In summary: I don't know what to choose.I like alternative and classic rock with a few random songs sprinkled in.I like this song. Its really cute.This Requiem of Spirit version is too epic for this world.Let's bring back retro 70's!In summary, the very talented 21 year old Norwegian singer and songwriter Sigrid received a DMCA request to take down the previous "Best songs ever" thread, so she started a new one. She says she cannot pick a favorite song or artist, and that there are too many good songs to choose from. She lists some of her favorite songs and performers, including Boston, Japan, and Paul Simon. She finishes the summary by saying that harmony was a creation of the bar

Wow, I really like that! I used to listen to Dave Weckl's Live and Very Plugged In back in high school a lot, but I like this even better (mostly because Kenny G has made me unable to listen to most music with saxophone in it.)

Kind of reminds me of Tribal Tech Face First in places.

Yes, I admit, I'm a bit obsessed with Chvrches :smile:, so this will be my last post about them for now.
I instantly fell in love with them when I heard their song "Never Ending Circles", and then I listened to their three albums and liked or loved everything I heard. I think it's the songwriting skills and special kind of "purity" I feel their music conveys, and on top of it all a very clear and bright female voice. I am eagerly awating their fourth album.

A fun thing I learned is that the vocalist Lauren Mayberry was initially a drummer. When she joined with the two others to form Chvrches, it was intended that she would do backing vocals. But when they heard her singing abilities, she was promoted to lead singer :smile:.

If I'm not mistaken, I think these two are their most famous songs:

CHVRCHES - The Mother We Share
(and I think the video effects at 2:23 and onwards are very cool too)


CHVRCHES - Miracle (Official Video)

Some good chillout/electronic tracks I've been listening to lately:

Groove Armada - History (very groovy)
Groove Armada - Inside My Mind (Blue Skies) (very nice)
Sine - The Return (instrumental, wonderful synthesizers)
Lovers lane - Island memories (very nice chillout)
Not electronica, but good:

Maggie Rogers - Back In My Body
Laurel - Same Mistakes (not electronica, but good)

One of my current favorite bands, Nothing But Thieves, releases their third album, Moral Panic, tomorrow. I've just bought tickets to a show they (hopefully) will be playing in Copenhagen a year from now, depending on the Covid situation, of course. I've eagerly been awaiting for an opportunity to see them live, since they sound great live, judging from all the live clips I've seen on youtube.

Here are two new songs from their new album, wonderfully performed live with orchestras:

Nothing But Thieves - Impossible (Orchestral Version - Live at Abbey Road)
(original song is here)
Nothing But Thieves x Bucharest Symphony Orchestra - Real Love Song
(original song is here)

This is comparably serious! Have a look at this:


Edit: But since I found that most christmas songs have a metal version, I completely changed my opinion about christmas songs.

I really liked some of the music put out by Beirut. It is a very creative mix of Eastern European and Alternative with a dash of Mariachi

I LOVE Phantom. I actually saw the original opening in Los Angeles. It was a night to remember!

Have you watched the movie? I just love the scene where they do Beyond the Point of No Return.
