A to Z Band Challenge : The Letter B (Finally!)

Finally, we are on to the letter "B". Sadly, there are plenty of bands here, as well! Or course we have to start with my all time favorite...

BLACK SABBATH -
Everyone knows my feelings about these guys, I am sure! My favorite band since I was 5, and the only you will see in all caps! A favorite song is VERY hard to pick, but I will choose "Children of the Sea" because one day, I will learn to play bass and sing it at the same time (that's SINGING Dio, while PLAYING Geezer...WHEW!)! When this is accomplished, I am quite sure I will become a veritable god! 

Budgie -
Probably only us musicians even remember this band, but they are actually still making some great music. I'll have to just mention my favorite album here, "In for the Kill". I love the whole thing! If forced to pick a song, it would be "Wondering What Everyone Knows". It is the "quirkiest" on the album.

Bruce Dickinson -
I mention Bruce outside of Iron Maiden because Bruce has done some phenomenal stuff...outside of Iron Maiden! I MUST name a FEW : "Cyclops", "Believal", "The Alchemist, "The Arc or Space and Time", "The Gates of Urizen" to name but a smattering!

Blutengel- 
Very interesting, very danceable, sometimes more traditional, classical, sometimes more industrial, always VERY theatrical, German Goth Rock. "Lucifer", "Born Again", "You Walk Away", to name but a few...GOTTA LOVE 'EM!

Bjork - 
Yep, she's NUTS, and I LOVE HER for it! This woman is totally ageless! I think it is her childlike, yet all-knowing spirit! My personal favorites would be "Army of Me" and "Come to Me", two drastically different tunes which I think showcase her massive versatility. I have loved her since the Sugar Cubes! 

I promise to TRY and limit the next post to only 5 more "B's", but no promises!
