i don't think lose yourself could be deemed one of the best songs of all time. i reckon it's going to be like the rest of the eminem stuff - it sounds good for a few months but you get tired of if fairly quickly. good to see someone mentioned blondie though.

by ed » Tue Jan 14, 2003 9:12 pm

true... eminem isnt really that special is he, just pumps out the occasinol song thats classic for 6 months (can anyone still listen to stan without changin track half way through) Jeff buckley is the legend and nobody can deny. Anyone heard colour blind by counting crows? tune

by **anonomous and lovin it** » Tue Feb 18, 2003 9:28 pm

True, I currently refuse tolisten to lose yourself so I'm gonna take it off the list. I like toxicity by system of a down, but give it 6 months and I might not! Some of Jakattas songs off visions are pretty cool too. I only have them on MD so I dont have the track names

Ok, I am new here, amd thinking about the best songs ever is really hard. So many to pick from!. Here are the few I can think of right now:

don maclean - american pie

That has to be one of the top 10 of all time

by **TheHairyGuy** » Fri Feb 21, 2003 10:45 pm

im with cba have no favorites because im a very impulsive person and to be honest i get bored easily. however, i can name favorite genres:

punk (political i.e. pennywise- also hardcore i.e. sick of it all)
psychadelic music (i.e. "mellow yellow")
ska (i.e. fun boy three)

these are my favorites though i can listen to just about anything but pop.

)
Skinny Puppy- Tormentor's Song
The Faint- Agenda Suicide
The Cure- Pornography
Magazine- Because You're Frightened

SP's pre-Rabies period is very overated imho. But Worlock is definatly one of my favourites.

by **Grave Disorder** » Sun Jun 29, 2003 2:32 pm

I think their earliest work was more consistent and accessible, but their mid-era stuff was best. VIVIsectVI was about the right combination of noise and experimentation with their earlier synthpop style for my taste.

by **Matthew E.** » Sun Jun 29, 2003 3:04 pm

Foo Fighter's- "Everlong"

I have never tired of listening to this song. One of the first songs I learned how to play on the guitar; still one of my favorites to play.

"So Lonely"- The Police. It makes me wish I could hit the high notes (or any note for that matter). Great song. I think what I like about this song so much is that it is so versatile; I can listen to it when I'm sad, upset, lonely (of course) and even happy. I think the same applies for "Everlong".

I'll have to disagree. Personally I think the later stuff was better, especially TDP and Last Rites. Are you familar with Gridlock? In a similar vein to SP but alot more electronic.

by **Grave Disorder** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 1:15 am

Afraid not, I'm fairly new to industrial.

by **Metavoid** » Fri Jul 04, 2003 9:08 pm

Some of my favourite songs:
Ministry - The Land of Rape and Honey
Ministry - So What
KMFDM - Meglomanic
SNOG - Human Germ
Dead Kennedys - Holiday in Cambodia
Napalm Death - Scum
Swans - In the Eyes of Nature
Autechre - Surripere
Gridlock - Voiceless

by **kesh** » Wed Jul 09, 2003 5:44 am

The Beatles - A day in the life (reminds me of Lisa my first love)
The Beatles - Been for the been of Mr K
Raging speedhorn - the gush (live)
The Clash - Londons calling
Nirvana - Heartshape box
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven
Oasis - Champaign supernova
Arch Enemy - The Immortal
American head charge - All wrapped up
Greenday - (time of your life) cant remeber what its called now
Coal chamber - loco

But thats just songs i slightly remember now, plus my music sense has changed. If we all had to come up with the top 5 song of our lifes, it would take days of self arguments.

to name a few. I mostly like stuff that has a good beat, but I also like some songs for the lyrics. I'm not sure what genres I like, but I know that I don't like Jazz or Opera at all. If you people know what genres the top 5 in my list would come under could you say? I know the last guy wanted to cut the thread, but I put this in because it fits in so well in this thread, and it hasn't been locked yet.

I like all sorts of songs for example songs from musicals (And all that Jazz, Summer Loving, Hey Big Spender) football songs (Hail Hail, You'll Never walk alone) and Chart/Ex-chart songs from '60s to now (Sk8ter Boi, Uptown girl and some Beatles and Abba) I like songs that make you think (Hotel California).

I dislike a lot of songs too. I don't like Classical music because I don't understand it, some football songs (such as Simply The Best, a lie within song form sung by Rangers fans :wink:

) and I also dislike heavy metal because I don't understand the purposes of the songs - the lyrics are sung very loudly) and sometimes they make my headache worse if I have one

.

I don't like songs that are written to shock but I don't mind it if they're written for another purpose but do shock, for example political songs (I only like political songs if they are within keeping of my own politics, this may be narrowminded but it's true.)
