'Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.' - Groucho Marx
That's a great song 9/10.
Pity about Marvin. He lived in Holland for a year or so as an ordinary person. A family supported him through his drug problems, but he returned to the US. He had more success with sexual healing, and then died in a shooting incident involving his Father. He had gone back to the celebrity lifestyle.

Love it. 8/10
But I'm in the mood for something slow, plaintive, and feminine.

I like Norah Jones, though I think she's a bit overrated. 6/10.
Evil.
To my surprise, I like it. Love the video. 8/10

It made me chuckle. I don't know if that's the intended response, but it wasn't one of displeasure, so 6/10.
Speed Incarnate.
As a display of technical proficiency, 10/10. As a song, it lacked a certain, er, je ne sais quoi. 2/10.

'Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.' - Groucho Marx
Agree completely. I'm not crazy about the song, but damn, George Kollias is a machine.
As for your song, it's alright. Never have been a huge fan of Peter Gabriel. All his songs are too repetitive for my taste. Leaving Genesis was the worst decision he ever made, in my opinion. 5/10.
Possibly my favorite instrumental ever.
Oh dear, no. That's horrible. It sounds like a truck-full of techno instruments going over a cliff. I could here Ginastera in there, but the original is so much better. 2/10.
How about something a little different?
"I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche
I can see why one wouldn't like the ELP version, but it isn't like they did it without Ginastera's approval--quite the opposite, actually. He liked it so much it made him cry; he said about it, "You have captured the essence of my music, and no one's ever done that before."
As to your song, it's okay. Never been a fan of choir music. 4/10
Here's the original.

Not a patch on the 3rd movement if you ask me. 5/10.

Nick Cave, the Ramones, Eels, Zappa - I don't necessarily like everything they do, but I'm glad someone's out there doing it. 6/10
Here's another I regard in the same way.
If that song is indicative of their oeuvre, I'd hazard that Van der Graaf Generator's fan base is comprised mainly of virgins and/or the band's close friends and family. 2/10.

On the whole, you're right. I seem to remember waking up one morning in the summer of 1977, surrounded by empty gin bottles and unfamiliar limbs, and thinking, "I'm not sure I like Van Der Graaf Generator quite as much as I did this time yesterday."
There are all sorts of ways in which bands can be overrated, but none ever did it as comprehensively as the Pistols. 3/10
Whenever one of those 'favourite albums' conversations comes up, I rapidly narrow it down to four or five, and this one always makes the final table.
