Rate The Song Above You

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!

Mockingjay, I'm about to make a ridiculous comparison but on the basis you've stated for Jack Johnson being boring, Dylan and Leonard have to be boring too!

That's a fair comparison. They're boring too.

I really like Muse, but that new song Madness is very different and very bassy, I didn't really like it so 5.5/10 from me.

I don't usually like hip hop/rap but thought that Public Enemy was quite easy on the ear and wasn't offensive - 7/10

This songs a little different from the above

7.5/10
I'm not that up on early Tom Petty (Full Moon Fever was the first LP I bought of his), but that's one of my favourites of the early singles.

9/10. Really liked that song! Good vibe to it.

Favourite song from an absolute legend now. Powerful live performance

8/10 one of Marley's best

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbnvqCqz7_k

Good song - 7/10

How about this for another indie band

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3ByPyBnzQM

5/10 I'd say I'd like it better only I have a massive hangover and the singer's voice didn't sit too well with it.
http://m.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&hl=en-GB&client=mv-rim&v=R2k0yRWc9Rs

fair enough - hangovers can be evil.

6/10 ok country song.

A band I really love, and who helped me get into great stoner bands like Kyuss and Down...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0l0nzPpvbFs

QOTS are class, love that song. 9.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GkVhgIeGJQ

7/10 not my favourite Cure song but still good.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvyA6Ju-fH8

Always like a bit of Lost Prophets. 9/10

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_PrT25o8Vs (if you look very closely there's a little dinosaur in this video, took me a few watches to realise)

9/10. Howd it take you so long to notice the dinosuar? Is he not the only thing in the video? Just him playing acoustic guitar.

http://m.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&hl=en-GB&client=mv-rim&v=AscPOozwYA8

10/10 The song that literally started off my entire love affair with music. Or joint with Queen anyway. Also the first non-choral song I ever sang solo live. Love it.

On a similar, if less well known vein-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHR3RFw3jQw

8/10. Very chilled and thought has went into the lyrics as opposed to just throwing words that rhyme in.

http://m.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&hl=en-GB&client=mv-rim&v=5opYDbIwQRE

9/10 hadn't heard him solo before, really like his voice with acoustic guitar actually, very surprised all in all

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL7-CKirWZE

I've always disliked that song. 6/10.

https://youtu.be/seRjsq-FrjE

7/10. Very laid back but it sounds like I've heard it before, pretty generic for that era!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsGMkeB8mJw

9/10. Liked the original and loved the cover. Really liked the singer's voice!

http://m.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&hl=en-GB&client=mv-rim&v=QNczeP33Yk0

I love CCR. Not my favourite of theirs, but still better than most bands have come out with. 8/10.

https://youtu.be/gHqxLRUOs20

4/10 Sorry didn't enjoy it, even though it had a punky style to it. though it did have topless chicks on the cover...

I love Creedence Clearwater Revival so maybe people will like this band, there were apparently going to be really big in the late 60s and influenced a few amazing bands, but just as they were going to be big 2 of them got drafted for Vietnam.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrRImjZlD38

That was cracking. Never heard of them before, but I might have to investigate! 8/10.

https://youtu.be/4W5TViSUlJ4

I'm just going to copy and paste what you said "Never heard of them before, but I might have to investigate! 8/10."!!!

I really liked that song

Some reggae now instead ...

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

I'm not a huge fan of reggae, it can be a bit samey. That was good, but nothing out of this world. 6.5/10.

https://youtu.be/Hw8_aOjw3Nk

Sounds like the old (far better) incarnation Yardbirds with fiddles and a more country vibe. That's a good thing 8/10

My favourite Aussie band now:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-i61fD2Co7k

9/10. That was one of the songs I got into from the very start.

Now for a song i was convinced for years that Bob Marley sang.

You didn't post a link but if I had to guess which song it's Bobby McFerrin's Don't Worry be Happy in which case I give it a 7/10 nice tune.

Spoiler:

Fans of a certain tv show will have heard this, the scene it was in was one of the best scenes in a tv drama I have seen.

9/10. Lovely and it was a good scene.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acX_2zkA0KA

Have had some of her stuff even if I'm not massively into the country/bnluegrass scene, not my favourite from what I have hard but still I liked the song 7/10

Spoiler:

This is an alright song but I was listening to it earlier on, one or two good lines. Okay not great. They have far better stuff but sure feic it.

It's more the the value of hearing one of Rock/early metal's greatest singers sing bluegrass!

Can't see any link so I'll leave this.

Back when Shane was semi coherent he could write a fantastic song!

Shall get this moving again

7/10 for that was quite good

I heard this on the radio seemed quite good at the time so figured id share it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BR31L-79sM

8/10 - I heard that on the radio too and wondered who it was, so 'Track ID'd' it on my phone and then searched for the band. Really liked it and will listen to some more on Spotify before deciding if I like them enough to buy the album.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNWIupgr9ns

8/10, good solid Maximo Park. Good band, my housemates saw them live though I did not.

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

9/10 really like that song, and am getting quite into the band.

Since the Olympics/Paralympics I've been loving this song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NFV8dHrZYM

8/10, some
More nice soft indie-rock.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNXybY2DtwM

8/10

Two Door Cinema club are really good - prefer Tourist History to Beacon, but that's just coz I've heard it more often.

Now for something a little bit leftfield, courtesy of Family Guy (don't worry it's not Conway Twitty)

The Geordie legends (From Gateshead)

Classic cheese - though I don't like the American football in the video

Glad you liked some Rock Lobster as well!

A bit more cheese, just don't fear it...

Memories of a guitar hero filled Saturday nights pretending to be rockstars.....

8/10

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzC7_im4_ac

8/10, Americana classic there. It's all about Desperado though

Something brand new:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_G61WC5BDRY

Excellent. 9/10.
I just love how ye kids discover good music, via Yank Cartoons. I blame the Hippies who wrote de script. Any way is good.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2rDp6FnbP0

Edit: I just missed two choices. That one was for Priest. But who gives a flyin phhok.

Love Cat Steves aka Yusuf Islam

Fantastic song with a great feel to it, it's on my pre-rugby playlist lol

9/10


Something which sums up my days at work

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

Oh Driver. Hit the sweet spot why doncha? Love Weller. He writes words what matter an ting. 10/10.

I reckon this was his influence on that one. I used work for my Da. He was Matthew. I was the Son. Worked my arse off to please him. Then I grew up and phhoked off to England.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-z4qc8YbN-M

10/10- loved that song except when Keating got involved. So simple yet can tug at so many heartstrings

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_VHA0WsRUQ

Oh wait, the one he ruined was Father and Son wasn't it?

Ja. But Keating doeshent exshist on thish thread roysh? Worse than painful.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bZkp7q19f0

Hmm different I'll give you that! LOL
3/10 for the song (I hate dance beats) though the Japanese/Korean stuff is quite funny and very random.

Try this for amusement only

Yup it's one of the things tv gives us to replace all that seeps out of your brain while you watch it!

Ain't listened to much Cat strangely, but will give him a bit more of a listen some day.
