My Favorite Local Music!

By Danny Tabs

For this week's blog entry, I received a request to create a list for my top ten songs of all time. I have way too many to choose from, however, I have probably around 20 playlists of my favorite music, which changes very frequently. To make this simpler for myself, while at the same time providing interesting and relevant content for the blog's viewers, I have decided to pick my favorite songs from Houston's own local music scene. I came to this decision in order to provide a list of music that caters more to the blog's audience, which many are members and fans of the local music scene. You might not know some of these songs or artists, and I am hoping to provide novel content and new music for your playlists. Given that I have interviewed local bands in the past, and have formed close working relationships with some of these artists, I will provide a list of unbiased opinions not putting into account whether I know these artists personally or not.

This list includes music that I genuinely cannot get enough of, and will listen and jam to in my own personal time simply for listening pleasure, regardless if I know these artists personally or not.That being said, at the top of my list is "In Continuum" by Midnight Spies. I chose this song as number one because I cannot go a single day without this song being in my head or me going out of my way to listen to it. It has a familiar 80s vibe to it but with completely original melodies and sounds that do not sound familiar at all. This song was released in 2024 but sounds like a long-lost unreleased song by a major artist of the 80s. I have included the list in its entirety in this post, so feel free to check all these songs out and let me know what you think!
