That is my favorite by him.

I’m 16 and I love the classics and some of the new music.

16! my lad is older than that! I am one of those older people who thinks they can reference good music and change your world!

thats the it worked for me. Great - you like songs from the wood already? You must be a smart lad ( what did I expect really on a physics forum!)

Great stuff

Another few movie themes from the same album. The singer is Mike Patton, best known perhaps from Faith No More



What have they done to its eyes?

That was very strange and sinister. The Omen and Rosemary's baby scared the hell out of me as a kid.

Just about everything in this video is horrible, its like having a fever induced nightmare as a kid. Twisted distorted diseased perverted evil..make it stop!

Powerful though!

Ian Anderson said he never took drugs but its hard see how that's correct watching this. 3.06 Is what I think insanity looks like OR lots of drugs.

He is acting for the video! Great stuff! The other guys are pretty laid back.

And two good songs by Portishead:



I know nothing about this band apart from the name, just shows great music can pass you by if yuo don't have your ears open. I will be looking into this band, I will feedback but sounds very interesting so far.
 


A little bit of trivia, the guitarist for Queen was also an astrophysicist for NASA.

He left his PhD to join Queen in the early 70s, I don't think he ever worked for NASA he was finally awared his doctorate over 30 years after his degree

You could do a whole thread on this, movie themes best music from a film best classical arrangement for a film...here is a quick three that spring to mind



 
Spinnor said:






I can't find the last one, its Debussy from the "The Birds" Hitchcock Tippi Hedren so youl have to take my word for it

You posted this Handel early doors, Its an epic piece of music (if a little repetitive here and there!)
 
how'd I miss this!?

The ones that have the film as the avatar are not correct - this is the proper one

Sorry, you’re correct. I did some research he didn’t work for NASA, but he was a collaborator on the New Horizons probe.

This song has a very unique sound, but it’s my favorite song by Rush.



And I’ll also add a song by Pink Floyd.

Queen not Rush? I need to know which Rush song now!

Floyd are brilliant- so many to choose from.

A tear jerker. I had my heart ripped out once and refused to ever fall in love again. I remain single to this day.
