I got my mind set on you // George Harrison

I rediscovered this song recently, and it's so good 

Voodoo - Bassnectar

I'm in love with my car, by Queen

DONT SAY THE M WORD misc

not a song, but Infinite Jukebox

BUMP

this is a good song

I strongly recommend múm, Sigur Rós, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and Boards of Canada.

Sorry guys, my earphones died so I couldn't listen to any music for a couple of days. But I recently got a brand new pair, so I'm ready to go. Let's see what we've got here...

Heard it before - great song.    I've heard the entire Cloud Nine album before - really good stuff. George's pop/rock really transitioned well into the 80's.

Hmm, this is interesting. Kind of hip-hoppy, but also little elements of dubstep. It's definitely a cool and very cohesive mix - not exactly my style, but I'll come back to it.

Three days grace is really good. Linkin Park is also pretty good. They are probably 2 of my favorite bands.

Let's listen to one song from each. For Three Days Grace, I found "Last to Know". It's not that bad really. I know they're a post-grunge band, so this piano-led ballad maybe isn't exactly a good representative of their sound, but it's still pretty good. The melody is very nice - I especially like when the guitars come in.

Now for Linkin Park, I found "In the End". It's pretty good. It's nu-metal, if I'm correct, and I think it's a pretty interesting genre, mixing grungy hard rock with hip-hop elements. It's good - the chorus reminds me of Alice in Chains or Soundgarden. Hmm...GOLD STAR.

Great song. I have the album, it's one of my favorite records actually. I like how Roger's grittier voice and style contrasts with Freddie's more pomposity and Brian's laid-back, tounge-in-cheek point of view. Interesting how the song is sort of a comic portrayal of a materialistic. Of course, I've already heard the song quite a few times, so I can't give it a gold metal, but it's still a song I really like.

"Sylvia" from the amazing rock opera/concept album Hospice by the Antlers

Concept albums, eh? Awesome, some of my favorite records are concept albums. This song is pretty nice - definitely reminds of a more modern version of "The Wall". The buildup into the chorus is neat - the ringing, echoing guitars remind me of U2, and the offbeat vocals really do remind me of Roger's from "The Wall". I should check out this album. GOLD STAR.

A few bands, My Chemical Romance, Avenged Sevenfold, Fearless Vampire Killers and Blink-182.

All right, quite a few bands here. Once again, I'll listen to one song from each. For My Chemical Romance, I found "Teenagers". I heard of the band before, but never really listened to them. Man, was I missing out. This song is great. It has a sort of edge to it that reminds me of Aerosmith or the Stones. Guitar solo is awesome, too. GOLD STAR.

For Avenged Sevenfold, I found the song "Afterlife". I used to hear their song "Beast and the Harlot" all the time, because it was on Rock Band 3. It wasn't bad - it was dark, thrashy, sort of like Dio. I never heard this song, though. Well, for starters, I really enjoyed the orchestral intro, and how it's a bit like a shadowy foreshadowing to the main, guitar bit. Hmm...I think I might like this song a bit more, actually. The melody for the chorus is nice, it's more uplifting tone contradicting with the edgier verses. The orchestral breakdown in the middle is a nice addition, too. Not sure if gold star material, but I'll come back to it.

All right now for Fearless Vampire Killers. I found the song "Concede, Repent, Destroy". It's a pretty cool song. I like how it mixes metally guitars with more melodic melodies. Again, maybe not gold star material, but I might check out more stuff rom them.

All right, should check out the other songs a bit later.

I'm not going to link to videos though because they swear and stuff so yeah. Check them out.

Cool choices! I really like A7X!

My English teacher showed this to me today, and the whole class was speechless afterwards.
