Top 10 minus 7 HARD ROCK

Top Ten Lists. They are everywhere and have been for weeks.

Then I think, "10 is easy, how about 3?!"

So here it goes 10 days of Top Ten Lists minus 7!

First up. Top Hard Rock songs of all time.

VH1 hosted the Top 100 Hard Rock Songs of all time. I so disagreed with so many of their choices.

KM's TOP THREE HARD ROCK SONGS OF ALL TIME:

1. SAVIOR by SKILLET
2. DREAM ON by AEROSMITH
3. BRING ME TO LIFE by EVANESCENCE

Three is hard. You try it. What do you think the top 3 hard rock songs of all time were? Creede? Def Leppard? Bon Jovi? Metallica? Iron Maiden? Kutlass? Red? Stone Temple Pilots? 12 Stones?
See it is hard, no?

Phantasmagorical Freek Friday by KM Wilsher


Hey metal/goth/alternative/hard rock fans! Phantasmagorical Freek Friday is all about musicians, groups, and songs glorifying the Lord Jesus Christ in this genre.

PFF! Have you missed it? I have. And now: SKILLET

What I like about Skillet is their eclectic variety of instruments. Of course, they stay true to the metal/alternative sound that I adore, but they add a measure of melody and stringed instruments that move my heart. Their lyrics --and what I’ve heard of their lifestyles-- are consistent with Christian values and; therefore, I am proud to support them and to recommend them to anyone I come in contact with.

There is another factor that endears me to Skillet–Lori Peters. . .the female drummer!!! As I look through Skillet media I see she’s left the band; but Jen Ledger replaced her in 2008, so there is still a female drummer! (I play -therefore I am a fan)

A youth pastor encouraged the founding members to form this band. Their name? Here is what I found on wikipedia: Coming from different styles of rock music, the two decided to name the band Skillet, since it was like "throwing it all in a Skillet, and see what you come up with". And I love what they are cookin' up!
My favorite song to date by this Jesus freak quartet is: Savior
CLICK HERE --- SAVIOR

The video is not so special. Not bad. But not sick. I have a whole very, very hot video in my head for this track. . .they haven’t asked me for it yet. :)

Upon the birth of the idea of Phantasmagorical Freek Friday, I knew I'd showcase this rockin' bunch. I've held off too long to give Skillet a gzusfreek center stage. Skillet is one of my top two fav bands.

Hope you enjoy. What is your favorite Skillet song?
