I'm sure Mark would've, but not this guy. Love the Tull. 9/10.
If only all metal bands could be this good live.

For the record, I rather like aspects of the Tull, and this song in particular. Anderson had a cohesive world view, something worthwhile to say and he could summon the wit to say it. He was a bit of a closet conservative, but only in that nostalgic, tweedy, salmon-rearing way that's pretty much self-contained. Worth more than a cursory listen up to, say, Heavy Horses.Originally Posted by Mutatis-Mutandi
As to the metal band, I thought it was a work of unparallelled genius - limpid in its relevance, quixotic in its wit, mercurial in its virtuosity and palatial in its porcupine. A veritable 10/10, and it pains me that logic prevents the award of a higher accolade.
Not a million miles from the Tull, here's that friend of Zeps and Floyds, the inimitable and doggedly British Mr Roy Harper, the only man in rock music ever to contract anthrax having given the kiss of life to an ailing ewe.

I really enjoyed that song: smart, funny, and lyrical. 9/10
Here's one from one of my favorite bands: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCP0G6z0aEo

Wait ... you liked the metal song? That's awesome!I'm just not used to that happening.
The hard rock and grunge bands of the 90s were my precursor to heavy metal, and I still love them. I long for the days when there was good rock'n'roll in popular music.
EDIT (sorry, Comedian, totally meant to actually give your song a rating and then forgot): Like I said, I loved the 90s rock'n'roll scene, but Blind Melon was never a band I got into, but not because I didn't like them, just because I never got around to them. I quite enjoyed that song, though. 8.5/10.
This was one of my favorites. Quite a sad tune when you realize what the lyrics are about.

...I hate to sneeze on your pizza, but I think he was referring to Roy Harper.Wait ... you liked the metal song? That's awesome!
Did you edit your post or something, Mark? Because I could've sworn your post said you'd let someone else rate the metal song..... I'm 99% sure I didn't imagine reading that. In any case, I sort of thought there was some sort of mistake with that rating.
Thanks for your 10/10, though. You were completely correct in your assessment, despite your esoteric use of adjectives.

Yeah, I edited. I got bored.
Aren't you going to rate The Comedian's offering before serving up pumpkin?
Remedied. I had such a strong intention of giving a rating I even remember doing such. Probably got caught up in finding my own song to post. Happens quite often.
I have soft spot for the Pumpkins, but that didn't touch it. 5/10
This is my favourite version of what has become a compulsively-covered song.
I like the KD Lang version better but this one isn't bad. 7.5/10

Hmm, kinda catchy. 6/10.
All right, really liking this song right now, and the video made it all the better:

Of course it didn't.
Well, the dancing made me laugh. A lot. What was with the headbanging? The songs was horrible, though, but for the laughing I'll give it 5/10.
I've had this song stuck in my head all day. Also, possibly the best technical drummer ever.

Ug, 1/10, I like that even less than I usual like your metal songs.
Hmm, here is a video from the early days of Canada's illustrious history of exporting banal pop artists to the USA. See, you guys should have seen Justin Bieber coming because we've done it before. We're pathological re-offenders.

Figured. Meshuggah is notoriously a-melodic and inaccessible, and are known for the driving rhythm that seems to pound into your skull. For most, it's quite unpleasant, but I love it. If one listens, though, you'll notice the drummer plays two distinct and separate beats throughout the same--quite impressive.
Sweet! Something else to blame Canada for! Not only can we blame you for Bieber, but the whole of ****ty child pop-stars. 2/10.
Stick with this one, it becomes more melodic and accessible as it goes along.
Having watched the video all the way through, I note that you're using 'accessible' here in its rarely employed sense of 'merely irritating'. 2/10
Here's Cale once more, covering another classic - and I have to say I prefer this to the original by a mile.
