No offense at all here, but I think Incubus have a bland sound. The Arcade Fire - Rebellion - C This band is pretty good, I remember hearing a lot of them a while back. Not digging this song much though, but isn't bad anyway. The violin work is very questionable if even real, seriously. The piano work is alright, but I like the chorus and the rest of the song plays out pretty decently. Next song is one from a unique west coast band. Well ok, the girl is from Russia. She's the only female singer I can tolerate. Persephone's Bees - Climbing Invalid Video Link EDIT* Found a better quality video and changed the song.

I mean, I can understand you criticizing them or them not being your cup of tea persay, but "bland" would be one of the last words I would use to describe such a diverse band.

You believe they're diverse, I believe they sound bland and uninventive.

I'm doomed to be a musical elitist for life though. For some reason I still can't grasp the fact that what pleases my ears doesn't please every one else's.

Keeping in spirit with female vocalists, I present the Goddess... Tori Amos -- I Can't See New York Invalid Video Link
Tori Amos - I Can't See New York - B+ Not a fan of Tori Amos, but this song was good. You can feel the emotion behind the piano through certain stretch points. I like the meaning behind the song and it was well written. This is the type of song that wants me to give her music more of a chance. Next up another band from Belgium. I love this video. Sharko - President Invalid Video Link
D Personally, I'm surprised my ears didn't bleed. Def can't stand how it sounds. Good video though. Audioslave - Cochise Invalid Video Link Easily one of my favorite hype songs.
Audioslave - Cochise - F This band never does it for me. If I wanted to hear this exact guitar work I'd click back to the early 90's for RATM. Singing is absolutely horrendous, for me personally one of the worst singers out there. I never could stand his screaming 80's/90's split style. When he cuts down to a lower tempo it gets even worse because he has no true vocal range. It ends in typical fashion as well with the same ol' same verse-chorus-repeat-drop-repeat that has been overdone since I don't know when. Anyway, no offense to you or your taste in music what-so-ever. I'm just tired of these types of artists that all give me the same as many others. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New song is from the band who's singer uses an E-Bow to play the electric guitar. The band who even Metallica and Radiohead have praised as the most unique in the world. Not for the weak at heart or the impatient, it is the Victory Rose. Sigur R?s - Svefn-G-Englar Invalid Video Link
I'm an Incubus fan, but I think M Two One has a point about Talk Shows on Mute and ACLOTM in general. I think that album was a bit iffy sounding and was difficult to adjust to after Alex got replaced by Ben. Talk Shows on Mute is probably one of the worst songs off that album. M Two One, depending on which album you might think they suck. Their first couple and A Crow Left of the Murder weren't up to par with Morning View, Make Yourself and I think that they've gotten a bit better with Light Grenades. --------------------- Sigur R?s - Svefn-G-Englar B- Errie sounding, but it's unique. Takes a little while to get warmed up to it. I'm personally not a fan of these kinds of songs. Anyway, my reccommendation. Muse - Hysteria
It took me two years to get into Sigur R?s' music, strangely. My fianc?e is the one who got me into them, but at first I didn't really understand it. Then when you sit down and just listen you really hear what the music is about. Simply, art.

Peter, Bjorn & John Feat. Victoria Bergsman - Young Folks - A Awesome video and a nice easygoing track. Simple and unique; there's nothing else I can really write to explain it. Great one, Sasha. New song is from a band you enjoyed a while back. I finally found a video of their's. I'm sure you'll want to make your own grade on this one. ?t? 67 - Dis moi encore Invalid Video Link
<div class="quote_poster">M Two One Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">?t? 67 - Dis moi encore</div> A Amazing is too small of a word to portray this. Great stuff once again. I love it from beginning to end. Here's mine... Mogwai -- Christmas Steps Invalid Video Link
Mogwai - Christmas Steps A+ I had to grade this one. Mogwai always do spectacular stuff, they remind me a bit of Godspeed you! Black Emperor. They did the entire album for the Zinedine Zidane film that was released, which was really cool. This song, like GY!BE tend to start off, comes into focus with a low tone drifting you into another realm before it takes off and you feel like you're somewhere else. You get caught in the song unlike any other type of music can produce. Then it ends in perfect fashion. Otherwordly music is always the best IMO, which is why I love bands like Sigur R?s, GY!BE, and Mogwai. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ New song is from GY!BE. I posted this in another thread, but I suppose it suits better for the music section even though it is a rather political video. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Rockets Fall on Rocket Falls Invalid Video Link
This thread hasn't been posted in since yesterday morning, I don't think anybody wants to rate that video. Let me post an all time favorite (probably of most members on this board) so they can choose which one to rate, or they can rate both. Invalid Video Link
<div class="quote_poster">M Two One Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Rockets Fall on Rocket Falls</div> A+ My favorite GY!BE song! All their stuff is political just about and that's why I love it. Well that, and the little known fact that they arrange some of the most beautiful music ever to be recorded. Good pick! Here's my next one... Mahavishnu Orchestra -- Noonward Race Invalid Video Link
Or how about some of us are getting sick of this euro crap If you haven't noticed, it's been you two back and forth for awhile now.
If you're sick of it, respond, and say what you think of it and then proceed with your recommendation. It's how the thread works, genius. Don't be ignorant.
Not to disrupt the flow again here people, but lets stay calm. We don't need a flame war to erupt from a couple simple comments.
