Note: These videos are posted by David Guetta himself on YouTube.com, so no copyright infringement here. Also, for Craig David.

I like a lot of club music (among many other types). David Guetta is definitely up there for me...

The following is Tomorrow Can Wait - David Guetta.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2zozfL2vf-U&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2zozfL2vf-U&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

This song is Love is Gone - David Guetta.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/beGjncfEPt8&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/beGjncfEPt8&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Another song you can try is My Dream is to Fly - David Guetta.

While another good guy for club music is Graig David. Obviously, you have the popular song Hot Stuff. But the following, is also good.

What's Your Flava - Craig David

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tV1kSq9vB9c&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tV1kSq9vB9c&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

For rock music, I like Chevelle. Songs you can try by them are Clincher, I Get It, Send Them Below and Vitamin K. You can find them on YouTube. The list of bands I like are long. Everything from heavy Shadows Fall and Atreyu to Foo Fighters and Smashing Pumpkins to American Rejects and Silverstein.

To me, it's the collection that makes it awesome. It would be nearly impossible to only pick 5-10 of them.

What other songs like "Since I've Been Loving You" (Led Zep.) are there? Or other good blues songs?

Hmm...not Zepplin, but Bob Dylan, "Knockin on Heaven's Door."

Christina, Andre: I have the highest respect for the contributions of both of you to the forum, and I have in no way the intention to insult you or hurt your feelings, in case you feel strongly about the kind of music you like. But: If your opinions stay unopposed, this fine thread might degenerate into a meeting place for opera-buffs, classical-music-buffs and who-knows-what-else-buffs !

Music is NOT about singing notes that other people cannot sing ! It is about sounds that massage your brain cells and make your neurons fire ! Please have a look at this https://www.physicsforums.com/showpost.php?p=1800580&postcount=746 post and you will understand what I mean (or so I hope) !
Sorry but, Britney spears' new music just makes my brain cells die.
That thing you posted wasn't even a song...the background was. I don't like rap either..well once in a while it's good but other than that 90% is eh... well most of the time I like will smith and then everyone else is the rest.

SSiFASGKjBI[/youtube] Great choice...nging. (The beginning part was funny though)

Ah, Russian composers. Prokofiev is my favorite. Here is "Montagues and Capulets." P.S.-wait for the good part...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RFq7cOVDF0

Just for arguments sake. Compare to John Williams "Imperial March;" I believe there is some inspiration there...

A beautiful Renaissance Chant.

http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_hb3394/is_3_54/ai_n28864423/pg_1?tag=artBody;col1
This strikes me as a lovely idea.

This is nice to watch too, with visuals appropriate for a physics forum.

It's beautiful, Fuzzyfelt, albeit that the cultural element may not be appriciated by everybody

I notice from the link:

Nuper rosarum flores has long been known to musicologists and historians of Florence as the brilliant isorhythmic motet commissioned from Guillaume Dufay for the dedication of the new Cathedral of S. Maria del Fiore on March 25, 1436

So how about other very old songs? Scarborough Fair is also rather aged with a rich story line.

Here the version of the Gregorian Masters of Chant, also a very old style of singing:

Thanks, Andre, for mentioning that about Nuper Rosarum Flores, I always seem to forget to mention important bits!

I think the music is wonderful in itself, and is music celebrating a fascinating moment in history and art, but also as the blurb by the YouTube poster says of the presentation, ‘I found it to be an interesting dichotomy placing such an old piece of music with images that appear futuristic but literally represent a glimpse back in time.’ And, as well, there is the investigation, first published in 1973, countered, and the counter, countered here, that the architectural mathematics of the Duomo (and other ideas included here) are used to create the music.

Thanks for posting ‘Scarborough Fair’, I have had to download it to make it portable, so I can wander away from the computer with it!

Viking metal is amazing. Check out Heidevolk, that's a great start.

We lost Levi Stubbs - a real talent. If you can remember the first time you heard this song on AM radio, you might be able to remember the rest of the '60s. I LOVED Motown!

That's a good video for that song, even if it's the wrong war. He wrote that song when he was stationed in Kosovo in '99 as an officer in the British military. Then again, if you strip away the reasons, I guess every war is pretty much the same.

Even though I wasn't around then, my mother was addicted to Motown. It definitely rubbed off on me.

Walker & The All Stars - Shotgun


GOT TO GIVE IT UP - MARVIN GAYE


Marvin Gaye "Ain't That Peculiar" live 1965


Stevie Wonder - Uptight (Everything's Alright)

Sabaton, 40-1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-z4DZF9pz2I

Hardly BSE, but they got a lot of publicity here lately for obvious reasons.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Wizna

Wiki article states that "The heroic struggle against overwhelming odds is nowadays one of the symbols of the Polish Defensive War of 1939 and is a part of Polish popular culture." IMHO that's not entirely true - battle was not popularly known prior to Sabaton song.

New favorite band (to add to all my other favorites: Rise Against, they're really good.

Oh, also, I must recommend Elliott Smith, he was really amazing, and had about 5 or 6 of his songs on the Good Will Hunting soundtrack.

I probably posted this already but was reminded this morning of John Denver, who was always a favorite of mine. This was surely one of his best songs:

Very beautiful - Annie's Song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C21G2OkHEYo

I always loved Calypso, which was dedicated to the work of Jacques Cousteau. Profits went to the Cousteau foundation.

Once again, a dreadful song...

I don't really know why I like this kind of stuff.

A song that I grew up to:

EverLast - What It's like
4z9f9Eybv4I[/youtube] Nothing amazing musically, but the lyrics are good in my opinion.
 
  • #893
Black Flag- Nervous Breakdown

Best musically? Not even close.
Best lyrically? Nope!

Had the biggest impact in my life? Check!

Possibly the opportunity to solve the clue for ‘evo’ occurred because Devo may not readily spring to mind for some, so to share, here is a favourite ‘freedom of choice’ -

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=I9hpMgKI_NU
( some wise words from this gem have been quoted previously at pf ).

And interestingly, Devo anagrammised(?) themselves, too, in a different way than Gokul did, when performing for the Church of SubGenius ( pre Flying Spaghetti Monster) as the pseudo Christian soft rock group, Dove (the band of love)-
