If there is one thing I have learned, it's that music truly is the most universal language in the world. Besides myself looking for yet another excuse to post anything at all or just a good one to post music videos, I would like everyone here to feel free to post links to some of your favorite tunes and/or talk about what you like to listen to. Consider this thread your very own little "House of Blues" as it were.

Anyway as for an opening post, I had some difficulty trying to think of a good opener, a nice ice breaker everyone may enjoy, and well I came up with this. Enjoy.

Disclaimer:
Everyone has their own likes & dislikes which includes their listening preferences so please no badmouthing or cruel banter because somebody enjoys a certain type of music or band you may not. There is plenty of song to go around, be nice.

One day back in 1995, a cassette arrived at the offices of ID Software when Doom craze was sweeping the nation. On this little tape was an original tune written and performed by Manny Charlton and his band. For those who don't know, Manny Charlton was the original guitarist as well as founding member of Nazareth.

Manny Charlton Band - Doom (Blood on the Walls)

It may sound corny but listening to this makes me a 'happy worker'. Great beat accompanied by the beautifully harmonious voice of Tori Amos. On a slightly related note, I don't get why the film Toys was so badly received. I guess most just didn't 'get it' yet almost everyone goes on about how 'brilliant' 2001: A Space Odyssey was. Bah.

Tori Amos - The Happy Worker

Hell yeah.  Now THIS is my kinda topic. I absolutely love music!

 

Here's a sample of the stuff that see's heavy rotation at casa Shiden..

 

Incubus -  Pardon Me

 

Angus and Julia Stone - All the Colours

 

Van Morrison -  I'll be your lover, too

 

Dave Brubeck Quartet - Take Five

 

Vince Guaraldi Trio -  Christmas time is here

 

Chopin - Waltz in C Minor

 

Epica - Run for the Fall

Pardon me because I'm hungry like the wolf.

Like many of you I love Iron maiden, videogames... so I will not copy/paste another "number of the beast" video or "fatal fury 2" soundtrack.

 

Although, one of my favorite song, ever:

 

"Neon Knights" from Black Sabbath

 

 

Man, THAT's my vision of the sound of the 80's.

 

 

About 2 years ago I discovered a group I really like (and bought several LP). Albums' covers are incredibly ugly. But soundtracks are cool.

 

RIOT

 

Here are some songs I like from different albums

 

 

 

 

 

Last but not least, I also really like Rhapsody and the famous "Emerald sword".

 

 

 

 

Something more, it's not really a song, it's a movie (about a hard rock band): This is Spinal Tap.
You have to see this if you already didn't because is sooooo fun.
A song from the movie: Stonehenge (jump to 0'58")

Haha. Anyway, I took care of the embedding bit for you. Usually it just requires the video address in between two media tags when posted like this.

thanks

The system gets weird with posting videos. Sometimes just pasting the link into a reply when posting is enough but then other times it requires those tags. Eh, what can you do? It's just a land of confusion.

Don't change that channel, don't touch that dial.

We got it all on UHF!

Kick off your speakers, stick around for a while.

We got it all on UHF!

Don't worry about your laundry, forget about your job.

Just crank up the volume and yank off the knob!

We got it all, we got it all, we got it all....

Try without the "s" (secure) of https://www.....

The "s" means you use your youtube account and so it can make trouble to forums.

SImply get rid of that "s":

Nice tune, wierd visuals. Then again all his music videos are trippy almost like taking a trip on acid in the 70's.

Lol I actually heard the song first and was dumbfounded when seeing the title. I had to listen to figure out the reason for the title. I honestly thought the song was called out of love or something like that :D
