A band that i have come appreciate a lot recently, is The Doors. I love their lyrics, Morrison's voice and instrumental arrangements.

I have also been a great fan of Serge Gainsbourg (French singer/songwriter). Probably he is not well known in the USA but in Europe he still is very famous. He has very beautiful lyrics, IMO :



This is probably his most famous song. I think you will all know this :




And, he was also famous for, err, his "honesty and being straightforeward"... :

#41 + Sojourn of Arjuna by Dave Matthews Band + Béla Fleck and the Flecktones. It's maybe not the best performance from DMB, but #41 is an amazingly rich song, and I'm finally starting to appreciate how awesome Béla Fleck and the Flecktones are. (Am I the only one who finds Béla's hands totally hot?) It's worth the 30 minutes.
(part 1)
(part 2)
(part 3)

Here is a recent shorter version of #41 with just Dave and Tim Reynolds.



In My Life à la Dave Matthews at "Come Together" Lennon tribute a few weeks after 9/11. It's very special, methinks.



The Stone Dave solo on Charlie Rose. This is one of my favorite performances by anyone ever.

One of the most beautiful songs from the most beautiful album by the most beautiful band with the most beautiful haircuts to ever walk this planet:



"one day this chalk outline will circle this city" mmmmmm I am in love with their music
My favorite video out this moment. so simple... but great great great video. from a band that has been pretty lame and emo until now, but their new album is killer, out of nowhere: killer album. the song is even science related, yes, they indeed rhymed "entropy" haha yes


Amazing Zappa song, amazing video. amazing. — warning: operating a vehicle or heavy machinery after watching video is not recommended.


and last but not least...



:bugeye: being that gorgeous should not be legal...
... I'm told there's music to go along with her videos? ... all I know is I never thought I'd ever find a naked robot dancing inside a giant triangle attractive before.

for the hard rock fans, you can't miss filter's "hey man nice shot".

now that the smokes gone
and the air ways are clear
those who were right there
got a new kinda fear
you'd fight and you were right but they were just too strong
they'd stick it in your face and let you smell what they consider wrong
thats why i say hey man nice shot
what'a good shot man


for the mello fans there is peace orchestra's "the man"

there isn't much for lyrics except what sounds like a recorded phone call of a spanish guy at the end
http://www.radioblogclub.com/open/9...Peace Orchestra & Gotan Project - The Man

and "who am i" that's even more mello
http://www.radioblogclub.com/open/31210/peace_orchestra_who_am_i/Peace orchestra_who am i

another one of my favorites is left field's "swords". i could only find it on this anime video
as with all anime, this video contains graphic dismembering

My current favorite Who - Reign O'er Me
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBs8taB0vWU&mode=related&search=
The Pearl Jam Version of the same song. Not as good in my opinion. It feels like it is meant to be more raw and grainy, but is actually more... composed.

One of my favorite local bands in the Phoenix area, the Ghetto Cowgirl

I was reminded of this song when I heard a version of it played by a local Phoenix band Gloritone. I hadn't heard it since the 80's. I like this song. Your link seems to be dead. Here's a new one
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mo40aTe_3JM&mode=related&search=

Lately I'm more into bands like Wolfmother and Saliva

Wolfmother - Woman

Saliva - Always

Testament - The Legacy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96hWg3iFp5A"

Pantera - Cemetery Gates

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3T4sr8RSC4"

Cemetery Gates is my favorite Pantera song.

Here's some songs I wouldn't mind singing at a karaoke bar.

Styx - Renegade

Radiohead - Creep (clean version, not my favorite version. It's almost like he was pissed at not singing the song he wanted to sing. This version lacks the spirit of the original, but what can you do.)

Chris De Burgh - Lady in Red (sue me)

The Animals - House of the Rising Sun
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJ5axe65Ap8&mode=related&search=
Eric Clapton (& Mark Knopfler) Wonderful Tonight

Haha, thanks, that was cool. Do you ever listen to Tenacious D?

Also, I'm totally there with you on Lady In Red and Wonderful Tonight, though I might not always admit to liking the former either. EC is supah.

Don't specially like the video, but couldn't find anything better. It's the theme from the movie American Beauty, composed by Thomas newman.

It makes shivers go through my entire body every single time I listen to it.
