[RippedOffMattress 314]

The Lonely Island - Threw It On The Ground 6/10 Eh, TLI's been wearing down on me recently. They're just not as funny anymore. It's still ok though.

 

Nirvana - Pennyroal Tea (mixed by Scott Litt) 6/10 Probably one of In Utero's weaker songs with the melancholic dragging a bit too much in the verses, and Kurt's screeching on the chorus got old quick. It's still ok though.

 

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Breaking The Girl 4.5/10 I'm really not a fan of whenever the Peppers try to do this slow, repetitive rock that they always do whenever they're not doing what actually makes them good, which is their upbeat and more funky tunes. Seeing as they like to go this boring direction a lot, that really turns me off from their stuff that isn't BSSM.)

 

The Velvet Underground - Sunday Morning 10/10 Absolutely LOVE this song and the rest of this genius album! Hell, I remember first hearing them, I was a bit iffy with their stuff at first, but even then, this track was the main gateway into fully emerging myself with TVU's brilliance! 

 

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps 9/10 So much Rock Band nostalgia from this one!

[Guest90210 3,568]

Hallelujah by Rufus Wainwright - 10/10 - My favorite rendition of this classic.

 

Open Your Eyes by Alter Bridge - 10/10 - One of my favorite songs by Alter Bridge.

 

The Party by ICP - 0/10 - Honestly one of the worst songs ever made. Only reason I still have it is because I like to listen to entire albums at once and this is unfortunately part of one. The scratching is extremely annoying and I'm pretty sure the lyrics to this atrocity were written in under five minutes.

 

Cold by Crossfade - 9/10 - The only Crossfade song I know. I should look up more of their music.

 

Heroes of Our Time by DragonForce - 10/10 - Epic.

[CloserToTheSun 732]

 

Hallelujah by Rufus Wainwright - 10/10 - My favorite rendition of this classic.

 

 

Really? I personally love Jeff Buckley's version. Just....amazing.

 

1. "Sunrise" by 808 State (7/10)

2. "Electric Worm" by The Beastie Boys (9/10)

3. "Talk Dirty To Me (Poison cover)" by Reel Big Fish (7/10)

4. "Mutual Slump" by DJ Shadow (9.5/10)

5. "Why Am I so Tired?" by Smashing Pumpkins (9.5/10)

Yeah. Buckley's version is definitely a close second but I find Wainwright's version to be more...consistent should I say? Not sure if that's the right work to explain but Buckley's tempo changes a lot throughout the song which I don't really like. It's still great though.

 

 

Run to the Hills by Iron Maiden - 10/10 - Does this need an explanation?

 

It's Not My Time by 3 Doors Down - 9/10 - Great song by a great band.

 

Rollin' by Limp Bizkit - 6/10 - Anyone who watched WWE back in the day knows this song as the Undertaker's theme. If it wasn't his theme I would probably give this a 3/10 cause it's really not a good song but nostalgia makes it better.

 

Creep by Stone Temple Pilots - 9.5/10 - Awesome. For some reason I see a lot of people miscrediting this as a Nirvana song.

 

New Kid in School by The Donnas - 9/10 - Rock Band 2 anyone? That game (and Guitar Hero) introduced me to so much great music.

I understand, but Buckley makes it his own. I mean, Leonard Cohen admitted that's the way it should have been done for the beginning.

 

As for "Creep", I enjoy it, but there are far better STP songs. Also, you know you don't have to give explanations or anything like that.

 

1. "Superman (The Clique cover)" by R.E.M. (9/10)

2. "Who Do You Want To Be Today" by Oingo Boinog (7/10)

[idlemichael 7]

1. Higher Than The Sun - Primal Scream - a glorious slice of trippy light dub from one of the best albums of the 1990s. Beautiful. 7/10

2. The Knock (Drums of Death Part 2) - UNKLE - Mike D from the Beastie Boys plus excellent over-produced heavy beats and samples. 8/10

3. This Is Hardcore - Pulp - Title track from the album of the same name. Dark, moody and sexy in the wrongest way imaginable. 7/10

4. Pork And Beans - Weezer - I love the chorus on this one but not a fan of the verses. Is it possible to like half a song? 6/10

5. Dead! - My Chemical Romance - Not my favourite song off the Black Parade album but still a great one to shout along to. 7/10

 

Hmmm... not a bad average there!

[Sapphire Quill 1,186]

You Never Know - Immortal Technique Ft. Jean Grae (10/10)
