Song of the Day

[doz]

I downloaded Too Bad by Nickelback from Morpheus today so that's my song of the day(again).

I use KaZaA...I used to like Audiogalaxy but they don't have much anything to download anymore.
Have to check up that Pearl Jam song, always liked them.
Today's choice: "Knives out" by Radiohead

[Looney]

Kazaa is the one I use for now. Audiogalaxy's gone under Metallica-facist control so it's Napster Mk2. If you'd like a website go to oth.net

today's song: "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns 'n' Roses.

[BLAUGRANA]

I've been using Winmx. I only asked because it was going so slow the other day. It's still a bit slow, so maybe i'll check out kazaa. You lot should definately check out that Pearl Jam tune though. I like it a lot.

By my count, I get 3 today. Sorry, but I was in Chicago for a wedding. I have to check Ticketmaster tonight for the Coldplay date (I think it's this week) and if Doves are going to Chicago.

They're not going to be anywhere remotely near Chicago, it's a strange little tour, mostly East & West coast dates, & some shows Doves are not even the headliners. I'm going to see them here on Friday, I'm sure the next time they're in the States on a proper tour they'll play in the Midwest.

Song of the day is "I'm So Bored with the U.S.A." fom the Clash's first album.

[Looney]

"Superman" by Five for fighting today

[BLAUGRANA]

Song for yesterday, the theme to the Champion's League of course. I'm so glad it's back.

Song for today is "Daybreaker" by Beth Orton.

[Looney]

I got the champion's league theme as my windows opening sound. :D

today's song: "Dosed" by Red Hot Chilli Peppers, get their new album, it's gooooooood.

[ilcapitano]

Aimee Mann - "Pavlov's Bell"...she has a new album out too.

Yeah, and that will probably change after Milan get bounced by Bayern and Depor in the first round. :evil:

"Say Hello, Wave Goodbye" by David Gray for me today. Nuff said.

[doz]

Rewind to 1996- Cast- Sandstorm.

[BLAUGRANA]

"Come on Eileen" by Dexy's Midnight Runners.

[Looney]

well azulgrana unlike you Yanks I don't stop watching/covering a sporting event after my team(s) have been knocked out!

today's song "King of the Mountain" by Midnight Oil

[lili]

My today's absolutely favourite: You are always in my mind......

[OAnimal]

Mariah Carey: "Without you".

You care to elaborate on this one? I haven't the slightest idea of what you're talking about, but then you probably don't either.

Sir Paul is in Brew City tonight. I saw him back in 94. I'll go with "Oh Darlin' " from Abbey Road. There are so many really.

[lili]

Nicole Kidman&Robbie Williams:
Something stupid

[Bier]

Lifehouse - "Sick Cycle carussel"

Massendefekt - "Den letzten Krieg"

[Looney]

"Complicated" by Avril Lavigne, maybe its just her looks.....

Azulgrana, can't confirm but I've been told most US media stops covering Wimbledon, Oz and French Open when all the big name Americans get knocked out and that no one cares about the WC after US gets knocks out.

[ilcapitano]

Polly Jean Harvey: "This is love"

BTW, Azulgrana, I've heard the same as the stinky milanista...;)

Her looks? What, cause she's not attractive? I'll at least give you that the song is catchy.

I can't confirm it either. I followed the WC til the end. As for the others, I'm not that interested. Then again, i'd say i'm not your typical yank. I'd say your assertion is somewhat true though.

"Pyramid Song" by Radiohead is mine for today.

Well that's not so far from the truth :D...for today I have to choose a song I found again after few years memory loss, "Local boy in photograph" by Stereophonics.

[Looney]

Ah well, different tastes I s'pose huh? You're not a typical yank and all.....

"Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica. Milan and Newcastle both won, and nothing else matters!

That's why I said "seriously". Gotta love Finland. I'd love to see it someday. I think it'd be kinda like northern Wisconsin ( the state I live in).

"Beautiful Ones" by Suede.

[Looney]

"Better Man" by Pearl Jam

[Looney]

"We will rock you" by Queen, a belated warning to the Depor fans. :D

Could be...never been to U.S. myself. But I'm not a big fan of my own country. I mean...well, we have a working society, it's rather safe to walk on the streets and the nature is beautiful, etc...but it can also get boring, people are too distant and grumpy. And damn it's too cold too!

I like that new Pearl Jam tune too, but it's not near their best. I'll choose "Corduroy" (from "Vitalogy" - a fantastic album).

I hear ya about Finland. It's kinda like Wisconsin in that respect, COLD. It doesn't seem as cold these days as when I was a kid though. I need my change of seasons though. I love fall/autumn.

The people in Wisconsin are considered very friendly. When I go visit my mates from High School in San Diego, the people in California (and everywhere else for that matter) are always remarking how nice the people from Wisconsin are. I'm a jack-ass though! :D

I like the new Pearl Jam, but Cordoroy is better. I chose it a ways back. Like I said in that post, I wasn't really into them much back in the day.

I get two again today. "The State We're In" by the Chemical Brothers with guest vocals by Beth Orton. Can you tell i'm a fan of hers? I like the brothers too.

"Sick, Sober and Sorry" by Gene. I doubt if any of you have heard of them other than maybe Roman or the dozzer. They drew a lot of Smiths comparisons when they first came along, but soon fizzled out. I saw em in Chicago once. They had a good number of good tunes.

Well here's one. I saw them live in Finland back in the nineties and have two of their records. The singer has an amazing voice.
Haven't heard their latest stuff though.
The thing about music press (especially in England, I think) is that they bring up these new bands as the next-best-things once a month and when they have nothing else to write, start trashing them in a short time. It's disgusting.
I'll choose from the same band: "For the dead" (their first single?)

You're right about the English press. Otherwise, instead of trashing them they just keep hyping them. I do prefer English bands to American ones though, by a large margin.

Gene's post-second album material wasn't that great IMO. I've tried downloading some of it, but it's tough to find. I remember the English press never really taking to them in the first place though.

I'll go with a fellow Yank today. "Jack-Ass" by Beck. I love the donkey going "eeh aww" at the end.

[doz]

Seems like years since i contributed to this thread!
Feeder- Buck Rogers for today.
BTW ZUL i've heard of Gene and heard some of their music but i can't recall any of it so i musn't have liked it that much.

The Vandals - my girlfriend's dead

Björk - "Hyper-ballad"...one of the greatest music gems of the 90's.

Simon & Garfunkel - America

Just a great song, just everything is right.

Also Puddle of Mud - She hates me
Catchy, just catchy. know its getting old a bit.

"America" by Simon & Garfunkel is great. You should blame your parents for letting you listen to Puddle of Mud!

I'm going with the Smiths today. I don't listen to them like I used to, but they're still great. I think I listen to them less because I overplayed them for so long. Don't ya just hate it when you do that? Anyway, "Girlfriend in a Coma" by the Smiths. Just one of many songs that proves their music ISN'T depressing.

[soccer fanatic]

I can`t overplay a song. More than once I played a song for more than two hours on repeat, if it`s truly a great song, than even after two hours of hearing it I still love it.
(Freaky coincidence that those two Dutch artists are huge fans of Simon & Garfunkel and The Beatles)

Whats wrong with Puddle of Mud? Ofcourse not as subtile as S & G but still addictive. Besides, I`m old enough to decide my own playlist. :) I have kind of a wide choice of music. Just no trance and dance and that stuff.

I think I know Girlfriend in a Coma, i`ll download it right now.
Legally, ofcourse. :)

[soccer fanatic]

Girlfriend in a Coma, not bad but it sounds like you have to got an acquired (?) taste.

[Bier]

The Vandals - Grandpa's last Christmas

[Looney]

My mp3 comp's died of RAM failure so I didn't get a song in my head today.....

"Sell Out" by Reel Big Fish, heard it whilst playing FIFA 2000, man that games was poor!

[OAnimal]

An old one: "Take it easy" by the Eagles.

After listening to the song more I must admit its highly addictive. :)

Amazing, simply amazing. Go figure.

Sort of. It's more that the bands I listen to were influenced by the bands before them that I listen to and so on. Well, to an extent. The Smiths are cool though. You should check out more of their stuff. See if you can't download a greatest hits or singles collection. If not, I'll PM you some more of their good stuff. They had a lot of good stuff, more than just a singles collection. However, they also had some mediocre stuff.

I'll go with another one of those bands I didn't really love when they were big. I think they've got a good 10-15 song's worth greatest hits in them. My song for today is "Perfect" by Smashing Pumpkins. BTW, did any of you ever go pumpkin smashing when you were younger? I bet it's just a phenomenon of American suburbia.

It's not an exaggeration to say the Smiths were among the best five bands of the 80's, along with R.E.M., Joy Division, the Replacements, & Fugazi (in my most humble opinion) :) I've listened to Meat is Murder recently so my song would be "I Know It's Over," which can still raise the hair on your neck almost 20 years later.

[romansky]

My song of the day is "Receptacle for the Respectable" by Super Furry Animals. These guys are great, I saw them on Tuesday night & they blew me away, I highly recommend checking SFA. Their latest album came out about 10 months ago & is called Rings Around the World. The best thing to come out of Wales since Ryan Giggs (or maybe even Dylan Thomas?)

Not my top 5 of the 80's, but probably some of the most creative and influential. The Smiths are one of my all time favs though, and I didn't really hear them until the early 90's. Morrissey's solo stuff is great too. I guess I'll go with his "Jack the Ripper" as my song of the day today.

"Crash into my arms
I want you
You don't agree
but you don't refuse"

Sinister, yet not too sinister. Morrissey sings it as though Jack the Ripper isn't that bad and that the victims don't mind. Also portrays himself in a metaphoric sense to ole' Jack.

Welcome back Roman! It's great to have you back. You're like I don't live in the Big Apple, otherwise I'd be tagging along with you to all these shows. None of my friends are interested in the same stuff I am (at least none of them that live here), much less in concerts. You're lucky cause you get every band coming to your town.

I don't really know much of their stuff (SFA's that is). Any comparisons? Are they really that good. I heard one of their first tunes, but didn't like it too much. I hate everything at first though. I need to give things a good listen. I'm gonna go straight to Amazon.com now and look up songs and then go download em.

Joy Division was more like a 70's band wasn't it?
The Replacements! I love them...or some of their songs really, as all of their albums have like three or four great songs...and the rest are not so hot. But Paul Westerberg at his best was a genius no doubt about it!

I guess considering that Ian Curtis committed suicide in 1980, on the eve of their first American tour. I always associate them with the post-punk eighties, although what the surviving members went on to do as New Order was definitive 80's.

I just read the other day that all of the Replacements albums are being re-mastered & released with updated packaging.

Song of the day is "F*ck School" by the Replacements

I'm lucky that my wife still let's me go to see a few shows, she understands! About SFA, you'll have to decide for yourself, I recommend downloading the tracks "Presidential Suite," "Run, Christian, Run," & "Shoot Doris Day" from their last album to get an idea. I thought the Furries was the best concert I've seen this year, better than Belle & Sebastian, Doves, or even Beta Band (barely ;)

Does the wife ever accompany you to the shows, or do you go with friends? I've once went to Radiohead and the Charlatans by myself. None of my friends wanted to go, idiots. Radiohead was amazing that night. It was for the OK Computer tour.

Sounds good. I'll have to DL them. I'll let you know what I think when I DL them.

"Miss Misery" by Elliot Smith is my song of the day. I think he's one of the best that the States have to offer.

Wow, I'm sure those guys are kicking themselves now for not going, that was a great tour. Did you catch them summer of '01 on the US tour? It was phenomenal, & Beta Band was the opening guest. No, Angie does not go to many shows these days, she's really not into a lot of the indie bands. She would rather see a dj spinning, I think the last "real" show we went to was Basement Jaxx. My office is full of European transplants so we always have a crew together for shows, but it's tough since I live way out in the 'burbs & am not getting any younger ;). Anyways, check SFA I think you'll like the new album.

I was expecting so much more out of that movie. There were some funny bits, but not nearly enough. Gene Hackman was good, but they should have kept going with his "bad" personality for a while. The Wilson brother that was the neighbor was pretty funny too. I loved that Cowboy jacket and hat he was donning all the time.

"Shiver" by...................................................Coldplay.

[romansky]

Alright then, I select "God Put a Smile Upon Your Face" by Coldplay. Admittedly I'm not a fan of these guys (too ballady), but I really like this song & "Politik" from their new album, they can rock when they want to!

[doz]

Sorry to break the Coldplay mould, but today i choose gone Til November by Wyclef. Anyone remember it from about 96 or 97? Great song! (bursts into song, "every time i make a run..")

[Looney]

Continuing the Coldplay trend, "Trouble" by Coldplay.

[ilcapitano]

I'm going to break the rules too and go for a classic instead...
"Wuthering heights" by Kate Bush (which would go very high in my "the best songs ever" list).

[BLAUGRANA]

Had I not chose that one a while back, I would have now. That's my favorite Coldplay tune.

I'll give with a cover they did today. "You Only Live Twice". Yes, it's the song that was done for the James Bond film. They just covered it. BTW, I have this great record of many of the James Bond songs. Most of them were great tunes too.

[BLAUGRANA]

OK, so today is the last day of Coldplay posts. I'm gonna go with "Yellow" today. When I first heard the song, I thought it was decent but none to special. "Trouble" is the song that got me into Coldplay. However, I grew to love "Yellow" and still do.

Today it's "Inertia Creeps" by Massive Attack, listened to the Mezzanine record today & I must say that 4 years on it's still breathtaking.

Hard to believe it's been 4 years!

I'll go with "Stop Cryin' Your Heart Out" by Oasis.

[ilcapitano]

Nothing here for two days! Did people run out of songs?
My pick for today: Big Star - "Ballad of El Goodo"...anyone heard about this 70's band? Great tunes, and an inspiration for many great bands today.

Bryan Adams- a new start (or is it called a new world???)

That's a challenging one contributed by Joonas, I really don't know much about Big Star other than it was Alex Chilton's early band & I think they were from Memphis. Chilton himself went on to greater reknown, his inluence on later bands trying to recreate his sound is much greater than his fame ever will be though.

Today it's "Nice Dream" by Radiohead, listened to the Bends earlier.

I'll go with the Phonics today and "Step On My Old Size Nines". My shoe size too. Their "J.E.E.P." album has some really good ones on it. "Have A Nice Day" is my favorite off the album, but I chose it already in this thread.

I recall the more recent version for charity with all the various artists and it was quite special.

[soccer fanatic]

My song of the day is:

Gerard Lenorman - Si jetai`s president.
My French is horrible, but I have been listening to this song since I was a kid. Beautiful.

[BLAUGRANA]

I posted here yesterday, but forgot to pick one. I'm taking two. :P

"Throw Your Arms Around Me" by Neil Finn. It's a cover actually, but the original doesn't even compare with this one.


"Heart-Shaped Box" by Nirvana.

[romansky]

Mine today is "Heart of the Sunrise" by Yes. If anyone's seen the film Buffalo '66 this is the song at the beginning. The intro before the vocals come in is awesome, Steve Howe is one of the most under-rated English guitarists of the seventies. I recently bought their retrospective boxed set "In a Word . . . Yes" which is essential. These guys put the "prog" in Progressive Rock!

Well he was in Box Tops before Big Star. They had this one hit that is included in all the "best of 70's" collections: "The letter".
I don't know much else about that one.
But Big Star really was a great band: only three records, all of them different and all great. The first one still a rather typical 70's pop-rock album with beautiful melodies, the last one very difficult and disturbing.
Definitely worth checking out.

I like Stereophonics too, but the voice of the singer gets kinda boring when you start listening to whole albums.
I'm not sure on this one, but did they have a song called "Traffic"...I remember hearing that on radio once and it was really impressive. I'll choose it for today.

You must like prog music a lot romansky (counting on some of your previous choices on this thread). I'd like to get better acquainted with those 70's prog bands...Little Feat, Allman Brothers, Yes, etc.

Any favourite albums?

Chose this one before, but I don't care. "Pipe Dreams" by Travis. Still the greatest Scottish band ever.

[doz]

Today i choose "Only The Strongest Will Survive". I can't remember the singer if anyone can help me out. It has that famous lyric in it:
Pain is easy, pressure is cruel.

[soccer fanatic]

Fool`s Garden - Lemon Tree.
Soul Sister - The way to your heart. Great for in the car. :)
Manic Street Preachers - Suicide is painless.
Linkin Park - In The End.
Status Quo - Rockin` all over the world
Bloodhound Gang - Lift your head up high.
And one of my favourites ever:
Mr Big - To be with you.

Punk, rock and most of all the good old classics is what its all about, IMO.

Born in the wrong time I guess. :)

I don't know, bands like the Allmans & Little Feat are not really prog rock to me, they're more influenced by the blues & jazz traditions in America, like the Grateful Dead as well. To me prog was almost exclusively English, bands like Yes, Pink Floyd, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Genesis, etc. Prog was very self-consciously dramatic & orchestrated, the Allmans just jammed (although Pink Floyd was not so much into the image as the songs themselves) But many of the American & English bands from that period shared a mutual affinity for improvisational music, their live performances brought an entirely new dimension to the music. As far as recommendations anything from Pink Floyd from 1970-6 is worth it, Yes "Close to the Edge", EL&P "Brain Salad Surgery" & most of the Genesis albums before Peter Gabriel left the band are interesting. I prefer the the Allman Brothers Band & the GD to most of that prog stuff.

I tried dling some of it. Didn't get too many songs yet. We have one on our work CD, but I can't figure out which one it is yet. Sometimes it's tough to catch songs on those mixed CD's, much less a 4 track one. His stuff is generally always good anyway.

LOL no need for PMs, just click on the replies link to view Looney's metal contributions to this thread ;) My metal song of the day is "Snowblind" by Black Sabbath.

Few if any can compare with Zep. I'll go with "When the Levee Breaks" today.

"Mama you got to move oooh ooh oove"

[ilcapitano]

Black Sabbath? Oh no, my brother forced me to listen to that BS when I was small...he made me memorize the name of the best band in the world. And I always replied "Latsa patsa"...
Never really cared for them myself.
How about some real music from the 70's...like this choice for today: Blue Oyster Cult - (Don't fear) the reaper.

[Looney]

well does Googoo Dolls count as metal? If not, "Big Machine" by Goo Goo Dolls. If so, some teeny boppy crap by Holly Valance or Posh Spice.

"My Rifle, My Pony and Me" by Ricky Nelson and Dean Martin is my song of the day today. An absolutely great tune from the film "Rio Bravo".

Taking a break from songs, if there ever is a WSB Awards as people have discussed, I vote for this to be Thread of the Year.

Picture House- Everybody Loves My Girl
They're an Irish band and i doubt any of ye will have heard of them.

[ilcapitano]

So...it's "local bands" day...I'll choose a band from Finland that has been touring England and middle Europe, but are not very famous either.
The Crash - "Star"

[Looney]

"Hitchin' a ride" by Greenday

[BLAUGRANA]

Not a big fan of my local music scene. Probably the most popular band from Milwaukee was the Gufs or Willy Porter. I prefer Promise Ring though. They are the best band out of Milwaukee for quite some time.

My song of the day is "Folsom Prison Blues" by Johnny Cash.

[doz]

Embrace- My Weakness Is None Of Your Business (oh the irony!;) )

"The Golden Age" by Beck today. His latest album is cool. It's called "Sea Change". I downloaded nearly all of it the other day. Probably his best work yet. You guys should check it out.

If you can find the single that's out for The Golden Age it has a few b-sides not on the album. Beck is playing here at the Beacon in a couple of weeks, I've tickets for the show on 30 October but could not get them for Halloween. The tour features the Flaming Lips as his opening act & backing band!

Today it's "Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell" by Flaming Lips.

I just don't trust these "professionals" anymore. I guess I could choose a squad picture, but then again...they don't look so cool.

Still haven't heard Beck's latest, but I'll choose a classic from his nineties: "Devil's Haircut"

That's such a cool song, (I was in the audience on SNL when he played that) Beck did an alternate mix called "Dark & Lovely" on the single for Devil's Haircut that sounds much more sinister than the album version.

You must really be a CSNY fan. You've chosen them at least twice now, if not more. I too really like some of their stuff. It's too bad they didn't last longer as I think they really would have been great (that's to say even greater). Neil Young did well on his own though.

I'll go with CSNY today too. "Helplessy Hoping". The harmonies are great on this one. Another one of those "deep" songs for me.

I'm a huge CSNY fan, those harmonies are standing the test of time! Yes it's a pity they did not stay together longer but I guess each one thought they were big enough to be solo artistes. I've missed a few days so I'll take a couple of selections, the first being "Old Man" by Neil Young.

[romansky]

"Give Me a Microphone" by Little Barrie, not sure if anyone's heard of these guys, they're from Nottingham & probably the best of Britain's "new funk" scene. Although The New Mastersounds are cool as well, at least a few tracks by both bands are available to d-l, I suggest checking them.

"Sabotage" was huge back then. The song and the video were so big here. My friends and I overplayed it. I actually saw them in concert for that tour.

"So What'cha Want" was probably the most popular Beastie's song for my friends and I back then. LOL! I can here on of my dumb friends back then singing it. LOL!!! :D

Of course the B-Boys were always the coolest, pity it's been 4 years now since Adrock, Mike D & MCA have released an album. I really have not listened to them much recently other than the remix singles from Hello Nasty which are very good but probably out-of-print now. These were the last until the label Grand Royal folded & it seems the Beasties are in semi-retirement now. I still remember hearing Licensed to Ill in the record shop in Maidstone when I was like 15, it changed my life! My Beastie Boys songs of the day are "Get It Together" featuring Q-Tip, followed by "Futterman's Rule."

"Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" by Flaming Lips is my song today. & a reminder that the Lips will be on Late Night with Conan this evening, backing up some guy named Beck.

Needed a few weeks there. Should be song of the Month for me. 'Sister Surround' by The Soundtrack of our Lives. Pure Class.

Right on, with all of the the hype surrounding the Swedish bands, the SOOL is my favourite. Have you heard their first two albums? The new one "Behind the Music" is definitley eclectic, I select Nevermore from that record.

Nice one Looney, I'll continue the J. J. Cale mood with his "Travelling Light."

juanes - "es por ti"

[BLAUGRANA]

"Spit on a Stranger" by Pavement today.

[tok87]

I choose one slovenian song u probably wouldnt know,
Zmeloow - Sergio

[Super Croat]

If you enjoy indi, li-fi pop rock types, you may want to check out a band called Hot Hot Heat (quite possibly the worst band name since Gorky's Zygotic Mynci). The band hails from Victoria, Canada but sound more likely to have been spawned out of the New York underground.

The best and most listen-worthy song is “Bandages”. The other songs are not that great...

[ItalianBoy]

I choose, that new Eminem song.
Whats it called?
:D

[Azerkid]

Jennifer Lopez (:thumbsup: ) "Jennie on the block"

[BLAUGRANA]

"You Were Right" by Badly Drawn Boy. His new album is out today & from all indications is superb.

These guys are pretty good actually, more than just that one song. I like "Get In or Get Out" as well. Being from Vancouver, had you heard of these guys from the local scene before they signed to a major label?

[romansky]

"Roland" by Interpol, the next great NYC band. A lot of their stuff is reminiscent of Joy Division.

[ItalianBoy]

IMO they are ok.
I like "Come as you are" and "Smells like Teen Spirit" but just how it flows.
For the rest I consider Kurt Kobain an idiot.
No offence.

[tok87]

Itaboy.,
la gioventu di Kurt era terribile - come un inferno, i genitori hanno divorziato, quando aveva 7 anni, poi alla madre non importava niente di cosa succedeva all propio figilo.............
cosi non puoi dire che era un idiota, e poi aveva una malatia, che li faceva tanto male il stomaco, prendeva non so quante pillole al giorno, aveva provato piu di 50 medicamenti, ma senza fortuna, ogni volta che mangiava (anche un piccolo pezzetino) gli faceva male.........per questo si e drogato, per non sentire il dolore, aveva scritto (tuuto questo e dal suo diario) se mi sento come un drogato allora mi drogo........

[ItalianBoy]

tok, se quello che dici e' vero. Ok. Ci posso anche ripensare.
Comunque per quello che ne sapevo io, era uno con un botto di problemi.
Cazzi suoi se si drogava. Meglio Morto? non credo.
