I'd like to see how varied our music tastes are, and hopefully we may discover new bands and artists in the process. This sort of thing probably happens in lots of other forums you guys are in, but the idea is to post 3 songs in your comment; Your favorite song of all time, your favorite song that gets you pumped up for racing/driving, and finally the song that's currently stuck in your head. You can give reasons for each choice and a link to the song if you want to, but it's not essential. Here's my three:
Favorite song: Walknut - Come Dreadful Ygg
Last year I went to the F1 young driver test in Silverstone with a few friends, which was a journey of over 200 miles from our home town. My friend from the band brought his ipod for us to listen to on the way, and we're all seriously into Black Metal. This song came on half way through the journey and from then on I've been hooked onto this band, even though they barely produced anything in their time. I get more pleasure from the darker side of music, as it sends my imagination spiraling much more than positive and upbeat songs. As much as I love the musical arrangement of this song, my favorite aspect of it is the vocals. Deep and dark, yet simplistic and not taking anything away from the overall sound. Modern music focuses too much on singing nowadays, and I connect to epic sounds much more than spoken words any day.
Favorite Racing/Driving song: Davenition - Next Level
On the complete opposite end of the scale, I simply love Hardstyle music. Nothing much else to say about it other than I'm addicted to bass. I don't really enjoy listening to music whilst I'm racing, but I do like to listen to a few tracks before a GTA playlist to get me pumped up. I could have picked many songs for this category, but this one I feel does the best job!
Song stuck in my head: Jessy Matador - Allez, Ola, Ole
Every year my other half forces me to watch the Eurovision song contest. The music is often terrible but it's at least funny to take the piss out of the whole thing. This song was France's entry during the 2010 competition, and was the first year we watched it together as a couple. Ever since then she's had this song on her ipod, and casually likes to remind me of its existence... I actually don't mind it too much because it remains a funny memory, but by GOD is it cringe worthy! xD

love the idea and your song choices Lewis, i decided to add another category as well as my second place songs
Favorite Song: Arctic Monkeys - Do I Wanna Know Second Place: Jack White - Freedom at 21Call me a hipster, call me a proto-hipster, either way I liked these guys before everyone else got onto their bandwagon. Darker than their previous albums, but a good listen that everyone should hear atleast once.Favorite Racing/Driving song: USS - This Is The Best Second Place: Hollerado - Juliette A mix of dubstep, drum and bass, alternative rock and probably much more. Great song, especially for racing, gets the blood pumping, adrenaline running to make you want to win lol. Song stuck in my head: Hozier - Take Me To Church Second Place: Lana Del Rey - Sad Girl You would think this song would be filed under Religious music, but its far from it. Eerie background piano and drums, voice that sounds like Elton John and Dan Auerbach merged into one. Pretty epic song if you ask me.Favorite Album: Arctic Monkeys - AM Second Place: Lana Del Rey - Born To Die The Paradise Edition Honorable Mention: Lobo - Greatest Hits
Both albums for me can be listened to continuously, days on end sometimes, but the music is refreshing song after song.

oooo, theres so many to choose from... ive a very eclectic music taste so can listen to anything from Metallica to mozart...
im gonna have to give this some thought, struggle with "favourite" anythings lol
Ok.. ive had a thought and while im sitting here listening to my "old school nu-metal" and this beauty comes on... im not a huge slipknot fan... but no matter what this song always give me goosebumps.... theres just something about playing a keg with a baseball bat that just seems to set me off, reminds me of teenage rebellion, not giving a fuck, destroying my body jumping off roofs (before parkour as cool) and downright all out debauchery.... for now this is in my top 3
I push my fingers in to myyyyyyyyyyyyyyy..... EYESSSSS
so ive thought of another one.... this guy has been one of my favourite artists since i first discovered him back in 2009... he was touring the world paying his way through busking... I was lucky enough to go see him live in manchester a few years back and through one reason or another became friends with most of the artists on his record label (one of his producers regular chats to the Mrs and asks her to hook him up with a massage everytime hes in the area) .... if you like beatbox.. loop statiosn and just gernally feel good music DubFx will hook you up.... its really ahr dto pic a favourite of his tracks (or to not include other artists from the Convoy label) but im throwing down "Society Gates" because its lyrically awesome, shows off some of the best of his skills
Remember everything you hear in this video starts as a human sound, modified, distorted, looped and loved.
although im really not doing my varied taste in music justice in adding this as my number 3... i jsut cant not share this video with you guys.... so heres the story...
back in 2012 i went to a festival (Shambala UK) while i was there i saw an awesome band that ticked all the box for me... im big into my beatbox (i try it myself sometimes but i wont subject it on the public).... im also a big fan of blues/bluegrass too... so were strolling around an i wander into a tent... to be intriduced to "the worlds first and onyl BLUES BEATBOX band)... now i was blown away by these guys... the mrs nearly fell in love with the leather clad aficionado of the guitar that serenaded us form the stage... i was in a bassland of wonderment at the raw and edgy beatbox licks...
18 months, many drinks and a few sleeps later i was showing a Friend of mine DubFX and she asked me if id every heard of a band called "Hey Moonshaker" and that she thought id really like them... I said i hadnt so on goes this video... i was amazed as it was the same band we saw at the festival, playing the first damn song of their set... I then realised that Dave Crowe (the beatbox element) had been a regular on my youtube playlist but for his solo street session stuff...
just because i struggle wiht authority im sharing two of their videos for your audible enjoyment... youll notice they ahve less than 300k views on their videos but deserve far more recognition (these guys busk their way to pay for travel tickets to their own damn shows... usually cos they spent their money on beer).... If you like stuff like BB King, Muddy Waters, Avett brothers... but also have a penchant towards Pendulum, Prodigy, or any form of beatbox i invite you to sample some of the most fun ive had with jsut my ears..
Ps i highly recommend you dont let the Mrs listen to or watch these videos...if shes anything like mine shes likely to attempt to run off with the singer

Some interesting and diverse tastes already on display on this thread! 'This is the Best' certainly gets the job done Speedster. It's funny how normally I would tell you that music like that doesn't appeal to me, yet I rather enjoy that song. The vocals fit the music almost perfectly! Was also nice to listen to Slipknot once again. It must be around 5 years since I last listened to a song from that period of their existence. IOWA is right up there in my favorite albums of all time.

Good stuff. I know the name DubFX from my own trawls thru the world of beatbox. Funnily enough, it ties in with a beatboxer we saw doing an impromptu performance in the woods at Shambala, MC Xander. Near enough the same sort of thing that's going on in the DubFX vid (hell, could be the same person for all I know....)
I have very broad taste but it runs to the obscure more often than not, most popular stuff that people know leaves me a bit cold. I like an edge. Was a metaller in my youth, after being into hip hop as an early teen, then punk, industrial metal to industrial techno, trance, dnb, dubstep etc, but with an ongoing appreciation for roots music... Pretty much covers everything... In recent years my acquisition of new sounds is totally focused on downloading mixes, mostly from Percussion Lab and Solid Steels page on Soundcloud but basically anywhere the links take me. It means my listening spectrum is actually broader than my tastes now as I'll take a chance on anything that looks a bit different. Special favourites are the mixes that offer a soundscape journey through multiple genres... I've even got some mixes of my own that blend deeper trip hop style instrumentals with film/TV samples, a few vocal tracks, forays into upbeat or abstract things.... Soundscaping again...
Anyway, obviously impossible to pick out favourites and such so I'll just pick stuff that's made an impression on my life.
1st up. Cinematic Orchestra ft. Fontella Bass- All That You Give Their Live at the Albert Hall album is just a beautiful thing. This is my favourite track from it (official vid, not the live version, harp is OP in this one). We used it as our first dance at our wedding and it was rather poignant for me. I kind of belted it out as well....
2nd. Underworld- Cowgirl A different order of music but still not really representing my love of the darker, harder side of things. I wouldn't rank this tune among my all time favourites but this album (dubnobasswithmyheadman) had a huge impact on me at the time, it basically opened me up to dance music. This track has one of my favourite jump around moments from it. I bought it because it was billed as a crossover album and I was very much into the rawer, underground indie/grunge then, making masses of mixtapes from John Peel shows and digging the stompier things he'd sometimes play. Went off Underworld in a major way, they just went downhill from this album imo.
Ummmmm...... Need moar thinkings...
Ok. Journeys by DJ: Coldcut was a MASSIVE influence on me and is almost single handedly responsible for my music tastes to this day. This is a track from that album that is right and representative in so many ways. 2 Player- Extreme Possibilities (Wagon Christ Remix)
Finally, favourite album would have to be Tom Waits- Big Time I grew up listening to this guy. I have every album he's released but this is head and shoulders above the others and is an incredibly rare thing in that I still listen to it regularly. I tend to listen to new stuff almost exclusively. Here he is in full flow.

Underworld, good choice cuz... We have sonev similar tastes

Favorite song - This is really impossible because I love such a wide range of music, but since I have to pick I'll choose something from my favorite album, John Mellencamp's Scarecrow.
(I'm cheating here, but the songs are back to back on the album and I can't here Small Town without listening to Grandma's Theme first.)
Que them both up past the ads so you can actually listen to them back to back
The get pumped Gun 'n' Fucking Roses baby - Get in the Ring "I don't like you, I just hate you, I'm gonna KICK YOUR ASS!"
Currently stuck in my head. Well, Timber by Ke$ha is a total fucking earworm, but how about something good that I've been listening too lately? I've been on a Tupac kick. Troublesome '96 - My GTAF sig comes from the lyrics here, as does the message on my SC profile.

As a rule, music irritates me. I don't know if it's because i'm getting older or if i'm turning into my mother "shudder" but I can't tolerate music for long in certain situations. I generally listen to one type of music/artist until I get bored then move on. I don't like listening to too much at once if that makes sense? Started off into Take That (what Teen girl wasn't?!), then moved on to Snoop, Dre etc (my mother hated that), then more grungier stuff, papa Roach, Limp Bizkit etc, then Drum and Bass (thankfully I left home at 17 so my mum didn't put up with this for long) The only artist that has been on my ipod for the last 8 months or so (and I do listen to them everyday) is The Specktators. They are an American Hip Hop collective who haven't been signed, they produce all their own material, that have completely captured my attention. From the outside they do appear to be the typical "white boy rappers" (no offence intended with this comment) but I love them. Not everyones cup of tea though. www.youtube.com/user/moeteemuzikThe second artist that I will always go back to, and who I can't run on the treadmill without, is Pendulum. Utterly amazing. Music to lose yourself in. Would love to see them live. My favourite.

Probably
There are loads I like just as much but I do like listening to this.
But the best is
because of the controversy it brought with it's massive impact. I'll never get bored of listening to them, ever. I even have the original vinyl single that got banned just after it was released for sale which my mum bought at the time (I wasn't alive).

Nice, Cuz. I own nearly everything Tom Waits has ever released. Black Wings from Bone Machine is my favorite of his.

Fek, another fail. Feel free to explain as if to a 10 year old exactly which buttons to press in which order to get something that doesn't look like some alien code appear in the post like what all you smart people have managed to do with no problem at all. DOH!

If your adding a yt vid trak just paste the link to the video in to your post.
The forum should do some technical wizardry and embed it into the post automatically. At least thats all i do

As long as the music vid you are trying to post is pre-1993 Trak, the above should work. After 1993 it's irrelevant, as that's when all forms of listenable music died.

Wow Deej, so music died with Grunge? Still holding onto that mullet and blasting Poison out the windows of your Trans-Am?

That is at the Yin end of my listening spectrum. This is the yang. You-tube doesn't quite do it justice. Volume is required for full mental effect. For some reason it is a track that elicits fits, tics and convulsions in my nervous system and barely controllable urges to break stuff. Not safe for listening to whilst driving.
The previous song was written by Tim Buckley, the father of Jeff Buckley, an all round musical genious and the ex~lover of the lady singing it, Lis Fraser, who had recently died in a tragic drowning accident. Just to provide some poignant background to the performance.

And finally the most influential thing a young would be guitar player ever heard coming over the radio in a hazy wave from pirate radio late one 1970 night. The alternate version for all time.

I am more pleased than I probably should be that at least one person did not think all of my choices were complete shit. Putting my personal choices up for people to scrutinise was somehow worrying to me not being a member of the "share everything" facebook generation. Inordinately chuffed someone liked something I like.. Cheers Deej.
