#DendensMusicDen. Day 195. About a year ago, I learned Truly Madly Deeply is by Savage Garden and it’s my wife’s favourite love song. Learn something new every day, eh? 😅 Other than that, this is the first time I sat down and listened to a whole album of Savage Garden, and I like it a lot. #MusicSky

#DendensMusicDen. Day 194. Within A Mile Of Home is Flogging Molly’s third studio album, and it was the most recent one to listen to when I first discovered them. Like the title suggests, it is filled with melancholy of Dave King missing his old home in Ireland, (1/2)
JC Denden
#DendensMusicDen. Day 193. One can hear how life experiences were poured into the lyrics for Time of my Life’s songs. It makes the album slightly more mellow than 3 Doors Down’s previous work. Not a great album to rock out to, but it’s a good time with solid songs nonetheless. #MusicSky #3DoorsDown

#DendensMusicDen. Day 192. A trip down memory lane with the military-themed Eurodance album The Mission by Captain Jack, which back then consisted of Franky Gee (RIP) and Liza da Costa, (1/2)
JC Denden
#DendensMusicDen. Day 191. I knew a song or two before I met my wife @paulinewrites.bsky.social , but she’s what you might call a Papa Roach superfan as you can see from this (then) new release with signatures. Other than Ego Trip’s killer artwork and a nice pop-up foldout album cover, (1/2)

#DendensMusicDen. Day 190. Pop classics distributed by RCA/Ariola is a great way to see what albums by which artists one might want to collect, but it’s also a great compilation that shows that popular music can still be great. We have some of these albums, and I’m interested in the rest. #MusicSky
JC Denden
#DendensMusicDen. Day 189. The Music Den slowed down as it gets harder to find albums we haven't listened to yet, but behold this classic album by The Police I found today from my dad's old collection. (1/2)
JC Denden
#DendensMusicDen. Day 188. One of my favourite albums ever, I finally actually own Disturbed’s Believe now. This vinyl edition is gorgeous to look at and still a joy to listen to. It was an era where I was slowly getting into Heavy Metal, (1/2)
JC Denden
#DendensMusicDen. Day 187. Already revisiting Switchfoot's The Beautiful Letdown in a separate entry? Well, yeah. This is the re-recorded (Our Version) edition in honor of the 20th anniversary of the album and the coinciding tour. Remembering the live performance, (1/2)
JC Denden
#DendensMusicDen. Day 186. DAAAAAAAYYYY-OH! There's no comparison to the infinitely positive, tropical vibes of Harry Belafonte. Ever since I saw Beetlejuice, I was hooked to his music. It's great to finally have his 20 greatest hits on vinyl. #MusicSky #PhysicalMedia #HarryBelafonte
JC Denden
#DendensMusicDen. Day 185. It took a while after getting the album before we got a new turntable, but after a few weeks we were finally able to listen to From Zero. So was the wait worth it? Well, let me put it this way: the promise of The Emptiness Machine was very fucking far from empty. (1/2)
JC Denden
#DendensMusicDen. Day 184. I totally get why Adele is so popular. Her voice is great and I love the lyrics, but the music is not for me. With Live At The Royal Albert Hall, I find myself getting bored after three songs. I should probably try a studio album next. #MusicSky #PhysicalMedia
JC Denden
#DendensMusicDen. Day 183. It's crazy to think I never listened to a full Aerosmith album before. The noise of Nine Lives is full of energy and can be a bit overwhelming, but overall it's really great Rock music in a way no other band does it. #MusicSky #PhysicalMedia #CD #RockMusic #Aerosmith
JC Denden
#DendensMusicDen. Day 182. Now known as Harlem Lake, the Dave Warmerdam Band recorded a fantastic album simply titled Play with a brilliant vocal performance from Janne Timmer in Soul, Country, Americana, Blues and Rock. Ranging from exhilarating to soul crushing and even funny, (1/2)
JC Denden
#DendensMusicDen. Day 181. With the album This Delicate Thing We've Made, it's clear Darren Hayes put a ton of passion in a magnificent blend of electronic pop music with pumping beats, hypnotizing melodies and a great vocal performance. #MusicSky #PhysicalMedia #CD #DarrenHayes
JC Denden
#DendensMusicDen. Day 180. This Is Who We Are was the first album of Dutch Rock band Di-rect with their new frontman. I wasn't really into this kind of pop rock back then, but I think it's pretty solid to listen to now. Quite reminiscent of The Who at times, when they go loud. #MusicSky #Di-rect
JC Denden
#DendensMusicDen. Day 179. Plagues of Babylon had to grow on me, and it did over time. I had only just been listening to Iced Earth and was accustomed to every album having a few standouts, but Plagues is more of a consistently high quality Heavy Metal. Stu Block kills it. #MusicSky #PhysicalMedia
JC Denden
#DendensMusicDen. Day 178. I remember Eminem was EVERYWHERE when Without Me was released. I frikkin loved it. Listening to the full album The Eminem Show for the first time now, I'm wondering why I took so long to do so, as I can't stop banging my head. Great flow! #MusicSky #PhysicalMedia #Eminem
JC Denden
#DendensMusicDen. Day 177. Like all the albums from The Goo Goo Dolls, Something For The Rest Of Us kind of got lost in my random MP3 list. Listening to the whole album now, I can really appreciate that unique Goo Goo Dolls-sound and some great songs overall without getting tired of it. #MusicSky
JC Denden
#DendensMusicDen. Day 176. Most of my extremely broad taste in music finds its roots in Blues, yet I hardly own any Blues albums. I enjoy it mostly live, but Harmonica Blues from Bob Corritore And Friends is a great reminder of one of the most memorable Blues nights I've had. #MusicSky #Blues
JC Denden
#DendensMusicDen. Day 175. Kōji Kondō's greatest work condensed on a single CD, epically performed by an orchestra. This 25th Anniversary Special Orchestra CD came with a copy of Skyward Sword, and as much as I loved that game, this was the true treasure of the package. (1/3)
JC Denden
#DendensMusicDen. Day 174. Never heard this before and I can't believe that I missed it. Smashing Pumpkins' Siamese Dreams boasts amazing vocals and lyrics supported by impressively varied arrangements that make for a timeless album that's uniquely as much punk as it is progressive. #MusicSky
JC Denden
#DendensMusicDen. Day 173. It’s never too late to discover music I have missed out on back in the days I was more into what was known as Classic Rock back then. First-time listen to Jimmy Eat World, (1/2)
JC Denden
#DendensMusicDen. Day 172. Switchfoot again. We were going to see them perform that night, so I figured, just this once, two albums of the same band in a row. I really feel like going through a hurricane listening to Hello, Hurricane, (1/2)
JC Denden
#DendensMusicDen. Day 171. This was my first-time listen to a Switchfoot album. I quite like it. The Beautiful Letdown is a good mix of heavy guitar and some lighter punk rock. Certainly very reminiscent of early 2000s vibes. Pretty cool! #MusicSky #PhysicalMedia #CD #Switchfoot
JC Denden
#DendensMusicDen. Day 170. What impresses me most about The Getaway, would be that it has that distinct laidback yet energetic Red Hot Chili Peppers’ sound all throughout, but (1/2)
JC Denden
#DendensMusicDen. Day 169. Switchfoot's frontman Jon Foreman compiled his solo EP's Fall and Winter in this incredibly relaxing CD combo. This is something I'd put in a game like Life Is Strange, which is like the highest praise coming from me. #MusicSky #PhysicalMedia #JonForeman #Switchfoot
JC Denden
#DendensMusicDen. Day 168. Sadly, I don’t have any of Danny Elfman’s brilliant soundtracks yet. I did make a compilation CD of 25 tracks and songs from The Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride, (1/2)
JC Denden
#DendensMusicDen. Day 167. Wow, The Who were absolute beasts on the stage. Just listen to their live renditions of Tommy's songs compared to the album. Live at the Isle of Wight Festival 1970 is an incredible performance overall. #MusicSky #PhysicalMedia #DVD #TheWho #RogerDaltrey #PeteTownshend
JC Denden
#DendensMusicDen. Day 166. Many, many days after listening to Gandalf’s Journey Through An Imaginary Land, I was again in the mood for some soothing melodies. Visions did not disappoint as, yet again, a work of pure musical wizardry. #MusicSky #PhysicalMedia #Vinyl #Gandalf #NewAge #Ambient
JC Denden
#DendensMusicDen. Day 165. Otherwise known as “that creepy tune from The Exorcist”, when you listen to the album, Tubular Bells turns out to be something much more. A journey through different styles; what Mike Oldfield crafted here transcends Progressive Rock and mesmerizes constantly. #MusicSky
JC Denden
#DendensMusicDen. Day 164. Some of my all-time favourite songs come from The Rolling Stones. The Stones Story is an awesome compilation album that contains their autobiography, pictures and arguably their best songs. I bought it in great condition as well. Possibly the best 2 euros I ever spent.
JC Denden
Denden's Music Den. Day 163. Already a pretty big fan of Flogging Molly at the time, Whiskey On A Sunday was their first release I was there for on day 1. I’ll save the documentary for my Movie Den, but the accompanying bonus/soundtrack DVD is equally interesting. (1/2)
JC Denden
#DendensMusicDen. Day 162. Godley + Creme's Ismism is really, really weird. It's like several poem readings with a variety of jazzy and groovy tunes, that occasionally come together into something resembling songs. I kinda like it.
