[Mutatis-Mutandis]

Not surprised, mostly because I've heard every Beatles song, I wouldn't call it metal though, it's hard-rock and pretty heavily influenced by The Who.

Low, driving bass line. Pounding drums. Heavy, distorted guitars. Yelling vocals. Trust me, it's metal. The Who was a heavy influence on metal, also.

This one comes to you from Turkey:

I can't say I necessarily enjoyed it. But, I usually find music from other cultures very interesting, and this was no exception. And I really liked the trippy video. 6/10.

Back to my roots.

It's alright, 6/10

I'm not sure I can forgive them for what happened to the Stanley Cup in Dallas, tsk tsk.

2/10 Just not my type of music.

Next, The Wicked End by A7x. Anything less than a 8/10 and I curse you to 10 years bad literature

I guess I'm cursed. 2/10

Man, what a voice. 9/10

OrphanPip, the gentleman starring in that Of Montreal video is Josh McKay. I used to live down the street from him. For a brief time, he and I fancied the same girl--who, as it turned out, fancied Josh's brother Misch.

Josh and Misch were in a band called Macha. Their musical style was...unique:

Not one I would listen to regularly, but nice. Great mesh of two different styles.

8/10. Funny song.

But, for my money, when it comes to comedy in music, nothing beats Frank Zappa. Add to that he was a musical genius, and you have a man as yet unequaled.

Punky, Punky, give me your lips to die on . . . I promise not to come in your mouth!

4/10

Sorry, I just do not get his genius. I will listen to more. So really, its a 4 with a promise of more attention.

It really helps not to listen too closely to Led Zeppelin's lyrics, but as a purveyors of impressive, operatic bombast, they're difficult to beat - when you're in the mood.

Then again, ambivalent though I am about the music, if I could have had anyone's life in the Seventies, it would have been Robert Plant's. 7/10

Meanwhile, at the other end of the spectrum of artistic intention, meet my relations, all of them grinning like facepacks.

5/10 it made me nervous

Not bad. 6/10.

Love this song.

Mike Patton is a genius, but this particular song does little for me. 6/10

I have long contemplated posting the following video in this thread, but my better sense has always prevailed.....until now.

LOVED IT. I've always intended to check out Mr. Bungle, but this is the first song I've heard by them. I loved it. Probably going to get the album now. 10/10.

Avant-garde metal. Makes Mr. Bungle look like formulaic pop when it comes to weirdness.

[Paulclem]

I get the impression they're trying to be wierd and the result is a mish mash. 1/10

Do you like jazz Mutatis? A lot of the stuff you've posted seems to be jazz/ rock. I don't know if such a distinction exists, but that's what it reminds me of. It would explain my aversion - I'm ... not keen on jazz.

This Guy's voice is brilliant - and his suit is pretty good too.

I like the original version too. Catchy - I just need to make sure I don't sing it in the office...

[Mutatis-Mutandis]

I would have given that song a 6/10 the first time I heard it, but I'm so ****ing sick of it I can't give it higher than a 2/10.

Yeah, I love jazz. I love chaotic, intricate, complicate music. Really, anything that is challenging to listen to. There is a limit, though . . .

Like this. Though, I do love DEP's later work.
