Not one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs, but still Floyd. 7/10.
A true musical genius. Too bad there isn't a clip that contains the whole of Part 1.

Well, certainly not overwhelming. But not really underwhelming either. So - I dunno - whelming. 5/10Quote:

Talk about kids that like saying 'dick' in class, eh? Boring song with a message that's been delivered many times before in much more creative ways. Add the techno-laden music, and you have a real stinker. 2/10.
Thoughts on religion.
I'm going to post the lyrics, too, because I love them:
(We'll cut you down to size)
There is a woman burning at the center square
Raven black eyes and long let out hair
Screaming, while cloaked vultures holier-than-thou circle and glare
At sweat drops on pale skin like satin
And as the raging flames work her into cinder
Said in their defence:
Stupidity and ignorance, prejudice and intolerance
All sound so much wiser when dressed up in Latin
Life will never be the same
I have a bigger world since I found God
Truth will never be the same
I'm in a righter mind since I found God
(I found God)
I found...
Mrs Modern Mother Mary, all pale and weary
From raising her overweight kids in the outskirts of Suburbia
On a nice Christian gender based salary
And a church she can merely attend
And there on the flip-side of Caucasia we see
Miss Modern Mary Magdalene gone Deep Throat
On international cable TV
So you keep talking about progress and equality
But to me, the crusade is still on my friend
Silly me who always thought
Life was for the living
And giving in to lust
Was all to give and to be given
Life will never be the same
I have a better view since I found God
Guilt will never be the same
I'm on a higher ground since I found God
I found God...
Life will never be the same
I have a better view now
There's always someone else to blame
I'm on the winning team now
Death will never be the same
I'm in the faster lane now
No more am I the one to blame
I have a juster cause now
Love will never be the same
Lust will never be the same
Shame will never be the same
I will never be the same
And
You will never be the same
I am by no means averse to metal, but this is incredibly dull. 3/10.

Even now, pretty much unsurpassed. 10/10
While we're in that vicinity....
Yep. 10/10.Quote:

P.S. The Rolling Stones are the most overrated band in human history :nod:.
10/10 love them!! (watched them live last summer at sonisphere and they were simply great)Quote:

If you're 30-somethin', you're gonna love this.

7/10 (but the video did the trick)
seeing it's Valentine's day, here's something romantic : ]]]

Ha ha. Good idea and the song is ok. 7/10Quote:

I could never get into Weller - I think it's something to do with his unremitting po-facedness. There's no glimmer of fun in the man. 4/10
Here's a song that Weller described as one of the two best records of the late Sixties. (The other was Waterloo Sunset.) Can't fault his taste, then.
I like it, but the high points give me a bit of a headache. 8/10.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLR1jbsSLPk
For hap/R&B, it's not as bad as it could be. 3/10.
For Valentine's Day (if I posted this already, as I suspect I did, my apologies. It just seems fitting.)
It was ok until it got to the screamy part. 5/10.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUZ8USLbHXs
As a general rule, I hate rap. But I really liked this. Good message and nice melodic interludes. But, still, it's just too long. Thanks for posting some good rap, though :thumbsup:. 7/10
One of the closest things to rap I like. This guy is definitely gimmicky, and I really don't like his later work when he used so much techno-crap. But I love this song and his whole first live album. Love the good musicians he has with him.
I just can't get into that 4/10.
Valentine's is technically over, but I didn't get to post a sappy romantic themed song.

Not my cup of tea but cute and pleasant 6/10

They almost lost me at 'behold'. Since 1880 or thereabouts, nobody using 'behold' has contributed much to the sum of human happiness.
However, I stuck with it and I have to say that the entire thing - music, vocal, video, general approach - was so unabashedly mannered and pretentious that I was seduced by its internally-consistent charm. I'm glad there are people out there producing such fathomless tosh. Just the fact that they can make it and get it to me inspires a sort of warm, reassured feeling about the democratic nature of the Web.
Yay, them.
7/10
Here's one that, if you classified it by genre, I'd have to say was not up my street. But a great song and a unique voice will transcend genre every time.
I liked that one quite a bit. 7/10
I'm in the mood for somethin' wit' a little more funk.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCBg0...eature=related
The kind of song that needs no lyrics. 8/10.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCQTr8ZYdhg
I'm not always completely convinced by the Floyd, but when they're good, they are very good indeed. 8/10
What do you say? You know any more?
Awesome Floyd song. 9.5/10
Winner of the Grammy for Best New Artist (someone who actually deserves a Grammy actually got one. Who would've thunk it?)
I'd already done the Floyd. You missed one.
But your Grammy winner - pretty good - and very unusual, in that context. So 8/10.
Back to the one that was skipped.
What do you say? You know any more?
Dammit, I love the Beatles so much! Favorite is John.
10/10
I've always really liked this video.

I agree. I like his stuff though. Before he got those horrible blonde streaks in his hair, he looked like my brother, who looks nothing like me.Quote:

More funk?

Loves me some Rage. Though, one of my lesser liked songs of theirs. Just doesn't stand up to anything from their first two. I'm still disappointed that they did a cover album for their last release. I've always wondered if they did it because they owed their label another contractual album.
Still, it's Rage. 7/10
:lol:Quote:

Another from Esperanza Spalding. A different sounding tune than the one I posted before, but I love this one, too. Song starts around 1:30 if you wanna skip the interview, though I found it interesting.
How can you fail with a name like Esperanza Spalding? 6/10.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdTucUya9YE
Sorry, but that was just horrible. 1/10.
Love a little literature in my metal.
Hearty fare. 8/10.

8/10 One of The Clash songs I like, I find them really hit or miss sometimes. I can't stand Rock the Casbah, Should I Stay or Should I go Now, and Train in Vain. I like Complete Control, London Calling and White Man.
Let's go back to a song from the winner of the Best Album Grammy, from when only hippest of the hipsters knew who they were.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwcaDvr8f1o
I won't go into another anti-indie rant, so I'll just give it a 2/10.
I need cleansing after Arcade Fire.
Haha, I don't think our musical taste can ever mesh well MM 3/10
So, let's take another approach and I'll post something I think is ridiculously horrible, but provides some sort of fascinating kitsch appeal. South African rap, I think it's about having a large penis or something, I find it difficult to understand.
Video not appropriate for kiddies:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbW9J...eature=related
Edit: I think it may be promoting safe-sex as well lol.
What the **** was that? The line, "Don't touch my penis, I'm not a gay," had me laughing, though. An ironic line, seeing as he's surrounded by penises. 8/10 for the absurdity.
And, I don't know about that, OrphanPip. I've yet to meet anyone I can't find some sort of musical commonality with. I mean, surely you like The Beatles? That's too easy, though. How about this, from a favorite metal band of mine.
There has to be some sort of logic behind it but the cultural difference just makes it bizarre beyond belief.Quote:
