Reco-s

Anything to get past the earlier post, I thought I would put up some of the stuff that I listen to. Many a time, I find it hard to find good music, and if you find yourself in the same rut, maybe this will help you.
  1. Meatloaf & Marion Raven - It's All Coming Back To Me Now: Personally, I really like it. It's one of those slowish rock songs, with a lot of piano. But what makes it brilliant is the duet between Meatloaf and Raven, it's beautifully put together.
  2. Oasis - Masterplan: Known to most as emotional or "cry-ey" song makers , Oasis fail to disappoint with another similar rendition. But hey, it's still really good. It's a very new song, and will do well on the charts. A must hear.
  3. Christina Aguilera - Hurt: Yeah fine, everyone considers her to be one of the "Britney-Spears" types, but no one can deny her ability to sing. Hurt is an okay song technically, but Christina Aguilera's voice will just blow you away. Shit, she is awesome. It starts of as a piano acoustic, and then moves into some drums and violin. I really enjoy listening to it.
  4. The Scorpions - Hurricane 2000: Ali made me listen to this, and the intro just makes me listen to it over and over again. It's a re-make of the Scoripions-hit, Rock You Like A Hurricane, but with an orchestra backing it. Again, brilliant.
  5. Rascal Flatts - What Hurts The Most: This Tejas recommended to me, in his bid to tell me how he could relate so much to it. Sometimes, that's what makes a song awesome, the fact that you can relate to every word. Anyway, it's a good song. I like the lead singer's voice.
  6. Jimmy Eat World - Pain: I love the pace of this song, and the name "pain" is very daunting. I love listening to it!
  7. Good Charlotte - Emotionless: A very emotion-full song - that's why I like it.
  8. Matchbox Twenty - Soul: I had to put an unheard-of Matchbox Twenty song to pay homage to my favourite band. This song is full of energy. Maybe you won't like it when you hear it for the first time, but the words and the passion makes it a very close-to-the-heart song once you start liking it.
  9. Snow Patrol Featuring Martha Wainwright - Set The Fire To The Third Bar: The new Snow Patrol song that really grows on you. This one has been on my playlist for quite some time. It once, meant a lot to me.
  10. Razorlight - America: It's a very nice song to listen. Just nice. I thought I did not like it, but then I heard it randomly and I was like "nice".
A few hard songs which I love listening to at full volume when I am pissed off or when I require energetic inspiration:
  1. Cobra Starship - Snakes On A Plane
  2. 30 Seconds To Mars - The Kill
  3. Shinedown - Save Me
  4. Crossfade - Cold
  5. 3 Doors Down - This Time (Tejas' recommended)
  6. My Chemical Romance - Helena
  7. Incubus - Megalomaniac (Nishant's recommended)
  8. Tantric - Mourning
  9. Silverchair - Tomorrow
Enjoy!

P.S. Any recommendations?

ello Anish! Ive tried with you I really have yet I dont see a single one of my songs on your list! pity pity! not even KT?! i recently have fallen for this south boston band called Dropkick Murphys, just two of their songs though because I think the concept is genius! Hard rock riffs over irish accordions or bagpipes! Brilliant! Shipping upto Boston is the first, and the second is Spicy Mchaggis!

b)Try a little Tenderness (the live version is the best) - Michael Buble, this is a song to cry for. When your in the mood.

Rocky
a)Anna-Molly by Incubus - sounds very chili pepper / incubus style.
b)The Better Life - 3 doors down ...real rocky with the F*** off attitude.

love the music uve tokd bout, ok my favourites at the moment:
1) Babylon- David Gray (thanks to a boston legal episode i will always associate this song with office sex)
2) Comptine d'un autre ete- from the Amelie (french movie) soundtrack, its this piano piece basically, more popularly heard on the ONEtv adverts, the one where everyone is crying :( great song tho
3) Your ex-lover is dead- Stars (its always fun to bitch bout the ex)
4) Danke Shoen- Wayne Newton, the sexiest voice EVER<<- Ferris Bueler fans will recognize this song as the "float parade song", as if it needed matthew broderick to make this song sexy!

c'est tout for now, good luck for them exams MWAx

YAY! Megalomaniac!!!

Anyway, let me join the list of reccomendations :

There's this really cool band I learnt about recently, theyre called "The Prize Fighter Inferno", and there are a couple of good songs which you should download, "Who Watches the Watchmen", the better of the two, the second one being "Your Love".
These songs are slow, acoustic-type songs, to listen to when you're alone, of just feeling lonely.

For My Chemical Romance-type music, get "All The Rage" by "Funeral for a Friend", and My Chemical Romance's "Thank You For The Venom".

Then there is the Smashing Pumpkins' hit "Bullet With Butterfly Wings", one of my personal favorites.

For classics, try "House of The Rising Sun" by "The Animals". One of my favorite old songs, with a brilliant keyboard solo.

If you like Matchbox Twenty, try "Unwell" which came out in the middle of 2002. It's a brilliant song.

Guitar Virtuoso? Try Lifeforce by Vinnie Moore. Awesome song. Love it.

Then, for more acoustic songs, try "Waiting on the World to Change", "Daughters", and "Your Body is a Wonderland" by John Mayer. Also try "For You I Will" by Teddy Geiger.

"Return to Innocence" by Enigma, "Earth Song" by Micheal Jackson, and "Only Time" by Enya for brilliant voices.

For new stuff, try "Lips of An Angel" by Hinder.

Thank you Anish for recommending Hurricane 2000.

I gotta go, I'm busy falling in love with it.

Take Care.

Nishant.

2. Seeing as you like The Fray, I'm flabbergasted that they aint on ur thingY!!

3. Collide by Howie Day is such a phreakin awesome song. If you haven't heard it, promise me you'll get it!

4. Ooh La by the Kooks! The Kooks own!

5. I don't know I'm the only one who likes this song. It's catchy, so different!!! but it's just slightly gay :P .. Lover I don't Have to Love - Bettie Serveert.

8. Boston by Augustana! Rubin told me to download this song before the summer, but it's such an epic song and I'm still hooked!

9. THE ALL AMERICAN REJECTS! They are not POP!! They are not PREDICTABLE!! They RULE!!

10. Last but not least, Blue October. You've heard Hate Me, so get 'Into the Ocean' ..

2) Anything by Bryan Adams, Micheal Buble and Bon Jovi.
3) Richie Sambora too .. 'One light burning' 'fallen from graceland' 'rosie' 'ballad of youth'
4) Hindi - 'Tere Bin' (THE BEST HINDI SONG RIGHT NOW). 'Iqbal' songs are pretty cool too.
