Fun The Best Music Thread in the Universe!

[elanor]

At the request of elanor, I am posting the results of a thread that originally appeared on the IMDb's Rock forum.

It's nice to have the song titles back. Great that you saved the stuff.

Thank you very much :)

You're welcome.

No Smells Like Teen Spirit? It's one of the most symbolic rock song of the 90s.

What I posted was the opinions of IMDb Rock board members circa May 2015. Your mileage may vary.

What's ABBA doing in this list?

I'll replace it with The Prophets Song of Queen. Underrated, epic song, that Queen fans love as much as BoRhap.

According to Wikipedia, ABBA made also pop rock. But I agree, Dancing Queen sounds totally like pop.

What's ABBA doing in this list?

Don't blame me. The only ABBA I posted was as part of Black Sabbath. ;)

 

[alpha128]

Thank you! I don't remember which songs I posted.

Sorry, I only kept track of my own posts.

I also created the same threads over on IMDB v2.0's Rock Board.

I never quite fit in with my small, rural town surroundings. Then a buddy of mine loaned me this tape. Life was changed, to be sure.

Thank you.

Not necessarily a song I listened to a lot in my youth, but it does sum it up perfectly.

And it comes from the year of my birth...

I am posting this at the request of elanor.

Below are links to two threads that I originally created on the IMDb's Rock forum. I have reposted these at IMDB v2.0.

Elanor asked me to completely recreate these in this forum, but these lists are a lot to maintain, and I would rather not have to maintain them in two places:

2015 Rock/Metal Album Releases
http://imdb2.freeforums.net/thread/1458/2015-rock-metal-album-releases

2016-ish Rock/Metal Album Releases

I do miss those psychedelic days . . . .

I do love the Fab Four's more psychadelic tunes.

Those were the days is a great song. So bittersweet/sad-happy.

Lost youth to me implies years that can no longer be revisited, places that can no longer be seen as they were, and people that are not accessible in the same way, or perhaps there is no way to reach them at all. For a song in the melancholic sense of thinking about memories of places or people once known and no longer seen, I have found the 1980 song "My Face," by John Foxx, to be an excellent example.

Original version:

Live version:

"Do you remember my face? Well, I'm waiting." It's quite a poignant song, I think, with a good melody and poetic lyrics. John Foxx does have quite a few songs with very similar themes, especially from his 1980 Metamatic album, his first solo-album after leaving the band Ultravox.

I try to save some thread ideas from IMDb.

So what's your favourite Power Ballade?
My first entry:
Deep Silent Complete - from the album "Wishmaster" by Nightwish with Tarja

I found it very interesting how different the answers were.

 

[streak1981]

Nightwish.

Sorry, I only kept track of my own posts.

I didn't mean that you should reconstruct all people's choices. I just was overawed that you remembered your choices so well, because I didn't.

I didn't actually remember. At the time I archived the results, I marked the songs that I submitted for future reference.
