Forced Listening Thread(One for the History of Rock forum)

[JukeBoxHero]

I thought this would be a cool thread here after afterstasis posted the idea for a thread here.


Simple Rules

1.Comment on video above from the previous poster, give a little bit of thought when you put down the comment.

2.After your comment put of one video for the next poster to comment on.


I'll start by posting this...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6n8-b7uk9E

[a21schizoidman]

awesome track, love that chorus, lol

here's some Italian prog for everyone!

E Festa by PFM
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNc8spdFZ5E&feature=related

[Hungryfreak]

Haven't heard many Italian bands before. The synthesizers reminded me a bit of Rush. Pretty cool composition. Really did well in changing the flow in some sections quickly, yet smoothly. I love the drum solo towards the end. You never see too many of them, unfortunately.

I love the look of that Violin, too, haha.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qz4TkW7Q_GE

[Quinarvy]

That was def. weird...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UarOHFSHfo

Friends solo project....he's a better drum programmer then I :D

[Gargoyle2500]

That song reminded me of Nine Inch Nails songs. It's that good. I wouldn't be surprised if Trent Reznor covers it if he ever hears it!

I posted a topic like this a few days ago but nobody went for it. It was "Songs you're annoyed that nobody knows about" And, last time I checked, it had 0 replies.

So here is one of my favorites by Ted Mulry Gang.. Heart Of Stone.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmzMdTfr6eA

Fact: Ted Mulry Gang made the song Jump In My Car, Which David Hasselhoff covered about 31 years later.

[NX013]

Cool song, they remind me of the eagles. Cool rythym guitar sound, the duo lead part in the solo reminds me of something from Hotel California.

Song from Phil Collins genesis, I put this one because msot people hate the Phil Collins era, but this song is just as good as the Gabriel era

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xp5AgsfXx-I

[The_Little_Buster]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6QnK0yql8s

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBRNexKb-Cg

[afterstasis]

i really like this song. i've checked out some TMG in the past, but this is the only one i've found that i can dig. the song has a real good vibe for driving the interstate at night...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FR45WPnM3qU
talk talk - eden (you'll probably want to turn your volume up a bit)

EDIT: sorry, i was slow on the draw i guess...
i watched your genesis video, NX013. i definitely prefer gabriel era over that, but it's not bad. it sorta feels like it drags on a little too long for me. i dunno...
i'm not gonna watch the dude's vids who didn't leave a comment for the previous poster... that's not how it works, dude.

[NX013]

@ buster, whats your opinion on the genesis song

And Ill do mine on the last two vids:

Stone roses: I really like these guys, there debut album should be on RB. Kinda pissed GH is getting Love Spreads. ANyways this song is really good live, and the jam is awesome.

Talk Talk - wierd song, very world music sounding. Guitar is good, though the song is odd, its mellow, but has an odd tone to it, so tis nothing that can pump someone up, but its nothing to listen to when relaxing.

whew


How soon is now

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2NrIALcNOw

[Hungryfreak]

Pretty cool sound to the song, but I think it overstayed its welcome a bit. It could have used a bit more variation.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Qi55brVbnQ

[The_Little_Buster]

The Genesis song is interesting, it sounds like a combination of a Beatles song with a bit of hinting and prelude to Collins' solo work.

And How Soon Is Now is fricken classic, I love the delay that Johnny uses for the main riff, I'd love to see this song in either RB or GH (though repetition may get in the way despite how awesome the 6-minute version is, though I think The Queen Is Dead would also be an awesome band song as well.)

Then the song Hungryfreak posted was very intense, seriously those drums would be insane and crazy in RB or GH.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEqSiIMMjeI

(this song is "Patricia" by the pillows)

[Quinarvy]

I like it...made me think of Japan-Country-Pop-Happy...is it a Japanese song?

Underrated GNR Song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6sjkNaghnQ

[The_Little_Buster]

Yeah it's a Japanese Rock Band, though at the time that song was recorded their sound was very akin to Oasis and Brit-pop so if you're familiar with Oasis' song "She's Electric" you'll get where they're coming from.

And wow that's actually one of my fave GNR songs, glad to see other people like it too.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ox4K-OCyHck

(this song is called "Ibara no Namida" and is by L'Arc~en~Ciel)

[Rockbandfan23467]

One of the most Badass songs ever.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oLZQWXNyUQ

Cavenmen Rejoice-The Bags
Any response?

[afterstasis]

EDIT: this is in response to buster.
though i thought the pillows song you posted earlier was alright, i can't get into this one at all. for one, i really don't like the vocals. i like lots of japanese singers, but not this one. it feels like it's missing something in the instrumenation department as well.
overall, it kinda felt like a poor attempt at replicating radiohead's "street spirit" for me.

EDIT reply to rockbandfan: i couldn't get into this song. it's mostly the vocals. the instrumentation doesn't offend, but doesn't take me anywhere.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tkKRqKp9Gw
burzum - dunkelheit

[The_Little_Buster]

^The song you posted reminded me a lot of Dinosaur Jr and Sonic Youth with maybe a smidge of My Bloody Valentine due to the distortion and progression of the song and rather detached vocals. Great stuff.

And it's understandable with L'Arc~en~Ciel (their music is mainly geared towards the pop-rock side and rarely do something that is that dynamic and not a ballad) and also it's because that they are a pop-rock band that their singer generally tries being very grandiose with his singing. Though I never really would have thought of looking at the song as a form of Street Spirit so grats on seeing that connection.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p02-YL7ag6c&feature=user

(this song is called "FLAKE" and is by ZEPPET STORE)

[Schmeal]

Here are three bands that I have been listening to lately that people should check out. I'm not 100% sure how to classify them so I'll say that they can all be calssified as awesome.

Novembers Doom
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viwoRU1egmY

Pokadot Cadaver
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V06jHcNDyZs

Stolen Babies
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F05klUpUAjg&feature=related

[Gargoyle2500]

Schmeal: You are only allowed to post one video at a time and you have to comment on the video posted by the previous poster.

Little Buster: I enjoyed the intro and am trying to think of what music the song reminds me of, But I can't think of a influence.. Yes, I listened to the whole song.

Tearin' Out My Heart by The Heroes (Australian band)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bm9qJl2f2hE

Facts: This band was the last to play in The Star Hotel as a riot occurred outside due to news of the pub's closure.. For good. Also, the members (minus the singer) were in a band that featured AC/DC's first singer, Dave Evans.

[NX013]

Very wussy pop sounding, I like the chorus and the solo is awesome, though the lyrics are too weak for me.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtMm0lfUMCY

pretenders, tattoed love boys

[Quinarvy]

Kinda liked the surfy guitar, but then the drums were like, rapid fire :D.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edaJP3Lp0Gg

Everyone loves this song :D

[NX013]

I was wondering when this would get posted.

THE GODLYEST SONG EVER, this song outbeats every song left. /sarcasm

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7GUENEzlls

Old Days - Chicago


I just discovered this song off Pandora

[afterstasis]

i'm not a big chicago fan, but this is a pretty awesome tune... i love the horns and strings, especially. the heavier guitar sections sound pretty awesome and the drumming's good too.
chicago has impressed me.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kyOuAoBfE0
sun ra - nuclear war

[defenestrater]

I love that song Afterstasis, and I love the Yo La Tengo version almost as much. :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNqwRJJKfx8

[Onslaught_fei]

I love that song Afterstasis, and I love the Yo La Tengo version almost as much. :D

Wow its funny to hear the kids yell the swearing words. Interesting synthed up groove, Im assuming.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRP6iMZ1Pic
Warbringer - Combat Shock

I love how the drums sound like heavy guns and artillery and sustained guitar notes sound like bombs dropping.

[Mystlyfe77]

I love the modern old-school thrash rebirth. Great song, the Evile before Evile.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acc8HrxzXW0
I'm a sucker for this song (especially the bassline) even though I'm not a big Nü Metal fan.

[NX013]

the bassline is decent, but I cannot tand the vocals at all.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qabCFbC-y8I

Iron Maiden's cover of Cross Eyed Mary

[afterstasis]

i dig this cover. i'm not the biggest jethro tull fan, but i think this is a pretty good song of his done even better by a great band in their prime.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7offwga8Wy4
iannis xenakis's "psappha" performed by augusto moralez

[idiotec]

Kind of cool for the first minute or two :eek:

A 90's band that never got the credit they deserved. Brilliant.

Failure - Smoking Umbrellas

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZ-W0Ze-T9U

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

I really like that. However I can see why that wouldn't be noticed in the nineties as it's really similar to most pop rock songs from then.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7NP47UKeRE

Unreleased Led Zeppelin song called "Swan Song."

[idiotec]

Cool, I have heard that before, good song.

Here is a cool acoustic solo version of Paranoid Android.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2zwKH4g2xE&feature=related

[Runesmith]

Thom's voice sounds really powerful in a live setting. It's a shame the crowd noises sometimes overpowered the music, though...I would've liked to have seen a professional quality version of that particular concert.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQQmAP9Poo4
Placebo's Pure Morning. Love the drum tone.

[mysticneji]

^ wow, that was a pretty awesome song. I only knew one Placebo song before this. Kinda got a little repetitive though after awhile.

Here's a band I've posted a lot of songs to from the other Forced Listening Thread in the General forum.

Y&T - Forever

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Po-42c8AzGc

[Edgehead]

In light of Devo's entry into Rock Band, I present the best Devo track. Also I recommend watching the video too, its pretty amazing. Note the sarcastic overtones.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3MxuDk7wqo

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

Just paste the URL. No tags.

[Onslaught_fei]

In light of Devo's entry into Rock Band, I present the best Devo track. Also I recommend watching the video too, its pretty amazing. Note the sarcastic overtones.

So is the video the actual music video Devo choose or what? Interesting. I love the upbeat tone of everything from the vocals to the keyboards. The light-heartened wholesome narrative of the instrumentals takes a dark turn there midway with the "FOR YOU". I liked it, especially with the pictures to associate with the music itself. I also like that, in spite of this, the melody and rhythm still keep their comical upbeat feel, relentlessly, to the very end of the song, despite the deceptive lyrical content.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEP3TClmGDs
This is one of my favorite bands of all time performing my favorite song of all time: Soldier of Fortune. I love how the guitar sends so much emotion, especially the solo.

[afterstasis]

this is the first time i've completely enjoyed opeth. apparently i need to seek out more of opeth doing covers, because this is really good...
lovely organ haunting the whole song, coupled with the gorgeous guitar leads, really makes this song for me. his voice isn't quite as strong as the original, but it still sounds great.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZhiOr56ouU
lansing-dreiden - a line you can cross

Yeah it is the official video. I find it amazing how the entire complexion of the song is morphed by the addition of two simple words. Its incredible how the song can mean the complete opposite of what you were thinking when he throws the "For You" in there.

[Gargoyle2500]

afterstasis: I enjoyed that song. I can't describe what exactly I liked about it, The organ in the background always kept it going and the vocals, Going from distorted and a bit creepy to a relieving clear voice enhanced the overall mood of the song.

The song I'm posting is "Computer One" by Dear Enemy. This song is reportedly still played on radio and I heard it appears on 80s compilation albums.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkkO2TRWU58&fmt=18

Fact: This is an 80s Australian band called Dear Enemy. Do not confuse this band with a newer band of the same name.

You listen to the song posted above, comment on it (likes/dislikes/etc) and then post a song yourself.

Kick ass marching band BTW :p

I am repeating some I posted in the General forum but oh well....

One of my favorites:

Bauhaus - In the Flat Field

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pR7_9mLOM4

[BhindBluEyes430]

reminded me of the Dead kennedys live vids. Alright song dident like the vocals too much tho

plug in baby-Muse

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99I7gpswhQ4

[Mystlyfe77]

A nice live version of one of my favorite tracks from Origins. But I'm starting to get kinda tired of Muse, especially with BH&R getting constant airplay. They're a bit overrated, over-hyped, and a lot of their songs sound very similar. Don't get me wrong, they're good, but their 15 minutes of fame needs to end.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmXMJjqQPPo

[BhindBluEyes430]

no offense but I cant stand the tone of MIDI created sounds.

im bored so im posting another

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slXcHNHEOqg&feature=related

[afterstasis]

i saw these guys live a pretty long time ago opening for vue in atlanta. they were so much different then, and i've gotta say i prefer their older sound...
this song wasn't bad, but i had trouble keeping my attention focused on it. it never grabbed me. i think it was mostly the vocals that turned me off.

[Edgehead]

That song was really cool, im gonna download it

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wr9Mh1EpQnc

[Onslaught_fei]

^ That was the most terrible thing I've ever heard. Having said that I think it was the intention of the song. Bad production, laughable lyrics, terrible drum loop, and the most nerdiest voice I've ever heard. But, again, I suppose that was the intention.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpDo0BdC2SU
My forced listening submission: Finntroll.

While Norway took black metal to a new level and Sweden took death metal on a new tangent... Finland has pioneered a new kind of authentic metal that every metalhead seems to love.

[elfreako]

Oh! This is going to be my new favourite thread. Can I play?

Hahaha, I'm speechless. I'm sure you'll forgive me if I call it a bit gimmicky, but it's most certainly interesting, and definitely amusing. Something I'd love to come accross walking around at a music festival :-)

And now in a completly different style

semi famous local boys...

http://youtube.com/watch?v=2shLapSNr0U

[afterstasis]

i've only heard a few songs from these guys, but this is the first one i've enjoyed. i may have to check out this album, because i've only heard stuff from the first one.
it makes me think of a combination of bruce springsteen's "the river", crooked fingers, and carissa's wierd.
it does start to drag around the 7 minute mark. the part that comes after the brief pause isn't as strong as the first 5 minutes and has trouble developing in my opinion, but it's still alright sounding. overall a good song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHD6UV09pcI
Koenjihyakkei - Rattims Friezz

[idiotec]

Very interesting....

Fiona Apple - Extraordinary Machine (Live)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_A2gor-sbFU

[Rockin_it_all_nite_long]

Not sure about that one man, it didn't really have much to it. The singer was kinda boring to me as well.

That sounds very happy but I felt weird having Spongebob stare at me for as long as the song went on.. :eek:

I'm annoyed that no one listened to the song I posted on the last page due to someone not reading the OP, So I'm posting it AGAIN!

Computer One - Dear Enemy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkkO2TRWU58

This is not the metal band "Dear Enemy"

[afterstasis]

it would be cool if people wrote more than one generic line about other people's videos. this thread, thus far, is probably actually generating less actual discussion than the polls that everyone was complaining about...
i thought about making a thread specifically for people who are going to put a little more effort into their posts, but it would be great if we could just maybe turn this one around a bit...

i really dug this song, gargoyle. i'm a big fan of 80's synthpop and this is quality stuff. i'm not sure i've ever heard it before, though it's one of those songs that halfway through it already feels somewhat familiar.
the guy's voice sounds a bit weak at times, but i think that actually has a tendency to improve songs like this. i think it brings that extra touch of humanity to a synthesizer-heavy style.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IF5e25LyCUA
Mountain Goats - Song For An Old Friend (live courtesy of... AOL?!)

[Runesmith]

I can't think of any other way to say this: he really gets into the song. Well-written lyrics (from what I could interpret) and I love his unorthodox voice, too; kind of reminds me of John Linnell from They Might Be Giants. Do you know if there is an MP3 version of this performance?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pen4dMAv7zY
Alan Parsons Project - I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You (the song actually starts at 0:48 if you don't want to wade through the video's silent intro)

[JukeBoxHero]

I'm not quite sure if I have or haven't heard that song before. The song has a nice groove and I really like the vocals. It sounds like the vocalist is really drive emotion into the song. Nice song choice Runesmith.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbSWzK4nKQA

Rush-La Ville Strangiato

[CML207]

2 songs...
Band: Black Stone Cherry
1st song: Lonely Train...Off their self-titled album
2nd song: Blind Man...Off their new album "Folklore and Superstition"

I think the band has a very nice sound...Most newer bands dont do anything for me, but these guys have released exactly 30 songs, and I am a fan of all 30...Hope you guys enjoy...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omo-fwok15E



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wmr8D3JBsvg&feature=user

[afterstasis]

i'm skipping the dude who doesn't know how this thread works and didn't say a thing about the previous video...
it might be a good idea to post some simple rules in the first post, jukeboxhero...

i really like rush's "hemisphere" album, though this song has always bugged me a bit. i really enjoy the beginning, but as the song gets more tense towards the end i can't help but begin to lose interest... i'm definitely all for long instrumentals, but this one fails to really hold my attention all the way through.
as for this specific live version, the intro is my favorite part due to the "dreamy" sound they achieved. i would have loved for them to have followed that theme more closely.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCxw52iNq0E
Ride - Nowhere (live in 1992)

[mysticneji]

^ Wow, that song was pretty awesome. . . . . yea, that's pretty much it. I'm no good at breaking everything down. Sorry.

Y&T - Hard Times

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zWdu_lwBeE

^ Not bad, not something I would seek out myself, but definitely something I wouldn't mind seeing in RB as your sig suggests :P

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuLr0B-EEcs

Colonel Calypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains - Buckethead

[Mystlyfe77]

Love that song. All the members are great on their instruments. C2B3 is terrific.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmuDxJjHcaY&feature=related
Saviours - Cavern of Mind (Live)

[mysticneji]

^ The only thing I didn't like about that song was that you could hardly here the vocals. Maybe it's just me but I could barely make them out. Other then that it was pretty good.

Last video I'm doing for these guys. And the only reason I'm posting this one is because last time I did, the guy after me didn't say anything about it.

Y&T - Forever (live)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Po-42c8AzGc

Next video will be from a different band I swear!! lol.

[idiotec]

There is just nothing that makes that stand out IMO. Decent, but the vocals are weak, and the music is average.

Something different....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfmLhRzgVMU

[elfreako]

For once I get a chance to post right after you do. We seem to have similar tastes from what I can see (feeling lonely amongst the metalheads :-)). Unfortunatly this last one didn't really cut it for me. The melodic voice is attrocious, but hat's minor. To me the main "singer" has way too much of an american rapper style, and it just bugs me for the duration of the song. I really like the dirty backbeat atmosphere though, even if it didn't hook me enough for a second listen.

Now since we've touched trip-hop

http://youtube.com/watch?v=sO9UhxR29m8
Muggs - Dead Flowers

[mysticneji]

^ The beat was pretty good in that song but the soft vocals didn't really do anything for me. The beginning kinda reminded of NIN though.

Sanctity - Zeppo

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPMRJeYGQXU

Told you it would be a different band this time, :D

[Onslaught_fei]

Sanctity - Zeppo

Not bad, not bad. Doesnt particularly grab me by the balls too much but it interests me enough. The main riffs are very stale to me. The harmonized, yet aggressive vocals are great and carry the melody while the riffs just chug. The solo was good and the drumming was pretty adequate. I give it a B... maybe B-. Very nice!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InOmV_ih3vs

In Flames - Dialogue with the stars.

[idiotec]

^ Hey, at least there were no crappy vocals to deal with on that one! :p They seem fine for what they do, but not my style.


feeling lonely amongst the metalheads :-)
I know what you mean, one after another!!! ;)

I listened to yours too. Good stuff, kind of a Massive Attack meets the Chemical Brothers.


MORPHINE - Honey White

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXnGxASoXn0&feature=related

[Insane3]

Cool song! I liked the vocals they are not actually impressive in the technical sense, but it just sounds cool.
This song would fit perfectly in a Quentin Tarantino movie.

For the Love of God live in Holland
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IrWyZ0KZuk
(The end is too long. Much too long. But overall it's good)

[mysticneji]

^ That just sounds very peaceful. Something I should probably listen to when I'm angry or stressed out from work.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHDvhzFN674

Enjoy

[Hungryfreak]

A fun little tune, reminiscent of some of the hair metal. Definitely a surprise, seeing as it's Michael Bolton. I do like his voice on this song. There was even a fun little guitar solo, though I found it undermined by being layered below the main riff. Some bands can pull that off well (check out some of the solos on Sleep's Holy Mountain), but it didn't work here, in my opinion. And, a fadeout... Almost expected, but still disappointing. It was an okay song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpkvY_Y4jno

[afterstasis]

this was probably my favorite song from a pretty solid album. i hadn't heard this since around the time it came out so it was a nice little blast from the past (well, 4 or 5 years ago). i think the last half of the song is by far the coolest part.
good pick, hungryfreak!

Kamelot - Descent of the Archangel

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1XOHeeerJc

[Runesmith]

I think the only thing I wasn't too crazy about were the vocals. To me, it sounded like the singer was trying too hard to give the song an epic feel, even though the instruments and the lyrics were definately expansive enough. The instrumentation was top-notch, and I think the synthesizer/keyboard intro was my favorite part, musically speaking. The intro reminded me of something I'd hear from a good j-pop song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMe15tWC6gc
Hüsker Dü - Could You Be The One?

[Mystlyfe77]

Not really a fan of Hüsker Dü (or much early alternative), especially not the vocalist. In general the song is too repetitive for me as well.

Sorry about the fan-made video. Although I think the guy did an awesome job with it.

[afterstasis]

i'm afraid this song didn't do anything for me. though the vocalist obviously has a good voice, the music was extremely weak and bland.

andrew wk - never let down

[elfreako]

Hmmm, this is going to sound worst than what I actually think of it...

Alright first I find the core of the song interesting and full of potential. The guys is obviously talented.

I did find the melody to be way too poppy, or kiddish, and the lyrics need some serious work. That's very subjective of course. What I think is completly off with the song is how much it's over-produced. It sounds way too polished, and the repetitiveness of the song combined with the "epic" sound attempt is just anti-climatic, but in a bad way.

I wish it was grittier, with more dirty piano and less artifacts.

Now here comes 10 minutes of acquired taste. I give you the Fiery Furnaces - Blueberry Boat. I dare you to listen to it 3 times before passing judgement.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6fktHmQQlc

[Hungryfreak]

I only listened to it once, because I didn't need to acquire the taste. I loved the song for all of its quirky goodness. I'm usually not a fan of female vocals (I don't know, I just don't like how they sound for the most part. Don't murder me) but they worked perfectly in this song. They managed to be weird without being too gimmicky or anything. The sound varied enough to keep interest and they even managed to work some of the very abrupt changes well. I might actually look into this band out further.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4Ig_fhJ5r4

[afterstasis]

autopsy is one of my favorite death metal bands. not only did they combine a healthy dose of doom into their songs, but they were also kings at creating a filthy, unnerving atmosphere... the only death metal bands that seem to pull that off today are portal and coffins... bravo!

the wipers - mystery

[elfreako]

Man, and people keep claiming NIRVANA invented grunge. I have no idea how I could have missed out on these guys. This is right up my alley. You can hear so much in such a simple song. Pop, punk, new age (especially the volals), obviously grunge. Am I the only one that find they sound like a clean Pixies? I REALLY dig this, and I'll be looking more into them for sure.

Crap I enjoyed this so much I forgot to find something to post. I'll edit :-)

There. If the Furnaces didn't cause any commotion, then you can handle Deerhoof

http://youtube.com/watch?v=1rrnTDDhVnw

[afterstasis]

while i still think their shining moment was "reveille", deerhoof have definitely never failed to impress me...
any band that can pull off a mix of minimal pop and no wave skronk, yet keep it tame enough for indie rockers is definitely in control of their sound. thankfully, they have the vision to go along with the talent.

^^^ Metal's not really my thing mostly, so I wasn't a huge fan. It seems like much of the genre is macho-ly overdone. That said, I was able to stomach this ok. The guitar soloing was pretty impressive.

Crappy quality audio on the video
Anyone by Bring the War Home

[afterstasis]

i'm honestly pretty conflicted with this song.
at first, i was just kinda bored by it but as it went on i started warming up to it and then it seemed to develop into a pretty nice "modern rock meets the cure" part...
overall, it's not something i'd listen to on my own but if this song is any indication then perhaps these guys can introduce young folks to the cure kinda like interpol did with joy division.

As a big fan of simplicity and minimalism, I enjoyed the song. The vocals were my favorite part of the tune. I also liked the lyrics, partially because the short story the song was (probably?) based on was a favorite of mine in high school.

Non point-What A Day
http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8VRi9EJB2A

[thedoorsdk]

That genre isn't my thing, but even knowing as little about it as I do, the music sounded pretty generic for the most part. So was the video...slow-mo shots of individual crowd-members being affected by the music? Definitely haven't seen THAT before in a nu-metal video.
HOWEVER, I like that guy's voice quite a bit. It's fairly unique, and would sound great with something a little more bluesy.

Everclear - Heroin Girl

[Runesmith]

As a casual Everclear fan, I enjoyed Heroin Girl quite a bit. It's a lot punkier than most of their other songs I've heard (mostly from So Much For The Afterglow which I have on cassette somewhere 'round here), but that isn't a bad thing.

Here's a little bit of New Wave for the forum. Awesome drums, and a badass solo, to boot. Who knew the guitarist from Duran Duran could shred like that?

Nice. Some funk/soul/etc. would be a great addition to the RB catalogue.

However, whenever I see anything from Soul Train I can't help but think of the 'Soooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuul Mass Transit System' from The Simpsons.

Here's my contribution, Girlfriend Is Better by Talking Heads. This is taken from Stop Making Sense, a fantastically great concert film/album. This is the song where the legendary Big Suit is first worn.

The music itself wasn't bad, but the vocals... At first all I could do was chuckle, it's just silly. Call me square but I prefer singing, not yelling. Then what was up with that rap thing at the end? Reminds me of that banana song....

Beautiful. I love the world percussion and general atmosphere. I've actually never heard Massive Attack before. Thanks, I might look into them more eventually now. :)

Not really a fan of Modest Mouse but I enjoyed that song, the guitar tuning was weird though:

Not really my preferred style, but enjoyed it more then expected.

[Gowienczyk]

One of the better hard rock bands that still have that nu-metal aesthetic to them. But still nothing special. Never really caught me.

[Ellipsis]

^ Ah, Wanye Brady...Isn't he that guy who hosts that one crappy karaoke show on FOX? I kinda feel sorry for him. Anyway, the song's catchy and it's vastly superior to most R&B that gets airplay nowadays.

Burn My Shadow by UNKLE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvqpksYNvs8

[CycoMiko138]

Not bad, but it seemed like the video took precedence over the song.

Gary Wright and Wonderwheel w/George Harrison - Two-Faced Man (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WINycgPWDas&feature=related)

I am a fan of Rodridgo y Gabriela, but I've never seen videos of them performing live before. They sounded great in the video: the chemistry between the two of them really shines in a live setting. The band should definitely teach their cameraperson how to film a proper video, though. :p

KMFDM - A Drug Against War: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=855QLTV2Rj4

It's alright. It has energy, I like that, but the main beat gets too repetitive for me.

Heatseeker by Valient Thorr
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fl7nw9eW1ms

[idiotec]

That's actually not bad. Reminds me of older stuff from the late 80's, early 90's.

I may have posted these guys before, but if so it's been a while....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sq7ktceO1dg

[CycoMiko138]

Not bad. They sound like the missing link between Alice In Chains and Godsmack.
I wish it was a little more like the former and less like the latter, though.

Coroner - I Want You (She's So Heavy) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qamBmWt8Cwo) (Beatles cover)

[afterstasis]

this is quite possibly my favorite beatles cover. i love "mental vortex" and that's such a rewarding finale for the album.

comet gain - love without lies (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L36PwFX6U8U)

[zeldazeppelin]

It was really stange.I enjoyed it though.

Ark Storm- Symphony on Wings (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3V2YQVjyaww)

^ I don't like it, too corny for me; but then again, so is alot of the other power metal I've heard...oh well

Everything Goes Numb by Streetlight Manifesto
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XKs8TsY3XI

[TheClashTheClashTheClash]

I like it

OCD - The Compulsives (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNOdYoepveQ)

[theholytaco]

The vocals were a bit much for me. Otherwise it was good.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPWQQ0U6rJE

[Ellipsis]

^ I liked it to a degree. I mean, I don't really listen to that much folk, but I thought it was okay, just the song structure was a little too repetitive for my tastes. Actually, on second listen it reminds me of Hey There Delilah, which probably isn't a good thing...

The Reeling by Passion Pit
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naWBwGy_xok

[SG_Hitman]

It was quite catchy and I enjoyed the vocals too. Some of the electronic bits were a little too disco-sounding though, which I didn't like.

Dinosaur Jr. - I Don't Wanna Go There
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1FJ_ChQh9s

[CycoMiko138]

That was pretty freakin' sweet. I had no idea that they had a new album out, but J is sounding great. I wonder if the new album means we might see some DLC soon...

Masked Jackal - Coroner (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m55dcBIk_1k) good tech thrash by the "rush fof thrash"

[CycoMiko138]

Awesome, of course. I'd never heard the live version before. Thanks for that.

Baroness - Isak (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc_SEBcXs1o)

[LegendofRock3021]

Good song, I'm definitely going to look into Baroness, 8/10.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCFKR9cvvJA

[HeIsEdrid]

I'm not a huge metal fan, bu that song wasn't half bad. It wasn't enough to make me fall in love with a new kind of music, but it was four and a half minutes well spent.

EDIT: Dang ninja'd. let me listen to the above poster's song real quick.

Re-EDIT: Wow. my original comment can still apply, so there it stands.

88 Lines About 44 Women - The Nails (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_ITtKae130)

The video is pretty stupid, but the song is good.

[supernova1324]

That was awesome, I'll have to look up their stuff on last.fm.

The Dead Heart-Midnight Oil (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd_diPTrjpI)

EDIT: Ninja'd, replied to Legend of Rock's song.

[Gowienczyk]

Midnight Oil was always great, really. I love their singles and well non-singles. I need to recognize myself more of their body of work, however.

Myslovitz | Zgon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hJ_CJaf-uI)

[Ellipsis]

^^(Hels)The song had a very 80's sort of vibe to it, but it didn't have the big hooks or zany attitude that the synth-pop I like has to it. Also dragged out too long for me.

^(supernova) I like this better, it has a catchy chorus

Debonair by the Afghan Whigs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C26BI1kJdkk

[Gowienczyk]

Kind of noisy, hm... nice. I can dig this. I'll look into them.

Battles | Tonto (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LLAN29W-4w)

[Ellipsis]

All of the Battles I've heard thusfar has been ridiculously awesome, and this is no exception. Every member of the band is highly talented (especially the drummer...) and they show it without going into wankoff territory. All of the section changes flow together really well and as a whole it sounds fresh, which makes me like them very much. As for Zgon, it's also a good song, very catchy.

Tropical Iceland by the Fiery Furnaces
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEvLtTxakrQ

[CycoMiko138]

That was some strange pop which I actually liked quite a bit. Ditto on the Battles comment, as well.

Wuthering Heights | Demon Desire (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTzQdlT1dGc)

[Fizzeler]

No World Order.

I actually kinda assumed that interesting album art :D

[afterstasis]

i really can't put my finger on what sets them so far apart from the legions of similar bands i can't really stand, but wuthering heights manages to mix folk, prog, and power metal (all styles i'm not too easily impressed by) and still impress me.
great song, and my favorite from the band.

Comet Gain - You Can Hide Your Love Forever (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-sYNmqZaC8)

[CycoMiko138]

I'm not a huge fan of the indie genre, but that was okay. The guitar and lyrics made up for the irritating female backing vocals. I liked the fade-out solo at the end.

Gov't Mule - Like Flies (http://www.last.fm/music/Gov%27t+Mule/_/Like+Flies)

[Ellipsis]

^I love me some hard rock, and that was some really fine stuff right there. In particular, the riff and solos were both great.

He's Got The Power by The Exciters
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXyexKnUT64

[Gowienczyk]

Vinyl sounds a bit sharp, doesn't it? Can't say I really like the song, but I love the harmonies. Reminds me of a Ann-Margret tune but a bit sharper and higher pitched. Haha.

Ann-Margret | Oh, Lonesome Me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztu63LCYeeI)

[Ellipsis]

The harmornies worked, the guitar solo was good, but the way her voice inflected didn't work for me. IMO, she overemphasized alot of the vocal bends to try to emulate the country sound in the original (which I listened to for comparison and found much better than this version), but in the end it just sounded like she had one too many drinks before singing. This gets better after the guitar solo, and it sounds like she probably is a good singer, but overall I didn't feel the song.

Hunter by Portishead
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgGQBZjb5K4

[loljared]

The music feels like a lazy tide lapping against cold quiet shores; sedated and melancholic. I love how the hauntingly beautiful vocals add a very pleasantly pensive aural texture to the song. An awesome lullaby.

Now for something more upbeat
Phoenix - 1901 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBR_FVBED4w)

What are you trying to get a dislike comment on this. I'm rather indifferent on it. The music is very good and simple, the lyrics are catchy. It is a good song, it just isn't something I'd rush to put on my ipod.
