:P
I love music, who doesn't? I like sharing it, finding something new, even if i end up not liking it. Genres don't exisit, only what you like and don't like. So post something here if you have the urge... You're favourite song if you have one, something you've had stuck in your head for ages, one you totaly hate, a guilty pleasure... I guess i'll start with a few :)
The song i've probably listened to the most - Tool-Reflection (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ja3LGFY1i0o)
At the moment lots of hip/hop/rap - Tech N9ne-Low (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNWsPPMUv-Q&feature=related) / Nine Leaves-Bad Dreams (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Z2FNiFeQ7s) Deep
Can't help but move to this ♥motown - Steve Wonder-Sir Duke (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sIjSNTS7Fs)
What i spent my christmas Itunes vouchers on :P - Rosetta-Wake (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoEY5NoaMuw)
"Guilty" pleasure..? or just pleasure :P - Nicki Minaj-Super Bass (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoEY5NoaMuw)
This may have been a bad idea, theres way too much to list. Not really anything i "hate".. wouldn't listen to boy bands on purpose though.
-
Nice list Xan (except for Nicki Minaj perhaps? Though I notice your link for that doesn't actually work !!! :) ), I like Tool-Reflection allot, very chilled. Also like Rosetta-Wake, pretty cool. Will check out some more songs from both.
Hard to describe your whole music collection in just a few songs, so i won't try, I'll just post a few that immediately come to mind! :
Two classic songs from Metal bands - System of a Down - Toxicity (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJmt3dr9XYQ) ; Metallica - Nothing Else Matters (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcbAibPA2yY)
Underworld are still going strong and I love their new album last year, but still can't beat this one they did a few years ago Moaner (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7ejoo8vMJQe)
Currently listening to rock stuff like Funeral Party - Finale (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBz1qeVtvxE&ob=av2e) and Rise Against - Satellite (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nQCxwneUwA&ob=av2e) and still listneing to the awesome foo fighters album out from last year, many good songs but this is my favourite - Foo Fighters - Arlandria (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkHp_JLtxck)
Old school would really have to be Hendrix I'm afraid, can't beat All Along the Watchtower (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZTPsrcfQSE&feature=related) ...totally awesome!
More chilled? - how about Warpaint - Undertow Live (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxBvRgenbBc), Metronomy - The Look (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFrNsSnk8GM&ob=av2e)
Funny/Awsome! - Tenacious D - Tribute (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lK4cX5xGiQ&ob=av2e)
Guilty pleasure, hrm I have too many..... how about Ellie Goulding - Starry Eyed (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBf2v4mLM8k&ob=av3n) ... probably as bad as yours :)
-
I have only tried Tool - Reflection so far of what you have listed but will listen to more.
I also have many songs that I wanna share but will start with just one ...
Present Tense - Pearl Jam
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4O7jmmSYI9U
Hope you like it as much as I do.
-
Great track Sax :) And Las i like it, the chilled stuff especialy. Never heard of War paint before, the're good. Been a system fan for a long time, and if i was forced to pick one i'd say Tool was my favourite band.
Melt Banana - Shield for Your Eyes, A Beast in the Well
If you like punk you may like this, or it might offend your ears :P
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQ6Sk8Aj-SQ)
-
Yup great song Sax. Xan - that certainly is unique ! :) Doesn't offend my ears but not sure it's in the 'like' category either :D

WARNING WARNING - THREAD HIJACK!!!
Ok, not strictly music but this is very cool http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDZAJo1y__8&feature=related (Spidy, Ironman and the Hulk take on giant killer robots)
Musically
4th July by Soundgarden - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cy6QcNohf1U - prolly one of their best songs imo.
Born Slippy - Underworld http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlLWFa1b1Bc - fucking loved this song when it came out!
Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue - Where the wild roses grow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wlh6e2cmlTk - Shame it is from a singing game, seems hard to find on Youtube, great song though.
Brainbug - Nightmare - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4YiM4JcLtA - Old School house, wicked video ;p
Enjoy ...
-
Renamed the Thread :P Post a funny/cool video here too if you like... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzaHnJBqSls
Nice stuff. not heard of Soundgarden before. And Born Slippy is a great track, 90's all over it :)
Some random stuff i listened to tonight.
Bush-Testosterone (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfPRX_FSWcQ)
Tool-Parabola (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_z2O289Jemo&feature=related)
The Maytals-Pressure Drop (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ao3Z5I6FI8)
NiN-Eraser(Denial; Realization) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQUVfg93ERI)
Tech N9ne-Strange Music Box (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6FNB2Hy5j8&feature=related)
-
This cover amused me, by a band all playing one guitar :)
Check out the beard guy on the right, he has the best job ! I'm also pretty sure one of the singers is Peter Gabriel in disguise :)
Somebody that I used to know - Walk off the earth (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9NF2edxy-M)
-
So i know frequent forum visitors that haven't yet contributed to this thread but must (cos music is awesome,frankly) are.... Cernos, eko, Brigh and maybe Shi :)
C'mon, gis some music you enjoy, I don't care if you think we won't like it :)
p.s. Xan, i think Melt banana are growing on me, lol!
-
Melt Banana sorta reminds me of Sonic Youth (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4l6hpV4NrR0), but even harder and with more noise.
Learned to appreciate music with grunge (Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, ...) then got more into metal, switched to hip-hop and now it's a bit of everything (no opera though :P). Lately listening to some female singers (Adele, Lana Del Rey, Amy Winehouse, Duffy, ...) and really like Duffy - Rockferry (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zQP6vgWiek&ob=av2n), great song.
Another song I really like is Faithless - God is a DJ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02BUCVBHSKw&ob=av2n), got it as my ringtone and it's real funny at work as every time I get a call my colleagues all put their hands in the air :).
But let's try to add some Belgian songs (hard to choose) of different genres
Arsenal - Salvegam (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=182rm-Y_TGc)
Daan - Victory (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIIUw58vUro)
dEUS - Suds & Soda (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3r7Oo0Fs-8)
Goose - Synrise (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFoBZrMloDE)
Hooverphonic - Eden (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ue0x04PhQkA)
Selah Sue - This World (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJtM7SRo6l8&ob=av2n)
Starflam - Ce Plat Pays (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWu831tq9dE)
Stromae - Alors on Danse (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHoT4N43jK8&ob=av2n)
The Black Box Revelation - High on a Wire (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBA2vBFgCgc)
And to get in a holiday mood, the French/Cuban rap group Orishas (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arvLBN1d3Yk) with A lo Cubano.
I'll stop here for now ;D.
Actually forgot one I really have to add, Scala, an all girl choir accompanied by piano doing covers of rock & pop songs, amazing stuff. For example Scala & Kolacny Brothers - Engel (cover from Rammstein) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsGy-A5SOPU) & Scala & Kolacny Brothers - Nothing Else Matters (cover from Metallica) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTvN4pExX7g&feature=related) for Las :).
And how could I forget Gorky - Mia (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aFSp1V_mU0), a song constantly voted as best Belgian rock/pop song.
-
Well since you asked (are you sitting comfortably!) ....
It's hard for me to pick out just a few things as I like such a vast range of music. I'd not previously posted in this thread, not because I had nothing to add, but quite the opposite (as you'll see, hehe). Anyway I've had a fun evening trawling through Youtube to find these, so I hope at least some of them are of interest. Here's just a few of my musical influences and favourites. Note that most of these are live versions (as is the way with Youtube) and vary a fair bit in quality.
John Martyn - Solid Air (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohmSPv-rtSQ)
John Martyn - Small Hours (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYLVM560Fok)
A huge musical influence and two of my favourite JM songs. The reworking of his 70s classic Solid Air is just dripping with soul, beautiful. And Danny Thompson has to be one of the best bassists there is. On Small Hours the guitar sound he uses was ahead of its time and done with an analog tape echo unit.
Neil Young - Hey Hey My My (Into The Blue) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeH8s_RAuTI) Includes Jawas!
Neil Young & Pearl Jam - Keep On Rockin' In The Free World (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDzL_WU3mmE)
I discovered Neil Young when I was about 14 with the album Rust Never Sleeps. It had a beautiful acoustic side and a dirty grungy electric side. Both blew me away and he's been a huge musical influence of mine ever since. The MTV performance with Pearl jam was jaw dropping at the time, no-one expected it to turn out like it did.
Jackson Browne - Your Bright Baby Blues. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgWYangWAr0)
Jackson Browne - Running On Empty (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJYRtOPUonA)
One from 1977 and one from Glasto 2010, good to see he's still in fine voice. David Lindley's lap steel solos always send shivers down my spine, I'd love to be able to play that instrument.
Sandy Denny & Fairport Convention - Who Knows Where The Time Goes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2xODjbfYw8)
Sandy Denny - Late November (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQiWL0HfIJs)
One of the most beautiful and haunting voices to ever grace the airwaves. Her voice still stops me in my tracks. Timeless.
Richard Thompson - Vincent Black Lightning 1952 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgxbCnqCyKA)
The master. Budding guitarists might want to look away now.
Chris Knight - North Daktoa (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GX8hGmR00E)
I'm a big fan of Americana and and storytelling via song. This is the closest to the sort of acoustic music I like to play myself on the guitar (I do a rather substandard cover of this song)
Gillian Welch & Dave Rawlings - Time (The Revelator) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yj3kppAkl1Q)
More Americana. Went to see them live a few months ago, one of the best gigs I've ever seen. The musical chemistry between them is mesmerising and Dave Rawlings guitar playing is from another planet - who says the shredders get all the best licks!
Rory Gallagher - Do You Read Me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoG-8ehGLkc)
Rory Gallagher - Walk On Hot Coals (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62aK7Sy8ajg)
The guitarist who I've always most wanted to play like, but all I've achieved so far is a guitar that looks as beaten up as his. Check out the second guitar solo on Walk on Hot Coals and all the clipped notes. And the guitar solo at the end of Do You Read Me still makes me grin from ear to ear every time I see/hear it. And great to see a snippet of Stanley Unwin (anyone else ancient enough to remember him?)
The Waterboys - The Pan Within (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQ3WqNWcXo4)
The Waterboys - Glastonbury Song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDhmDBYn7cg)
Still going strong and still awesome. One of the best live acts I've seen.
The Cure - A Forest (acoustic) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYzkioskF6A)
My favourite Cure song and my favourite version of it.
Bon Iver - Blindsided (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehe7o8GN6dc)
Hauntingly beautiful voice and a wonderfully atmospheric live arrangement of this song.
Christy Moore - Ride On (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utbf_0q4kO4&feature=related)
Christy Moore - Viva la Quinta Brigada (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQbXO828Vio&feature=related)
If you ever get a chance to see CM live, take it while he's still around. Magical performer. The second of these vids gives you a taste of the amazing atmosphere at his gigs.
Jethro Tull - Songs From The Wood (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgUw6t3b6oE)
A deeply unfashionable band, but I still love 'em and such a great live act. Ian Anderson always makes me chuckle.
Tom Waits - Rain Dogs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVaEPx_VyXs)
Well you won't see this covered on the X-Factor!
Some classic Bjork and some more recent barking mad Bjork. Love 'em both.
Bjork - Hyperballad (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2r1Ji9_wPc)
Bjork - Crystaline (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HenF9xxAf28)
Grateful Dead - Birdsong (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYA16z2-xFg)
Yep I'm a Deadhead, and I'm not ashamed to say it! Totally unique band, never has been or ever will be anything like them.
Matt The Electrcian - Happy Ending (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvfEilgD7FM)
Matt The Electrician - Keep It There (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p35CDIwYf-w)
Someone I actually found out about via Youtube. His songs are a quirky mix of the bittersweet and dry humour.
Frazey Ford - Gospel Song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTkt0POaKpg)
I just love music stripped down to its rawest soul.
Little Feat - Rock n Roll Doctor (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEOlTZGuLKM)
One of the funkiest bands ever. Another tragic premature loss in Lowell George though.
Neko Case - Magpie To the Morning (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQVsCQTcdQI)
The vid has nothing to do with Neko Case, but it's a wonderfully surreal accompaniment.
Daniel Lanois - The Messenger (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Er1d2MtglWw)
Love the stripped down version of this song. For anyone into their guitar playing, check out his guitar tone during the solo. Classic Les Paul sound.
-
Good effort guys, I think I might have an enite evening of musical listening ahead of me! :)
-
Yup, great effort. Now I have lots to chomp my way through :)
-
love it! wish i checked this again sooner. love finding more music. keep sharing... looking at you Cern :P

King Crimson-One More Red Nightmare (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSKNOdkzJCI)
Dredg-Ode to the sun (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5V1BDKH3bo)
King Prawn-Poison in the Air (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88PYIeAq5TU)
Battle of Mice-Salt Bridge (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH7nY0RjCxc)
Jose Gonz?lez-All you deliver (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blJ5Wgs2sMw&feature=relmfu)
Julie Christmas-If you go Away (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fG0vr0fXjlc) Same vocalist as Battle of mice.. also has another band called Made out of Babies...
-
So I like some of the belgian stuff eko, Goose sounds pretty nice, and also The Black Box Revelation sound like they are heavily influenced by Manchester :) Interesting take on Nothing else matters too !
Cern - loved that Tom Waits song, I'll have to look up more. Not heard much about him before but he sounds like a nutter ! I also love The Cure and like Neil Young a fair bit (though there is way too much to collect of his!). I saw that Bjork performance on Jool's too, she is utterly bonkers :)
Dredg sound interesting Xan, but I have half a mind they sound allot like u2 (maybe the combination of the guys vocals and the delays on the guitar). That bassist from King Prawn is funny as anything :D (and very into his music lol!). Also love Jose Gonzalez, that was a really cool album.
Okay here's a few more for ya:
Gaslight Anthem - The '59 Sound (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOBb13yDnzo&ob=av3e)
Alexi Murdoch - Breathe (live) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYBRX8trVMM)
Netsky - Iron Heart (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4rt6Nxdm4Y) (Belgian dub step! right back at ya eko!)
Muse - Stockholm Syndrome (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXN9acC9edU&ob=av2n)
Levellers - Fifteen Years (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBI3kXm07rA)

Camo & Krooked - Cryptkeeper (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JT4QDnr8uA) (I really do love this whole song mmmmmnnnnnnn...... but that breakdown at 2.10 or so is awesome!!!)
