Best Songs of all time.

<< < (2/10) > >>

Splunkle:
Less Tool hate, more Jethrotull Love.  I DEMANDZ IT.

Also, less vocal bias.  The best song in the world is clearly Beethoven's 9th symphony (also known as Ode to Joy).  While this has vocals, they are all in german, so I have no idea what they are saying. But I care not, because its ODE TO FUCKING JOY.

kthxbye.

E. Spaceman:
The best song in the world is probably 'time after time' by cyndi lauper

Storm Rider:
I downloaded Time After Time just now to see if Emilio has a fucking clue what he's talking about since he talks about that song so damn much.

He doesn't.

Hat:
I am willing to put down Lateralus in a list of the songs that touch me deep inside my soul, simply because I have done too much acid listening to the album to not have that climax of a song do something to my psyche.



But honestly, Lovely Rita. That is it. A dude tries to make it with a pretty lady.

Scytale:
For me:
At The Gates - Raped by the Light of Christ


"When the yellow dies under the velvet thoughts
Blood-bubbles nestled in thorns

I have travelled through suns,
And the darkness of the end
Now I surrender to the void
And join with the pulse of the universe

The world burns with worms of fire
The world burns

The beauty in twisted darkness
Raped by the light of Christ
We were not born to follow
We don't need your guiding light

I tear the skies with my bare hands
There is no death for me
The world burns with worms of fire

Sun or animal, star or beast
Alone all the way to the heart of Christ

I'm free to die when I wish
I'm born from scarlet songs
And when the time is right
I shall forever walk alone

The beauty in twisted darkness
Raped by the light of Christ
Worlds end, through a thousand suns"


I know it may seem like an odd choice and the tittle makes the song sound incredibly lame but this is 3 minutes of amazing music.  When I heard this the first time I wasn't a metal fan at all, I thought all that Death Black whatever shit with the growled vocals was complete rubbish and utterly unlistenable. This song revised my entire musical taste instantly.

The beautiful acoustic build up, slowly increasing in speed and volume until it climaxs with the electric guitar comming over the top playing the bruttally heavy beginning riff.  Then the incredibly pissed off voice just starts spewing out the lyrics with utter hatred (I wouldn't even call it singing, more like a controlled yell), then the fast tremello picked riffs hit and damn its heavy it fast and its melodic I don't knows whats hit me but I liked it. So yeah it may not be my favorite song but yeah it changed my tastes completely in one listen.
