Very melodic. But "poppy" as well, which is not a plus in my book. Decent. 7/10

Quite beuatiful. 8/10
But the clip get's a 9/10 for me, Spain is beautiful
Please do rate the video clip of the next song separately, since it might be better then the music.
Gorillaz - Stylo

like me some gorillaz, also like the little 80s-feeling beat going on here but definitely not my fav by them
buck 65 - secret splendor
I don't really like that kind of music... 5/10, I can thou understand why some would.
Avicii - Wake Me Up

Sounds like Mumford and Sons with a divergence into Europop. Music is listenable and fairly upbeat and not depressing but doesn't really do anything special to me, would be mean to give it less than 6/10.
Sweet Baboo on Marc Riley - Wish I Was Made Out Of Steel
Nice beat.. the engrish is a little off putting but I couldn't sing in another language so gotta give credit.
7/10
Rosebuds - Bow to the middle

Too harsh his voice for me but it has a lot of soul. I like songs that tell a tale. 7/10

I liked this more than I expected. very fun and energetic. would listen again
something different.
harvey milk - anvil will fall (note: you really need to listen to the whole thing in order to really capture it)
7/10
Indeed different, I took quite a bit of listening to determine if I liked it or not. I certainly like the parts without the distortion a lot more than the parts with. There is a variety throughout that I appreciate.
A long one, but one of my favourites.
Michael Kiske - Do I Remember a Life?

Heavy metal ballads are definitely not my thing, sorry :/
Here's something completely different
Today is the Day - Honor

6/10.
i liked it, but it really didn't build enough. too short, i think.
best experienced with headphones:
world's end girlfriend - dance for borderline miscanthus
as a note, don't expect to dance to this.

Liked it, vocals felt a bit soft but that's probably just because of what I've been listening to this morning but I like the instrumentals. Speaking of,
Rum to Whiskey - Murder City Devils

My man!
Like the piano in it. Something about that era with piano and acoustic guitar that gives a special feeling.
Was listening to a compilation I have from Stereo MC's, had to look up the full version of this song as a result.
The Mike Theodore Orchestra - Moon Trek
6/10.
I admire the music itself, just not my thing.
This is a performance I picked up on recently that I really admire.
Crystal Castles Untrust Us performed by a lot of kids at music school. I know nothing about the song or band but this is a great performance.
I wish I went to this school.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7a2u9v0V0c
This is absolutely awesome. Untrust Us is a great song already, but hearing it performed like this is just unreal. The panning over the kids hitting their chests is kind of crazy, like they're chanting to a great leader. Thanks a ton for the link.
Reminds me of this version of Alberto Balsam with steel drums.
Speaking of steel drums, the happiest cover of Joy Division in the world.
Joy Division - Transmission (traveling steel drum band)
7/10 Solid, fun piece. Very happy.
I never listened to much Joy Division (mostly because I never bought any of their stuff) but I'd read that a written description of their sound was what inspired The Overload by Talking Heads, who'd never heard a song by them. Kinda neat.
Stéphane Grappelli - Tears

Didn't do much for me until the 2:12 mark when the guitar came, but then it left at 3:02 as did my interest in the song.

Damn great song, Instant Clarity is a really underrated album that never really gets the love that it deserves. (Also a Kiske/Helloween fan here if you can't tell by my username)
6/10
The song has a good atmosphere, and is written well. I'm honestly just not too much a fan of the style or vocals, really.
Black Sabbath - Computer God
This song is worryingly still relevant despite being over 20 years old.

Uhm, yea I just really don't like this style of classic rock, especially Sabbath. Alas, 4/10 for being alright enough to listen to (and shreddage).
Hands Like Houses - Developments
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTTuh8jWsAM
I... surprisingly, don't mind it. The vocalist sounds really... iono, Linkin Park-ish or like any other vocalist in this genre (imo). 6.6/10. Loved the instruments and pretty much everything asides from the vocals.
Robin Thicke - Pressure
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XuRd2lX4ZM
Listen to at least half of the song.
Couldn't even get through 30 seconds of it. Just too sugar sweet poppy light hearted mainstream bullshit. I've heard a couple good Thicke songs and this ain't one of them.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuG-IsivaDw
Simplistic guitar riff made it a bit boring IMO, but I liked it despite not being the type of music I generally listen to.
I'm not sure if instrumentals are welcome?
George Winston - February Sea
Pretty awesome! I rarely listen to this type of music but that one was great! 8/10.
Here you go.
<3 80s bands.

I'm liking it so far, for some reason it reminds me of MJ's "They Don't Care About Us"

I used to be a fan of power metal. Now I can't really enjoy it as much. The song itself isn't that bad but: 6/10
Atmosphere - You
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRbx5pTGVik
Autechre is great!
I dug the bassline a lot. Will need to look up more.
I'm pretty sure I posted The Antlers before, or someone else did, so I spent some time picking out one I know wasn't posted.
The Antlers - Atrophy (live)
You tried the fuck out of my patience. 7.10. I liked it.

Well, that is COOL
Here is a song from a hardcore band from Canada I had the pleasure to open for with one of my bands a few years ago. They were seriously amazing.
Go It Alone - Faith and Fiction

Takes me back to high school, good stuff! That must have been such an awesome show as well.

Really melancholic and atmospheric dude, I liked it. Gorgeous tone to the guitar too.

I enjoyed that more than expected. 8/10. My song is kinda modern and young-ish so I don't know how well received it will be. Anyway:

Nothing personal. I listened to it twice to give it a fair shake, but it strikes me as superficially optimistic. Nothing overtly offensive, but a bit trite. Maybe I'm just a cynical bastard. Sorry.
And with that ham handed analysis I guess I shouldn't expect kid gloves from the following poster, but here goes:
