Stop with the damn RHCP songs please, it gets a bit repetitive. Share something you think others might not have heard, so we can expand our musical knowledge. As for Comfortbaly Numb, I don't think a grading scale fits it. It's way beyond that, it's a journey, rather a part of a journey known as the Wall. Quite likely some of the greatest music ever composed. It features some of my favorites lyrics in any song: The child is grown. The dream is gone. That alone speaks volumes about the song, the CD, and the band that withstood and still does so many decades. I think it speaks of how we should never let our inner child go, Carl Jung calls this our Divine Child. We should always embody the spirit of childhood in every situation, which is humility and playfulness. This is very evident throughout the song, that Pink (the character of the Wall) has let go of his, and delved into dangerous obstacles in life, and in the end of the song it summarizes how with the inner child being gone, all this trouble has come to Pink. Aside from that rambling, this song has one of the greatest, if not the greatest guitar solo ever. So full of emotion, so beautiful. I could keep talking about Pink Floyd forever. Now here's something real special to me. It's from my favorite band; Tool, it's a part of their three track opus of Disposition-Reflection-Triad. This is Triad done by itself live and with a bit of improvisation and help from Meshuggah's drummer Tomas Haake. Enjoy... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qR6cWXSfR1I
^^ Awesome. Though I've seen that exact video before A+ I've always loved tool, especially Keenan's performance live, because he's alway amazing. And not enough can be said about the lyrics, I mean everyone is constantly talking about the lyrics. The great thing about tool is they get you thinking, you just get sort hypnotized by the song, and not too many bands can do that. Okay, here's my little contribution. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQIpTVucITw One of my favorite bands. Off the Key To No Door EP. Not so sure how you guys will like it. But everyone I introduced to them liked them.

They're mellow and seem to really get into their music, which is rather rare these days. The song is good, but I'm not a fan of the lyrics. However, I love how it ended. Nice smooth bass lines there along with a tempo pick up. Thanks for the recommendation, Rafy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's one from a band who are undoubtably one of the best out there spanning their instrumental inspiration across the globe from the US to China. Their songs are incredibly long, but they're more so actual orchestrated pieces then regular songs. The most emotional music I've ever heard. The video is kinda stupid to me, but that's because it actually isn't their's. They don't make music videos though their music often inspires political controversy. You can see the inspiration of that from their fan videos, except this one. Just listen to the song. One of my five favorite songs of all-time from any artist. The ending is absolute genius. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Moya

I already had a few cd's from Godspeed and Silver Mt. Zion, and now I'm listening to them again I'm a huge fan of post-rock, but really Godspeed started it all. They're sort of like modern symphonists, and they're damn good at it. So, don't think I like to inflate my rating when I give another: A+ Why can't you guys post bad music? I'm dying to give a F- and BRING ME PETER PAN! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anyway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pH2sxm75k0...related&search= Radiohead - True Love Waits Gets me teary every time
A I love that song. The line I'm not living, I'm just killing time, is just so full of beauty and regret, and yeah, it gets me every time too. Anyways, here's my newest... Gordon Lightfoot ----- The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald Invalid Video Link
A One of the greatest folk songs of all-time, and probably my favorite Lightfoot song (although "If You Could Read My Mind" is another classic). Interesting pics to go along with it as well. New Song: John Frusciante - How Deep Is Your Love? (I know the constant RHCP recommendations are getting on people's nerves, but I was really posting this for Mamba, to get his opinion on it.) Invalid Video Link
A That was amazing. I'm not a big fan of the beegees, but I do like that song. Frusciante covered that perfectly. Like you said, he's got a great range on his voice and he showcased it there. Do you want to PM me some more covers?
I'm going to go ahead and post another RHCP song because this one hasn't been released officially, at least to my knowledge. It's an amazing song. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Quixoticelixer Invalid Video Link
B- I like this, it took a bit to kick in but when Anthony takes it in and the song gets heavier that's when I start to like it. The first part isn't that great but the ending is good. Here's mine... David Bromberg -- Mr. Bojangles [Live]
A Bromberg has a very soothing quality to his voice. I feel like my ears just got a massage. Great cover of a classic song. I was a little apprehensive about downloading it after hearing so many people screw it up, but this ranks up there with Dylan's cover of it. New song: (shifting gears here to something a little harder) Faith No More - Epic Invalid Video Link
A Mike Patton (as he is often referred to) is God. I love everything the guy has ever done involving music. He is up there with my love for Roger Waters, and Bob Dylan. Epic was one of the prominent Faith No More songs, that launched them into super stardom and is definitely amazing. Keeping with the similar interest... Tomahawk -- God Hates A Coward
B Not bad, I liked the sound of it, I liked the gas mask effect too. Heres a song by an Australian band that I caught on TV the other day, I thought it was quite touching: Invalid Video Link
B Yeah, I've seen that video before. Great stuff, I've been compelled to do the same thing, but I don't think it would received as well in my area. Anyways, good song, I just downloaded it after viewing that. Here's something a wee bit different... Norah Jones -- Sunrise Invalid Video Link
B+ This song was just what I was in the mood for, but I don't like her voice that much. Go ahead and call me crazy, because I can objectively say it's beautiful, but I just don't dig it personally. The video was great though --- very creative. New Song: The Bird and The Bee - Again and Again Invalid Video Link
B Not really my kind of music, but I liked it a lot. Beautiful voice. RATM: Killing in the Name Of Invalid Video Link
B- As far as Rage songs, I've always thought this was one of the worst. Musically, it's decent, but it's got very overrated lyrical content, and while I know De La Rocha had good intentions, I simply disagree with his message of racism in government and law enforcement. New Song: Metallica - Whiskey in the Jar (one of my favorite songs of all-time) Invalid Video Link
C+ Just not really feeling it Ben Folds Five - One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces Invalid Video Link
C The music is good, sans piano, but Ben Folds' voice is annoying as hell, and the lyrics are very hard to identify with. Poor vocals and poor lyrics can ruin an otherwise good song. New Song: Incubus - Talk Shows On Mute Invalid Video Link
B- Incubus is a pretty good band, but they get pretty annoying. The song in particular is rather average, it has a nice concept and lyrics, but for some reason it just sounds like something I've heard on MTV over and over and over again. Probably because they're affiliated with hoobastank for crying out loud. Good band, average song. ----------------------------------------------------------- Invalid Video Link I thought the video was pretty stupid, and it's the short version of the song.
Psh... don't hold it against Incubus for touring with Hoobastank. Just because they suck doesn't mean Incubus does. They're just from the same town in California. Incubus is one of the best active bands and an amazing live act. Sometimes I think they'd be more appreciated if they were less popular, because they are overrated, especially by all the 'poser surfer' types, but they're still a good band nonetheless. Rain on a Clear Night: B+ Good song w/a good vibe, but it's relatively bland and monotonous. New Song: The Arcade Fire - Rebellion Invalid Video Link
