Haven't watched "Sharpe" but I like the video and the song is all right, too: 6/10.

Ah Mark, at least Michael's heart was in the right place... well when he wasn't molesting children.

Well, it's that kind of difference of opinion that makes a horse race.



Have you heard of a little courtesy ?

Towards whom? If you mean the dead guy, I don't think he'd fully appreciate my magnanimity. And if you feel I should be more courteous to those here who like the song - well, you know - cut'n'thrust of intellectual debate in the forum and all that. I don't think anyone should take it personally that someone else doesn't like the same music - especially in a thread of which the point is to rate songs offered. Me, I thought I was uncharacteristically generous to that one.

[Sapphire]

Isn't this a cover of some other song? I do not think it improved much... Dancable though :) But that's usually the case with a beat...

Have you heard of a little courtesy ?Hoope,

Please don't take any of this personally. None of the comments are addressed to the poster (well, apart from a few that were addressed to me :p) and it is only natural that, as in books, we have different likes and dislikes when it comes to music.

And truth be told, such honest comments are what makes this thread interesting and fun; otherwise, if we all kept giving "10/10" to every single song, there would be no point in this game at all.

However, if you don't want to risk receiving negative comments about the songs you like particularly, why not avoid posting them and opt for random songs?

I see what you mean with the cranberries - for me it is more a matter of moods. Sometimes I really like to listen to them, sometimes that voice just really gets on my nerves :lol:

As I like her voice and Steinman's song, and that kind of music video does appeal to me in some strange way...

Don't worry. There's nothing there to feel. It's a cynically-designed and mechanically-executed money-making confection devoid of the slightest hint of human involvement. Which, of course, was always Mick Hucknall's dubious genius.

I really liked the early stuff from the Kings of Leon - the Molly's Chamber era. And though I thought Sex on Fire (or, as we've had to convince our six-year-old daughter who sings it at the top of her voice in supermarkets, My Socks is on Fire) was too influenced by U2, it had real energy. This one, on the other hand, is kinda pedestrian. I hope it's not typical of the album - especially as the album is being pushed so hard. I mean, primetime Saturday night ads on terrestrial TV. Someone has decided this is going to be huge.


Meanwhile, one from the actually-lyrics-matter department....

The salty lips of socialite sisters
With their continental fingers
That have never seen working blisters.
Oh, I know they've got their problems.
I wish I was one of them. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--y_TaofYek&feature=related)

Spice Girls - VIVA FOREVER
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3jVYCGTe5I

[MarkBastable]

Utterly devoid of the faintest scintilla of the suspicion of an echo of the remnant of the lingering aftertaste of the last trace of the fleeting aroma of a forgotten memory of a redeeming feature. 0/10

I'm very judgmental when it comes to musique and I'm quite the snob. But I'll still give it 5/10 because Monsieur Furnier is cool.

7.5/10. A little weird, but I kinda like it.

Well I was denied access...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4W_nXURlYjc&feature=fvst

[Sapphire]

Odd, I can access just fine :crazy: The song is "Take That - the Flood". I never saw the music video and my jaw dropped when I realised they were going to row. It's funny to see how they stagger along :lol: And I did not know there existed boats for a crew of 5 - cox excluded. Learned someting there...
Not crazy about the song though, but then again I never was that happy with Take That. I like most of Robbie Williams' songs though, for some reason :banghead:
2/10

As for the song Shalot picked: Def Leppard :hurray:
7/10

Yet another style of music: Morgan Page - Fight for you (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aSOQRih6WY)

Some electro pop

[Sapphire]

Sounds familiar, but somehow I feel like it is a misser: it sounds like the pet shop boys or the like, but it lacks something and I can not say exactly what...

I'm never sure when it comes to "music genre", but I think this is electro pop too.
I don't like my hear neat (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lE2B8PfsvGk)

I don't know why I liked that so much. It's.... I dunno. But I liked it. 8/10



In terms of a kinda two-handed surreal thing, it reminded me of this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2a4gyJsY0mc&feature=related) - a band who rarely disappoint in the wtf-is-that-about stakes.

[Sapphire]

:D I know that one :hurray: I have to say: I thought there voices were a bit more raw...
7/10

A song I realy like, with a great music video: dEUS - Slow (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9OILKwaFNA). Though the dancing girl can sing, she's not the one who really sings the vocal in this song.

I listened to the beginning again to see if Jean-Claude started with that lump on his head. When I did I kept hearing "and kiss my a**". Perhaps it's the audio version of an optical illusion. Or perhaps it's been a long week. :lol:

I concede to no one in my admiration for the Dutch. Their culture, their tolerance, their pragmatism, their art, their capital city.... The two years I lived Amsterdam were absolutely the happiest of my premarital life.

However, every nation has a weak spot and with the Dutch it's their music, which is in every incarnation - from trad accordion-driven oompah to facile mindless europop - as irritating and distracting as a hornet in a hot car.

This, for instance, is the music you'd get if a precocious eight-year-old mastered the use of a cheap sequencer, and had his big brother write the lyrics. It invokes in me the pavlovian reaction that it's time to call a cab and go home. 0/10

John Prine's one of a group of guitar-led, blues-fed artists, who I know I ought to like but who just strike me as kinda...worthy. They remind me of fly fisherman - despite it appearing that they've spent all afternoon standing up to their thighs in cold river water while tying complicated knots in invisible thread, they probably enjoyed catching the trout a hell of a lot more than you're going to enjoy consuming it. 4/10

This guy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1yGVqiCF_k&feature=related) has just won X Factor, which is the Brit equivalent of America's Next Top Pop Star or whatever it's called. Whatever you may think of the show - and I'm not a fan - all that matters is the guy's voice, which is extraordinary. I may find myself buying his records, and I never thought I'd say that about someone who emerged from a show such as this. He can even persuade me to listen to this song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4mfUyjfuA0&feature=related).

[faithosaurus]

Very nice voice. 9/10.

0/10 - this song makes me want to die. I hate it. I don't have a reason for why I hate it - it's not like something bad happened to me and this song happened to be on at the time, and it's not like it reminds me of painful break-up or something like that. There is no reason other than the fact that I really HATE this song. Where's that thread talking about BAD songs? If someone were to unearth that thread and I happened to notice it, then I would put this song on that thread. Ughh. I don't even know why - I have never liked it. Ever. Ever. EEEVVVVERRRR.

Here's mine. I may have linked this before - don't know. anyway, here it is. I don't know why I like this song either. i just do.

An almost forgotten song I heard again today: City to City - the Road ahead (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IN9jsx-Iu1o)

They actually showed that movie on TV yesterday :). Not my favourite song from the musical, but kind of sweet...

Called the best trance song ever... I beg to differ but I like to share :). Silence (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEvE_04x-xI) is a song by Sarah McLachlan, mixed by Delerium and then remixed by Tiesto. I guess I prefer it when the last step is skipped...

Bonzo Dog Do Dah band. Great name.

A peculiarly English phenomenon, the Bonzos. Not sure this'd work for most litnetters. Then again, I'd've said the same about the Pythons, and they're huge all over the place. 8/10

0/10... that was just so not my cuppa anything

Avantasia - The Wicked Symphony (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WreVu_fczeM&hd=1) (try to listen to all of it ;) )

[Shalot]

1/10

The 1 is for the first part - the part that sounded like the soundtrack in a movie where some battle is being fought (Lord of the Rings came to mind). And then the singing started - disaster. Sounded like a bad musical and then bad 80's hair music. Worse than Europe - the final countdown. :yikes: sorry. I couldn't make it all the way through.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99hlp9WefPs&feature=related

[Jay]

Ok, theta I like, this would be more fun with glasses though. I just don't much get why they have to play the piano in binaural tracks, always distracts me. Violin I get, but piano's just not doing it for me in binaural.

7/10 because of the piano, by itself the piano's fine but it doesn't really fit into the track for me.

Avantasia - Blizzard On A Broken Mirror (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FU-GXyXK-Kc&&hd=1)

yeah ok, I have a thing for the entire album, sue me ;)

[MarkBastable]

Suddenly it's 1973 and Uriah Heep have a lot to answer for. Ghastly. 0/10


I wouldn't tell you if I didn't care..... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46pfPVE5q1o) If only Johnny Marr had met Kirsty before he met Morrissey.

Meh. 4/10.

P.S. Jay, I really liked the Avantasia stuff.

[MarkBastable]

Below the video, the first comment from a viewer is, Opeth caused me to masterbate 3 days straight.

After which, further critique seems superfluous. 0/10

[Mutatis-Mutandis]

So you rate songs based on other people's reactions? Okay. You probably didn't even listen to the whole song, as anyone with half a brain would at least acknowledge the merits of the writing. Probably heard the vocals and turned it off.

Arctic Monkeys - "Fake Tales Of San Francisco" Just another unoriginal dime-a-dozen indie band. Still, it has a nice hook 5/10.

Genesis - "The Lamia" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJ3eGROTtq0)

I like the "half a brain" comment. So you rate people's mental capacity by whether they agree with you?

Genesis had their moments, and none of them were after Gabriel left. The thing about the Lamb Lies Down - the good thing, on the whole - is that PG wrote all the lyrics, which meant we were spared the others' pseudoclassical meanderings. Then again, PG seems to have felt the need to appease them with this little sojourn into Graeco-Keatsian myth. The tune works, but the lyrics and the imagery are a bit adolescent. 6/10


It was a great stage show though.

Another from the dime-a-dozen indie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lp1fQ51YZMM). I think Alex is the best chronicler of domestic romance that rock music has produced since Paddy McAloon. It's not a huge thought - but then I only have half a brain to think it with.

Just as bad as forming an opinion based on someone else's opinion. I just don't see how someone could give that song (or much of any song, for that matter) a zero. To me, that says you think the song has absolutely no redeemable features, objectively or subjectively. Which means you ignored the writing, probably didn't listen to the whole song (which includes many mellow and acoustic interludes accompanied by wonderfully sung clean vocals), and the excellent musicianship. It just pisses me off when someone writes a song off due to certain aspects of the song that wasn't liked and therefore refuse to see the virtues of other aspects of the song--much like you did with the Avantasia songs. Frankly, I think that Arctic Monkeys song is horrible, but I can still see the positives in it.

The British music 'press' have an acute talent for misplaced hype, but I think The Arctic Monkeys are a rung above most of the next big things. 7/10.

Fleet Foxes - "Blue Ridge Mountains" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7m8CkxXhPtw)

[MarkBastable]

An interesting, if slightly anaemic, arrangement, and a nicely wrought melody. The metaphor's a bit wasted on me, but then I'm a city boy who thinks trees shouldn't be allowed out unless shackled and accompanied by an armed guard.

5/10

Not that I have to agree with the sentiment of a song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcpzpGMrHeM)in order to be blown away by it.

Not bad. Not a huge fan of the gospel stuff, but Aretha does have one hell of a voice. 6/10.

Gustav Holst - The Planets - Mars, the Bringer of War (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0bcRCCg01I)

that's some angry music 5/10 and all that 5 is for the part before the vocals. After that, I was just unhappy.

I remember this song from when I was just a little child, 8/10.

I have to admit that given this was the one time someone other than me posted a gay anthem, and that you got to it before me to give it a 0, has made me slightly resentful.

Faith No More - "Malpractice" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSh2-gDn82k)

It hasn't quite got the epic resonance of California Dreamin', has it? 4/10, out of sheer respect for Mama Cass's role in the Canyon scene.

Incidentally, harking back a few, can I just opine that I Lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper is one of the best singles ever made, and probably the only twelve-inch re-mix I ever bought. The lyrics were written by Bob Calvert. Of Hawkwind. No, really.

I pretty much agree, I just picked that because it's the first Mama Cass video that popped up after a search, and Mama Cass was the only thing that came to mind when I ran out of weird videos.

I'm not sure it's one of the best singles ever, haha. Sarah Brightman is something interesting too, she was the first person to perform the role of Christine in Phantom of the Opera as well. She had a pretty big hit with "Time to Say Goodbye" a few years back:

It's my feeling that her career peaked with Trooper and it's been a dizzy plunge into middlebrow mediocrity ever since. I'd be nastier about her, but she was married to Andrew Lloyd-Webber, so she's suffered enough. 3/10
