Top songs so far

Mine:

 

Take Me Out - Franz Ferdinand

 

It has to be one of the catchiest riffs EVER. Once you hear it you cannot get it out of your head. I like the way the song starts as well, with it slowly building up until it hits a frantic pace. Just good rock in general.

 

Hey Ya - Outkast

 

I'm not an Outkast fan at all, but this song is amazing I think. It really took a while for me to like it. Everywhere I went out to, this was playing. Eventually I downloaded it and it really blew my socks off. Although they're a hip-hop band, its hard to catagorize the song. It's a few different styles threw together and mixed about. Again supremely catchy.

 

Clocks - Coldplay

 

First things first. I hate Coldplay. Well maybe hate is a strong word, but they're middle of the road boring parent's music, who don't offend anybody. Before this I wouldn't have listened to them, and after I could still care less. However this song is simply fantastic. The piano is so simple, yet so haunting. Look at the WWE advert when Kurt Angle returned, and it had his training with this playing in the background. Simply amazing

 

how about you?

Take Me Out - Franz Ferdinand

I agree, I liked it even more when it was on Physical Graffiti and called "Trampled Underfoot."

Of all time.

This is wrong because I like this song but I want to remember the riff and can't do it. I'll hear it again and say "Ok, I'm not gonna forget it this time." but I always do.

 

Also, you're dumb for saying this is of all time.

 

Also, Physical Graffiti was terrible and Franz Ferdinand is better than Led Zeppelin.

 

The best song of all time is All Blues by Miles Davis.

 

The best song so far this year (and it being November, probably this year definitively)is Let's Go by Trick Daddy/Lil Jon/Twista.

Wait, I get it. All the other things I said are still true though.

I recently came to the decision that I don't care about Johnny Cash at all.

 

I didn't feel like starting a thread about it.

[The Mandarin 0]

Have you heard his cover of Personal Jesus? It makes Depeche Mode sound legendary, and Johnny Cash sound like a bad folk cover band.

 

And Depeche Mode isn't legendary.

[Nighthawk 0]

You idiot. Johnny Cash is a country singer. If he's doing synth pop covers, what do you expect? A better comparison would Marilyn Manson's version, which I actually haven't heard. I will though, because that album comes with all his videos.

 

You won't understand or appreciate Johnny Cash without understanding or appreciating country music. Which is ok, and as it should be, what I disagree with was Cash's placement as Gen X Crooner 2.0 (prototype was Tony Bennet), because you can easily create a facetious appreciation of Cash, be you a mall brat like CM Funk, or an indy fag like Incandenza, but if you have no connection with country music at all, you're not going to get Johnny Cash.

I know people talk up Cash on here, but nobody gets him, except maybe Downhome, and myself, because my musical taste is the broadest and deepest of anyone here, and Downhome's a bumpkin.

I also have things I didn't feel like starting a thread about.

 

The Ying Yang Twins' Georgia Dome is one of the most degrading songs (to women) I've ever heard, and I've heard a lot. Rap's degradation of women can go no further than that. I really think Me & My Brother is perhaps the quintessential party album, and a shining snapshot of all the crunk movement stands for, and one of the greatest southern sleaze albums ever (no Thug Matrimony, however). Lil Jon be damned, the Ying Yang Twins are the true embodiment of their genre. I respect that.

"The only time you use your mouth is when you get on your kness.

So don't speak you shouldn't be saying nothing at all

Cause it's hard to talk with a mouth full of dick and balls

So put it in your mouth and blow

Put it deep down in your thoat

Niggas like me don't wanna hear that shit so do what the fuck you been told."

 

Brilliance.

"Take Me Out" is the only Franz song I heard and I love it. If I hear another single from them I like, then I'll think about picking that one up. However, when I use the little song clip headphones at Barnes and Noble, the album as a whole doesn't sound that engaging. So what to do?

[UZI Suicide 0]

"Serious" by Nas and AZ

[Art Sandusky 0]

"Somebody Told Me" by The Killers.

 

Their other song they play on our local rock station is really good too.

[Murmuring Beast 0]

There is no true riff as such to Take Me Out - the song is a bit of an epic with loads of different guitar bits. A song like 40 ft has a more memorable riff.

After hearing this, I completely and utterly agree with you.

I was going to debate this, but then I realized that I probably don't have as much experience in all genres that you do.

 

Maybe I'll do a genre based post later for the thread.

I don't see how this is any worse than the vilest moments from Niggaz4life.

Hideous sacrilege.

 

Also, "Trampled Underfoot" is one of Zep's best songs.

I'd assume I get Cash too--what, with my 3 posters of him on the wall, multiple CD's lying around, listening to him right now, etc. etc. He's amazing--my favorite singer ever, but it's cool if others don't like him, as Incandenza has good taste in music. As for calling Cash a bad folk cover band--don't let anyone tell you his best covers were only in his American days, vintage 60 "A Boy Named Sue" and "Long Black Veil" are awesome stuff. How can you not love the guy who had the biggest night ever in MSG--being country, singing songs about outlaws, and then BAM--busting out Catholic praise with "Were you there when the Crucified my Lord?"

Also, Physical Graffiti was terrible and Franz Ferdinand is better than Led Zeppelin.

I wouldn't call Physical Graffitti terrible, but it's not great either. It's the last *GOOD* Zeppelin album, and it's the last album to feature PLant at his best. After Physical Graffitti, Plant went downhill. Fast.

I'd say Float On by Modest Mouse is easily my favourite single of this year.

*shrug* I don't know about "getting" him, but I like him and that's enough for me.

I thought World At Large was a way better song, but Float On is great, too

[Guest combat_rock]

My favorite single of the year has got to be "Reach for the Sky" by Social Distortion.

President--Dan Bern

 

President

 

Raised up my hand & said I solemnly swear

One January day

And just like that I was the president

Of the U.S.A.

 

There were limos, bands & speeches

Parties to go to

I said all that will have to wait

There's so much to do

 

My first day I offered statehood

To Cuba & Mexico

Cuba: 1 state, Mexico: 6

All or nothing, that's how it goes

No more border patrols & human smuggling

We'll deal with our own neighborhood

And a few more stars & some green in the flag

Seems like, it might be good

And maybe Israel & Palestine

Will follow our lead and just combine

And then become Israelstine -- who knows?

Anyway, that's my first day

 

Second day I told Detroit Start makin' cars that don't use gas

And I give everybody a big rebate, 'n' they

Started sellin' fast

We'll stop burnin' up the air we breathe

And makin' the planet boil

And we won't have to kiss the ass

Of whoever's got the oil

 

Since before Hoover, the farmers have got

The short end of the stick

With the help of our Cuban brothers

We'll go communistic (collective farms!)

Capitalism is a fine thing

If it works, then great, OK

But if it don't, you gotta try something else

That's what I did on my 3rd day

 

The 4th day all of our troops came home

From all around the earth

Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran

More trouble than they're worth

And I was tempted to say "I'm sorry

We'll rebuild you with money and men"

But I just said, "You're on your own

And don't fuck with us again"

 

My 5th day I changed the army

So it's all of us or none

We'll all tie knots and walk through mud

Pitch tents and fire a gun

With just a few of us as warriors

And the rest of us gone soft

Martians could come and zap us

Ain't gonna happen on my watch

 

Day 6 I swore no prisoner more

Would face his death inside

Thou shalt not kill, applies to us all

Too many mistakes besides

Day 6 I swore no prisoners more

Would ever face his death

At least until my jury hears

The crimes of President Bush

 

Day 7 was hot, I legalized pot

And none of this decriminalizing crap

Let it grow in glory, end of story

Then I burned one & took a nap

Hemp will help the farmers

We'll grow hemp everywhere

One acre of hemp's like 10 acres of trees

And hemp grows back next year!

 

My 8th day I made health care

Apply to everyone

If you get sick, see a doctor

That's how my government's run

And by the way abortion

Is included in this plan

No one tells a girl how to treat her body

Least of all some man

 

My 9th day I said sorry

This government is no fool

Ain't gonna pay you extra to send your kid to some

Weird-ass, wacko school

We'll do our best to make our schools

The best anyplace on earth

If they ain't good enough, think about it

Before you go give birth

 

My 10th day I made it OK

To marry whoever you

Would be willing to ride with

On a bicycle built for two

Marry a woman, marry a man

Marry a monkey too

Marry a big old rhino

And visit him at the zoo

 

And that was my first 10 days

My first 2 working weeks

Lots of work for the bureaucrats

And the paper-pushing geeks

Next we'll need a time

To go and just have fun

So we added some new holidays

The next week, one by one

 

Monday was national nude day

Everyone disrobed

Tuesday was national stoned day

Everyone got stoned

Wednesday was national painting day

Thursday no television

Friday was tennis, John McEnroe helped

From his cabinet position

Saturday, sex with impunity day

With no repercussions

Sunday, do it all: Nude, stoned, tennis, painting, sex, no tv -- enjoy!

Just be ready for work on Monday

 

My cabinet, as previously mentioned

Includes John McEnroe

And Wavy Gravy and Michael Franti

And Ani DiFranco

Muhammad Ali, Madonna, Maya Angelou, Brad Pitt (for the ladies)

And Bill Clinton & Monica Lewinsky

And we'll watch 'em both go at it

Next we'll get that Stephen Hawking

And make him a citizen and stuff

He's the smartest guy in the world

England's had him long enough

 

And I will not run for re-election

Four years enough of this

'Cause between you and me

I hate politics

 

I raised up my hand & said I solemnly swear

One January day

And just like that, I was the president

Of the U.S.A.

Just like that

Just like that

Just like that I was the president Of the U.S.A.

*shrug* I don't know about "getting" him, but I like him and that's enough for me.

You don't "get" him. That's no reason not to like him. My statement was preempting an antiCash sentiment.

Brilliance.

I don't see how this is any worse than the vilest moments from Niggaz4life.

That's just a snippet for one, nearly the whole song is on that level. In, fact here's all the lyrics:

 

"Shorty so crunk she comin out her clothes.

Dick so big got caught in her thoat.

Do it hurt? (yeah!) do it hurt? (hell yeah!)

One nut, two nut's what you get

When you let a nigga lick that clit

Do you like it? (yeah!)

Wanna nigga to bit it? (hell yeah!)

From the ceiling

To the flo

Til that hoe don't want no more

That bitch better have my dough

Suck it, suck it, suck it, suck it [...]

 

Niggas, I'ma tell ya

you can't trust a bitch far as you can smell em'

you better lick that stamp and mail em'

Back over there to the other fella

I care less (like i s'pose to)

always gotta stay fresh (like i s'pose to)

Don't talerate that stress (like i s'pose to)

I'll punch a bitch in the breast (in the chest?) (Nigga yes!)

I caught up with this ho

she sucked my dick behind the store and I skeeted all in her thoat

Then a nigga had to go I had to roll.

Then I'm looking for a nother headhunter Georgia Dome

Put your mouth on the dick give me georgia dome

I love pussy

Pussy good but it always bleed when it's time of the month cause bitches so thick.

 

[hook]

 

Fuck nigga that's enough said.

See a bitch is only good for a duck head. (quacka)

Low self-esteem nigga can I mack her

Bring her to the world of a low down nigga

(She the bomb)

You gotta pass the ho round nigga

(Here she come)

And all boxers fall shawty gon play with the balls

Bitch please

I'm hotter than 400 degrees

The only time you use your mouth is when you get on your kness.

So don't speak you shouldn't be saying nothing at all

Cause it's hard to talk with a mouth full of dick and balls

So put it in your mouth and blow

Put it deep down in your thoat

Niggas like me don't wanna hear that shit so do what the fuck you been told

 

[hook]

 

I smoke by myself

I drank by myself

I fuck these hoes by my god damn self

You smoke by yourself

You drank by yourself

You fuck these niggas by your god damn self

I said forget about them women who love to get ate out.

If you eat from red losters she'll suck your thang off

Now that's a four course meal for a nigga like me

I'ma starve cause I ain't gon eat

Now i don't eat nothing that get up and walk away

Somebody I gotta look at face to face

I say Eeeeew that's nasty

Nigga if you wanna eat it you can have it."

 

Efil4zaggin was shock value (and a rather ham-fisted attempt at such, by the way, not that I dislike it), Me & My Brother isn't trying to shock anyone, that's just legitimately their outlook on life.
