Topic stolen from another forum.
you only get 2, so make em' good. (and no cheating!)

It could be a song that changed your life in a way, or just your favorite song, or a good song by a undescovered band that you think needs descovering, or whatever. preferably give a links to where we could listen to your songs.

ok 1 2 3 go!

Xasthur - In The Hate of Battle (or Soul Abduction Ceremony)
Anorexia Nervosa - Enter The Church Of Fornication

With both of these songs, you'd have to listen the whole way through, not just get put off by the vocals, to understand why I'd suggest them.

Good topic BTW. I'm gonna give an effort to try and listen to everyone's 2 songs that they post.

Rage Against The Machine - Wake Up (changed my life)
Slipknot - Wait and Bleed

Great thread idea. 2 is an excellent number for this sort of deal.

devils_daughter · « **Reply #3 on:** 21 Dec 2004, 06:18 »

Halo - "Feel" (Good luck getting hold of that one, damn record company dropping them

)

My Dying Bride - Grace Unhearing

Neither are groundbreaking or anything, just two of my favourites right now

Tinjessla · « **Reply #4 on:** 21 Dec 2004, 06:50 »

Jeff Buckley - Dream Brother.
The Smashing Pumpkins - Soma.

First one, just a very beautiful, very calming song i think people should hear. The last one is being pimped because well..it's my favourite song (which has influenced many an online alias may i add).

Thal · « **Reply #5 on:** 21 Dec 2004, 07:36 »

The Postal Service - Such Great Hights
I Am Kloot - Proof

Just happens to be my two favorite songs at the moment and has been ever since I heard them the first time. I guess they aint that special but they have somehow helped my mood and life during some bad stuff.

Yay for good music and nice lyrics (in my humble opinion).

TrueNeutral · « **Reply #6 on:** 21 Dec 2004, 08:13 »

Three Doors Down - Kryptonite
Guns N' Roses - November Rain

Spencer · « **Reply #7 on:** 21 Dec 2004, 08:33 »

what a bastard topic! only 2 choices...

Rearviewmirror - Pearl Jam
Feeling So Real - Moby

Neither of these are my "favorite" songs, but they both had very profound effects on my life. These are both songs you have to *feel* to appreciate, Rearviewmirror being particularly powerful when youa re feeling a bit angsty or down, and Feeling So Real having the exceptional abilty to lift ones spirits. I suggest that your first listen to feeling so real be done with your eyes closed, with the volume at high level and the bass turned up.

Oh yeah, if you want to give Feeling So Real a listen, make sure you get the album version (from "Everything is Wrong) because moby had a tendency of remixing all of his earlier work 435645 times. Say what you will about him now, but "Everything Is Wrong" continues to be one of the most relevant and exceptionally produced electronic albums of all time.

ForteBass · « **Reply #8 on:** 21 Dec 2004, 09:51 »

Both of mine are from one artist, but he's had a huge impact on how I write, and play music.

Hawksley Workman - We Will Still Need a Song
Hawksley Workman - Tarantulove

This is actually a difficult thread too, to decide on just two songs, especially for those of us who delve deeply into music.

3Z3VH · « **Reply #9 on:** 21 Dec 2004, 10:51 »

Joe Satriani - Day at the Beach
Joe Satriani - The Forgotten (Part 1)

Some of the best guitar work I have ever heard. Satriani is, in my opinion, the best guitarist alive today.
(Those both count as one song since they are so short and are really almost continuations of each other.)

Talvin Singh - Butterfly

The man can take a Tabla and a Sitar and make some of the coolest music ever with them. It's frikking amazing.

I will be linking these up to MP3s later tonight when I get home and have FTP access, and I ask that other do as well if at all possible. Makes it easier on us that don't have web crawlers to find our music files, and/or don't want to wait for P2P downloads.

John Cage - â€œ4:33â€?

And since I can't think of another song that'd have the same universal tone, I'll say â€œnothing.â€?

So, â€œ4:33â€? and nothing.

Seriously, since most of my appreciation of music is wrapped up in my personal tastes & feelings, I don't feel qualified in figuring something has universal appeal. Particularly when even my best friends often hate songs that I absolutely adore.

Atom and his Package - Shopping Spree

Camper van Beethoven-All Her Favorite Fruit (Orchestral Version
I love Camper van Beethoven SO MUCH. SO! MUCH! I like Pictures of Matchstick Men the best, but this one actually has a link, so there you go.

Unsatisfied by the Replacements

This Is The One by the Stone Roses

I'd have to put Waterfall in at the same time This is The One as I did until last year play it every single morning. for a period of about 3 years.

Hector Gilbert · « **Reply #16 on:** 21 Dec 2004, 12:04 »

The first one would be Throbbing Gristle's "Very Friendly".

The second one might change, but right now it'd be Current 93's "Dormition and Dominion".

Haha, good luck with finding Xasthur, Jamoky, it's pretty kvlt. Anorexia Nervosa's not too hard to find though. Just try Soulseek.

I spent a while trying to find it earlier, and failed miserably.

"love is a place"- metric
"those to come"- the shins

...but really, every single metric song could change your life.

and sorry i don't know where you can find links for them. i think you can hear song clips on http://www.ilovemetric.com" target="_blank">metric's site.

Malphas · « **Reply #22 on:** 21 Dec 2004, 14:23 »

Well...maybe not. I just ran a search on soulseek and came up with squat. AN doesn't even have anything on their site. If you really want to hear it that badly, just message me on MSN or I'm on soulseek now.

devils_daughter · « **Reply #23 on:** 21 Dec 2004, 14:30 »

It's cool. The website looked good so I might just buy an album, the cd collection needs expanding!

Malphas · « **Reply #24 on:** 21 Dec 2004, 14:32 »

If you're gonna buy an album, I suggest Drudenhaus. That's my favorite. The newer 2 aren't bad either.

devils_daughter · « **Reply #25 on:** 21 Dec 2004, 14:40 »

Okies Drudenhaus it is when I have the money. Thanks

Only 2? Hell, that's a tough call.

Hmph.

Going To My Home Town by Rory Gallagher.

and, erm, hmm

Shine On You Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd.

ick, that was horrible, I could have come up with 200 easily.

SkepticSight · « **Reply #28 on:** 21 Dec 2004, 18:49 »

The Postal Service - Such Great Heights ( Yeah you stole my song Thal)
and
The Early November - Open Eyes

Just too good songs.

Jamoky · « **Reply #29 on:** 21 Dec 2004, 20:38 »

ok I got anorexia nervosa(oh man, intensest song I've heard in awhile), but now I have a ton of other songs to catch up on!

devils_daughter · « **Reply #30 on:** 21 Dec 2004, 20:43 »

Do you have a link for the Anorexia song???

Malphas · « **Reply #31 on:** 21 Dec 2004, 21:46 »

Okay, I uploaded the song onto my directory. Let's hope I don't get any nasty emails about bandwidth.

Sorry and I like it too much to give it back. Lets share it ok?

And the more I read this thread and think about it the more songs I come up with. Damn these limitations!

CammyKnoxville · « **Reply #35 on:** 22 Dec 2004, 10:16 »

Against Me!- Sink, Florida, Sink (Electric)

The Human Killers- Terror in the Cellar

Tago Mago · « **Reply #36 on:** 22 Dec 2004, 10:21 »

Depends on the genre. With respect to "indie" rock, I think

Wire - Outdoor Miner

and

The Velvet Underground - Sunday Morning

are required listening.

exliontamer · « **Reply #37 on:** 22 Dec 2004, 11:04 »

Fucking stealing Outdoor Miner from me...oh well

Wire - Ex-Lion Tamer (get my username now? yay!)
X Japan - Say Anything

dangerouswhenawesome · « **Reply #38 on:** 23 Dec 2004, 13:19 »

The Decemberists - The Legionnaire's Lament
Against Me! - Beginning in an Ending

This was uber-difficult to decide but in the end I chose the Decemberists because everyone should like that song and Against Me! because it's the best acoustic song I've ever heard.

rocknrollsultan · « **Reply #39 on:** 23 Dec 2004, 13:51 »

The Aislers Set: "Mission Bells" [Peel Session]
The Clash: "White Man (In Hammersmith Palais)"

Riot · « **Reply #40 on:** 23 Dec 2004, 14:00 »

Punky Japanese Rock Band Alert~!!

Guitar Vader- "Perfect Bird" from the album "From Dusk"
Judy and Mary- "Brand New Wave Upper Ground" from the album "Warp" (and others)

I might upload some Flash versions of those songs later, if time permits. '-'

exliontamer- Dang dude, last thing I thought I'd see was a Pillows fan on here. '-'
(unless your avatar refers to your username and nothing else)

Love The Pillows, but couldn't really think of a single song to place as a "must hear". All their stuff as a whole is really , really good.

ExplodingBunnies · « **Reply #41 on:** 23 Dec 2004, 20:38 »

Thrice - The Artist in the Ambulance

Dream Theater - Learning to Live

Just Like Honey, by the Jesus & Mary Chain:

Christ, they were a GREAT band I'd completely forgotten about!

arkturus · « **Reply #43 on:** 24 Dec 2004, 23:23 »

Nick Drake - "Time Has Told Me" always relaxes me when I'm stressed out. As does Opeth - ...well, any Opeth song.

Also, uhh, I guess Rush - EntrÃ© Nous. Nobody really pays attention to that song, but it owns.

There are many others I love, but I feel that everyone either has probably heard them or would be turned off by their metalness.

flowers for charlie · « **Reply #44 on:** 25 Dec 2004, 00:28 »

Five for Fighting - Superman and Bonnie "Prince" Billy - Another Day Full of Dread, just for fun!

SECProto · « **Reply #45 on:** 26 Dec 2004, 14:01 »

Desolation Row - Bob Dylan

and

either Nothing Better - The Postal Service
or The Disco Before The Breakdown - Against Me!

ExplodingBunnies · « **Reply #46 on:** 26 Dec 2004, 18:43 »

I'll agree to Opeth... especially Blackwater Park.

Underworld - Born Slippy

Right now (right now...) I'd go with

LCD Soundsystem - Yeah (stupid version)
- Awesome dancepunk/acid house song that's simply monumental

Blood Brothers - Love Rhymes With Hideous Car Wreck
- Hardcore-of-the-future taken down a notch and still lays waste to the competition. Watch for the freak out!
