There’s always a time when you would love to have that
subtle music playing in the background, without any lyrics, during your evening
conversations over a beer, or any relaxing moment. They’re like fillers, to
fill in the gaps of silences, and yet at the same time, going under when
someone speaks. Now, you party lovers might just think of some Trance music,
but trust me, you’re not going to have that meaningful conversation with Armin
Van Buuren playing in the background.
You would be amazed as to how much difference that song in
the background can make to your evening, even if its just back at home. Here
are some of the top songs you should have on your playlist, in no particular
order –

i like this article.. gonna try the metal list out tonight.. ;-)
ReplyDeletebut if you don't want to stick to instrumentals, i find that most thrash metal albums make excellent beer-music.. queue up some tankard or municipal waste, crack open a cold one or five, and let the good times roll..
