You know, topics like this always annoy the shit out of me. I should probably just steer away from them.

[lePobz]

You know, topics like this always annoy the shit out of me. I should probably just steer away from them.Because you're an arrogant kinda guy that disagrees with everyone? Yeah, stay the f*** out. Your opinions mean jack shit to me, too.

[ĐynastҰ]

*tries to calm the situation by mooning everyone*

but anyway, i LOVE these 2 songs by Massive Attack, they really make me sit back and think 'wow, that was a ***king great song' everytime:

[Baal]

Incase you guys didn't like my last submission, don't even try to tell me this isn't an incredible song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39iJjkrd-R8

I've never even watched the video...I'm not impressed though :(

The song though...oh god :D

edit: ok he is making out with a dog; video revived.

[Absinthe]

Beat me to it.

Aww... You angry at me too because I don't tone down my language for your sensitive eyes? :(

[Pulse]

Someone's attention seeking.

[Absinthe]

Someone's attention seeking.

Bingo!

But in all seriousness, I'm called arrogant, I respond, and I'm being an attention whore? :( Is there no way I can win?

[Adrien C]

Dayvan Cowboy - Boards of Canada

Sublime

Thanks mate , asawme song, I d-loaded some other songs from them but I didn't find them as great as that one.

[Muffin Man]

Aww... You angry at me too because I don't tone down my language for your sensitive eyes? :(No, not really. I'm quite argumentative myself, and I don't see why you should tone anything down if you don't want to, even if I would. But I'll be damned if that isn't why these threads annoy you, :P.

Anyway, this thread needs moar Queen.

[Dalamari]

Coldplay - Politik

I HATE Coldplay btw, but my friend played this on my comp yesterday, and I was really suprised how good of a song it was

Also, Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat - Bob Dylan, off "The Bootleg Series" it's much more slowed down, sounds like a BB King jam, really good

[gick]

Life Is Pain, Super Tuesday or One Dead Cop by Leftover Crack. All three of those songs make me want to sing, and jump about, and throw a molotov cocktail through the nearest Starbucks. Rawr.

Also the Dropkick Murphys version of Fields of Athenry, and Drunken Lullabies by Flogging Molly.

[Solaris]

Also the Dropkick Murphys version of Fields of Athenry,.

[TheAntipop]

Anything by A Silver Mt. Zion, notably the opening 3 tracks on He Has Left Us Alone... but I really can't be arsed typing them out as they are long.

[ComradeBadger]

There can only be two:

There Is A Light That Never Goes Out - The Smiths


Lover, You Should Have Come Over - Jeff Buckley

[lePobz]

Most tracks from Conjure One are amazing, but the rare chill out mixes from Solarstone (and others) are just sublime... if you close your eyes and listen, they take you to another state of consciousness. I've uploaded an example here (http://www.pr51.net/pob/cots.mp3). Don't skip any of it, you'll just ruin it. Oh, and turn the bass up!

[Lucid]

Everything on Falkenbach's Heralding the Fireblade album, and anything by Heather Dale.

Their music is quite epic.

[Asus]

Even though it came out in '72 "T" Plays it Cool (Marvin Gaye) sounds like it could have been made today.

[StardogChampion]

Pixies - Where is my Mind?

Turn it up loud for the solo and the chorus afterwards is wow.

[lePobz]

Pixies - Where is my Mind?

Turn it up loud for the solo and the chorus afterwards is wow.Heh, that tune reminds me of my college days ... I had it playing constantly on repeat as I did 2 years worth of work in one week of no sleep and solid work.
And I passed! :laugh:

Wow.

Ennio Morricone's Ecstasy of Gold.

[staticprimer]

"They Don't Sleep Anymore on the Beach" by Godspeed You Black Emperor. The whole song is great, but when the song hits around 18 minutes, it's some of the most beautiful music I have ever heard - if not the most. It's so moving I have no choice but to close my eyes and let it consume me every time I hear it.

Velvet Underground - Sweet Jane

i hear that. strange story behind why i think sweet jane is one of those special songs

no-one will probably care but what the ****, who cares who am i harming telling it

i moved away from my place of growing up if you will which means my 'childhood' friends and all that bollocks....anyhow, i used to visit one of me mates from where i used to live after moving away a few miles away and his dad give me a lift back from his. just me and his dad

he was like have you ever heard of the velvet underground and i was like yeah, don't know them too well though and he went listen to this and slapped a cd of velvet underground on and skipped to sweet jane....it had memories to him in someway about meeting his missus...

i was blown away by it....and its just sat with me as an absolutley ****ing amazing tunes from then

maybe just because it reminds me of a good time and that it meant so much to someone else....and simply because its a brilliant tune

[the show 1347]

My sacrifice - by Creed.

[Warbie]

maybe just because it reminds me of a good time and that it meant so much to someone else....and simply because its a brilliant tune

I can relate to that - these things often go hand in hand.

Some songs just strike you as being right for the time you're in. Sweet Jane quickly became an anthem for me and my friends in our later teenage years. It's often described as being completely unprentious, which is quite rare on a rock song, and is just ****ing awesome in so many ways :)
