Ehh, Pink's another one who sold out the image she had to become popular, in my opinion. Some of the older stuff isn't too bad, though.
And Bard, arguably -the- best band ever. Although that's not a song I know...

Black Sabbath - After Forever
- This is decent, I guess. Considering all I've heard about Black Sabbath, I'm really not too impressed by what I've heard so far. Maybe Paranoid is their only good song or something. >.>

I find Pink's newer stuff a lot better than her older stuff, actually. I think it's the opposite of what you said, honestly >_>

Pink - "Sober"

ASUS - sound of my laptop making very little noise at all.

What?

VySaika · « **Reply #979 on:** September 23, 2009, 11:57:00 PM »

Heh

And yeah, I'll agree with OK on her newer stuff generally being better. As for whether or not she "sold out" at all, uhhh, I dunno? I honestly don't bother with thinking about image and stuff like that so long as the music sounds good.

Anyway:

10,000 Maniacs - Eden.

Still possibly my favorite song ever.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #980 on:** September 23, 2009, 11:58:14 PM »

Eden is fucking badass, yes. That song alone makes Our Time In Eden my favorite Maniacs album, and they did The Wishing Chair. It's a tall order there.

Patti Smith - Chicklets

Ah, right. The Led Zep Moby Dick I was listening to earlier was a live version. The actual song is only 4 minutes. Hrm.

Black Sabbath - Iron Man (Live)
- ...Interesting. Not quite what I was expecting, and... ehh. Not bad, but definitely not great.

Led Zeppelin live is a horrid abomination. Long songs are fine when they're actually structured properly, but Jimmy Page turning average-length songs into half-hour epics through drugged-out guitar wankery is just excruciating. Their live recordings just embody all the worst excesses of seventies rock. I'm not real fond of the band in general (Robert Plant's "BABYBABYBABY" wailing got tiresome a looong time ago) but live versions of their songs are to be avoided at all costs.

As for Black Sabbath, I always liked Ozzy solo much more. This is probably some kind of blasphemy.

Echo & the Bunnymen - A Show Of Strength

I love the mood in Heaven Up Here. This song is an amazingly strong opener too.

...why, I don't know, but I found a video of it on loop for a few minutes.

Everything But The Girl - Don't Leave Me Behind

EBTG lyrics are always sorta strange to me.

Grefter · « **Reply #985 on:** September 24, 2009, 08:47:30 AM »

Sabbath is very much about context, they have other amazing songs than just Paranoid, but you have to find them amongst stuff that these days is kind of genericish (hint it is because people copied them).

Tom Morello is what brought the addictive guitar riff to Killing in the Name. If you like the good parts of that song it is all him. RATM is far from a band that the drums lead the shape and sound of the music (for king example of that, see Fear Factory). You should check out some Lombardo Slayer. Reign in Blood is pretty much the album for it, rest is kind of skippable. One of the best examples of Thrash out there.

Zep were a studio band and even then are a bit hit and miss. If you can't like anything on say Three though you are a tasteless hack. Gallow's Pole at least is fantastic. Immigrant Song is fun and probably for all the wrong reasons.

VCR - Really Something/Destroy.

Immigrant Song is hilarious. "Valhalla, I am comiiing." I can't really hate a band that basically gave the world Spinal Tap.

The Smiths: This Charming Man

The first song from them I've ever listened to, and probably the one that sold me on them. Guess why and win nothing (hint: insert cock joke here).

R.E.M. - Little America

I'll just assume the fact that it's awesome had something to do with it.

Bryan Adams - Summer of '69
- It doesn't matter that I was born just over two decades later than that. This song is still amazing.

Van Halen - Atomic Punk
- Probably the best of the older metal/rock bands that I got so far. I'm liking everything I've listened to of theirs so far.

That too. But The Smiths just pulled off a bunch of amazing songs about sexual confusion anyway.

Patti Smith - Frederick

I could listen to this song on loop for days.

That song was a little popular when I was in secondary school. A group even performed it on performance day.

So it's cools, mate.

Out of curiosity, what CDs were they?
