I thought that was cooler than a polar bears toenails, I absolutely loved it! Definitely one of the best tracks I've heard in this thread. I was nodding my head within 10 seconds, then the airy poppy female vocal came in, juxtaposed nicely with the sparse male rapping. The melody was infectious, the beat was funky, I didn't understand a word of it, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thank you my good man!

dicker literally means thick man. dicker in the german is pretty much used as dude or buddy.
so "los dicker tanz" means " come on buddy, let's dance". however if you speak dicker tanz like the female voice in the track the two words dicker tanz sounds like dekadenz (decadence). so the song is pretty much a parody like gangnam style i think.

UNKLE feat. Ian Brown - Reign

I don't usually like to post long tunes, I try to keep it around 3 mins, but this is worth the time IMO.

Edit: sorry neoism, I skipped you.

8/10, really nice melody.

Edit 2: Seriously, people should listen to Los Dicker Tanz, it's wicked! I've just listened to it like 5 times in the last hour.

Great to drive to, as well as relax to. Just good ass trip hop/downtempo. 9/10


Crimson Glory - In Dark Places

7/10 Liked it more than I thought I would from the opening. Not a fan of most prog metal but that almost did it for me. Going to check out more of their music, thanks.

Randy Crawford - Street Life

 

[NinjaBoiX]

An absolutely fantastic record, a classic. Those five horn stabs at the start just gets my fingers snapping every time. So damn groovy.

Very nice voice, good guitar work. 8/10.

Def Leppard - Rocket

The best live version of this song, and one of my favourite live performances of all time. The dueling guitars, the driving beat, the way the bass comes in... though I must say that the Led Zeppelin lyrics they added to it are really ridiculous.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

What's got 9 arms and sucks?

Def Leppard.

Sorry man, I really don't like those guys.

But it was a rousing performance, so it gets:

4/10 for me.


Screw it, time to shamelessly drop some credibility. What can I say, it's damn fine pop music IMO.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5howHv3F54

EMO! EMO! EMO! Love it.

Nope, nope, nope, sorry. I can still listen to the entire track but nothing in it even hooks me. 3/10.

Frank Zappa - City of Tiny Lights

 

[Peco]

EDIT: Zappa rules. 10/10

Nick Demayo - Look Away

Alright... get their clothes.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

I enjoyed it, nice folk song. I hate to say Dylanesque, but yeah, very reminiscent of him, especially with the harmonica.

Nice record:

7/10

Yeah, I've been keeping the cheese at bay in general, but just thought I'd throw a guilty pleasure out there, mix it up. It is the one band that I'd never stick on when pals are around, they are kind of lame! But yeah, I really dig them, despite that.

*shrugs*

Bill Withers - Who Is He (And What Is He To You)?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vlM1ekJ144

I first heard this on Jackie Brown, and just fell in love with it. Really smooth groove, and great lyrics.

Really nice version, slow and chilled. I always preferred War's Rendition though, the horns are amazing:

(I just quoted to segregate my actual post)

Anyway, 8/10, just because I have my heart set on War's version.

Well I could go down this route all day! I mean damn, what the hell do you pick?

Does this qualify as 'rockabilly?' I actually really like this track! Thanks for introducing me to them. 8/10.

Here's one for y'all - Supertramp - Goodbye Stranger

This is probably my favourite Supertramp track, right up there with good ol' 'School.'

Really fantastic version of the song. Feels like something I would hear on open mic night at our local pub. Fun fact, I've never actually heard the original recording, only samples and snippets of it from nu-jazz tracks. 8/10

Reminds me of a really unfocused Polysics. Not a terrible sound, but it makes me wonder what it would be without all the spectical. 5/10

That being said though: Polysics - I My Me Mine

....but, I actually really enjoyed it! Absolutely off the wall bonkers, but good stuff. With different vocals, it could be amazing, but I get the wacky vibe they were going for. The video makes it.

Jesus this is awesome, why have I never heard of Dax Riggs before. He sounds like a mix between David Bowie and Layne Staley (sorry if that sounds silly, but that was my gut reaction upon first listen). 9/10

Yeah, Mastodon are pretty cool. Not one of my favourite tracks, it's just a little aimless. But yeah, fine musicianship, but they have stuff that's more up my alley.

The Cardigans - Do You Believe

They have a reputation of being incredibly saccharine and twee,what with Lovefool being so huge, but Gran Turismo is a damn fine record. And it really shows their darker side. Nina has such a sweet voice, that the dark subject matter is counter balanced. I think they are a great band, though I haven't checked out their stuff in a while.

Everything about her is so amazing. ._. Very good song, too. Their darker stuff is always great because of the contrasts between the Nina's voice and the instrumentation.

Spoon - The Beast and Dragon, Adored
Britt's an enthralling lyricist. The opening bit before the drums kick - always makes me think of an gloomy day on bustling street corner with a subway entrance, which is oddly specific.

Never been a fan of the Artic Monkeys and this song won't change my mind (the best song I've heard from them was a cover but I can't remember what song it was). Pretty cool bass though.
