Songs to Listen To

I think there was a thread like this, but it diiiieeed. Here's what we're going to do. We're going to post a link (or two) to a song (or two) that we like and want to share. Put the link, name and band/singer/vocaloid, and a brief description down of what you enjoy about the song. The next person down could either say what the liked about the song and rate it from 1 to 10, or just rate it.



Franz Ferdinand, Take me Out
I'm not a big fan of Ferdinand, honestly, probably because every friend's car I went into a year ago was either playing them or Soulja Boy on repeat. But I love this song because of the instrumentals, and the lyrics are okay too. My favorite part begins at 0:53

Rush: Limelight
An excellent song about sociology's dramaturgical theory. Also, Rush is an awesome band. I advise checking out a lot of their songs. Anti-socialism and potent philosophy abound. He does a few songs that question religion and faith, like "Roll the Bones" and "Freewill", but I usually let it slide...

Demon Hunter: Carry Me Down
One line from this song, "save sorrow for the souls in doubt", I want on my tombstone. DH is a really good Christian metal band, though this song is definitely one of their softer ones. Even if you're not Christian, I advise at least listening to them a bit.

Emerald Sword ~ Rhapsody (of Fire).
It's a symphonic metal song part of the Symphony of Enchanted Lands saga that Rhapsody (of Fire) tells via song.

I Can't Decide ~ Scissor Sisters
Just like the song. Helps that it's featured in an episode of Dr. Who.

EDIT: Rush I give a 8/10 for decent lyrics (though the music didn't quite stick to me), 6/10 for Carry Me Down (but then that's not quite the style of music I enjoy).

Lilium - Kumiko Noma
The opening theme for Elfen Lied and sung completely in Ecclesiastical Latin. I really like her singing voice and I also like the lyrics, which I like enough to memorise the whole thing song in both English and Latin. My favourite bit starts at about 0:43.

Edit: Sorry, I'm a bit tired ^^;

Emerald sword I give a 7/10. got a very nice riff, and reminds me a bit of Dragonforce.
I dislike Scissor Sisters, so I wont rate that.

Sorry about that L'Ryn, I shouldn't really be posting when tired. I edited my above post accordingly.

And here I was thinking we had so much in common...

Well, actually, technically it is the 'type' of music I enjoy (Metal), just not the same sub-type (I'm more into stuff like this).

Well, like I said, DH usually does heavier stuff than "Carry Me Down". In a couple songs, they kind of experimented with the softer side of metal. I have a wide array of tastes, so I don't mind.

Where I end and you begin-Radiohead

I've always liked this song, in some cases it has represented some the realtionships I've had with so called friends. Needless to say they didn't have a happy ending.

Sonne-Rammstein

Up front and uncompromising, great song to listen to when at the gym or cycling I find.


Climbing up the Walls-Radiohead

I find this song and I are quite alike.

Topic revival!

Of the three, I like Sonne best, so that gets an 8/10. Radiohead isn't my thing, but I'll give both a 6/10.

Smooth Criminal - Alien Ant Farm
A cover of Michael Jackson's song, and is almost as good as the original. The change in the song's genre to rock is what sets it apart though.

Is techno allowed?

because I like some of the by cosmic gate, and miracle by cascada

8/10- the riff is awesome and the vocals are really nice I might have heard it before.

Welcome Home (Sanitarium) - Metallica

Sorry about the 6 minutes, the lyrics are cool and it's a nice slow song up until 3:45
