    I've actually never heard 3 Libras like that, but it's probably my favorite APC song from Mer de Noms, imo their best album, which is probably a testimant more than anything to the great lineup they had. I'm really not a big James Iha fan.

    (OT - Why are so many YouTube videos made with Kingdom Hearts/Final Fantasy, or w/e that video game on the video is?)

    Yup, he pretty much sucks.

    I've noticed that as well. I've never played Kingdom Hearts, but Final Fantasy means business!

    Simply breathtaking! I love this song, especially the part at 2:50. You must've heard the Photek remix of this too I awesome? Anyhoo...

    I really liked the mysterious feel to the background music. I wasn't a huge fan of the girl's vocals though.

    B- This song is pretty good but it's not quite my type of music. The acoustic guitar is pretty good, it sure makes me wish I knew how to play. The only problem about this song, is that it repeats and goes in circles too much for me. Makes me want to fall asleep at some points but it's a good song.

    It was a pretty sweet song but on some of the higher pitched parts I was kind of annoyed by his voice.

    I've noticed a few Incubus posts before so I thought I'd share one of their older (but still one of my favourites).

    I love Brandon's voice in this. So different than the little childish screaming he's been doing lately. S.C.I.E.N.C.E. still remains my favorite Incubus album. Great pick, I love the drums/tablas in this one.

    Now, from the best album of 2007, I present...

    B+ This song is pretty good and catchy......."We are the Earth Intruders". Only thing wrong was that is was sort of a little kid song IMO but it's ok....

    I can't stand that stuff. It's very repetitive and very much the same as any other hard rock/metal ensemble out today. Loud riffs, catchy chorus, and a horrible, horrible voice. I respect metal music, as it is my favorite but that was just God-awful. Sorry bro.

    Some pretty big names in that bunch. I'm not a big Springsteen fan, but that was good, I didn't mind him there. What's it from?

    And speaking of Sting...

    I love the middle-eastern music in it. The girl, Aishwarya Rai, is absolutely stunning.

    That song's given a lot of unnecessary heat, and I never understood that. It's probably my favorite song that Sting's ever done. I can see where some people may find it corny, but I find it beautiful.

    It was pretty solid, but the reason it got a B was because of that guy's voice.
    Just absolutely horrid. Next up...

    I liked that. The music video was cool. It was really creative. I really liked the sound as well. Usually that type of song is not really my style but I liked this one.

    B- Song is smooth with just enough rock. Lyrics arent bad either although this style music was over produced when this song was released which back then made me look down upon it, but I def dig it now. Extra points on tiffany amber as well.

    doubt you guys will like this style of music, but this band is one of my favorites.

    You were right, I'm not a fan of emo screamo music. It was alright until the guy started wailing and then screaming.

    Probably my favourite Strokes song, it's simple but it has a nice build up to the chorus.

    I saw them live and they put on probably the best show of any band I had seen up to that point. I especially love this song... listening to it really brings me back. When it first came out about three or four years ago, I played this song non-stop. I think this song stood out in particular to me because it reminded me of The Doors. Casablancas' vocals on the song sound a lot like Morrison's late-career vocal performances, imo.

    tbh, they have the whole early Finger Eleven stuff/early Nickelback stuff/Theory Of A Dead Man/3 Doors Down/Creed, and the whole MTV rock scene thing going on. I think they could do a lot better then what they just did in that song, and I think they're talented. But I just can't get past the whole MTV "Rock" thing.

    Anyway, here is mine:

    Fulton Lights - Fire in the Palm of My Hand

    umm....the video might be slightly creepy...so yeah...

    It was a pretty easy going song to listen to, I guess I was in the right mood to listen to it since I'm tired as hell right now and it seems like a nice song to just sit back and relax to.

    I didn't find the video creepy at all. Just kind of random.

    Next song is a band I've been listening to a little bit recently, and this is from the Spawn soundtrack which explains the music video. The song picks up at the halfway mark.
