Oh dear, not my cup of tea at all! Utterly monotonous, though not actually unpleasent - it's the sort of music you might get in an elevator... 2/10.
Hmm, how will this one fare:

Not bad, but not something I'd have on the MP3 7.5/10.Quote:

Strangely baroque and indie, a beautiful and ingenious juxtaposition.

I can't stand Colin Meloy's voice, the video quotes heavily Wes Anderson's Rushmore, have they paid the copyright? 6/10

It was all right. Enjoyed the melody for most part: 4/10.Quote:

Here's one that is much loved by myself and my younger daughter, Grace. It never fails to me move me to a not-unmanly tear. Sometime soon I'll post the one that's special to my elder daughter, Eleanor.
(Yes - a tear. Me. Imagine.)
I see what you're doing Bastable. The old 'daddy-daughter-special-song' routine. Give it anything less than 8 and you'll be condemned as a heartless grinch. Yeah, that's right, I didn't come down in the last shower. 9/10.Quote:

I found the subtextual juxtaposition of cotton, images of African-Americans in fields and singing about the 'ole' times' to be a little bit subversive, but maybe that's just me and merely unintended. Either way, I'm not that into country anyway. 2/10
This is such a touching and haunting song, and truly a fine eulogy from one of America's greatest artists. I'm not much of a sentimental guy with music, but I usually almost cry when I hear this. Stranger than ever that this is actually a cover of a Nine Inch Nails song, it fits him perfectly and makes it extremely personal and powerful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clq01TXQR0s
Not really my genre, but I found it rather moving. It is subtle and profound - 7.5/10.
It reminded me of this song, though they're actually quite different:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUgbaYQzkOY
I love all kinds of music, but for some reason most country just can't appeal to me. I love the classic tracks of Johnny Cash of course, and Taylor Swift is quite nice, but most of it just doesn't connect to me unfortunately. Love folk though, lol. 2/10
On the other hand, this does: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEC8nqT6Rrk
Love Miles Davis!

Here's one:

Too many chicks, not enough Dixie. 5/10.Quote:

Not bad, but not massively memorable. Plus, it sounds like the singer is having a small stroke after each verse... 6/10.Quote:

Love it!

Let's keep the laughs going.

Good stuff! Not 'real' music, but funny - 8/10.
On the theme of funny songs:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhuMLpdnOjY
I love Lehrer! Not a bad pianist either. 8/10
Here's musical parody at its best (not as effective if you haven't seen the original). Kinda long yes, but its digressions are brilliant. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmGVYki-oyQ
I pretty much despise Weird Al, but this was surprising. The writing was really tight and well-observed. It probably helps that I have no idea what he was parodying. 7/10
To get away from funny, let's go to Zeppelin - whom I respect, without being moved most of the time. But if I could have had anyone's life in the seventies, it would have been Robert Plant's.
Great voice, great guitarist, but I remain, as always, unmoved. 5/10.

Beautifully shot video of a slick performance of a disappointingly banal song.... 3/10
This is so familiar that it's difficult to get past the easy shrug in order to see how extraordinary a song it is, especially composed and performed by middle-class English teenagers....
Led Zeppelin, a band I just can't get too into for some reason, 6.5/10
Edit: On the other hand, I love "All Right Now" haha 8/10.
Since you're not familiar with the musical monstrosity that is Trapped in The Closet.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ch4d...eature=related
Hahaha, yes, what was R. Kelly thinking? That said, you've gotta love how unconsciously ridiculous and camp it is. 5/10
Btw, WTF is up with this indifference to Zeppelin? Damn man, don't get me started on Zeppelin.

Can't go wrong with Billie. 8/10

Agreed. And you've just posted a song that is very close to the best. Love this version. 10/10.Quote:

One of my favorite songs:

I'll admit it, Kiss is a bit of a guilty pleasure, 7/10.
Was listening to this on my ipod earlier today, another guilty pleasure:

Receptionist at the office (singing): Is this burning an eternal flame?
Me (in passing): More likely cystitis, I'd've thought.

I'm enamored of the vintage late 70s anime style in this video, supervised by the great Leiji Matsumoto.
Video was pretty good -- the song was. . .not my thing.
3/10

I have to say the same haha, not my kind of music 4/10.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ps7uk99XzsU
This is another stellar video, directed by Michel Gondry, great work.
Extraordinary video. Unforgiveable singer. It's like listening to a nine-year-old performing Songs from Broadway Shows to a captive audience at her birthday party. I blame the parents. 1/10
The message of this is not entirely up my philosophical street, but you can't beat the performance.
