The Sugarcubes - 8/10 I like it! They have a really original sound.

7/10.

Minnie Riperton - Perfect Angel



The only modern music I listen to are various indie bands/artists. I hate 99% of the radio-friendly bands/artists of today. But every year, at least a few good popular artists come out.

Since last year, the main stuff I've been listening to is vocal-oriented music from the 50's to the early 70's. It's weird though - I hardly listen to music anymore, but when I do, it's through headphones. I used to play music loudly through my speakers non-stop throughout the day.

7.5/10

9/10 - Excellent, wish the clip was longer!

tullycraft 8/10 - i love twee ^__^ thanks for compliment on my taste
lena park 4/10 - she has a good voice but i don't like her singing
sugarcubes 7/10 - is that bjork??
minnie riperton ?/10 - for some reason it won't play
victor wooten 6/10 - its very good technically but i'm not the biggest fan of instrumental jams like that
jonsi - 6/10 - think i like his stuff with sigur ros better. at first i thought it was a chick singing though!

sunny day service - slow rider

6.5/10 It was decent but it's still not to my tastes.
I was going to find a different opeth song but I really liked this video.

8/10.

Though it isn't my favorite Opeth song, I like it quite a bit.

Opeth - The Moor

Chair, the player just shows up as a white box. I looked the song up on youtube.

8/10 - That song rocks It makes me want to go outside and start breaking stuff!

Here's something more on the relaxing/"spaced out" side.

opeth - harvest (7/10) i don't know much opeth but that is my favourite song ive heard by them
opeth - the moor (6/10) i really like the acoustic guitar at the beginning. the rest isn't bad though!
quruli - superstar (8/10) i love quruli! so here's another quruli song (:


i really love this video

I think I'm the only other one here that appreciates Quruli so I'm gonna rate it before someone gives it a 5/10

8/10!

Here's some inspirational music. The girl in this video is too hot

3/10

5/10.

Last post in this thread for awhile. I promise

Chair, I'm not sure which type of Japanese electronic you're thinking of, given you don't seem to like pop music too much, but I'll throw a few names out there for you to look at it:
-Boom Boom Satellites
-RAMRIDER
-COLTEMONIKHA
-MEG
-DJ Krush
-Towa Tei
-immi

They all I have very different sounds, you may like one, or not

Here's one of my favorites

i thought i saw chair say something about people here listening to the japanese equivalent of north-american top-40 pop but i don't see it anymore. i had a reply thought up and i'll still post it cuz i kind of resent that comment .__.

not that i know what plays on north american radio anyway. i guess i do have my alarm set to cbc radio 2 one when i wake up but that's hardly top 40 stuff. i just like my music mellow with catchy hooks. the japanese music i listen to would be somewhat the equivalent of indie music here, i think. except without the whiney douchebags in their neon plastic framed wayfarer glasses, unwashed t-shirts, tight pants et al. and i don't have to hear all the indie snobs preaching their pitchfork propaganda. i guess japanese indie music doesn't seem to have that stigma to me. but yea i like older north american indie music for that same fact, i can feel distanced from the whole scene.

jeff buckley - grace (7/10) i like jeff buckley but he's no tim
dj krush - final home (8/10) i like da beats, not sure about the vocals. i notice the version you posted is the "vocal version", so i'm sure i'd like the normal one more and i rated that
move - passenger seat (4/10) was hoping it would be the other move

some more of my radio friendly japanese pop:

5

Nao - Kimi ga Anata ga



I didn't know there was another move, unless you mean their newer style which is more rock.

i meant the late 60's early 70's incarnation with roy wood

Nao - Kimi ga Anata ga 6/10

7/10.





I deleted my post since some people seem to think "pop" means "shit", when in reality, it doesn't. To me, a lot of the stuff which has been posted here sounds like stuff which, in North America, would be the equivalent of pop. There's nothing wrong with this. Other than the language difference, I don't see anything which would distinguish the two.

And no... not everyone here has been posting "pop", but a lot have (or at least what I perceive as being pop).

9/10 - his first few albums were really good

There's no such thing as a shitty genre, every genre has its share of both brilliant musicians and crappy musicians.

5/10.

I like the Velvet Underground but don't like that song by them.

Bob Marley - Waiting in Vain

0/10 - Hate Bob Marley.

0 - I watched the whole video, and heard no song =X

5/10 it's to short

5/10 - gets a bit repetitive for me



I'm generally unimpressed by pop artists but I find this remix pretty good.

8.2

Here's another 2009 remix:
