Rate The Song Above You

First topic message reminder :

The aim of this thread is that I will post a YouTube link up to a song that I am a fan of. The next person that comments rates the song out of ten and then puts his own link up and so on and so on! Hope it picks up, its a way for everyone to be introduced to others music tastes!

Not the biggest Radiohead fan in general, but that's a good 'un. 7/10

My favourite and IMO most underrated song by this band-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3hyrkzFRss

That's a good'un though I do prefer their first album. Gone a bit downhill since then imo. 7.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcLGqQzf9-Y

Phhoking excellent. 10/10.

Never even heard of it, or them - before. Love it when I can still find good music man. I'm an extremely fussy chunt. But that was top-drawer. In all fairness.


Danke.

10/10. Love Chrissy



This is an Aussie band i started liking back in the day when i was a young man

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmyEv4n8ERI

I'm tempted to give it a negative rating just for that Cork jibe yesterday but it's a good song


8/10

Spoiler:

I only realised the second time I listened to this that it's about sport! (american football)

8/10. I liked it in a boy-bandy type of way, reminded me of the Script a little.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGpwKQo5_Z0

Very good, 8/10 liked the video by the user too.

Spoiler:

Obscure 7/10

The best Beatles cover, ever.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_iQZiVD_zA&feature=youtube_gdata_player

It's hands down the best version of the song. 9/10.

Seeing as I missed Thomond's Fountains of Wayne song earlier:

https://youtu.be/vMn_5waf5uA

Never really heard of them other than Stacey's Mom but this was ok - 7/10

Something from my favourite band

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnzIrRykilA

Everyone always seems to be talking about them but I haven't listened to them much. 8/10 though I enjoyed it.

Spoiler:

If Simpsons songs don't count, I have a second option

Spoiler:

But Main Street's still all cracked and broken!
- Sorry, Mom, the mob has spoken.

9/10.

https://youtu.be/6AwXKJoKJz4

Gonna give it a 9 because it reminded me of Dodgeball...hilarious film

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGvE-UbvSVo

I wasn't bowled over by it, but it has its charms. 6.5/10.

https://youtu.be/a0noN2tvaHE

7/10 I prefer the likes of "While my Guitar".

Something a little different:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUYI4wEP1qI

Sooo nice. Loving your slightly off-centre input, CJ. It's refreshing man. 9/10.

This Lady, to me, had the best white female voice of all time. She still has.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPmbT5XC-q0

Love The Carpenters Gibbo 8/10.

Shame she had to leave us so early



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrGuVa-4BVE

I really liked that. It's from their '90s album and I don't have that one, but pretty damn good. I love David Gilmour's singing voice: he doesn't shout, he just lets the notes float out. 7.5/10.

https://youtu.be/SPptTa3P-Hc

The Floyd! Da's favourite band. Never heard that one before either, 8/10

My go-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoz8iXjfH4Y

Not my fave song by the Artist but up there

A fine cover of a great song. 8/10. Funnily enough, they played the Zombies' original on the radio this morning!

https://youtu.be/nFmQ2FjafZE

Don't really like that sort of music but it's alright - 6.5/10

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UE07GZAJuaM

I didn't mind the video but the song didn't really do anything for me 6/10.

I know my musical taste isn't everyone's cup of tea but I'm an oldie. I heard this today for the first time.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiszJsNvtmU&feature=related

Didn't mind that, nice organ underneath it all and noodly guitars, good mastering. I'd say 7/10

Wall of sound indie folk coming up, strange words to use in the same sentence...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7D3v9VkCdjQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Didn't expect to enjoy it at first but it grew in me - 7/10

Now for a bit of country but a great song for the summer, with tones of Surfin Bird and Wipeout.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15vt9G-dtDY

Little country-esque, I liked it, 8/10

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXe1jpHPnUs

It was decent not my forte but still 6.5/10



This popped into my head this morning so, was one of those songs I remember was a massive hit in the early 2000s as I was growing up, alright song, not great but grand summer/karaoke job.

Spoiler:

I know that song from somewhere... 8/10 good solid happy song.

Btw, disliking Jeff Buckley is sacrilege!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wz5_tkg2YGc

Not a fan of remixing songs. Was okay but would have preffered one or the other. 6.5/10

Spoiler:

I like Kanye West. He's a bit weird, but that's no bad thing in my book. 7.5/10.

https://youtu.be/moCSndrmBZE

5.5/10, sorry mate, not my kind of Hip-Hop (I presume? Only really listen to Eminem on that front to be honest.

Time for some Indie now...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rePcHxFJIuU

You've got to love a bit of Death Cab. 8/10.

https://youtu.be/7IGW27jpsqY

Don't know many of the beach boys songs, but this one is more slanted than I've heard before. It's like they found the tin with the good stuff in it and i like it 7.5/10.

Don't worry baby, we're gonna crank it up with some shihad

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lv7nx_zTW-I&feature=youtube_gdata_player

That video is not accesible to Irish people anyway so on that basis I give it zero!


This might work out well though

Spoiler:

Nice song Thormond, I'd never heard of them so I'll check them out 8/10 for me

I really couldn't decide on an artist/genre/style but in the end plonked for this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3TV6vOt4Mc

Hope it works

Weddol and a bit.

17/23

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QexOuH8GS-Y&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Cheers Glas

(for everyone else 'Weddol' means ok)

I'd never heard of that band, I quite like them and have been listening to some of their other stuff on Youtube.

I'll leave someone else rate the song though as I don't want to hog the thread (am listening to the Cult currently)

Okay then, I'll rate it: 8/10. It's a bit of a classic and the fact that the singer's voice is a bit weedy / borderline crap makes me like it all the more.

https://youtu.be/HC3oL70lJ-Y

The Stones will always get at least an 8/10. I'm a fan of the original stuff.

Anyone who is called Paisley must get 10/10

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3Ti4OmaNeI

9/10 Like the song and Vandross' version is unreal.

Spoiler:

OutKast were / are great. Are they still going? 8/10.

https://youtu.be/Xqy5nrzhs0g

Excellent choice 9/10

Another odd one from me: not suitable for children or people adverse to swear words, sorry


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmpeYZ2Bhc8

Btw it's not to be taken too seriously and apologies for the bloody awful English by whoever made that video

For less offensive viewing:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVpv8-5XWOI

I quite like that song albeit from Glee of all places - 9/10

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lkJkwnXQZ8

7/10, I like Fall Out Boy, but they can bee a little weedy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TN9SQAcW5Dw

Excellent. 27/29

And now for something completely different


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HG9Fr02efuo&feature=youtube_gdata_player

9/10, great stuff. Simple yet pure fun

Lesser known song by what I feel is one of the most underrated bands in history

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKvllT4I9w0

Good tune 8/10

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEz8N8AT-yo

I liked that, more my style 8/10

Darwin deez...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0qIj24lrEg&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I'll give it a 7/10, I don't mind Darwin Deez but prefer some of the other indie/alternative/rocky bands out.

Try this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Gbtm-93oqE&feature=related

Always makes me laugh
