Some older, some newer, but at the moment:

Bloc Party: Blue Light
Stone Roses: I am the Resurrection
Jay Z: 99 Problems

[Makkah]

William Shatner.
That's totally amazing. Please let you be kidding.

[Leetahkin]

Have you ever heard it? I bet you haven't.
It's such a fun song!

[Asha]

get me a link and I will, otherwise I'll mock completely based on assumption.
:)

[Anebriated]

Snatch, your tastes are COMPLETE opposites. I think you covered pretty much each extreme there.

Jurrasic 5
Sublime
Jack Johnson
Bob Marley
James Taylor

[Leetahkin]

I'm
At
Work

Why is it guys are always too lazy to find it themselves?
:duck:

Oh, and thanks to you, it was a MCR day at work, so I'm adding:

My Chemical Romance - It's Not A Fashion Statement, It's A Fucking Deathwish

The group really needed to make shorter song titles.

[Asha]

Thanks to ME??

You should worship me for letting you in on their amazingness!
(unless you actually MEANT thanks to me.)

[Leetahkin]

:worship: Drayal

This will be the ONLY time you see this.
Can't let that stuff go to your head any more than it does!

I try. :smilegrin:

But I can find similarities in Sublime/J5, James Taylor/Jack Johnson, and Bob Marley and pretty much everyone.

Not a huge Jack Johnson fan, but I am a huge Sublime fan. I find myself listening to his version of Badfish over and over again.

Really, I'm a huge hip-hop fan, I just haven't found anything worth listening in a couple years.

[Anebriated]

well it struck me as funny that you posted J5 to begin with as they are more underground. Well, they used to be anyway. Maybe its just my area but very few people have heard of them.

edit: the only similarities between JJ and JT are the fact that they are singer/songwriters. I dont think I have ever heard a sound like Johnson has in another person's music.

I had tickets to a J5 show in West Chester a few years ago, but I gave them up because I was in Philly for a concert earlier in the week, and didn't want to drive all the way back out there (2.5 hours from where I am in NJ.)

People that didn't even like hiphop told me it was the greatest show they'd ever seen (I think it was J5 and Dilated Peoples).

I love J5 and think it's a shame they haven't sold more records...even my friends that can't stand hiphop/rap like them.

[Anebriated]

If it was J5/Dilated then I was there. It was truely an amazing show. J5 /Dilated/Swollen are a great trio. Most people have heard songs from one or the other but all 3 are good friends and they tour together alot. Good stuff.

It's more that the vocal style makes me want to jump out a very high window. :) I have to like the singing in music; if I don't like the singing, it's out.

On an on-topic note:

Theatre of Tragedy Retrospect

has now lingered two days on my playlist without removal.

-Melissa

[Artha]

Velvet Acid Christ - Slut

The presentation and the lyrics are so different that this song is amazing.

[Drinin]

Only (NIN)-cheesy disco beat and all.

[Edaarin]

Talib Kweli -- Never Been In Love

Great workout song.

[Apotheosis]

right now listening to

'This Corrosion' by Sisters of Mercy.

Someone please hepl me

[Left Wing Brat]

Take My Picture - Filter
I Want You - 3eb
Mr Brightside - The Killers
Flake + Sitting, Waiting, Wishing - Jack Johnson (I'd give ANYTHING to play guitar like this guy)
Sweet Home Alabama - Skynard

[Anebriated]

"Flake + Sitting, Waiting, Wishing - Jack Johnson (I'd give ANYTHING to play guitar like this guy) "

I know a few people who are extremely proficient with a guitar and have no trouble playing 90% of music who simply cannot play alot of Jack Johnson. His chords are extremely difficult and it shows how great of a musician he really is.

[Apotheosis]

Type O Negative - Christain Woman, My girlfriend's girlfriend
More sisters of Mercy - Lucretia (my reflection)

[OreoElf]

Penis Song - Monty Python
Detachable Penis
Lumberjack Song - Monty Python

You Raise Me Up
Love his voice; nice mellow, relaxing day.

[OreoElf]

Nightmare Before Christmas Soundtrack - can't choose one song

Music of the Night - Phantom of the Opera - Michael Crawford version

[Artha]

The Good Times are Killing Me - Modest Mouse

Like them or not, this song's good :)
