I hate Roadrunner Records

As does every sane man and woman. Though I have to admit I will probably pick up, or at least download the new 'Roadrunner All-Stars' thingumy.

Just cos, you know, Peter Steele and King Diamond.

Quote from: Dara

my favorite song is Pink Moon by mr. Nick Drake

excellent song, but if I was going to pick a favourite Nick Drake song it would be a toss-up among Man in a Shed, Black Eyed Dog, and Pink Moon.

Red House Painters · « **Reply #52 on:** 03 Nov 2005, 17:35 »

Because that's a question I find impossible to answer, I'll just list a few that would at least be on my top 50.

The Beatles - I Will
Red House Painters - Have You Forgotten
Wilco - Pot Kettle Black
The Arcade Fire - Rebellion

I'm gonna have to say The Final Countdown, by Europe.

I love songs that are so bad they're good.

John Cage, 4'33".

I thought "Organ 2/ASLSP" was better, myself.

Bohemian Rhaposdy - Queen
A Day In the Life - The Beatles
The Prophet's Song - Queen

RUMBLEMOOSE · « **Reply #61 on:** 19 Nov 2005, 14:08 »

Originally I thought "I could never pick just one, there are hundreds or even thousands of songs out there and I couldn't imagine one really rising above the rest."

I was wrong, though; it's "Jungleland" by Bruce Springsteen.

onewheelwizzard · « **Reply #62 on:** 19 Nov 2005, 14:36 »

The greatest song ever written by anyone ever is "Doraldina's Prophecies" by Masters of Reality.

Well, I don't think so. Digging for Fire is also very good.

The first one is FUCKING AWESOME. Best song ever, I don't think so, but certainly the best Christmas song ever. Was very surreal at group practice last week when me and a mate played this through randomly. In a CHURCH.

As for Buckley - I dunno. It's a great song, but it's a cover, and I don't think he's done that much with it either.

ayePod · « **Reply #74 on:** 01 Dec 2005, 10:37 »

I can't stand Leonard Cohens voice when he sings Hallelujah. But when Buckley sings it,especially on live recordings,it doesn't give you tingles inside. Everything just shuts down appart from your ears so you can fully appreciate it.

If you continued to read then you would see that I was emphasising the impact his voice has,because it does more that give you tingles.

I believe the way to clarify that is to say "his voice doesn't just give you the shivers..."

Good grief. The first time someone mentions Counting Crows on here, and they list the worst song they've ever done. I mean, really.

Round Here, A Long December, All My Friends, Rain King... These are the ones you should be mentioning.

They put out a lot of rad shit in the early nineties. Life of Agony. Obituary. Suffocation. Other stuff.

I will pick one song and only one song. No one has heard it. It's been my favorite song for probably 5 years now.

Niblick Henbane - Life Over the Edge

KharBevNor · « **Reply #84 on:** 09 Dec 2005, 04:11 »

Not to mention Type O Negative and Sepultura.

But they're a major label subsidiary now. I mean, fuck.

Picking my favorite song is nearly impossible

but my most played is "Duvet" by Boa
