Well, tbh, I really just went through things I know about him, and then thought about how they would affect a person. and I think you are a great mod for this @MissInkBlot. You are so positive and affirming!!

Absolutely agree

Great choices everyone. I would rock this soundtrack while cruising in the wave rider, or in Cleveland (new home of BL rebooted by Tony Isabella) right down the road from me. Also, @TravisMorgan knows the area.

Thank you @MissInkBlot. Glad you liked my choices. Can’t wait for next week’s subject.

Lightning Crashes by Live - I think this song fits in perfectly with Thunder and Lightning. Black Lightnings daughters. Has a sort of family ring to it and coming into your own.

@capo-mage - I’m honored you’re honored! Most would be terrified.

@AmberButane2814 - Aww, I like the way you described that - it makes me think this is the DC Music version of the show Chopped Thank you, both for your kind words, and for being a part of this, showing just how awesome your taste in music is! These posts are the highlight of my week, so the pleasure’s truly all mine.

@TravisMorgan - You’re very welcome! I hope you like this week’s theme!

@Nok - Ah, you and @AmberButane2814 are on the same wavelength this week, and I can’t help but agree with you both. I mentioned yesterday, but this was my first time listening to Live, and I’m already sold (it’s February, so the hearts are already floating out of my head over the new bands you’re all sharing with me ). Thank you for mentioning this - I love the reason given, and how you’ve added his daughters into the mix this week!

I’d say 'ol BL would lean towards Metallica’s “Ride The Lightning”, because it fits his thematic aesthetic, and also because classic Metallica is badass.

Afterward…I’d go with 4 Strings’ “Let It Rain”. All the talk of lightning must make Mr. Pierce eager for a little rain too.

Thank you for the compliment. I really do love this thread, and it is so much fun to make playlists for SHs. I am so greatful for you hsting this for us.
I also want to say that I think we should figure out how to put these playlists on Spotify and Youtube, if they aren’t already.
I am also proud to get the Chopped reference.
And finally, I swear to the Source Wall if you keep deflecting compliments I will just compliment you more!!
