https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61ESVVk4bNk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wuu_E-fS-ys

6/10.

That David Byrne's a clever fella. 7.5/10.

https://youtu.be/rxZWdGOwLFI

Dated but still pretty good 6/10.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o22eIJDtKho

I bought that as a single when it was released. The arrangement and production are perfect for the song and his voice. 9.5/10.

https://youtu.be/4P9oDf79V-0

9/10. Cheers for for the heads-up on that guy man. I'm downloading his stuff. Words are stunning.

6/10.

Not really my thing but not bad at all. Steely Dan reminds me of my childhood as its the kind of thing my parents listened to.

Lacuna Coil - Within Me

Now you're talking! 9/10.

Not my fave Gorky's song (prefer Peanut Dispenser). 6/10.

WTF are you smoking? Its a woman's "moping" song. You need to listen harder.



@Cari: 9/10 - brilliant song! Also reminds me of my childhood - but more because its the kind of thing I listened to. I'd love your thoughts on this cover:

Lacuna Coil - Enjoy The Silence
Had the pleasure of seeing these guys play at Sonisphere a couple of years ago. An awesome live band.


Here's the one to rate (I'm sure luckless pedestrian will hate it ):

Queensryche - Eyes of a Stranger

meh, average 5/10

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nA18g_PwG0

Dyre - that's not a bad cover. I think it would've been better with a more powerful male vocal, but it's OK. I quite like metal bands doing covers of pop songs. The Deftones have done some good ones including The Chauffeur by Duran Duran which is normally an untouchable song, but they did a good job of it.

I've heard that song too often; but it's one of those songs that, every now and then, it's like you're hearing it for the first time and it floors you. 9/10.

https://youtu.be/MexDd9q4QdY

I was enjoying it until the singer (who looks like Andy Murray) began to sang. Waht a grating voice.

5/10

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULngjhKnZ0o

didn't like that i'm afraid 4/10

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1f2M5G9KG8

I love this song and video. 9/10 The video really is awesome.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsMUQK4jdsQ

That's probably the Cardigans song that's had most airplay, but I'm not a fan. Anything off the Life album would be better! 6/10.

https://youtu.be/NyBspX9Jb0Y

not bad, a bit monotonous at times 7/10

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gs2o5T7oN8

Not a patch on Stevie Wonder's original. 5/10.

https://youtu.be/m8we1CsMeCw

4/10 seems a bit boring.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=883yQqdOaLg

not my kind of music 5/10

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q63XogYTIcc (skip to 2 mins)

Some of the Who's early stuff is brilliant - 'I'm a Boy,' 'I Can See for Miles' - but I've heard 'My Generation' so often that it's lost any rebellious edginess it had. That's my opinion, anyway. But they were a fine band, until Pete Townshend's ego got the better of him. 6/10.

I don't know who played drums on this song, but he's having a whale of a time:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PHO6QD_qBQ&list=FLHByqH1yn9fg&index=1

I quite like that. It's nothing new, but I like it all the same. 7/10.

https://youtu.be/R5f0dPrc-KM

6/10
like the music, couldn't discern the lyrics, but as a whole pretty impotent for a what was meant to be an angry song.

so, prefer to live in the past at least music wise)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFudBQcplj4

8/10 gotta love a bit of David Bowie

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSnQ0bdHW0s

Nine times out of ten I'd be partial to a bit of John Lee Hooker; but today it just sounds repetetive. 6/10.

https://youtu.be/Trd49Da0gf0

4/10 not my kind of thing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYPoMjR6-Ao

go for something a bit different

not bad actually! 7/10

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B4bsqYxwo0&ob=av2e

I like the Stranglers, even their song about Gordon Brown. 7/10.

https://youtu.be/2QPPFs4uktk

I always thought they were an acquired taste. 6/10.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yht4Anc4Vdk

Well I'm not a fan of the original, but at least they've put a different spin on it. 6/10.

https://youtu.be/TppnYXQsLDQ

5/10 - okay in the background.

some 90's genius now - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqDEn7uUhFc&ob=av2e

2/10 managed to stop myself from stopping it part way through but couldn't put myself through listening to it again.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xz-UvQYAmbg

9/10 - classic

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdbyG2MrBHk&ob=av2e listen all the way to the end to appreciate this quality song. Best song this year.

10/10 Fantastic song from a fantastic album

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BfnXX7EvhM&ob=av3n

5/10 On account that I cant play that vid in NL. GG's was a defo 8.5. Loved the artist/crowd interaction. Dont like him.Think he's a total tosssser like Bono... but... it was good.

Howanwhatsoever... this Lady knew the Blues.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rk1IKHd_0fk

8.5 You know Gibbo, that "tosssser" Bono wrote a song about her...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3ATGjUNMGg

Oh man, that vid just says tossser to me, but he came from the same area as me... Go figure. 7/10.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48K5Y0421Ig

Yowsers!

Appreciate the guy is a legend in his genre, but thats a sure cure for insomnia for me. 3/10.

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - Mary Jane's Last Dance
I was thinking of putting this in the "Best Videos" thread. Weird but amusing.

Feicin kids, no appreciation of good musak.

Tom Petty Rocks. So does that vid. Black. So black. 9/10.
Topical...

Not bad but not my favourite

6/10

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XCWBcPWYQo

I thought I was going to enjoy that - until the rapping started. I like good rap but that wasn't good rap in my opinion. 6/10.

https://youtu.be/B63FdvYxErw

Like that. Chicago meets the Beatles.. Meets the... weel, its all copies deese days innit? Nothing new to hear here. But, its good. 7/10.

And now... for some real music.

Now that's a great little song. It's not cool, of course, but so what? 7/10.
