The aim of this thread is that I will post a YouTube link up to a song that I am a fan of. The next person that comments rates the song out of ten and then puts his own link up and so on and so on! Hope it picks up, its a way for everyone to be introduced to others music tastes!

Cult, nice. To think Bon Jovi were kicking about when this came out. That bass n drums drives hard huh, stood the test of time this track, 8/10

Here's something, may not be everyone's cuppa

It's a bit weird and slow, but I like it, it's interesting.

6.5/10 merely cause I can think of tonnes of classic songs that could be rated at 7 and above, doesn't mean I think the song is average though.

This is probably a bit famous but am not sure to include some of the more niche stuff I'm into

Not my favourite Foos song, still a comfortable 7/10

7/10 nice work from Rice as usual.

I have been watching some classic Simpsons episodes over the last few weeks and months and watched the boxing one the other night. It was a choice between two but I think one is one people would probably be allowed listen to in work.

Spoiler:

Reporter #1: Champ, do you feel remorse for your crime?
Drederick Tatum: Oh, yes. Believe me, my god, if I could turn back the clock on my mother's stair-pushing, I would certainly, reconsider it.
Reporter #2: Drederick, ah, what do you think of Homer Simpson?
Drederick Tatum: I think he's a good man. I like him. I got nothing against him, but I'm definitely gonna make orphans of his children.
Reporter #3: Uh, you know, they do have a mother, Champ?
Drederick Tatum: Yes, but I would imagine that she would die of grief.

The simpsons Stonecutters song is awesome as well

Who controls the British crown?
Who keeps the metric system down?
We do! We do!

Who leaves Atlantis off the maps?
Who keeps the Martians under wraps?
We do! We do!

Who holds back the electric car?
Who makes Steve Gutenberg a star?
We do! We do!

Who robs cavefish of their sight?
Who rigs every Oscar night?
We do! We do!

You may not have posted a link to the song but I will give it a 8/10 as it is a great song.

One of Cork City FC's Anthems

I quite liked it 7/10

Something a bit soulful and bluesy. This is the studio version of the above video.

I dig it, 7.5/10. Shame they don't make music like this anymore.

Some funk

8/10, only really listened to Average White Band funk, but that was great!

Guitar great here, not sure how many know him aside from being in Genesis (meh)

Superb Spanish guitar playing. A solo Spanish guitar is one of the most haunting sounds in music. 8/10.

Think I recognise that song from somewhere but not sure where:

Given waht team GB have done today and my thoughts on that stupid "Crisis"

by Luckless Pedestrian Sun Aug 05, 2012 2:14 am

Now 'True' is a fantastic song. 'A pill on my tongue... listening to Marvin all night long' - it's real confessional songwriting. 8.5/10.

There are some sound glitches on this video, but anyway:

Not a huge fan of the grunge tpye stuff normally (besides a bit of Weezer) but that was pretty darned good.

Spoiler:

A Cork band who besides that song seem to be a bit of one hit wonders, well before my time but still. I'm not expecting big marks.

by Luckless Pedestrian Sun Aug 05, 2012 2:33 am

I loved the Sultans! 9/10. clap

This is a bit of a steal from the Stones, but it's a groove worth nicking:

90s is what comes to mind but I enjoyed it 8/10

Spoiler:

by Luckless Pedestrian Sun Aug 05, 2012 2:41 am

Not my favourite, but a so-so R.E.M. song is better than most bands can muster. 7/10.

https://youtu.be/iWYchJI0Cv8

by Thomond Sun Aug 05, 2012 2:49 am

Well it was good, kind of a reggae vibe to it, and an unusual title gets bonus marks so 9/10

Let's go full reggae, not as good as his other ones but lighter and Chief Wiggum sang it once so it's

by Luckless Pedestrian Sun Aug 05, 2012 2:56 am

Well if Clancy's a fan, who am I to disagree? 7.5/10.

Nice tune and everything , haven't aclue what they're saying or singing about. Feicing Welsh....

I was never supposed to like Pearl Jam at school: they were never seen as a cool band. But there's no arguing with that song, it's a humdinger. 8/10.

https://youtu.be/3mt_HTeERRg

Ah McCartney. Not my fav Beatle, but he sure knows what he's doing, 8/10

Jangly guitar brit pop

This crowd have some good songs, their earliers tuff is better but this is a good song I think, nice bit of rock pop like.

by ChequeredJersey Wed Aug 08, 2012 9:40 pm

you're meant to rate me first!

7/10. Nice simple chords, pleasant "smokey" singing voice, the element of country/folk that is currently so popular. Now I get to do one of my locals-

by The Boss Thu Aug 09, 2012 12:04 pm

8/10 I enjoyed that.

I keep meaning to investigate Fleetwood Mac - Rumours and Tusk are meant to be great albums. But that was lovely. 8/10.

by ChequeredJersey Thu Aug 09, 2012 5:35 pm

7/10, like a bit of Who.

Another odd one from me, less about the song more about the occasion!

by **Pal Joey** Thu Aug 09, 2012 5:39 pm

horrible voice. Cringe meter 10/10...

I went to sleep with the radio on listening to the Olympics but at about 4am I heard this... it sounded so beautiful.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSFLZ-MzIhM

apologies for the quality... a little dusty.

by ChequeredJersey Thu Aug 09, 2012 5:43 pm

I actually rather like Jackman's singing voice, very Broadway though.

10/10, loved the version in the newest movie, the Muppets, absolutely loved it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtJqxWOL5Jc&feature=related

(that's not a song to rate, just the version I'd heard!)

As you're an Aussie, mate,

Very, very clever. 9/10 Very Happy

Keep thinking AWOP likes this very much.... Whistle

7/10

Although it did remind me of this worryingly!

Bit too Phil Collins for me. 3/10

9/10 Gibson. Extra point if it had have been the Christy Moore version!

Strong song from a very good band

Now a classic band

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

by Smirnoffpriest Thu Aug 09, 2012 11:10 pm

A bit mad 4/10, i prefer weird al songs like Eat It, Amish Paradise and White and Nerdy.

I cant attach a link with my phone yet but will when i get to a pc.

This might be a bit heavy but Stone the Crows by Down.

Absolute classic but the i am a metalhead, people should be able to find it on youtube though in the meantime

by Smirnoffpriest Thu Aug 09, 2012 11:11 pm

That rating was for The Boss

7 out of 10 for Chequered. Led Zeppelin aren't a band I've ever listened to.

ssmirnoff 6/10 liked the intro but it got a bit heavy for me after that

by Gibson Thu Aug 09, 2012 11:26 pm

Loved that. Dylan & Sutherland Brothers ish. 9/10.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=7Bcg-ZiHFdI

by The Boss Thu Aug 09, 2012 11:35 pm

8/10 been meaning to check Rory Gallagher out as a result of reading the Rugby boards. Nice guitar work!

Don't judge me but I'm in love with the voice in this song http://m.youtube.com/watch?gl=US&hl=en-GB&client=mv-rim&rl=yes&v=tuleYF5KF84

5/10. Not a big Adele fan at all but its an improvement on the Cheryl Cole version.

I don't dislike James Taylor, but he has such a boring voice. If you've heard of Rumer, she's his female equivalent. 6/10.

https://youtu.be/XvWiiUgT8Nk

by Thomond Fri Aug 10, 2012 1:59 pm

She has a great voice , even if I wasn't a huge fan of the song. 7/10

It's a beautiful song. I find Death Cab a bit hit and miss, but that's definitely a hit. 8.5/10.

It's a bit like silent night alright as one of the comments said I enjoyed it though.

Mmm, that movie score is difficult to score, 1.5/10 for the song. I was hoping for lion king levels of brilliance

Talking heads...
