What are you listening to right now? (Part 2 - Read first post!)

[Da_man]

Jordan by Buckethead, kinda funkly little pice of...something, with that (in)famous solo that anyone who has play GH2 knows.

Know Your Enemy by Rage Against The Machine, again a little funky thing with a good riff.

Two Minutes To Midnight by Iron Maiden, awesome guitar part, classic Iron Maiden.

Back In Black by AC/DC, 'nuff said

Love is gone by David Guetta

Love is goooonnnne. Europe has some good DJs eh.


Oooh and for those who don't know...

Operation Ground and Pound by Dragonforce

Not their best IMO, but the first I heard Don't ask questions about their lyrics or anything, power metal should not be taken too seriously.

I prefer "Black Fire" off their first album.

[Commander Obi-Wan]

All of DragonForce's songs sound the same to me. Though, I don't mind them.

I've been adding a ton of tunes. But one of my favs would have to be "What is Love?" by Haddaway. Gawd, I wish I could remember all those other songs from a decade ago.

[adamqd]

Downfall-Children Of Bodom... Not a Major fan of shout/scream "singing", but the quality of the rock outweighs all!

[Astrotoy7]

J.S. Bach - Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 in F major >
Concertino: trumpet in F, recorder, oboe, violin
Ripieno: two violins, viola, violone, and basso continuo (including harpsichord).

There is a very good reason Carl Sagan chose this(1st Allegro) as Track 1. on The Voyager Satellite's Golden Record, representing the music of the peoples of earth. It is quite simply the most perfectly metered countrepoint piece of music ever written.

Over the years, Ive played it to many friends who are not classical music fans, and its effect is instant. Not the clamour of Beethoven, or twiddly melodrama of Mozart, Bach's music is an example of the greatness and beauty humanity can strive for...quite fitting that his music ended up on Voyager IMO.

^^ My favorite concerto. I think Johann was in a very good mood when he wrote that.

Somewhat odd but entertaining Youtube link of the 1st movement: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7NZ8...eature=related

[Richard Blaze]

I really should have read the rules before posting here last night...

Anyway, now I am listening to T.V. Eye by The Stooges. A classic protopunk track from the equally classic Fun House album. While musically and lyrically rather simplistic, it's brought to life by Iggy Pop's vocals and Ron Asheton's excellent guitar work.

Now it changed into 1970 from the same album (I skipped "Dirt" even though it's a nice song as well). Once again a track based on a couple of simple riffs, but about halfway through the song Steve MacKay's saxophone creeps in from out of nowhere causing the rest of the album to go into psychedelic hyper mode.

And since I'm taking forever to post this, the title track of Fun House started playing. This song has a nice funky vibe to it, and Iggy sounds as maniacal as ever.

[Serpentine Cougar]

Listening to Falling Up. They've got an interesting sound, kind of a mix of different things. Piano, strings, guitars, singing, a little rap, some techno-ish sounds mixed in...an interesting blend. Plus they just have an interesting name.

[MasterWaffle]

These days I've been on a bit of a music blitz, but Imogen Heap stands out. She is a very talented techno singer/songwriter who's got a bit of Feist in her. Very interesting sound, to be sure! If you're a fan of the Dear Sister parody on SNL, you've probably heard her before.

[JoeDoe 2.0]

All the Small things by Blink-182

I like the music video of this song, one of the funniest band around, too bad that was a long time ago

Eruption by Van Halen

One of the coolest guitar solo ever IMO

Breathe into Me by Red

Heard it over a friend's house, liked it and bought it, worth the .99 fee from iTunes

[adamqd]

IMO too! Good choice amigo, check some of the live versions on Youtube.

Iron Maiden: Killers, the first A+ album from the Irons and still in the top 3 IMO

[Web Rider]

Irving Jacobson - Man of La Mancha(I, Don Quixote)
I'm rather addicted to this song after seeing an AMV done to it. If you didn't guess or don't know, it's from the play: Man of La Mancha, it's about Don Quixote. This track is sung by Jacobson, and he has a wonderful voice, the part with Pancho is some of the most grating noise you'll ever hear though. Besides that, it's aboslute awesome, a great song to get stuck in your head.

[Samuel Dravis]

Holy snap! I just heard this song by the Low Fidelity All Stars, and it's great! <3

Battleflag
Uncensored Version (but not the official video)

[Negative Sun]

On my phone atm:

Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell
Best Sabbath album ever and one of the best Rock/Metal albums ever too, Ronnie James >>> Ozzy

Dio - The Very Beast of Dio
Awesome Dio compilation!

Iron Maiden - Best of the Beast (2 CDs)
What more can I say? Pure classic metal!

Killswitch Engage - The End of Heartache/As Daylight Dies
Damn good albums again, one of the pioneering bands of metalcore and Howard Jones is still an awesome vocalist.

Lynard Skynard - Vicious Cycle
Again, a masterpiece of an album.

[Commander Obi-Wan]

Another member introduced me to Alestorm. It is "true Scottish Pirate Metal". It is similar to Dragonforce except better IMO.

There are a bunch of videos just playing the music. Just check some of them out. Link. I recommend "Captain Morgan's Revenge" and "Over the Seas".

[tk102]

I am at work on the weekend and with no one around, I have Conan the Barbarian Original Soundtrack playing "Ridddle of Steel / Riders of Doom" by Basil Poledouris. That's the part when little Conan's village gets sacked.

Wow, bringing back the old skool. Makes me nostalgic for the bad old days of rattling other people's cars with my subs

PS: They suck live

EDIT: If you liked that, here's another song from about the same period that you might enjoy...and they are much better live.

Red is awesome, I've got the whole album that song is from - love it!

Blink was good too, while they lasted.


Currently listening to Final Fantasy 6 soundtrack - just beautiful.

[Point Man]

Mirabilis by Medieval Baebes. They make medieval music sound sexy.

[John Galt]

Blackfield, by Blackfield, off the album(you guessed it) Blackfield.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=DrIqp4vBgP8

Blackfield(the band) is a collaboration between Porcupine Tree's Steven Wilson and Aviv Geffen. Stylistically they are quite similar to PT, and therefore awesome. Good song, good video.

[Rabish Bini]

Through the Fire and Flames - DragonForce

The fastest song I've ever heard, and I'm lovin' it.
Other good songs from DragonForce are Valley of the Damned and Operation Ground and Pound.

Excellent choice of usic my friend.
I think Valley of the Damned was thier best one yet.

[Rabish Bini]

Yeah I like Valley of the Dmaned, it's good as. Currently listening to:

Cry for Eternity - DragonForce
Another good, fast-paced song by DragonForce

[Da_man]

Yeah, I'm a big fan of Dragonforce, I have all of thier Albums.
I am now listening to:
The Libertad Album by Velvet Revolver.
Fairly good album, a lot better than the usual crap I see ppl buy.

[Rabish Bini]

Same here. Currently listening to:

Aces High - Iron Maiden
My fav Maiden song, fast paced and awesome.

[The Doctor]

At the moment, I've got Sensorium playing by the Dutch metal group Epica. Not many people I know are into metal music, and even of the few metalheads I know, only a handful of them have ever heard of Epica. They're a female fronted Symphonic Metal group, almost bordering on the Progressive Metal genre with some of their newer stuff. They sort of grew out of After Forever, after their guitar player and growler, Mark Jansen, left.

Anyone else a fan, or even heard of them?

Er, I, well, have tested this song's performance out personally in this manner. It works well!

EDIT: If you liked that, here's another song from about the same period that you might enjoy...and they are much better live.

That is pretty good, I will have to look up more of their music. Thanks!

As for right now: Shake Me by Mint Royale. It's rather good, and by rather good I mean awesome.

[Rabish Bini]

Welcome Home (Sanitarium) - Metallica, I have no idea why I like this song, or why its probably my fav song, probably just cos its Metallica

[Da_man]

Wow, i was just listening to that. Funky.

By the way, you might want to make your name on your sig pic a little darker.

[Pho3nix]

Listening to Supernatural Superserious from R.E.M.'s new album Accelerate

I'm positively surprised, since Around the Sun was so boring and well, mediocre. They haven't made a decent album for some time, but Accelerate brings R.E.M. back to It's roots.

8/10

[Rabish Bini]

Currently listening to:

Shaddap You Face - Joe Dolce
One of the funniest songs i've heard, and also was number one in many charts around the world, check it out!

[Ravnas]

Bad Day-R.E.M. To me its the quintessential R.E.M. song

[Rabish Bini]

Black Fire - DragonForce

A song that actually manages to be faster than Through the FIre and Flames, Wow! How fast can those guys play guitar and drums, definately one for the speed metal fans.

[Da_man]

^ One of my faves.

I am Night, Colour Me black-Priestess
Not thier best, but still a good song.

[Boba Rhett]

Ravnas reminded me that I haven't listened to much R.E.M. lately so I just went on a binge and listened to Nightswimming, Losing My Religion and Daysleeper. I haven't gotten a chance to listen to Accelerate yet but I'm hoping it's really the throwback that I hear it is.

Hey, did anyone else hear that STP is getting back together?

[DarthAve]

Currently listening to.. Something About Us by Daft Punk. I found out they were French when researching french musicans. Which is cool because if I ever meet them, I'm learning French, and I was a Daft fan BEFORE Kayne sampled them, so yay.

Also, on the subject of R.E.M. I just recently decided to buy Losing my Religion on iTunes and I love it. I'm gonna look at more of their stuff as soon as I get more money.

[Rabish Bini]

Are You Dead Yet - Children of Bodom

I actually really despise Death Metal, I just can't stand it, or any other metal which sounds like wild donkeys dying, but this is actually a really good song, the only one I like from Children of Bodom and that entire genre.

[Commander Obi-Wan]

"Inside The Fire" - Disturbed

It's from their new album, Indestructible coming out June 3rd. I'm so stoked for that album.

[JediAthos]
