Rate The Song Above You

First topic message reminder :

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!

I quite liked some of Eels' stuff. 7/10.

And now, one what Macca wrote:

https://youtu.be/pmn2HXuf7xA

Ah man, I loved Cilla back then. She was up there. Great song, sung in style. 8/10.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWRgHVamt7g

8/10 it was something different but good


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgP-QfArzvs and I'm going to post this also, mainly because I think he has talent and could make a name for himself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErnDEeOlGkM

Thomond, I loved that last video. I like a bit of doo-wop. 7/10.

https://youtu.be/lR24UxivUTQ

He is a very good and versatile artist Lucky. His lyrics are pretty solid and he can make a song out of anything. Well worth a look at.


7/10 for your song, good song and nice tune but not a massive fan.

Going to play that song from the Heineken ads. Alright song not great. Very catchy though.

Spoiler:

Not into beer, so don't know what to rate....I hope this is "new" enough

Eurgh!

Sorry - absolutely cannot stand Reef. The guy's voice just grates on me! 0/10

Tal Bachman - She's So High

It's OK 3/5/10

Here's what we danced to and wished it lasted longer...either that or Stairway to heaven

Love hurts - pretty much a solid classic ballard with no real thrills to it 4/10

why not! 6/10

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKI8U2f4FNg&feature=related

When that started, I thought it was good but that I'd have to be in a certain mood to really enjoy it; by the end, I was in that mood. 7.5/10.

https://youtu.be/TTZi6VSs6DU

ok 6/10

One of all time favourite singers this guy!

He was such a great songwriter. I always wonder how he would have developed as an artist if he'd lived longer. 7.5/10.

definitely not me, prefer him with the Beatles ANY DAY! Paul's voice was too light for heavy stuff 4/10
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXewIR7Y7cc

Not one of Blondie's best by a long chalk, but still decent enough. 6/10.

https://youtu.be/UBYjyvOLn-o

8/10 I really enjoyed that

10. Just fantastic.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ukstws19D4

GG. Nice one bro. 9/10.
That track, that time, the drugs, the burds, the raw open sex, the resultant jazz & complications... Loved it. Every little second of it.

Never even had to leave the room. Which was grand.

If ye love ballads. And True Love...

That gets a 9.5 for me. Love the slowed-down version.

He had more effect on the music we all love, than most will ever realise. Just sayin.

What were himself and Denver ever thinking? Buddy was warned not to fly. Denver just flew off in an experimental plane and landed it in Montrerrey. An experimental plane?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLBKOcUbHR0

Peter Paul and Mary's version is the one I know, but seeing as John Denver wrote it: 7.5/10. There's a story worth sharing about this song: my mum was putting my two younger sisters to bed one night and said, rather than sang, the chorus to them. They burst into tears.

https://youtu.be/GFQND4oaMhk

And now for something completely different...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60iTCMNG08A&feature=related

Ooooh beautiful by Chet. One of the few musicians who can make me weep. I have everything he ever penned and tuned on me hord disk. 9/10.

BTW Nole, you didnae mark Lucky's choice.

Id give it an 8/10 meself. Never heard it before. Really nice man. Downloading it...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rRCxRfpQk8

Macca was writing tunes for fun in those days. 7.5/10.

https://youtu.be/jv_MjpfB4as

4/10 it's a bit to weak for me...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jujG5X9iZs&feature=related

INXS had some great little songs, but I've never thought much of that one. 6/10.

https://youtu.be/LyngNTiku2Y

1/10. Joe le taxi anyone?

https://youtu.be/1xJbEoc5sDw

1/10 for 'Les Piles'?! Is it coz she is French?

'Goddess on a Hiway' is a beautiful song. 8/10.

https://youtu.be/46VtRKz31ws

8/10 Thats nice, I liked that.

https://youtu.be/TDkhl-CgETg

8/10 solid rock song


Heard this song recently though it was fantastic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKWKRMxXB0M

Really liked that. Big time. It is a Fake Empire. Not too many people know that. 9/10

Sit back and enjoy some live, musical, perfection.

'They got a name for the winners in the world / I want a name when I lose.' Now that's a lyric. 9/10.

https://youtu.be/pubbxQOYh4M

Very quirky 7/10

https://youtu.be/_Zt1zvWH8uo

I don't own any of Arcade Fire's records, but I've seen footage of them live before and they are one hell of a live band. 7.5/10.

Speaking of live acts:

https://youtu.be/1J3uj2wqPPA

I'll give it 6/10 just because it's you Lucky and admit I only listened to the first 20 seconds

Happy Birthday Willie

7/10 my dad loves the red headed stranger

Spoiler:

TUNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 9.5/10

Love some Jack Johnson songs , great way to unwind.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3RlJoqlY7Y

I like the sentiment of that song. I dislike everything else about it - the production, the snare sound, the over-emoting lead singer. 4.5/10.

https://youtu.be/8WHrCKIj6do

That's very coffee shop/lounge. Kind of background noise really. OK. 6/10.

I absolutely love this. Discovered it through someone else. Great voice and lyrics

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWjEX9oaVqg

I like Irish music but that didn't do it justice for me. 5/10

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVuLEsfONnU&feature=related I am loving this from Bibio.

I don't know really, not a huge fan of it 6/10

I'm only going to post this because it's in the Milkman episode of Father Ted, I don't really care if people like it or not

Spoiler:

Yuck. 0/10. Reminds me of 70s sitcoms for some reason.

Found this a couple of days ago. Its a cover of the theme song to one of the best sci-fi series ever made:

Spoiler:

1/10 I hate that neither here nor there type music... awful lyrics too.

What exactly do you mean by "neither here nor there type music"? If you're going to criticise it, at least put some substance to it. Actually, I can describe it for you quite well, its modern country & western.

As for the lyrics, if you'd watched the series, or even seen the movie Serenity, you'd know they fit perfectly.


Oh and as for that German stuff you posted, it sounds like something Der Fuhrer would have had playing at one of his rallies. 0/10.

It's a poor imitation of proper country & western, lacks soul and she has a weak voice. We're not here to judge the movie; all I'm saying is that song doesn't move me at all. I hope you don't have a problem with my opinion which has more substance than that song.

By the way dyrewolf - you think it's OK to criticise the song above yours and write:

"Yuck. 0/10. Reminds me of 70s sitcoms for some reason."

What is that supposed to mean? Are you sensitive to 70s sitcoms and other people's opinions as well?

I'm surprised this hasn't happened earlier, people getting touchy when others don't like the rating they give!

They're just songs aren't they, Thom?
No big deal. However, if you can't take it... then don't dish it out I say. Easy
