The Musical Recommendation Game

[j0be]

Background:
I'm constantly on the lookout for new music, and don't nescessarily limit myself to any given genre of music. This led me to an idea on my drive to work this morning: a musical recommendation thread. I didn't want this to just be a dump whatever you're listening to, however. I want to expand everyone's taste at the same time, and thought of the game aspect. Let's check it out.

The Rules:
This forum game is based on the post before your own. Each post will begin with a reply to the previous post, and then define the genre for the next reply.
For example: Let's say this is the ending to the previous post.

Classic Rock
You could reply with:

The Eagles - Hotel California
Rapcore

And the next person should post an awesome song from the Rapcore genre. Simple once you get the hang of it.

Not sure if this is exactly what you had in mind, but The Club Remix of Sandi Thom's "I Wish I was a Punkrocker (With Flowers in my hair)" was used in a show that I worked on a couple years ago and it caused spontaneous backstage dance parties each night.

[MrScott101]

That's exactly the song I was looking for!! LMAO!

[j0be]

Since this thread basically died (I'm guessing because of the specific song request), I'm going to hop back on to before it was specific. Let's try not to think of a specific song when requesting the next genre or content. Keep it semi general.


any music video that has puppets in it
He Is Legend - The Seduction <-This song is awesome

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mnee6dEg4-Y

Lesser known band from the grunge era

[Beaumont]

STP is a lesser known band? O...K.

Well I was listening to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkdsOWfSXME while listening to the end of the last episode of "we're alive". I sometimes try to fit music to the episodes and this song would fit well with a lot of them.

[kafu288]

I've never heard of S.T.P. Sounds like an unknown band to me

[nikvoodoo]

I've never heard of S.T.P. Sounds like an unknown band to me

This makes me sad.....STP was amazing, and @beaumont, I think you're confused. Scott was asking for lesser known grunge bands, not implying STP was a lesser known band. So in reference to a lesser known grunge band:

Cover Songs that were better as a cover than the original!

[kafu288]

Sam Lloyds cover of Hey Ya as seen on Scrubs - although I genuinly believe that most of teh covers on that show were better than the originals

I'm Too Sexy - Right Said Fred. (Kind of.)

wait, is this your guiltiest pleasure or your favorite work-out song?

[Wicked Sid]

wait, is this your guiltiest pleasure or your favorite work-out song?

Can't it be both?

[Hellbringer]

Can't it be both?

heck, anything is possible. I have been known to bust that song out while working out with my team.

I'm going to say... (there are so many I'm having a hard time choosing)... let's go with The Skids - The Saints Are Coming.

Let's go with Rap-core again.

[nikvoodoo]

Why I do declare it is a crime this thread has been dormant for over 2 months....I'mma fix this!

Let's get this restart off on a nice simple one: Top 40 is next!

[reaper239]

Monster by Skillet (that was in the top 40 at some point right?)


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mjlM_RnsVE&ob=av2e

gothic death metal

[Kc]

The Last Five Years - It's a musical, but it's really great.

[nikvoodoo]

We stretched to the top 40 (I don't think Skillet ever cracked Top 40 charts....maybe in the Gospel/Christian charts but not the mainstream, but I dunno), so I got 2/3rds the request: Gothic Metal....not so much death:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apKvbuI6xYI

Next up: Music to Think by

[Kn1ckerb0cker33]

Telepopmusik - Breathe (Great song for a midnight drive and also to introspect.)

Next Up: Something from the 1980's

[TCM Revolver]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoF_a0-7xVQ&feature=player_detailpage

Austrian -

[j0be]

Wow... Austrian. It's kind of hard to narrow down. Most times you get Austrian music it boils down to classical or Sound of Music-esque. Or you get a ton of accordions, and I'm not a fan of accordions. I love the Sound of Music, so you're going to get 'The Hills Are Alive'. As I was looking for a good youtube of it, I found a really nice acoustic guitar cover of the song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3yVbzpcLcI


Let's go with Upbeat bluegrass as the next one.

Ska -

[Vlarken]

Recently discovered these guys and found them amazing. I suppose they're technically black metal, but they combine a lot of melodeath and thrash in there as well, and they're quite technically sound. Also it's just plain odd to hear of a black metal band originating in Israel.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0O5D0A-YHxg

[Davion]

Listen to good music, I also listened.
