In summary: I don't know what to choose.I like alternative and classic rock with a few random songs sprinkled in.I like this song. Its really cute.This Requiem of Spirit version is too epic for this world.Let's bring back retro 70's!In summary, the very talented 21 year old Norwegian singer and songwriter Sigrid received a DMCA request to take down the previous "Best songs ever" thread, so she started a new one. She says she cannot pick a favorite song or artist, and that there are too many good songs to choose from. She lists some of her favorite songs and performers, including Boston, Japan, and Paul Simon. She finishes the summary by saying that harmony was a creation of the bar

Not sure if DennisN or anyone else has posted this yet, but if no one hasn't...

This is a jaw-dropping, spectacular rendition of Michael Jackson's "Bad" by Billie Eilish. If there's any doubt of her artistry and talent, this video should blow them all to smithereens. It is stunning. It was as if she was channeling Amy Winehouse! :)

I hadn't heard that cover with her before, thanks for posting! I agree, it is stunning, a superb performance. She's got so much soul in her voice. They made it sound like an older song than it is, really cool!

With a vocal talent like hers, combined with the great songwriting skills together with her brother, they could be heading for a very successful career in the years to come. And in the future, I hope they continue to try to stay some distance away from the mainstream and instead go for their own experimental style. Which I think they will. :smile:

And another great performance by one of my new favorite bands, Chrvches (from Scotland):

One song that comes to mind is Gnarles Barkley's Crazy. There are some covers of it that give me the chills.




My favorite in classical is Chopin.




In Jazz, I like Art Tatum's playing.

And I like this song also. The part where the strings come in is great.

Chopin is great. I love the nocturnes too.

Here are two other piano pieces I love by Liszt and Grieg:

@david2

Flying in a Blue Dream (along with The Extremist and Crystal Planet) were some of my favorite albums growing up as a kid. I was never really into his vocal tracks that much, but Flying in a Blue Dream (the song) and Mystical Potato Head Groove Thing gave me many hours of frustrating guitar practice!

I've probably heard this song (and possibly the whole album) 500 times - I love the whole thing, but Allan Holdsworth's solo on this is one of my favorite ever! I sometimes just repeat this song over and over when I'm on the treadmill.


I generally go through 1-2 month periods where I listen to particular bands/artists a lot. Recently it has been Van Der Graaf Generator:


And Opeth
