Throwing some ideas out there based on what you're describing

Bush - Glycerine
Live - Lightning Crashes

Are either of these in the neighborhood? Faster/slower?

Closer to glycerine but the guitar in live is also close. Slower on both counts.

I've had a power metal track stuck in the back of my head for over a week now and I can't remember the drat song for the life of me. It's something along the lines of Brainstorm or Gamma Ray and all I remember is them singing about seeking "shelter from the storm." I can also vaguely remember the main riff if there's some way of sharing that.

REO Speedwagon's Ridin' the Storm Out?

It doesn't have anything about shelter from the storm, but maybe along those lines?

Hawkwind's Brainstorm is about escaping the planet.

better man is too tinny, the guitar was more muted. it also blasts into a crescendo. this tune was mellow for at least the first maybe 2min, i didn't catch the rest after that. too much percussion and speed in sour girl. both bands were definitely in whatever playlist they were on.

all the songs it reminds me of just aren't quite right. i'm gonna be up there again tomorrow. i might ask what they use for their music. today it was classic rock instead.

EDIT: the tone of the guitar was a lot like that of opening water's edge by seven mary three but the notes/speed/etc was off and it didn't pick up like that song did. i also think spotify's results are getting muddy because i keep looking up all these 90s alt/grunge bands i remember and the "radio" playlists are just coalescing to those bands. like all these suggestions are squarely in the genre but the song was just kinda different.

Nah I distinctly remember the line being "shelter from the storm" I think as the last line from the chorus.

Aha, out of desperation I just searched for power metal in my old foobar playlist and went band by band until the vocalist sounded familiar and finally found it it:

The guitar tone sounds like the Staind song It's Been Awhile, and the song structure sounds like the Staind song Outside, so maybe this is some third song by Staind.

Not Jessica, although I could be convinced that it's another classically feminine J name

Not as jammy as Allman Bros either

e: I wanna say the instrumental part is stylistically similar to Classical Gas though I might be wrong

You just said it is not Jessica but at this point I am absolutely convinced you are describing Seals & Crofts' "Jessica" between the intro and the actually kind of accurate suggestion it has an instrumental break vaguely akin to Classical Gas

this is gonna be hella vague and i'm so sorry but i was under duress when i heard it and now it's driving me nuts.

i was in a harley dealership bathroom nearly falling over from heat exhaustion and i heard the riff. clean guitar (maybe bass), no distortion. even time, no percussion. if i had to do the sound it'd be like "dun dun dun dundundun dundundun dundundun" where the note progression was "down up down upupup downdowndown downdowndown". clean vocals, i only recall the word "she" as the opening word for one of the lines, which isn't super helpful. was a slower song for sure. i don't remember any crescendo to the song where they kicked in distortion or maybe not even percussion but i maybe only heard half the song so that might not be accurate. it was mellow at least.

would've been probably mid-90s grunge/alternative/rock. probably lumped in the same pile as sound garden, stp, alice in chains, and all that stuff. i'm almost certain the voice wasn't chris cornell or anything whiny. it was on some station that was also playing our lady peace and pearl jam.

terrible description, i know. it's all i can remember from the terrible moment. i've been combing alternative playlists on spotify. please send help.

EDIT: thinking back to it, maybe it's more in the lane of fuel and days of the new? that kinda post-grunge thing? i'm probably making it more murky. bottom line no overdrive/compression/distortion that i recall, minimal percussion if any. clean singing. still hella 90s sounding.

I'm looking for a song that Shaggy made or was featured in.

You'd think by knowing who was in it, I'd be able to find it, but no luck so far. Maybe it was someone who sounded like Shaggy.

hello
Is there another hip hop/rap song apart from Busdriver - New Aquarium that samples this dialogue from Repo Man? I just watched the movie for the first time but have heard that sample in the background on Spotify several times recently, though I thought it was more integrated into a longer song with other actual lyrics. Thought it might have been on Billy Woods' new album or a Black Thought song as I've had them on a bit lately, but doesn't seem to be, so probably on a daily playlist of similar artists.

If not it's probably the Busdriver one and I just wasn't paying attention.

it sounds more like an FM synth with PCM drum samples (so, tracker/chiptune) than general MIDI to me but idk

anyway it's a nice little tune and i'd like to find a version of it that doesn't have an about-to-die lowtax slurring his speech over it. kinda ruins the vibe.
