Heheh. Just foolin' around with you. But seriously-- if you're into dark/melancholy music, have you listened to Radiohead much? The Verve? Smashing Pumpkins? Black Rebel Motorcycle Club? The Black Heart Procession? Pink Floyd?

Didn't care too much for Pink Floyd, kind of liked Radiohead. Never listened to the rest .

 

[hypnagogue]

Well, what Radiohead and Pink Floyd have you heard?

Very long time ago... I remember liking it, but nothing besides that really.

Sublime, beethoven, metallica, the doors, the eagles, elvis, and a bunch of others I can't think of right now. Have any of you heard of Sublime?

 

[Sting]

I'd like to see the names of a few individual songs given, along with the artist or group, so I could go about trying to listen to it.

Led Zeppelin - Trampled Underfoot
Led Zeppelin - Achilles Last Stand
Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy
Led Zeppelin - Kashmir
Rage Against the Machine - Vietnow
Rage Against the Machine - **** tha Police (NWA cover)

Clutch - Animal Farm
Clutch - Rock and Roll Hounddog
Clutch - I have the Body of John Wilkes Booth
Tool - Prison Sex
Tool - Parabola
Bob Marley - Jammin'

I can go on and on so I'll stop here.

Misfits are ok, as long as u like old british bands that like yelling, "i aint no goddamn son of a *****"

The Misfits are from New Jersey, not Britain.

Hypnagogue, Andy, zoobyshoe, and Sting….Phew

Thank you for the artist/song combinations. Some I have heard before, the others I will make a point to listen to.

I like Sublime lots. Just not enough to put them in the upper echelon of my lists, and the upper echelon is probably all I can afford to talk about before people start tuning me out.

 

[Descartes]

About 60% classical from any of the periods except for contemporary, 30% of the "trance" (if that's indeed what it is) genre (e.g. Delerium, Paul Oakenfold, Paul van Dyk, DJ AnyoneThatSoundsGood), and about 10% of random songs from various genres.

 

[einsteinian77]

I can't see how you can put Sublime anywhere but in the upper part of your list. They have a bunch of good songs and quite a lot of very good songs. It's too bad the front man died he was a genius at what he did.

 

[Sting]

Just to add a few:

Breaking Point - One of a Kind
The Wallflowers - Sleepwalker
Tom Waits - Union Square
Thin Lizzy - The Rocker
The Sex Pistols - Submission
REM - Pop Song 89
Soundgarden - My Wave*
Rage Against the Machine - Guerilla Radio
Rage Against the Machine - Down Rodeo
Pink Floyd - Time**
The Misfits - London Dungeon
The Misfits - Hollywood Babylon
Metallica - Sanitarium
Metallica - Until It Sleeps
Killing Joke - Kings and Queens
Killing Joke - Follow the Leaders

Sting's notes
* chorus isn't so great but the rest of the song is pretty cool
** kick ass solo
