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.

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

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.

Cavenmen Rejoice-The Bags
Any response?

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.

burzum - dunkelheit

^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.

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.

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)

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.

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