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.

Sounds like the sort of band I should have listened to. Some research required.

Very cool! :biggrin:
Yes, I know about them. I remember that it was one of my music friends that played them/him to me, and I liked it a lot. If I remember correctly, I think the 13th floor Elevators was one of the first psychedelic rock bands, but you may know more about it perhaps...

And here are two more tracks by Roky Erickson that I think are really, really good:

Thanks a lot, Evo, I had not heard it before, I liked it very, very much! I'm currently listening to similar kind of music, so I'm going to check Børns out. The sound reminded me of something else, but I don't know what at the moment, but if I remember I will post it. :smile:

speaking of 60s...there was a vid of Vietnam with Gimmi Shelter playing with it.
Gimme Shelter is a definite favorite of mine. :smile:

There was a good Swedish rock band called The Soundtrack of Our Lives which had a song with an intro that was heavily influenced by Gimme Shelter. The song is good in itself, I think:

"Firmament Vacation":


Two more songs by the band:

"Mantra Slider":

"Instant Repeater '99":

Yes, he regretfully did. He was a great musician and songwriter. If you're interested I would recommend the album Superunknown, it is a very good rock album in my opinion. And also e.g. the Audioslave tracks I am the Highway, The Last Remaining Light, Like A Stone . Very emotional though, but very good songwriting, I think. Some discography links: Soundgarden - Discography, Audioslave - Discography.

Oh by the way, you liked that song? Chris Cornell said he wrote the song in about 15 minutes :biggrin::
Interview said:
"Generally, the songs I've been most proud of have been the least likely ones. It's weird: I wrote Black Hole Sun in about 15 minutes and it was a big hit, but I've spent weeks and weeks on other songs that weren't."

I finally pinpointed what it reminded me of, the musician Washed Out. An example:


There is a US web radio station which often plays similar music like Børns, and the name of the station is Area 54 (link: http://area54.fm/ ). They are also quick to play new artists and songs, and I have discovered much good music thanks to that station :biggrin:.

You are in the wrong country, which one would that be?

Such a close ally to the U.S. and YouTube won't let you watch/listen, shame on them. Some legal reason I guess?

Yes strange, Bach and Vivaldi are ok though, no commercial value perhaps? I can watch lectures for free by Leonard Susskind and Edward Witten too.
You posted some physics music connections to begin with and you missed an obvious one out but I think it may not have been released in the states.

Its quite odd but I liked it at the time

I think we are safe classical music

This is one of the most uplifting pieces of music I have ever heard, it makes want to get on a horse ride a horse into battle and I am terrified of horses! (headphones required play loud!)

I read the words and I like it but not sure why



Ian Anderson said he never took drugs but its hard see how that's correct watching this. 3.06 Is what I think insanity looks like OR lots of drugs. He was about 22 here but looks about 35. Hes still alive, pretty switched on bloke

Of course Evo! late 60s early 70s was a peak for me and Stevie Winwood one of those bright lights. For great harmony and unusual melody this was my fave from them.

No problem they did some great stuff, Mother Goose probably my fave but I wanted to post that vid where he looks a little crazy. Songs from the Wood is a masterpiece too.

All the young guys who are listening to this must be thinking , "what the hell is this?" Well these innovative boundary pushing musicians gave you RAP dance music and all the modern rock and beat music you hear today young people!

Listening to this makes me very sad. My friend played my "Black eyed dog" years ago, just one of those lost creative souls. Too sad for me David

@david2, I liked the songs by Nick Drake. I had heard of him, but I don't remember if I had heard anything before.

A completely different Nick:
