I was ready to give this a low rating because I thought it was some **** indie band, since most just rip off old music and repackage it as deep-artsy BS. Then I looked down and saw it was an actual innovative band from the 60s that I'd never heard of (or, at least don't remember hearing). So, 9/10.

If someone rates this low, you're a bad person.

One of my least favourite Beatle's songs, but it's still the Beatles, 6/10

7/10 - sounds so sweet but it isn't

I know excess is part of the Zeppelin charm but it seems to me that, in this instance, their intemperance negates the possibility of a great song, leaving us with merely a good one. 6/10.

I hate rap. But, the lyrics were definitely more interesting than most rap I've heard, so 5/10.

One of my favorite love songs.

The Comedian

Like it. 8/10

It got me in the mood for loud, angry, and political. And since I'm a '90s kind of guy. That means this:

Yes. Love this song. When I posted "Killing in the Name Of," I couldn't decide between that song or "Bulls on Parade," so a big 10/10.

Another protest song. :cornut:

I didn't like it. I like a good sing along - even if it's rock. 0.002/10

I used to listen to this before hitting town on a Friday and Saturday nights to get the blood up for a good night. Now I just hit the sack.

10/10 The Allman Brthers are great.

Have you heard this version? Not as good as the previous version, but I think it added to the song too.

I've always been a fan of Elfman's scores. I really like this, too, but I gotta say the chorus brings it down a couple points. Eliminate the singing, and I think it'd be much better. 7.5/10.

One of my favorite movie scores.

I like it 9/10.

This one brings back those late nights trying to watch this film all the way through- it's loooooooonnnnnnnnng. It's a great tune.

The music is really evocative of the characters, though it's a terrible manipulation because the characters are very unsympathetic murdering hoods.

A little slow for my taste, and I haven't seen the movie so that doesn't affect my rating. But, I liked how it built. 7.2/10.

Another of my favorite movie-score tunes.

Ah, I suppose it's good atmospheric movie for a film, 5/10.

Much as I despise musicals, Cabaret is one of my favourite movies. But then it's not a musical. No urchins dance along cobbled streets. No hoodlums perform ballet on subway platforms. No nuns serenade distant peaks. In Cabaret, the plot revolves around a night-club, and the songs - neatly relevant though they are to the action - take place on the stage of that club. Even the one 'outside' song is realistic and credible and quite terrifying.

If I were going for songs from Cabaret, I'd probably choose Money. But this one's pretty damn good. As was Minnelli.For her, it was all going to be downhill.....

8/10

When I was ten, I thought this was great. Now I think it's awful callous Broadway corn. But here's to the ten-year-old me.

Liza. 1/10.

One last movie tune . . . Baaaaaaa Baaaaaaaaaa, ba-ba-ba-Baaaaaaaaaaa Baaaaaaaaaaaaa

I've always been more of a Star Trek fan, but the music is iconic 7/10.

And I'm not giving up on musicals!

I like it more for the message of rebellion than the song itself. 6/10.

Dunno about anyone else, but I decided to keep out of the way until that last song was rated, because I loathed it but I wasn't about to risk invoking the withering scorn of Mutatis by saying so.

But what the hell - I'm here now.

Self-indulgent tosh. 2/10 (just for remembering it all).

The empty sidewalks....

Not my favorite Four Tops but it's still the Four Tops 7.5/10.

Staying in the same era:

I'm done getting upset by other people's ratings. It's all good. And, hey, it's not my problem if one can't appreciatte true musicianship and compositional genius :D. It's pretty clear to me that some of you think that anything with extended solos, or anything that's complex, is gratuitous and self-indulgent, but it's just your opinion :nod:. And I'll keep posting tosh, anyways.

As to the above song, it's okay. 5/10.

Beautiful song and beautiful lyrics.

I'm glad you've decided to take that attitude Mutatis because I am wholly indifferent to the labored, elevator folk of Messrs. Simon and Garfunkel. 4/10.

I concede to no man in my admiration of Nick Lowe's work, and I submit that Brinsley Schwarz is perennially overlooked when lists of great guitar players are compiled - but this is a rather pedestrian effort from a bunch of talented lads looking for a purpose. 5/10

Here's Brinsley having found his purpose, which was to provide fizzy sherbert guitar to complement the bitter lemon songs of Graham Parker.

Incidentally, sixsmith, I tend to agree with you about The Sound of Silence - but there's some S&G stuff that completely works. When Simon focuses on the details of the domestic, he's unbeatable. (And when he's on form, you do in fact like his stuff. You gave America seven out of ten a few months back.) Garfunkel, obviously, is a complete waste of space.

That was painful. 1/10.

I do agree about Garfunkel. He was useless, or maybe replaceable would be a better adjective. "The Sound of Silence" (probably the teacher in me, but songs go in quotes) is beautiful, though.

Still one of my favorites.

I was at uni when this was released. Great album it was from too. David Byrne's recently been touring again wearing a tutu.

It's good - 8/10. You can hear the older influences in it - so it's an amalgam of earlier styles, like most are. No worse for that though.

Takes me back. Bitter and 4xxxx Lager.

Ah yes - back in the old days when rap was performed by polite young men and they had proper tunes and words you could understand. 6/10 for the 'it was all fields round here when I was a boy' factor.

Incidentally, '4xxxx' would be 16 x's. That must have been strong stuff.

Here's a rather charming if slightly too reverential cover.
