I don't like Iggy, though I (moderately) appreciate most of the stuff he did with the Stoogies.

I hate that song, a lot. 0/10
The band that shaped my childhood, which is probably why I'm often so depressing.
Well, I find The Smashing Pumkin to be rather average at what they do, and usually I think both the vocals and the guitar are rather flat... however, they're quite bizarre in some fun ways and I think this song had some nice parts. + the video was on acid.
6/10
Ok, might as well post one of my own favourites.
Mosquito Song - Queens of the Stone Age. Recommend listening through all of it:)
I dig that tune. 6/10
Here's one that I got on my mind: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrZ4sMRYimw&ob=av2e
The song was pretty ordinary, but I liked the video. 5/10
Who needs love when there's Southern Comfort?
I think I've posted that song before in this thread, maybe not though, I've posted a lot of Dresden Dolls and Amanda Palmer though. 8/10
I'm doing some housecleaning, so you all get to enjoy my housework music.

Yeah, it was through this thread I discovered Dresden Dolls, and subsequently developed a bit of a teen crush on Amanda.Quote:

The performance and the filming of it are both amazing. Everyone looks so great, the "choreography" is fantastic, and Byrne has taken absolute command in about as goofy a manner as can be imagined--doesn't even seem goofy. And the music matches perfectly--no surprise I loved the CD long before seeing the film. I think Byrne's sweating is understandable, but a jacket might be a good idea, for appearance's sake.Quote:

Anyhow, Amanda F. Palmer was mentioned, so that reminded me of the Dr. Who special that aired last Saturday, which featured her and another American Whovian named Reggie Watts, who she can be seen performing with somewhere on youtube, if you look for it. Here's an example of his work, if you aren't familiar:

Give that one a 6/10 but it's riding on the coattails of 'fun' mostly.
It reminds this reader of a similar video by Imogen Heap (don't know the artist at all but the video was cool):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25VGdNU3nrU
Amazing - and I've never heard of her. 10/10Quote:

Have no idea how to rate it. How can anyone enjoy classical music without context or understanding? This reader has never studied it. On a purely superficial level it's a pretty noise with a lot of voices and it's very subtle at parts. Is it something this reader would turn on at any point of his day? Maybe, if he were making a point of it, if he understood it.
On a purely superficial, unwashed masses kind of scale: 5/10- mostly based on the technical skill it must've taken to make it and somewhat on its pretty sound. It no other way does it speak to this reader.
It seems like a filthy thing to do, to post this song after the previous one. Non-sequitur completely.

Filthy = Norah? No it's a nice song. She's got a great voice. 8/10
Something different.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOz0tL6FhM0
sounds like something my dad would have listened to: 8/10
I'm all about this song right now:

Ehhh, that one missed this reader by a generation or two. 4/10.
But not every song can be cheese-free. Let's keep it going, 'till the sun goes down. Let's keep it goin'.

Best music video ever? :p
Not one of my favorites from Elton John - 4/10Quote:

4/10 for the gimmicky Beatles thing.
And here's some Bob Fosse

It is wonderfully cheesy. I've always liked it.
Now this is funny.
You betcha. From those brilliant, fantastic heroes Matt Stone and Trey Parker (whose babies I would have ASAP). 10/10
I forgot this band existed until I heard this song on the radio yesterday. I used to really dig it, and amazingly I think it's still good today.
That's one of my husband's ring tones. He's on call a lot, and he tries to pick something that will get his attention during that time so that he doesn't get in trouble at work. it is pretty funny - the first 10 or so times. I've probably heard "America....**** yeah" so many more times than a person ought to have to hear something like that.Quote:

(Incidentally, my 'not a bit funny' a couple of posts back was in response not to Hey Big Spender, but the previous thing. Pip got in there while I was typing.)
Blink 182...
Poppier than I expected, if a bit insubstantial (though the latter's not necessarily a corollary of the former). However, the video touched on my affection for Gothic architecture and Goth chicks. The inclusion of the raven might have been overegging it a tad. 5/10
Here's a great animation for a great piece of music.....
The animation is lovely (though Disney is essentially ripping off UPA's old animation style from the 50s and 60s, they are really good at appropriating anything and everything they can), and the music is irreproachable. 8/10Quote:

Downright creepy. I definitely got a shiver or five out of that which is impressive considering the simple art and music. I enjoyed the thoughts it produced so I'm going with a 6.

A bit wet. I prefer No Rain which is..er..less wet. 4/10
Here's one of my favourite modernish bands - with more than a little vaudeville about the music and a lot of entirely gratuitous burlesque in the video.
Love this song (and couple of others by The Fratellis): 9/10!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExTsO_q19II
Not bad. I'll go no further than that. 6/10Quote:

9/10 enjoyed that punchy little number.
Here's one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfRWT...eature=related
