Okay so basically someone recommends a song by giving a Youtube link or something. Then the person below has to listen to the song. Give opinion or rating, then recommend their own ^__^.

Great way to hear new music =].

Here goes:

Anathema - Are you there?

http://youtube.com/watch?v=cf-as9rDie0

ooh good idea.

I quite enjoyed it, very easy listening. I was surprised actually because when it first started I was expecting it to be some churchy type song. So i'll give it a 7/10

My song

Gavin Degraw - Belief (storm don't you be rating this one because I know you quite like it already!)

http://youtube.com/watch?v=-eh3YfpRVTg

Edit, this was to Nina:

I don't know whether we're meat to rate it on how much we like it personally or whether we're rating it musically.

I'm afraid to say I didn't enjoy the song, firstly it sounded too depressing and that is not really what I look for in music. Because I wasn't into the lyrics I had to listen to the instrumentals which didn't have much development through the song and any development took soooo long I couldn't stand it. So 3/10 for me.

I listen to all sorts of music, e.g. rock/alternative/punk/happy hardcore/hard trance/house/classical/HipHop/RnB/rap/lounge/metal/indy so I'm not being bias I just really didn't like that song.

I recommend this song (http://youtube.com/watch?v=i0leFvyLEF8) out because it is so contrasting with the previous one also if you're into Happy Hardcore it's absolutely amazing.

I'll do Harry's too if I can beat the next person to it to try restore the natural order of things:

I'm gonna rate this 7/10, it's not the best I have my bass on minimum at the moment cos everyone's sleeping so that's probably making it sound a bit flat. I also love Gavin DeGraw's Chariot so I may be being a wee bit bias.

Sorry Peter, not to offend the Don here, but not my kinda song. Maybe it's too late to hear such loud music :smile:

I have to rate it 5/10 because I don't want to wake my mum up by putting volume up so high! (hope this doesn't prevent me being a mod! :biggrin: )


My choice is a very gloomy song but very emotional and hard hitting.

Richard Ashcroft never said what inspired this song but many believe it was influenced by the death of his father on a drugs overdose as a child.

I must have been 12 at the time, and never really understood the meaning behind the song at the time but over time you start to understand what he feels and the message it gives.

Only spent one week at top spot due to the unfortunate death of Princess Diana.

7/10.

I'm not musically talented in any way, so this is purely uneducated opinion, but although its a good song it loses marks for me for being over played when it was released. Heard it a bazillion times. Tis a tad depressive, but due to the subject matter you can hardly fault it for that.

How about this one:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=MwyPI-zKqRs

(I don't think its that great musically tbh - another straight to advert offering from the king of commercials music, but the video rocks :D )

Ugh Moby.

5/10.

Im just not into techno.

How 'bout this one folks.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PesAZpWAnlw

Who is that by?

Not my kind of music is I am into Rap/Hip-Hop/R'n'B/Urban music.

5/10

KARDINAL OFFISHALL ft AKON - DANGEROUS

http://youtube.com/watch?v=kFeaqB-AAMo

Not my favourite Akon song though but it'd probably grow on me so 7/10. I'll try not to genre hop too much so let's get some Gang Starr on:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=U76Nde6rMTw

Edit: I'm debating in my head whether or not to move this thread to Forum Games cause it's a bit spammy...

Gang Starr....Old skool Hip-Hop, very nice choice Peter.

9/10



Donnie J - Rolling Stone


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jig5PBXpq1Q

I love it Zach :biggrin:

Keep sending me more files . . . music files :smile:

9/10 sweeeett

This song doesn't only blast your ears off but it's a joy to sing to.

Plus the vid had go to be one of the best!

Fast cars and scantily dressed women :biggrin: (you know where to send your complaints grannies! )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiU7o7hRJmE

El Nino - Hehe I know this song already and I like it! =D.. It's danceable wee *jiggles* =P 8/10..

2.0 - Hahahaha. Rick Roll'd T.T..

Hmmm...

Jason Mraz - I'm yours

http://youtube.com/watch?v=EkHTsc9PU2A

EDIT: To answer your questions Pete.. You can say anything you like about the song, just give an opinion.

It's not really a spam thread in my opinion. I mean, you have to spend 4 minutes listening to the song so it takes longer to form a reply than most threads :P. This section of the forum is dead anyway. Allow it to run! =D

Ooooh That's a great song! I might have to look a bit more into that...

Was it on a TV commercial... seems familiar?

I was going to put this http://youtube.com/watch?v=1P_Zfrfb1oo here... but the video doesn't do the nice little trance number justice....

So I'll pick this instead....

http://youtube.com/watch?v=yNSpLqmY6K0

Spent more time dancing to these than watching the vids. :razz: lol

Glad you liked it! =DD...

Hehe I remember this song! :D:D... *dances with you* ^__^... I'll give it 9/10 just because I haven't heard it so long!

Alright well, I think everyone knows this. But just to put a smile on the next person's face. Here's something a little more light hearted =D...

http://youtube.com/watch?v=jHPOzQzk9Qo

Classic Monty :) Has to be 10/10 :P
I always have a laugh from this even tho its been around for a while most of you will of heard and seen it :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xEzGIuY7kw

2.0's song was very solid (8.5/10) ;P - as was nina's (10/10) :D
lol @ white and nerdy...nice ;D
I don't really want to rate any other songs because I'd feel silly rating someone's all-time-favorite song...a 0.5/10 :rolleyes:

Hm...take your pick!

If you want a good laugh, the video for Funky Town always cracks me up..
http://youtube.com/watch?v=3BiuttQl0xM

This video is fantastic in many ways (esp. around 1:35)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=5DrsK9ccBzY

Anddddd if you're by any chance a Mulan and college A Cappella lover...
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Vr7mfC6gsFU

As per the request of the post author I have deleted the posts that did not rate/offer an opinion of the song posted last. Sorry about this folks but she did request it in the initial post.

Seeing as this is more forum game format than conversational I have also moved this thread to forum games. This should help keep the format of thread.

So from now on please rate/offer the opinion on the song posted above before posting your recommendation! Thanks.

5/10
3/10
6/10
sorry, I just don't like them.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vjQsv0nrDU
Man, that is fun-ny!

1/10 even with the video that was aweful!

GPS by Basshunter (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4up-vjl-dM&feature=related) - fantastic

6/10

I dont really like Techno.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qj0KeBxLy9Y

Ah I love it! 8/10 Would like to here the studio version though!

Collective Soul - Perfect to Stay (http://www.g2p.org/res/index.html) audio quality doesn't do it justice :(

Ah I love it! 8/10 Would like to here the studio version though!

Must be contagious :smile:

edit: oh but you put the url, doh!

I like it. Very catchy! 7/10

Marianas Trench - Shake Tramp (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ywmxh8BnMHM) Warning: Mild swearing/cursing/cussing whatever you call it...

Awesome band and great video!

Ah... :eek: unless that was meant to be a parody of something, I have to say it was a little too off-center for me. So sorry, but it's a 5.5/10 from me.

The Animal Song - Savage Garden (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_15ZrZXhXe8)

Ah... :eek: unless that was meant to be a parody of something, I have to say it was a little too off-center for me. So sorry, but it's a 5.5/10 from me.

The Animal Song - Savage Garden (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_15ZrZXhXe8)

It's not really my type of song, but I wouldn't say it's awful. So i'll give it a modest 5.5/10.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xY-YFRGM7fI

I'm quite addicted to this song at the minute so I thought I'd post it.

I like that song...9/10

I pick: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YfobabpB3s

8/10 for me ...

and mine .. Weird Al again http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsfVw9xxoNY

9/10 I love Wierd Al

Ok, this was my favorite song for a loooong time when I was a teenager

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiSkyEyBczU

I liked it, but I wouldn't listen to it very often at all. It's not the most interesting or exciting song, but I like some of the guitar parts, and most of it seems to fit together. sweet and simple. 7/10

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=N9kQ5yBYBWg

Ahh good song from a great albumm.. 7.5/10

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=MPJJSCFdVd0

I like the video and the song goes well with it but not something I'd usually listen to... 6/10

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=8hfQ5uIKrlw

7/10. It has a good beat to it. The video is quite good too.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=FfZUxPF7AMI

It's alright. I guess it's been overplayed which is why I'm not an amazing fan, but it is well put together. 6.7/10

Mew - She Spider (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Foimnm0JxUU)

Eep, the lyrics in that song scared me :(I didn'tt likee it 5/10...

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=n7mMoc-x_v0

Not exactly my cup of tea but I've certainly heard a lot worse from that genre .. 7/10

Buckcherry - Sorry (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=8OhVwUPK6cY)

(I don't think they're even known over here in the UK, so sorry if they're over exposed in the US already)

Oh no!! Not the llama song... :cry: It's for kids. :smile:

Sturm und Drang - Break Away (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=52y43dkZ-7Q)

Bleach, grease and power chords. I quite liked it (although the audio quality of that video isn't so good). :D 7/10

Muse - Newborn (live) (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=oRzTDLazKIE&feature=channel)

I've always liked that song :) I can't rate music too well if I don't have other songs to grade it against, so I'd like to keep it at that. (Allll right... 7.8/10 then)

Here's my contribution: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKSNtxIq7Ws

Mmm not quite my style Nay, 5/10
It took me ages to think of what song to recommend, but I'm going through a massive KOL stage right now so http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=gHzDSmav0NM :)

lol the screaming was terrible and scared me but music was k, so i give it a 5.5/10. :S

uhm i dont know, I RARELY listen to music..... so um ...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJiq2Xq6u_I&feature=related

Oh my, you chose the wrong song for me lol.. I have a strong distaste for anything Avril Lavigne so unfortunately that gets a big fat 0/10 for me! Lol... nothing personal XP

I'll go for something a bit light and fluffy this time? http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=_XC2mqcMMGQ

It was pretty good and certainly light and fluffy: 7/10

Habib Koité - Batoumambé (http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=DAmxXizTKSY)

Ooh, nice choice, I like Habib Koité. :) Umm, I dunno marks of 10, just call it "very good", hehe.

RJD2 - De L'Alouette (http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=pCexGqc3qrY)

Had never heard of him/her/them; but that's a really cool song :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PnNrtUTwa4
Only you, by Portishead

Oooh very nice!! I liked that song a lot, sick as clip too. 9/10

Okay I couldn't leave this thread alone without throwing in some of my favs :) http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=aa_1hVJHccU (ignore the dodgy home made video clip XP)

Quite boring, but did give me an idea of what to recommend next (even though I've been listening to little else for a few months now). Also, I can't think of any reason why Jesus would make a good subject of a song... 5/10

Modest Mouse - Dashboard (http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=AMryBJiGGqY)

Not bad, but didn't stand out to me (7/10)

Hole in the Earth by the Deftones (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihHGAMcExPY)

There's one with the proper video, too, but the sound sucks

Ummm well I didn't findd that song to be interesting or nice to listen too 4/10...

Ahh I have this song stuck in my head right now...
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=vs1DX32t38c

I like some Radiohead stuff, but this one doesn't do anything for me; 6/10


Here's Mae - The Sun and the Moon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFNxzKXxgwc&feature=related)
Sorry about the video; it's the only YouTube vid that has the full song :P

9/10 I love the piano in it. :)

More piano songs. ^.^ Granado Espada Main Theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2eoN8tJVIY)

Very soothing and light, and I love the piano!... 7/10

Beaux Dimanches (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tVwSZ6dsFI)

Ooh It's hard not to like that song, I wish I knew what they were singing about though. The video was fun for me too, it reminded mee of Kampala a bit.. 7/10

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrMmr1oMPGA !_!
