I didn't want to bump my old thread, but it's here for reference, and there had been some stuff in it that are worth checking out: http://forums.dragonflycave.com/showthread.php?t=5419

So yeah, comment on the song posted above, then post a youtube link to a new one, and feel free to add any comments to that one as well. (don't post video game songs here, though, there's a separate thread for that)


A Perfect Circle - Passive

sort of heavy but melodic alt rock song featuring anger; the piano really sets the mood here, and Maynard's vocals are excellent (unfortunately probably the only song worth listening to from eMOTIVe, but at least the other two albums are great, can't wait for their new one)
 
Decent, but definitely not APC's best work.

Judas Priest - Victim of Changes

With all due respect to Ian Hill and Alan Moore, this one's all about the vocals and guitar. Arguably one of the top metal vocal performances ever coupled with a really underrated riff, and the solo is truly top-notch.
 
Well that cover kind of loses the whole feel and build-up of the original Edvard Grieg song, and I actually prefer their original material (in particular their self-titled and Worlds Collide albums) over their covers, but still a great performance nonetheless.

And you can comment on the videos as well if you want, but don't turn this thread into 'rate the video above'.


Nevermore - Believe In Nothing

probably their most commercial song to date (ignore how bad the band looks like in some of the pics in the vid, couldn't find a better one as some of the best parts of this song are missing from the official video)
 
From the words of the Nostalgia Critic:

"God, I go gay for that voice"

Friends on The Other Side was an awesome song, and certainly one of the best villain songs

No Good Deed from Wicked
 
The piano part is a little boring to me. I would probably like this song a bit more if it had vocals to distract me from the repetitiveness of the piano. I like how it mixes with the other parts, though.

Mrs. Pumpkin's Comical Dream - Hatsune Miku

It's a really interesting sounding song, even if the lyrics make no effing sense.
 
It sounded really strange, but unfortunately, not in a good way.

Indica - Vuorien Taa

It's like lighter Nightwish with some semi-Bollywood-ish parts (at least, I hear it that way).

Also, @Watershed: *looks at Last FM Last Played list* Well, well, well! Look who's finally opened up to hair metal! Can I get a "You were right"? XD
 
I like 3 Bon Jovi songs, man. That doesn't count as liking hair metal. It is better than Motley Crue anyway (who I saw part of live). Anyway, I do like a bunch of cheesy songs, yes. But I don't like the general idea of the scene.

I don't see the Bollywood in this. It's not bad, but I can't see myself giving this more spins since it's not really interesting. They were irrelevant when I saw them live, too. I have definitely heard worse though.

Pain of Salvation - Road Salt

This song competed for the Swedish Eurovision song entry. It didn't make it unfortunately.
 
I can see how some people might like it, but I didn't really think it was all that great of a tune personally... I kept waiting for the crunchy guitars to come in and make the song come together (Pain of Salvation is a metal band iirc) but the song was for the most part a capella all the way through and didn't really have a lyrical or musical hook to capture my interest. I am guessing those who like this song like it because they see it as very emotional, but I don't know, I found it to be just a little too cheesy to really tug at my heartstrings? To each his own I guess.

Sonic Youth - 'Cross the Breeze

This song, on the other hand, is SUPER good. :)
 
I like the song OK, but like most bands in that genre - it gets old fast for me. Daydream Nation ain't bad though.

Zeromancer - Dr Online

I have developed a liking for industrial rock.

Fuck my life.
 
The chorus was catchy, but other than that it wasn't really anything special. I think I still rather prefer stuff like KMFDM, Celldweller and such.

Marillion - Deserve

most of the album this song is on had additional production from Steven Wilson; yeah, go figure. I was actually going to post Tumble Down The Years, but I couldn't find that song anywhere it could be directly accessed from. :/
