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.

Throwing another odd one your way with this vertical scrolling shooter featuring a mix of disco, hard rock, heavy metal, and jazz soundtrack. It's really good and will make you get up and boogie (or bang your head)! Groovy....

Note: It was called "Fever SOS" over here in the states and internationally.

Another arcade title you may not have heard of with an awesomely beautiful soundtrack by Noise Factory. This beat em up may appear to be standard fare on the outside but the amount of enemies, interesting custom combo system, spells that could be small or grand depending on your selected character's strength, made Gaia Crusaders worth a play if anything just to listen to that sweet soundtrack.

I like Switchfoot, Kutless, and TobyMac.  So far, I've seen two of them live.  (Kutless and Tobymac).

Here's an odd variety of tracks to choose from.

 

Stevie Nicks - "I Can't Wait", 1986

Metallica - "Ain't My B***h", 1996

Rob Zombie - "Demon Speeding", 2002

Starting about 6 months ago I started listening to Green Day music. I like some of their songs like 21 Guns or Boulevard of Broken Dreams. Here are some videos below of my favorite Green Day songs. I also have listed some other favorites from bands/singers like Maroon 5, Coldplay, and Bruno Mars.

Steely Dan is Amazing. Love them.

 

I am a Led Zeppelin fan all the way though.

 

Everytime I build a LOTR set I think - "Golem the evil one crept up and slipped away with her."

 

"I''ll just keep Ramblin'!"

 

-Ramble On

I've been meaning to post this awesome metal soundtrack from the sequel to Rock N' Roll Racing on the Playstation for a long time now.

Red Asphalt: Rock N' Roll Racing 2 (1998 - Playstation)

• Overkill
• Road Killers
• Cleaner
• Holocaust
• Intensity
• Slingshot
• Trashed
• Head Voices
• Wrecked

It is Friday.  Time for some newer songs

 

Bruno Mars - Treasure --- The 70s is back !!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPvuNsRccVw

 

 

Darius Rucker - Wagon Wheel  --- this song sounds like classic country tune as supposed to the newer heavily pop influenced country songs

And yes, that guy was the front man for Hootie & the Blowfish back in the day.  Now he is country

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvKyBcCDOB4  

 

 

P!nk ft Nate Ruess - Just Give Me a Reason  --- I originally thought this was a song from a musical.  It just sounded like one of those tunes.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpQFFLBMEPI 

This one is a real doozy in its huge selection of music that was completely different depending on your region as there was one for the Japanese and European version while another for North America. Besides loving the music myself and featuring a unique time travel aspect to the gameplay which affected the backgrounds and music playing, I had wanted to post these for a friend. Have fun, Grolim! (JP - original Japanese version; US - American version)

I'm an oldies man. How about some stones people?

Of course. They're right up there with Aerosmith and The Doors.

 

Miss You

Start Me Up

Waiting On A Friend

She Was Hot

Paint It Black

Gimme Shelter

Sympathy For The Devil

Honky Tonk Women

This last tune is great but the video has a couple of parts not quite kid friendly. :wink:

Some more random tracks.

Static-X - "Push It"

Korn - "Freak on a Leash"

Korn - "Falling Away From Me"

Tool - "Bottom"

My favorite for now

Iommi - Insane

It is Friday.  Time for my random musical picks...

 

 

Just Good Friends - Michael Jackson & Stevie Wonder

The most underrated MJ's song (IMHO).  It features two of the biggest music giants, I am not sure why this song was not better known

I used to call this song: A delusional boy and his enabling friend

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlP0SwyUIGU

 

 

Crazy - Aerosmith

There were so many things I could have written about this video (and lets leave it at that)    Interestingly, this song was never a chart topper

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMNgbISmF4I

 

 

Make You Feel My Love - Adele

I love well done covers.  This was originally one of Billy Joel / Bob Dylan songs

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLoyNxjhTzc

 

 

Maria Maria - Santana

Ah yeah !!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPLV7lGbmT4

Starting about 6 months ago I started listening to Green Day music. I like some of their songs like 21 Guns or Boulevard of Broken Dreams. Here are some videos below of my favorite Green Day songs. I also have listed some other favorites from bands/singers like Maroon 5, Coldplay, and Bruno Mars.

I like Coldplay as well. Green Day is okay too. If you liked Paradise, check out Charlie Brown.

 

Anyone here listen to movie soundtracks?
