Thread: The Music Thread!

Title says it all; post whatever music that you're into, and perhaps throw in a few links with some of your favourite tracks, and perhaps explain why you like them so much (hopefully i didn't just start a war).

I'll start out with rap! I know this probably isn't the typical "LotRO kind of music!", but we're all different
I'll throw in this track of a friend i that we recently made. It's a bit sad, but it's not the usual kind of "cuss rap"

I like music of all genres. I don't know where to begin but I bought this in 1986 when it first came out. No one really knew about this guy, little radio play, so it was only me listening to it. So it's like my own little secret.

Goodness. I'll have to come back to this one later. Too much to say while at work and I'll need some youtube examples. lol

Great idea.

this song is old now, but it's just as cool as it was the day it was recorded

S.N.F.U., Painful Reminder





The young boy has fallen in love
With his homeroom teacher
He has fallen in love


It happens everyday
In schools throughout the city
Throughout the city


She was married, he did learn
And inside he did burn
Deep inside he burned


He vowed that never again
Would he open his heart
Open up his heart


And to serve as a reminder
He painted her a picture
This painful reminder
And he keeps it in his binder
This painful reminder


The next day in his art class
He drew a picture of her
A picture's worth a thousand words
Even those left unsaid
Those best left unsaid


Now he walks the halls alone
And it is for the better
Alone...alone...alone


And he vowed that never again
Would he open his heart
Oh no! never again!


And to serve as a reminder...

Justin Beiber fans and emo types might want to run away and cry in a corner right now.

I have been obsessed with Walk Around the Earth's one-guitar interpretation of Somebody That I Used to Know:

How on earth do you embed a YouTube video in BBCode?

Pretty easy really. Just click the 'insert video' button(looks like a bit of film) and paste in the URL.


Like so.

Here's one I like.

I haven't seen that Nuclear Assault cover in years! I will see you your metal, and raise you some of my own

Lit is my long-time favorite band and they are just about to put out a new album.

They're streaming it a day ahead over at AOL Music.

Tell me what you guys think I'm very excited about this! Been waiting for 8 years for some new music from these guys (last record dates from 2004, after which they went through some personal tragedies).

This song!



And of of my most fav bands

Here another

I'm usually a big metal head/rock,the stones,animals,the usual...

Strangely though,i've been listening to anything by Zola Jesus lately,big fan of hers,maybe because she's so different to what i'm used too.

I've lately been on a Yuki Kajiura kick. I particularly like her compositions that combine rock style with instruments like violin and chimes.

One of my favorites Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner- Think this was last appearance on Letterman before he passed away. Everyone knows Werewolves of London so i threw this one out there.

Dublin Blues - Guy Clark

The Final Countdown- Europe I/ve loved the song for years then I saw the hair dos.... still like the song.

Life in Wartime- The Talking Heads
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzORu1dqEE0


Figure thats enough for now.

This song is one of my fav's by the Cure

The 80's were so amazing for music.



Charlotte Sometimes, by R. Smith


All the faces
All the voices blur
Change to one face
Change to one voice
Prepare yourself for bed
The light is bright
And glares on white walls
All the sounds of
Charlotte sometimes
Into the night with
Charlotte sometimes
Night after night she lay alone in bed
Her eyes so open to the dark
The streets all looked so strange
They seemed so far away
But Charlotte did not cry


The people seemed so close
Playing expressionless games
The people seemed
So close
So many
Other names...


Sometimes I'm dreaming
Where all the other people dance
Sometimes I'm dreaming
Charlotte sometimes
Sometimes I'm dreaming
Expressionless the trance
Sometimes I'm dreaming
So many different names
Sometimes I'm dreaming
The sounds all stay the same
Sometimes I'm dreaming
She hopes to open shadowed eyes
On a different world
Come to me
Scared princess
Charlotte sometimes


On that bleak track
(See the sun is gone again)
The tears were pouring down her face
She was crying and crying for a girl
Who died so many years before...


Sometimes I dream
Where all the other people dance
Sometimes I dream
Charlotte sometimes
Sometimes I dream
The sounds all stay the same
Sometimes I'm dreaming
So many different names
Sometimes I dream
Sometimes I dream...


Charlotte sometimes crying for herself
Charlotte sometimes dreams a wall around herself
But it's always with love
With so much love it looks like
Everything else
Of Charlotte sometimes
So far away
Glass sealed and pretty
Charlotte sometimes

My music tastes are wide, but I will introduce only few of the genres I like.
What music I despise? It would be:
- rap;
- pop (with some small exceptions eg. Robbie Williams and early Kylie Minogue, not the &&&& they feed us now as if we were brainless);
- techno;
- reggae, dance, trance, house, dubstep, screamo, some metal sub-genres, christian music (lol), and many more...
But let's focus on what I love. For now, it will be just four genres:

Rock - and its various sub-genres. I'm into classic rock eg. Led Zeppelin and The Doors, but I'm also into Evanescence, MM and 69 Eyes (goth genres).

And example of Goth Rock:



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Metal - in various forms of course. Among these are Thrash Metal, Heavy Metal, Groove Metal and even Death Metal. I'm into classic metal eg. Metallica and Iron Maiden, but I cherish modern metal music as well. Among the modern bands are 2cents, All That Remains, Devildriver, Slipknot and many more.

- Two examples of Death Metal:



All That Remains - This Calling http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raRHUG0PkQU

- And here's a piece of Heavy/Groove Metal:

Five Finger Death Punch - Never Enough http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dn3wM6Rxpik

- And one example of Heavy Metal at its finest:

2cents - The Distance Travelled - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAY3ajyb0k4

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aggrotech/TBM/Dark Electro - those genres are usually mixed together into one. I'm new into this music so I will give an example of only one band there - Combichrist.



Combichrist - I'm Happy Anyway http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9e9MM2EfWYM

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Folk (Death)Metal - Can't describe my love for this genre. Ever thought of a combination of Death Metal with flutes, bagpipes, violins? My words may not sound so good... the music does.



Eluveitie - A Rose for Epona http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtMG9VDMk70

Jethro Tull. Ian Anderson baby! YEAH!

Hawkwind - World Of Tiers

Love Heavy Metal and Rock. Favorite bands: ♥Metallica♥, Iron Maiden, Volbeat, Rage...

One of my "Alltimefavoritesongs" (no, I won't post another 'tallica or Maiden vid in this thread ):



Love the "you can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave" passage...


Edit: came back to share Volbeat with you:
