Pretty good for the new kids on the block. 8/10

Awesome, song, but the original can't be beat. 7/10.
How can we sleep at night
Knowing that we're hidden by our lack of emotion?
Just stoic disposition, what robotic guise.
P.S. Kudos to Mystyr for the Crash Test Dummies and Mark for the Genesis.
Agreed on the Genesis. Early Genesis is remarkeable.
Awaken the Dream - Not bad. Didn't blow me away, but it didn't suck. 6/10
This song is responsible for the paradigm shift in birthdays and how they will be viewed in the coming century:

No thanks 1/10 for trying a new tack, but aimless

I've wondered from time to time what it is about INXS that leaves me cold. I think it's that their stuff seems so inexcusably insubstantial. It's a tapestry of cliches, all skilfully stitched together but without any real content. Their music has hidden shallows. 3/10
For no other reason than the connection between the titles, here's Declan and the boys.
INXS???
Oh I see what's happened - I was going through things from my sister's record collection, and ah, yeah I agree - but how did you manage a whole '3'?
Anyway - Glorious mono aside Elvis still has his attractions, um, briliance shines through like the sun on an overcast yuotebu day - 8.5/10
This is what I'd meant to submit:

Sorry, MM, really didn't like that one. At all. 2/10 (an extra point because the singer was hot)
Did I already post this song? I don't care, I can't get enough of it.
You do get that it was a joke song, right?Quote:

Listen to the song - she's not singing 'I love you, Baby' - and she's not asking for your love - she's demanding it! Demanding it because she knows she deserves it!
The arrangement's a classic, the underlying metaphor in the second verse is-
I digress
The next got a 1/10 for the joke - I'd like to hear others opinions but at the same time I wouldn't want them wasting bandwidth on it
Mutatis' gets a 7 due to a certain nostalgic air it stirs in me though I can't quite place it
This next is - at least amongst particular circles - an unrivaled megastar of early nineties techno-ness (it meant disparate things to many different experimenters back then)

I get the rating, it's just that your analysis seemed to be taking it seriouslyQuote:

Hmmmm. Techno. Never been a fan. I did like some of the videos The Crystal Method put out on MTV when I was a youngin'; they were fun to watch and the music was fun to listen to, but only for about 3 minutes or so. But 10? I guess it's good for what it is, though, so 4/10.
Speaking of musical jokes, this guy was one of, if not the first musical jokesters. At 0:38 he throws in a quite startling not that would definitely make one jump if they weren't ready for it.
Oh, Haydn, you incorrigible scamp. Pull the screens round and call the nurse - I appear to have split my sides.
5/10
Binary solo....
Haha, they're great. Cool intro in this version. 9/10.
In keeping with the theme.
10/10 'cause I would have Bruce McCulloch's babies.Quote:

I've never understood the appeal of Kids in the Hall. They always struck me as trying way too hard to be the next Monty Python, and failing horribly. 1/10.
I'm feeling angry for no particular reason.
One of the comments was perfect when applied to DEP: "It's the complete opposite of easy listening. You cannot be a lazy listener; it demands that you turn on your brain and leave it on for the whole experience. Absolute genius music."
Me too, now. 2/10
Bowie at the epic height of his irresistible camp affectation.
(I read the lyrics, I watched the album cover, I saw the comments and now I'm as confussed as ever - a very quiet whispery 7.5 because I might be wrong)

I've always thought that Pink Floyd is sort of like acne: it's an ugly phase we all have to deal with. . . that at the time seems so important, but upon reflection is pretty insignificant.
2/10
Poor Boy Blues - Chet Atkins and Mark Knopfler http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3V_Mo_jQ1g
I had trouble (about 80% of the time, anyhow) telling which guitar was Chet, and which one was Knopfler 'stealing from Chet', and the whole thing about the skinny guy and the woman making eyes at each other only served to remind me that I wasn't supposed to be paying attention to the music--but for what?Quote:

First of all...
Bjgevada! (that's the closest letter representation to the noise I made when I clicked on this link) You've got to warn people when you do that man, I almost fell out of my computer chair.Quote:

This isn't my usual style of music, but I like it and I thought that The Comedian could use someone else posting country songs. This one is from my area, I live in the Yellowhead region. It's about the wolf relocation from a couple of years ago but from the wolves' point of view which is kinda neat.

I'm afraid that I slid off my chair and under the desk, giggling. It's impossible to satirise stuff like that - you can't fake such firm-jawed sincerity. 1/10
I've always had a soft spot for these two that I find quite difficult to justify...
D'aww, you didn't think my country song was cute?Quote:

Is that what you bopped to at the discotheque?
Sent chills up and down my woggly spine
Keeping with the seventies era theme, these were irresistably weird:

Not my thing at all. 1/10
This video is heavy metal classis in every possible sense of the word:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYFjG...C934204B798739
Tiresome. 1/10
Incomprehensible proverbs.
Incomprehensible, indeed. 1/10.
This song describes so many, many people.
Never seen the video for that one. The video was awful, but the song is a classic. 8/10
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eviEpg7GYEE
I always take a few rotten tomatoes for this but. . .Pink Floyd -- not that thrilling for me, honestly.: 3/10
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smplqf0FYCk
Horrible butchering of a comedy clasicc. Yakety Sax is NOT funny unless played by horns and accompanied by a sped up video. 2/10
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gX6jirCykI0
It's Dream Theater, so 8/10. I didn't even know they put out a CD in 2009. Definitely going to have to pick it up. Looks like Portnoy's sported a much smaller kit for that album. It will be interesting to see who DT replaces him with, too.
Still very progressive, but a tad more brutal. (If you don't end up rating this one, metal143, I'd still like to hear your thoughts.)
I don't know what it's progressing towards, but I'm pretty sure I don't want to arrive there. 1/10
The Last Shadow Puppets, not progressing - in fact, sort of regressing. But I like where they're on their way back to.
Not too shabby. 7/10
As far as Vortux Obnivium, pretty good. Not a big fan of that vocal style, but the music's good enough that I can live with it.

I've recently formed a soft spot for the shrimpy fellow. 7/10.
Ever since seeing the (disappointing) Black Swan, this has been stuck in my head. It can stay there for as long as it wants.
For me, the nostalgic associations of Swan Lake are such that I can't award less than 10, although that does give the impression that I know enough about classical music for my opinion to be taken seriously, which I obviously don't. 10/10
At what you might call the other end of the universe, here's the best r'n'b band the UK ever produced. (And I'm using r'n'b in the twelve-bar sense, rather than the gold front tooth sense.)
