sooooooo
are you going to tell me anout the argents and give some reccs or am i gonna have to do it myself ๐คจ /silly
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS okay well the first thing i've seen of them was their live set of six video that i'm posting gifs of right now(which instantly hooked me but i put them on hold for a bit until my mind was ready to properly absorb)
otherwise i've been listening to all of the albums from first to last in order and loving everything
but if you just want some song recs NOT in order, then here are some:
hold your head up might be their most well known one. there is a long version and a short version, but here is one from when they were on the pilot episode of the midnight special (i always thought they were saying "hold your head up WHOA" but i learned they're saying WOMAN and i read that it was written in support of the women's liberation thing like not letting anybody get in their way, just hold your head up and keep going. my favorite lyric is "AND IF THEY STAAAARE JUST LET THEM BURN THEIR EYES ON YOU MOOOVING AND IF THEY SHOOOOUT DON'T LET IT CHANGE A THING THAT YOU'RE DOOOING")
god gave rock and roll to you was another big one one and kiss did a version of it that maybe is more well known, but i love the song even more now knowing that russ ballard(the singer in the sunglasses) wrote that when he was coming out of depression
liar was made popular when three dog night did a cover of it and made it a hit
one that gets stuck in my head very often is like honey
dance in the smoke is a very nice song to vibe to i think
ANNNNNND russ's voice in bring you joy is BEAUTIFUL
tragedy gets stuck in my head too and for some reason whenever i listen to it, i feel like i'm in the early 80's instead of the 70's and i don't know why
i love how happy celebration sounds
one of my favorite things is how some of their songs have very uplifting or encouraging sounds/lyrics
i'll include this one too even though the video has some issues but i love it anyway: it's only money
i'm still new to some of them and learning the names and matching what they sound like to their titles in my head but i'm currently listening to this one(i am the dance of ages) right now so i'll list it because i love
and just because i'm still reeling over it, here's a 1973 concert if you ever feel like watching something 44 minutes long(IT'S SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD)
#argent#argent band#i love both rod's voice and russ's voice#ROD IS FROM THE ZOMBIES IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW ALREADY. ROD ARGENT#and jim rodford the bassist and bob henrit the drummer were both in the kinks later after argent#and if you look at russ's wikipedia page there is a list longer than my life on it of songs he's written#and he produced a lot of things and played stuff on people's albums and things#IF ANYONE ELSE IS CURIOUS AND MIGHT WANT SONG SUGGESTIONS#BUT DIDN'T WANT TO ASK OR SOMETHING#HERE#A SHORT LIST#SONGS#LOOK#LISTEN#i would list some of russ's songs he recorded after argent but i haven't listened to many yet#but i DID listen and DO like his one of since you've been gone which was made popular by rainbow

#iron maiden#donington#1992#afraid to shoot strangers#donington afraid to shoot strangers#another amazing request#i hope there's not a better quality version of it somewhere#i mean on one hand i hope there is#but at the same time i hope i'm not making gifs of a bad quality one while there's a better one somewhere else#i mean this isn't bad like horribly bad quality#it's actually not that bad at all#it looks fine#okay wait i'll explain#so my gif program has a bunch of sliders on it for settings#they go from 1-100#and with most newer videos it automatically places the frame size slider at 20#that means its very touchy about size so just moving it up by 1 can make a big difference#(or down)#with most 80's videos or like the concerts i've been giffing#because theyre older videos#it usually places that slider at around 50-75#i normally have to move that down by at least 5 at a time to make a difference if the gif comes out too big#(if there's too many frames in a scene or something)#this video on the other hand was automatically all the way up to 100 and the gifs are still normal size#which normally means not great quality#it's not a problem because the gifs look good#but i always try to find if there's better quality videos of everything out there#especially when theyre requests because i feel like they need to be the best for the requesters#(omg i hope this doesn't sound like i'm complaining because im not i just worry about things)
