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

This song has a very unique sound, but it’s my favorite song by Rush.



And I’ll also add a song by Pink Floyd.

Queen not Rush? I need to know which Rush song now!

Floyd are brilliant- so many to choose from.

A tear jerker. I had my heart ripped out once and refused to ever fall in love again. I remain single to this day.

I make a point of listening to every song even all the Sigrid ones
I didn’t realize it was that song and the name did not ring a bell
I’ve always liked it without knowing what he said.
That is very sad Evo if that if the way you feel.
There are things and experiences of breath-taking beauty out there.
Just remember the smartest men will admit to understanding less about women than they do about QFT.
I am going to search a few a couple of bitter sweet songs for you
People rarely write good songs about feeling happy

Good song,

I enjoy a lot of classical, but the Blue Danube is definitely my fav.

Am also a huge Pink Floyd fan :smile: and "Wish you were here" and "Dark side of the Moon" definitely my fav albums of theirs

I think we are safe classical music

This is one of the most uplifting pieces of music I have ever heard, it makes want to get on a horse ride a horse into battle and I am terrified of horses! (headphones required play loud!)


another stunning piece of classical :)

haven't played that for a few years ... thankyou :smile: ,
brings tears to my eyes

Takes me back to my childhood when mom and dad took us kids to a film " ,this is New Zealand"
and that music was played as a you were in a aircraft view flying down mountain and river valleys
etc

a short excerpt from it ...

Yes I think this was where kids were introduced to classical music in the 70s, not at school and not home (mum was not educated but had great taste)

The Sibelius one was from a current affairs program called, "This Week"

We also had this one, I found out much later that this was by a band called mountain

Funny it was on in NZ at the same time, some music is just great and everyone agrees no matter what era

This one scared me as a kid but I thought it was amazing too, I worked it out and was amazed it was just one chord with a descending bass, mainly.

Bach did one in Dm with a bass thing going on that had a similar part, could be the inspiration.

Ok, I’ve been resisting posting these for awhile, but think I have to.





Let me know if these don’t work and I’ll try to find ones that will. I don’t know if anyone else has noticed but the “VEVO” videos and the “topic” videos don’t seem to work in some countries.

No hate them, I've tried. I adore choral music (I sang in a choir) but I cannot get into opera. Not keen on solo type stuff either. Arias?Sorry showing ignorance here.

I like Mozart and love this, its all good but from 5.28 is just fantastic

Ok, but I had to post them :biggrin:, since I think they are awesome. And I love Carmen.

I think its the sound, vibrato? In choral it is more a block a wall of sound

That Foo fighters is funny! Rick Astley!? Brilliant

Chorus music can be very powerful, sometimes it feels like some kind of primordial sound.
And yes Jean Michal Jarre <3
