The discussion revolves around the revival of a "Best Songs Ever" thread, which was previously removed due to a DMCA request. Participants share their favorite songs and artists, with a notable mention of the Norwegian singer Sigrid, whose powerful performances have garnered significant admiration. Other artists discussed include Kendrick Lamar, KSHMR, and classic rock bands like Boston and Yes. The conversation touches on the emotional impact of music, with several users expressing their experiences of goosebumps during live performances. There is also a debate about the historical context of musical harmony and its evolution, alongside discussions of various genres, including rock, hip-hop, and electronica. The thread serves as a public jukebox for users to share and discover music, with a focus on both contemporary and classic tracks.

Jean Marsh was very creative. She was Rose in UD but directed? Not sure

I amazed to see her when I went from twilight Zone to UD stairs.

These two are kind of Doo Wop style music .Probably never made it to Europe and did not make it past the British invasion: Alot of singers in this style looking for work then.This style still carries on in certain "cult" groups in the U.S. as in the lowriders scene And I sure like it.

I just heard this song on the radio and immediately liked it.
Delightful to my ears, nice groove, cool synths and great vocals, I think.
Very dreamy. And pretty cool video too.

Röyksopp - 'Oh, Lover' ft. Susanne Sundfør (Official Visualiser)


(I've heard other good songs by Röyksopp, they have a nice sound, I think)

Unlike U.S. pop , rock and roll, Doo wop. Motown was not shut down with the British invasion. The rolling stones and Beatles covered various motown and soul music.

Two really good songs recently released by two different Swedish artists:
(both sung in English)

Cornelia Jakobs - Rise (Official Audio)
- this is a really good song in my opinion. Very tricky, it starts quite lowkey, but it builds, and builds and builds.
And some of the high note vocals that eventually come send shivers down my spine :smile:.



...and here's a great acoustic live version (with some marvellous high notes too):

Cornelia Jakobs - Rise / live i P3 Session


Artist: Cornelia Jakobs

Another good song, this one by the quite famous Swedish duo First Aid Kit:

First Aid Kit - Palomino (Official Video)
- marvellous vocals in this one too. When I first heard the song I immediately liked the drum pattern. It wouldn't surprise me if they got somewhat inspired by Tom Petty's "Don't Come Around Here No More", which has a quite similar drum pattern. That Tom Petty song is one of my all-time favorites, by the way.


Artist: First Aid Kit

Another wonderful track by the Norwegian electronica duo Röyksopp.
Instrumental and quite modest, but very atmospheric and with a lovely sound.
It has become one of my favorites.
