I have a lot of favourites, but they change quite often, depends when I find out of some new band and stuff like that.


Stuff what Foo Fighters, Skye Sweetnam, Nirvana and Rancid do is pretty funky, so I guess their songs are my favourites ever.

3. William Shatner - Has Been (2004)

William Shatner still releasing monologues with background music? I happened to hear two of his old albums once.

*lol* well, in a way, yes. The album is quite good though. Very poetic lyrics and a couple of very well written songs with a lot of brilliant guest singers. I think it even was record of the month in the Rolling Stone magazine, German issue that is.

Cheers.

While we're at it. Do any of you know of "Backward Masking"?
Several very famous artistes/albums are known to be under its influence.
And yes the music you listen to does affect your life. Ever heard of what "gloomy sunday" did? It has killed all who have been associated with it.

"Stairway to Heaven" was a great song, wasn't it? Must've taken ages to make it sound just right, almost entire lyrics making sense if listened backwards. The band improved it a lot, the message doesn't sound that clear when listening to bootlegs, for example.
Original "Gloomy Sunday" had really depressing lyrics. If someone had a bad day, and happened to hear the words, with that kind of a creepy music playing in the background, he/she could really start thinking about commiting a suicide. Has anyone here seen "Kairo"/"Pulse"? It popped in my head while I was thinking on what to reply, and I would compare the feeling a sad person would feel after listening to "Gloomy Sunday" with that feeling of loneliness in that movie.

Yeah, it was an excellent song! So were a few more of Led Zepplin's songs: Immigrant Song, Kashmir, Rock and Roll, just to name a few...

You mean to say you've listened to the whole song?

I haven't happened to hear the original yet. I have heard a lot of remakes, though, with words in English.

I quite like old Rock. Stuff like the Rolling Stones, Def Leppard, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Guns'n Roses, AC/DC, etc.

From those bands, I mostly enjoy these songs:
Stones
Paint It Black (well, hell, yeah!)
Sympathy For The Devil

Def Leppard
Demolition Man (Still got to find this one again)
When Love And Hate Collide

Lynyrd Skynyrd
Simple Man
Free Bird
Death Man Walking

Led Zeppelin
Stairway To Heaven (How can you NOT like that song?)

Pink Floyd
The Wall
One Of My Turns
Wish You Were Here

Guns'n Roses
Civil War
Don't You Cry
November Rain
Get In The Ring

AC/DC
Thunderstruck
TNT (Their two most famous songs, and not without a reason)

Aside from these, I really enjoy Mano Negra (especially King Of The Bongo), Leonard Cohen (Especially Waiting For The Miracle, as it's so dark and gloomy... almost like a nocturnal predator), The Donnas, Wolfsheim, Arno (Dutch artist that sings in French. Especially like his A Eux Je Montre Mon Derri?re), SID music, Gwar (they're just too damn hilarious not to like), Cartoon themes (like from the Thundercats, the Turtles, etc). I could keep going on and on like this, actually. There's so much great music out there.

Oh, and two more that're definitely worth mentioning: Jochem Gugelot and Kraftwerk

Edit: Forgot Husker Du, The Ramones and The Donnas

I just listened to the original version of "Gloomy Sunday" and I still think that life is really great. So much for that myth...

I like just about every song that Kon-Tiki posted.
My favorite band is Pink Floyd, (Saw them on TV at Live8 last night, feckin' amazing )

Favorite songs by them: See Emily Play (Piper at the gates of Dawn), One of these Days, Climb it and Echoes (Meddle), The whole of Dark Side, Wish you were here albums. Favorites on Animals are Dogs and Pigs(Three different ones)
Also, I love the Wall. All of it. Except Another Brick pt 2, it's too overplayed. I don't really like The Delicate sound of Thunder, Momentary Lapse or Division Bell much. Floyd don't work without Roger Waters.

Anyway that turned into a Floyd post...

I do like other music. Mostly progressive and psychadelic rock. I also like the bands System of a Down, Slipknot, Cradle of Filth and others of that calibre. Others are the Cure, the Who, Blur, Neil Young, Crosby, Stills and Nash, the Beatles, the Kinks, Annie Lennox, Nirvana, Emerston Lake and Palmer, Yes, Jethro Tull, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, and Roger Waters' solo stuff.
I like all songs by these guys. There're tons more, but I can't name them all.

Wasn't that just a magic and surreal moment when Waters and Gilmour sang "We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish-bowl year after year..." together after all these years?
