There's regularly posts about people liking certain music or trying new music, so I figured I'd make it a bit more fun and sociable.
Basically, I'm thinking that you post your favourite song (or similar) and the link/video or whatever if you're kind. Then the next person listens to this aforementioned song (or track!) and POLITELY says what they think and then post their favourite song for the next person.

So, my favourite song is Some Riot by Elbow. I utterly love this band and this is quite possibly the most beautiful song I've heard:




(Then the next person says what they thought of it, then posts their song for the next person to try).

Hope this works, have fun guys!

I believe this song stands for my submission and my comment on the OP's submission. Sorry, I have a severe mental allergy to "beautiful music".

@Warpcrafter: Great song. Love it.

My fav:

To Just Dave:

I must say that you sir have a excellent taste in music So on to the song. I liked the song very well, made me feel all relaxed.

My choice of song is The Chosen Ones by Dreamevil. the song besides from the obvious fils with energy, and a bit of something else I cant describe, I fine it very relaxing to listen to, hope you guys like it.

This has been one of my favourite songs for years.

Not my fav but I am really digging it these past few days. Thanks, 7chan!

Here one song that I like(I posted it several minutes ago on a another thread).


three more

Always loved this song. Slayer got me into metal 100%.

Awesome song.

Really loving Ayreon's music. Only band that I would consider buying every CD released for the sheer epicness of the finales. This song (The Sixth Extinction) is the finale from Ayreon's last rock opera, "01011001".

Oh, and the introduction to Arjen Anthony Lucassen's latest project, Guilt Machine, which is also suitably epic.

People have just started posting their favourite tracks/song (and lots of them), rather than commenting on others too, its a give and take relationship guys! please follow the intention of the thread

aaah! good to see someone liked it and that someone else actually listens to Elbow

And yeah, I expected that a lot of 'metal' (which I cant stand) would turn up...


@Locclo, it was quite good I though, nice mix of 2 genre's, I wouldnt buy it myself but I certainly wouldnt object to listening to it!

My next song as one of my fav's:

Good song Dave,always liked the Chilli peppers.

I dont have a "favorite" song..hell,I don't even have a favorite style..but here are some great tunes IMO.

Good stuff as usual, FITTZ! Your taste in music is so immaculate it's almost annoying!

@Lord-Loss - Kudos, awesome song. One of my favourites, in fact.

@Just Dave - I like Elbow too, mate. They live round the corner from me!



As for my choice, I'm going with a song that is currently on 'heavy rotation'.

This woman's voice wrenches my guts out:




Imagining her singing to a room full of Nazi officers in Paris blows my mind.

The sound of Doncaster...









Where's MGS?

Thank you,thank you...it's taken years of imersing myself into music to reach that level of annoying... .

I'm not that familar with Edith Piaf,IIRC one of her songs is playing in the background near the end of Saving private Ryan,but yes,she has an amazing voice,beautiful and sad at the same time...I'll definatley be looking for more.

The one and only.



Might go and see them in September... Yays!

@it: Nice one-alway liked Muse.

My favourite song ATM is Iron maidens fear of the dark. I don't know whether it would classify as metal, but i've always been a song rather than genre man.



I'm also a fan of Europe's the Final countdown, Muses' uprising (I get the feeling the grammers wrong here), as well as This fire burns by Killswatch engage:







And guilty pleasure:

One of my fave Chilli songs there Dave, nice one.

As to myself, not really got a outright fave, as songs I like change all the time, however there are songs I can always come back to and have never stopped loving, heres some I consider faves.

After a few days in the mountains I realized I had forgotten to post my all time favorite song. This song sends shivers down my spine, and makes me think of how much I love the mountains.

Ah, another thread where someone askes people to pick one thing and showing thier reading skills go on to post lots of that item instead.

Horse With No Name is a fantastic song with some great imagery and construction. It is an example of esoteric lyrics that don't mean anything specific but it feels like it does. It expresses something in words that can't be expressed with words.

While I could post a bunch of songs I'll try to stay with the spirit of the thread and just post one.

What great choices so far (well except some of the metal it was a bit generic)

@ Albatross, You win my choice for classiest selection! If I ever travel across the pond I will buy you a drink for posting that gem!


Here are my top picks from a variety of genres:


Minnie the Moocher, by Cab Calloway



Zina Marina, by Golgol Bordello
I love this song, its such an upbeat party song but when you listen to the lyrics you realize its incredibly sad since its about human trafficking in his native Ukraine.




I really like celtic rock too, but most of the bands I listen to are local, hence there're are only live tracks available, so here is one of the best quality songs songs I could find. (not my favorite of there songs but good none the less, this one is about a friend of theirs that got stabbed to death outside a bar he was playing at.)

The Death of Johnny Mooring, by Enter the Haggis


Cold December, Matt Costa

@clthomps - Hey, cheers man! If you like celtic-tinged music, you may enjoy this band, they are from the UK and are fairly new - see what you think:





Brilliant tune. They look like they're from the past!

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzlfKts8Xx4&feature=related]

One of my favorites







Cant get this to work

I don't really have a favorite song, just a bunch of songs that I like. Also it would probably almost be as long as the list of bands that I posted in the other music thread a while ago. So I'll just chose a bunch of random ones

Shuffle brings up these first ones:
Susumu Hirasawa - Forces


Unfortunately Youtube only has the 2 minute version of the actual music video (it's weird and makes no sense anyway, he's in some glowing tube thing the entire time, good for stoners I guess), this or AMVs >_>
Funny thing is that in this version the music is better but in the "God Hand" version, as he calls it, the singing is better.

L'Arc~en~Ciel - Stay away



See-Saw - Tasogare no Umi



Art VS Science - Parlez-Vous Francais?



Fripside - Flower of Bravery



Metallica - For Whom the Bell Tolls



I think that's enough for now.

EDIT" Re-read the first post and realised I was supposed to put only one song


Automatically Appended Next Post:

Change it from [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzlfKts8Xx4&feature=related] to [ youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzlfKts8Xx4&feature=related[/youtube] without the space.

Pah! mattym waas close but bow before the once and always king! No not Elvis - LEMMY!




or this lot are okay I guess!

Thanks for the help.

@Albatross Fanstasic! I just ordered the album, and downloaded it so I can listen to it while I wait LOL.

@n0t_u I like the mime video, more than the music. Maybe they should just direct other peoples videos...

@notprop Its weird I prefer the Guns and Roses cover of Sympathy for the Devil Better.

This guy! This man right here! he speaks the truth! and coincidentally, whilst reading his post I was listening to Led Zeppelin anyways, Kashmir's my favourite personally but How Many More Times is good none-the-less...

@Loki, both pretty cool choices, I quite like Marillion.


Even though I don't have a favourite song, this one comes close:




It is in Afrikaans though, I tried to get the words in English. However my Google-fu is weak and my translation skills are rather lacking it seems.
