like when you first hear them, you have to listen to the whole song and you dont want it to be over and the first thing on your mind after hearing them is "i got to download this."

this is my list ( i mostly listen to metal, but these are generalized, songs i think everybody would like, not just me):
red hot chili peppers - californication
haddaway - what is love?
europe - the final countdown (covers are better than original)
lynyrd skynyrd - sweet home alabama
ozzy - crazy train
blue oyster cult - dont fear the reaper, burning for you
jimi hendrix - burning of the mid night lamp
allman bros. - sweet mellisa
the band - the weight
audioslave - be your self
bad brains - pay to cum
the misfits - fiend club

red hot chili peppers - californication


I hate californiacation, purely because my mates ruined it for me.
I don't like much of red hot chilli peppers stuff.

Aeroplane is a great song however.

The Kingsmen - Louie Louie


That is all.

Holy fuck that is one terrible list OP.

And honestly, isn't this just a "Your Favorite Songs" thread in disguise?

But if you want a list of songs I play endlessly and never get tired of:

VNV Nation - Standing
Sigur Ros - Untitled 7
Smashing Pumpkins - Disarm
Faunts - M4 Part 2
Dinosaur Jr. - Out There
65daysofstatic - Another Code Against The Gone
Radiohead - Exit Music (For a Film)
Dismantled - Exit
Tool - Lateralus
Massive Attack - Angel
Deftones - Change (In The House of Flies)
Silversun Pickups - Future Foe Scenarios
Beck - Lost Cause
Nine Inch Nails - The Becoming
Placebo - Special K
Okkervil River - Another Radio Song
The Jesus and Mary Chain - Just Like Honey
Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart


These are songs that sold me on the band the first time I heard them, that I played on repeat for days because I loved them so much, that truly spoke to me during rough times, or that stand out as one of the best from an artist I've listened to everything by over and over again.

Honestly, I'm more of an album guy. If an artist can't make a truly great album that floors me from start to finish, fuck 'em, they're not worth my time.

i dont think youve heard all the songs on my list because judging by your list we listen to a lot of the same stuff.

this be not 2 u, but u can reafd2

and also, anyone who doesnt think the song what is love is good is lieing to them selves.

it gets old when its over played, but it is an awesome song.

i hang out w/ people who listen to straight hardcore/deathcore shit and even they think its good.

and i live in the deep south, and i even know of rednecks who think that its good.

but i listen to just about everything, and im not just one of those people who say that either.
the only things i dont listen to are like gospel, and rap... but some is ok.

We Will Fall Together - Streetlight Manifesto
The Dirt Whispered - Rise Against
Angry Dance - Angry Banana
Beer - Reel Big Fish
Maxwell Murder - Rancid
Gang Control - Leftover Crack
Waiting on an Angel - Ben Harper
No Woman No Cry - Bob Marley
Nutshell - Alice In Chains
American Pie - Don McLean
Fertile Crescent - Bad Religion
Pharmacist's Daughter - NOFX
Strictly Rude - Big D and the Kids Table
Mr. Tambourine Man - Bob Dylan
Coppers In Force - The Devotchkas
People Are Strange - The Doors
Not Alone - All That Remains
Panda King - Fatter Than Albert
99 Red Balloons - Goldfinger cover
Down, Down, Down To Mephisto's Cafe - Streetlight Manifesto.
The Last Day on Earth (live/acoustic) - Marilyn Manson

Yep. I'm a ska-whore. I think my happiest music moment was either seeing RBF, or when I first got my bass.

i dont think youve heard all the songs on my list because judging by your list we listen to a lot of the same stuff.

I've listened to 80% of that list and it ranges from cliche, to trite, to downright awful.

What is Love? An awesome song? I'll give you that it's fucking hilarious, but you seriously listen to it with a straight face? The Final Countdown, seriously? That's even sillier than What is Love. There's both of those songs were used on comedy shows to great effect, What is Love on SNL and The Final Countdown on Arrested Development. They're cheesy as fuck, quintessential pop songs that have nothing worthwhile to say.

Then you go on to list some of the most overplayed songs known to man, shit that might have been alright for about 5 minutes back when they come out, but now, after being used in car commercials and KFC ads just end up sounding like gears turning in the corporate marketing machine.

About the only song I can agree with you on is Don't Fear the Reaper, but even that is overplayed. Burning for You is decent as well.

And Audioslave? Seriously? One of the worst bands to appear in the last ten years.

Since when do songs have to mean anything?

You're clearly the kind of person who listens to 'real' music, right?
Very open minded.

I listen to a wide variety of music, and I don't have a problem listening to music that isn't exactly intellectual (I dig Electric Six), but we're talking about "What Is Love?" and "The Final Countdown" here. Two songs that are just cheesy and insipid. There's nothing wrong with enjoying them, but putting them on a list of truly amazing songs that you want to listen to over and over again is just retarded.

They're both uplifting, feel-good songs.
Btw, if you look at the top of the page, it says 'awesome', not truely amazing.

They're both uplifting, feel-good songs.

Maybe to you, but thematically neither is an "uplifting song". And even if they were, that doesn't make them any less cheesy and insipid, or any less out of place on a list of "awesome songs you don't want to end". Sure, this all comes down to taste, but anyone seriously arguing that these two songs are deserving of such praise has none.

Btw, if you look at the top of the page, it says 'awesome', not truely amazing.

You want to argue semantics? Alright, I'll oblige.

Explain to me the difference between awesome and amazing?

Here, I'll even give you a sample scenario for context:

Billy does a wheelie on his motorcycle.

Ted says "Wow, that wheelie was awesome Billy!"

Dave says "Wow, that wheelie was truly amazing Billy!"

Have Ted and Dave expressed a different sentiment?

867-5309 - Only because it's been stuck in my head for about a month now, I don't even know who plays it.

Sitting, Waiting, Wishing - Jack Johnson
Float On - Modest Mouse
Stigmata - Ministry
The Headmaster's Ritual - The Smiths
Meat Is Murder - The Smiths
Date Rape - Sublime
Kiss Off - Violent Femmes
Add It Up - Violent Femmes

Maybe to you, but thematically neither is an "uplifting song". And even if they were, that doesn't make them any less cheesy and insipid.

They are both very vocal songs, they make people want to sing.

Awesome = really good.
Amazing = exceptional, hard to beat.

haddaway - what is love?
blue oyster cult - dont fear the reaper, burning for you

Uh, yeah, you're gay. What Is Love is so redundant its retarded. And way to pick the most cliché Blue Öyster songs you could think of. I loathe Don't Fear the Reaper because faggots like you just know the song from Saturday Night Live.


Blue Öyster Cult - 7 Screaming Diz-Busters
Global Deejays - Sounds of San Francisco
Dead Kennedys - I Am the Owl
GWAR - We Kill Everything
Queen - Dead On Time

They are both very vocal songs, they make people want to sing.

Maybe "What is Love", but "The Final Countdown" is carried by it's main hook more than it's vocals.

Awesome = really good.
Amazing = exceptional, hard to beat.

Wrong.


Awesome:

1. inspiring awe: an awesome sight.
2. showing or characterized by awe.
3. Slang. very impressive: That new white convertible is totally awesome.

Amazing:

1. causing great surprise or sudden wonder.

In fact, going by the actual definitions of the word, Awesome actually has more gravity to it than Amazing.

Maybe you should just stop posting now? It's obvious you don't know shit about shit.

Haha, this is kind of funny because a lot of people know "What Is Love" from SNL as well.

So you've heard of this thing called google, right?
I thought so, your post reeks of google-smart.

What about Google?

What about Google?

your post reeks of google-smart.

Read. Know. Shut the fuck up.

And again, what about Google?

Metaform- Sunday
Amon Tobin- Slowly
Aphilas- The dubbed coil of Smoke
Joe Beats- Doing the Nothing
People Under the stairs- Acid Raindrops
Thes one- Pan Am 1
Dj Krush- Sun is Shining
Blue Sky Black Death- Different Hours
Boards of Canada- everything you do is a balloon

People Under the stairs- Acid Raindrops

hell yea

And again, what about Google?

Okay, so now that you have nothing to say you can stop posting.
:cool:

Okay, so now that you have nothing to say you can stop posting.

Except what you said was pointless, and had no bearing on anything. What does Google have to do with anything I posted?

Oh that's right, fuck all.

what is love is not popularized by SNL, its popularized by the movie "a night at the roxburry"

also to the guy whos said i picked cliche blue oyster cult songs:
if you read the most then youll see that i said songs that are awesome the first time you here them, and if you listen to BOC then you probably thought dont fear the reaper was awesome the first time you heard it.

also, a lot of people like the song "dont stop believing" by journey, most associate it with family guy (most who had never heard it before that). it is my class song. i would have chosen "cut you up w/ a linoleum knife", but at least its not "graduation" by better than ezra.

dont stop believin is very awesome, awesome enough to inspire a majority of people to pick a non-gay graadution song, like "graduation." when a song like that sways the minds of stuck up preppy people, its got to be good.

those kinds of kids dont listen to anything like that. they mostly listen to the "top 10".

also, i know my list contains a lot of "over played" songs, but if they werent awesome, they wouldnt have been over played.

a night at the roxbury was based off an SNL skit.

Except what you said was pointless, and had no bearing on anything. What does Google have to do with anything I posted?

Oh that's right, fuck all.

Because you blatently got your comebacks by searching on google.
Thus, google-smart.
Like booksmart.
Or streetwise.
Yes?

Do I need to break it down even further for your simple mind?

What the fuck are you even talking about? What "comebacks" did I get from Google?

The only thing I got from a website was the definitions of the words "Awesome" and "Amazing" (since you were obviously quite unclear on what they meant) which I got from Dictionary.com. How does that have anything to do with Google?

The fact of the matter is you got your sorry ass owned, and now the best you've got to save face is "LOL WELL YOU DIDN'T EVEN MAKE YOUR INSULTS UP YOU GOT THEM FROM GOOGLE!!!1!!".

Seriously, just stop posting, you look like even more of a whiny, butthurt retard every time you do.

Oh, and it's spelled blatantly. When you're talking about what kind of smarts someone has, and what a "simple mind" they have, maybe you should be sure to spell correctly in your post?

Colour - color.
:rolleyes:

Blatently is not an acceptable way of spelling the word no matter where you are from.

It's not spelled blatently in the UK, it's not spelled blatently in the US.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you're just stupid.

Did you use Google to find out you were wrong about "blatently" (sic) being another way to spell blatantly?

I bet you did ;).

No, I used dictionary.com.
What's this about google?
:p

I would say your posts reek of Google smart just to be witty, but frankly they don't reek of any kind of smart so that would be a bold-faced lie.

How about you just shut the fuck up and stop posting just to get the last word in.
I tried to make light of the situation and have a laugh with you (not at you) but you're being bitter and petty so I'm not going to come back in here.

I'm making the light of the situation too, though.

I'm having fun with this, why aren't you :(?

We share some of the same tastes, good list.
I agree in part that if an artist can't make a great album, they aren't worth much time, that being said...there are those artists that sometimes pop out these little amazing gems from who knows where. But yah, if an artist isn't goin to take the time and effort to really do there best when creating something, it kind of ruins it for me.

a few of mine are..

Deftones - Be Quiet And Drive
A Perfect Circle - Judith
A Perfect Circle - Wake The Dead
Deadmou5 - Faxing Berlin
Aphex Twin - Window Licker
Pink Floyd - Time
Tool - Reflection
Tool - Rossetta Stoned
Mike Monday - The Grace
Boris Brejcha - **** off
Open Hand - Her Song(don't like this band really, but this is an amazing song)
Emerson Lake & Palmer - From The Beginning

I'd also like to add Green Day's Dookie, just because it was the first CD I ever bought after hearing When I Come Around on the radio.

As much as I hate to attempt to interrupt an ongoing flame war...

Please do not blast me too much before you actually get a chance to hear and listen to: Spaceship Orion by the Ozark Mountain Daredevils.

If it does not leave you wishing for more, nothing will.
