Don't Follow - Alice in Chains

No, I don't listen to them a lot... but I once illegally copied this cd from the library and this is one of the songs I like...

 

That's hawt.

Nobody Loves Me and Neither Do I - Them Crooked Vultures

 

By curious coincidence, the same as what I'm listening to.

 

It isn't coincidence, Them Crooked Vultures is taking over the world. And I'm allowing them to.

 

I am listening to the Protomen...the rock opera based on the Megaman games. Does it get geekier?

 

Indeed. I am in love with them.
(No surprise there- I love Queens of the Stone Age and Led Zeppelin)

No, not really.

Bandoliers - Them Crooked Vultures

 

'Mina, one of my favourite bands (Blind Guardian) bases most of their songs off the Lord of the Rings trilogy. But I've never heard of those games, so maybe yours is geekier.

I'm currently listening to...
"Sorry, Sorry" by Super Junior
...It sounds a lot cooler than it does when you know the English translation. Sort of like Rammstein.

 

I think Rammstein's lyrics- even when translated into English are awesome. Till is a hell of a lyricist. Oh, except for the single off their new album. That sucks hard, but the rest of the songs are good.

Waidmanns Heil - Rammstein

 

"Feuer Frei" was my first Rammstein song. I loved it --and I still do, but I had to laugh when I found a proper translation.

Now I'm listening to
"Aqui Estoy Yo" by Luis Fonsi. There are some other latino singers as well; I definitely know Aleks Syntec is in there, but I cant remember the others.
Now this song has a good English translation.

I need good Spanish hip-hop. Suggestions?

 

^ Merc, alot of Rammstein songs use metaphor and symbolism, so their lyrics make next to no sense in the translation half the time lol.

They sound so epic in German, but if they sang all their songs in English....Well, I don't think the impact of the metaphor would be quite as good, haha.

 

Hmm, I've been a fan of Rammstein for quite some time, but after I translated a few of their songs, I settled for just loving their sound. So I never ended up picking up on any symbolism or metaphor. Thanks for explaining though --makes a lot more sense why their lyrics seem so strange to me now.

"One Way Or Another" by Kate Voegele

 

Between the Buried and Me, Colors. Stunning. One of the best metal albums ever made, at least the best since Opeth's My Arms Your Hearse. In just over an hour it covers a huge range, encompassing almost everything that makes metal such a rich and diverse genre of music- it's brutal, powerful, aggressive, sensitive, technical- and more than once, it is beautiful. The last time I was so blown away was the first time I listened to Love by Ayreon, only carried out across the entire album.

 

Ashes & Wine ~ Alison Sudol

 

Lloyd, I'm ready To be Heartbroken ~ Camera Obscura

New favorite song of the moment.

 

Perfect Circle - R.E.M.

 

Strength - Zebrahead

 

Between the Buried and Me, Colors. On endless repeat, broken up every once in a while for either The Great Misdirect, or Alaska.

 

Colors of the Wind ~ Judy Kuhn

 

Jerremy - Pearl Jam

 

"Point of Know Return" by Kansas. Actually, the entire POKR album has been on repeat for a while...

 

LA Woman, by the Doors.

 

Wishing You Were Somehow Here from the Phantom of the Opera

 

No One's Gonna Love You, by Band of Horses.

Epic. Song. By. Horses.

 

Condor and River - Her Name is Calla.

Phenomenal song.

 

Emilie Autumn - What If
