Ciega, Sordomuda - Shakira

I liked the rhythm, the guitars, and especially the trumpets. Although I'm not the biggest fan of her voice, I bet if I was to keep listening to it I'd easily warm up to it and start liking more.
6/10
I enjoyed the slow buildup and the softness of the song. The tempo was nice too.
7/10
It wasn't my type of music really, and it lasted 7 minutes to boot.
4/10
Deastro - Toxic Crusaders
Even though it isn't the type of music I like, I must admit that these have some talent. 7.5/10
Here's some indie.
Little Tybee - Nero

i like little tybee, sometimes. they have a nice atmosphere to a good amount of their tracks, but i think that josh martin is really the one that helps the band shine. 8/10.
world's end girlfriend - give me shadow, put on my crown
as a note, don't play this at too high of a volume if you have headphones on.
Very nice, though I could have done without the voices, they got annoying after a while. 8/10.
Secret Garden - Nocturne
In the original Norwegian. Love this song so much.

This is very pleasant and quaint, if not a little flat. I like it though; would check out their other works. 7/10
Stumbeine - Cherry Blossom

never heard of this, but I very much loved the relaxing mood

Gigi d'Ag - L'amour Toujours
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiC108zDkB4
The vocals are from Deirdre Smith.
It's fucking hard to find anything, but she was in 2 songs from Valley of the Giants (i posted one of them early in this thread) and in a band called Strawberry, also very hard to find shit about.. but their bandcamp account has most of their stuff:

I like the music, but not the vocals. 5/10.
Thievery Corporation - Khalghi Stomp
Some awesome chillout music right here. Thanks for sharing man.

Wow, this is great too. Funky as hell.

The Herbaliser (feat.Yungun aka Essa) - Just Won't Stop

This is what hip-hop needs to be. Love the chorus, great scratching. 9/10.
Like Trumpets - "Sons"
Stick around through 2:40 at least.
I'm not a fan of the singing style. The music itself is alright. Also, the clip from Fresh Prince is clever. 6/10
Grow Up by Mega Ran

That track is grovvy as hell! Love it.
I'm not liking the "like trumpets." The song is basically the definition of a genre (punk maybe) that I really do not like at all.
Here, have some Cake.

Really liked that one, the layered vocals worked well and the melody was great. 9/10.
Guano Apes - Lords of the Boards
This song is so over the top that I could help but love it when I first heard it. Love their stuff.

Alright, not really feeling this, I am afraid. Entry beat sounds like they just stuck in the keyboard pre-set demo...not really feeling this synth pop. Vocals are a little pre-pubescent as well. I'll give it a 5.5/10
Anyway, here is mine, something a bit moody, a bit evil:
Kromestar - In 2 minds

Here's a similar one, albeit more repetitive. (Love driving to it at night)

A little repetitive but I liked it. Very catchy chorus.

One I stumbled upon in Pandora:
The Bird And The Bee - Love Letter To Japan
Not my typical genre, but it's a very catchy tune. Her voice is lovely, reminds me of Regina Spektor mixed with Feist.
8/10
Here's an underappreciated gem from a well known band:
Incubus - Aqueous Transmission

I like Incubus, they have a knack for writing great songs. I love the middle eastern flavour of this, all whoozy vocals and sitars. Nice.

Lianne La Havas - Tease Me
One woman and her guitar. I love this girls music, so soulful.
Sorry for the mobile link, tried to get a lastfm one. There are loads on YT, try to find a live version if you need to search.
This one was the Servants Jazz Quarters.

Yeah, that is pretty damn awesone, clasic sound, funky, old gritty mountain goat burr to his voice. 9/10
Something different but equally ill:

Interesting. Grungy, acidy and some psychedelic moments mixed in. Not my thing but I can definitely dig it! 7/10

It's not really my type of music, but I can't deny the talent they have. The song also went to places I didn't really expect it to, in a good way.

Stay for at least 1:40 for weirdness.

Believe it or not, I've never been big into Radiohead. Their okay, though. I'm not a total fan of the lead singer, but I can see where he would be interesting. Song definitely has some thematic chops. 8/10.
Random - "Spontaneous Devotion"
nice retrotune, but got bored of it about halfway through. 5/10.
Do Make Say Think - A Tender History In Rust

Cool instrumental I guess, doesn't really go anywhere in the first 2/3rds. 6/10
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCOo34aPgvI
Really odd/catchy/mesmerizing tune there. I want to say annoying but hmm. 7/10. Decent song but definitely not my thing.
Bleak by Opeth (actually listen to it even if you hate the genre)
8/10 Amazing Music... Personally could have used a different tone for the vocals It's too rough in the beginning and too soft in the middle. Should have had some even ground throughout. Also, this style of music I also find works better with extreme fast paces, and this one was too slow for the music it was going with. I have the similar rating for this song below.
BSC - Sirius VI

Damn, this song is a ball of energy from beginning to end! Good balance of screaming and singing. 9/10
Adagio - Introitus/Solvet Saeclum In Favilla
Hmm... how to describe this one... over the top in it's epicness? The mix in styles didn't integrate as well as I'd have liked, but overall it was a great song. 8/10.
Enigma - Beyond the Invisible
Back to Enigma again, with one of my favourite music videos of all time.
Edit - Sorry about that Tabz - have it fixed now.

Uplifting lyrics with a soothing trance beat. Sounds good to me. 8/10
Riverside - The Same River
Slow buildup to awesomeness, finishing with an emotional ending. For maximum effect, this album should be heard from beginning to end in one sitting.

Seems like a sort of Neutral Milk Hotel but more traditionally folk, I think, I like it.
Maybe you would like then James Blackshaw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCsNrhn41iQ
