Jeremy-by Pearl Jam is good. But like any good grunge song it is based around something really deep, in this case a kid commiting suicide at school.

Tool is my all time favorite-(Warning: Hard stuff)
"stinkfist"


and just incase that didnt disturb you enough here is anotherhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hii17sjSwfA"


Vicarious has to be one of the best songs ever written. It's easy enough to just get carried away by the bass but if you listen to the lyrics it's actually quite deep.

Now for my 2nd-Favorite Led Zeppelin song:

Led Zeppelin's Achilles' Last Stand

I hope they keep touring long enough for me to see them in concert.

God I've heard that in a movie, and loved it? Can anyone remember which one?

Anyway I was thinking of all the greats I've heard then just though of something very great most people don't get to here. Being a bit of a musical whore I just thought instead of putting up: The Beatles, or The Who, or Red Hot Chile Peppers or QoTSA, I'd put his up because this guy sold his soul he's that good. If he didn't then wow. :smile:



I have a limited edition compilation of both him and Howling Wolf, their best of. Just incredible, I was just blown away by the whole music scene then. Really opened my eyes to what music was all about and where it came from. Being a fan of the stuff I heard when I was born to the stuff now, looking back past your scene just makes you go, OMG! :biggrin: I'm such a musical peasant.



You aint heard nothing yet. :smile:

It's like living life in your present without ever hearing classical music.

Hard to believe it was recorded 42 years ago--- --its got a great high energy feel to it--first time that I had heard it was in the film--now when I play it, it also wraps with it the part from the movie.

It was used as a soundtrack in a recent remake ---which are both good. The clip of recent one I think is third down on the list on the right that uses the song.

If you haven't seen it--the movie (to me, its a chic flick) is about a high maintenance, type 'A' female who finally realizes that life is more than money and a job---but, realistically from a critical looking, the guy is handsome, extremely more rich than her, willing to go to jail and loose it all over HER-----'her' ultimate knight in shining armor-----still, a good film for a chic flick

------------
I think the 'final' turning point in the film for her is when the detective says

"..then, he knew you were going to betray him..."

Lauryn Hill-Mystery of Iniquity

I realize there are few hip-hop fans on here, but this song doesn't really qualify as hip-hop, it's more of a poetic rap. Good stuff either way. Non-rap/hip-hop fans should check this one out.

Funkadelic - Maggot Brain (1971)

Released in '71... the same year of Lennon's "Imagine", Harrison's "My Sweet Lord', Stewart's "Maggie May", the Stone's "Brown Sugar".

Nothing came close to this gem. It was decades ahead of it's time.

Mother Earth is pregnant for the third time.
For y’all have knocked her up!
I have tasted the maggots in the mind of the Universe.
I was not offended.
For I knew that I had to rise above it all,
Or drown in my own sh*t!
Maggot Brain

From Wiki:
According to legend, George Clinton, under the influence of LSD, told Eddie Hazel to play the first half of the song like his mother had just died and to play the second half as if he had found out she was alive (other variants of the story suggest that he was simply told to play as if he had found his mother dead.) The result was the 10-minute guitar solo for which Hazel is most fondly remembered by many music critics and fans.

Well it's the http://www.karajan100anniversary.com/ today

On top of the short list of his best works is http://www.karajan100anniversary.com/ . Unfortunately not found so far on youtube.

Another performance then, of the Moldau

But the best symphony ever written, conducted by the best conductor ever.

My first introduction to classical music was Karajan conducting Beethoven's 5th symphony. I haven't found any version as good as the one I first heard.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhcR1ZS2hVo"

Wow! The whole thing is on Youtube!

I heart it too many times I think, but it's on the short list for the title and I'm living only 10 miles from that river.

Same conductor:

A more fortissimo version:
