Game: Rate What The Person Above You Is Listening To

[JHuschke]

Alright this is a simple little game I saw on another forum and thought I'd bring it over here, basically you just rate the track the person above you is listening to on a 1-10 scale and explain your reasoning if you like then post your own song.

The rules:
You must post artist name and track name.
You must provide a URL to listen to the track (YouTube, MySpace, etc).
You cannot rate your own tracks.
And of course no extremely negative comments if you dont like a persons song.


I'll start>
Rammstein-Ich Will

I'll start>
Rammstein-Ich Will
http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=R37H38bMVec

Sounds like fun. I'll bite.

Ramstein-Ich Will: 7/10

Reason: 5 points for music, 4 points for being in German to make it sound more awesome, -2 points for not being country music. :D

Next up, John Denver with "Thank God I'm a Country Boy"

John Denver is really cool 7/10

May I offer my favourite song by him:

http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=CpYcpi0HjQw

[1480]

J Denver "Leaving on a Jet Plane", never liked P,P & M's version but was pretty impressed with this one JB, 7/10.

Since it's college and high school football day, and the cubs could clinch the National League Central today, (one huge cluster f^ck at work today should that happen) I will leave the song we use to go out on the field when I played for LTHS:

O' Fortuna C. Orff, great montage video of Exclaibur.

http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=Uucj5xLRHQc

I'm going to say 8/10 because I LOVE medieval stuff and I love The Ring Cycle ! :up:

Here's mine:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFgUV44TTpY

[TarJak]

I'd rate it 3/10. Why? It's fairly bland in terms of gothicness and nowhere near dark and gloomy enough to be really interesting, but it's still better than watching paint dry.

I can't stand this song but it's topical and I'd like to see someone rate it anyway:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIUPCfIihQ4

[Takeda Shingen]

I'm going to say 8/10 because I LOVE medieval stuff and I love The Ring Cycle ! :up:

Only the libretto of Carmina Burana dates from feudal-age Europe, and is modified to suit Carl Orff's purposes. The music was completed in 1936.

Der Ring des Nibelungen is not medieval, although the libretto was based on Richard Wagner's interpretation of various Nordic Sagas, was also heavily altered to suit his political and philosophical tastes, many of which shifted drastically after he broke from the work in 1867, just after completing Act II of Siegfried. One may note a distinct change in compositional technique and philosophical direction beginning in Act III and running through the whole of Götterdämmerung, as it was not until 1869 that he had resumed work, and by that time, both Tristan and Meistersinger had been completed, and Wagner had become a thorough Schopenhaurian.

@Stabiz: 6/10 because it's not bad, but it just isn't my type of music.

Justice - Let there be light (although I post it for the music, that's not a bad video, even if not an official one)

[GlobalExplorer]

Justice: This is almost my type of music, so I will rate it.
Takes off a bit slow, when the beat takes off it has some good passages, a bit too much on the experimental side, cheesy ending

I don't like tracks without vocals so I'd have settle with 6/10.

Diplo Rhythm

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25snaNyvX78

P.S. This game sounds like fun!

8/10, I like it, I guess Fettes Brot heard this before they made "Erdbeben"? Some of the beats are really similar.

OOOPS I probably should post some music too...

6/10, but an ok out-on-the-town track, I guess. Sinclair has better songs under his belt.

This is (IMO) the best remix ever done: Sia "Breathe me" (Four Tet remix)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_ykQJitito

Good song. I like her voice. Reminded me a bit of Louise Rhodes / Lamb.

7/10 will probably get better when I listen to it a few times.

Santogold - You'll Find A Way

Santi White could be the new Nicolette. It gets a bit loud so please don't rate when you don't like dub / jungle.

[Biggles]

6/10.

Although I'm not into this kind of music (ever so slightly), I can see some potential here. She isn't bad. Not at all. But I'm having a hard time to see the difference between her and any other artists of this genre.

The Rolling Stones

Yeah, we've all heard them, but maybe not like this. This is a rather unfamous (arguably infamous) song called Hey Negrita. A bit crappy quality, but that's what I found.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3QFOXPReec

[GlobalExplorer]

Hiho Biggles, I better don't rate any rock songs either .. ;) .. someone else please.

No - not important. I just thought I would not rate tracks if I'm not interested in that type of music. Now someone else make a review for Biggles Rock song please.

[I-25]

Hey negrita. wow i tought i was the only person who knew that song, lol

[stabiz]

7/10, but The Rolling Stones are one of the all time greatest bands, and they did make THE best song ever:

Paint it black
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-K53vuSE7F4

PS: GlobalExplorer, that song is great. As for Nicolette, I remember the great song that was one of the Rebirth of Cool cds. Ah, the golden age of mid 90`s. Massive Attack, Tricky, Leftfield, Chemical Brothers, Orbital, Portishead, and really good drum n bass from labels like Hospital Records.

Edit: Sorry, I-25, we posted at the same time I guess.

[GlobalExplorer]

As for Nicolette, I remember the great song that was one of the Rebirth of Cool cds.

Could that be "no government"? What actually became of her? At the time she was sometimes called the black Bjork which was kind of stupid.

Ventilator Blues, The Rolling Stones

I could only find this video with it, and it has a second song too, from the same album (Exile on Main St.). The song I choosed is the first one, but you may listen to them both if you want;)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWKq6AO17Zw

[GlobalExplorer]

This thread is a clash of styles anyway, so I will try to review this track though it's definitely not my style.

I can understand why people got so attached to the Rolling Stones if they grew up with them. It does not give me such a kick to listen to them like you do, but I still discern that they could express a desire for freedom in a more uncompromising way than any other band from their time, and that they were thus revolutionizing music.

Having said that, it's always a big difference if you hear something for the first time, and it must have been great to have lived during that time and listened to the Rolling Stones, or later, the Sex Pistols.

But I grew up during the 80s and the tracks that were revolutionary during the 60s and seventies had become a sort a background noise by that time, some times I even felt they were annoying me.

Now my most unqualified rating for this track. Hm it's different. I don't think it is one of the best songs of the Rolling Stones, in fact I a m finding it boring, it's not radical like some of their other songs amd more like a blues song. After long consideration I give it a 6/10. I don't like the Stones, in particular I don't like Blues, but they still made some great music.

Ok here's my song. Some might know it already. But I couldn't stop listened to this sound some months ago.

Maybe I never liked older stuff because it was all over the radio when I was a kid, and I was alread fed up with it when I began to develop a real interest for music.

Having said that, it's always a big difference if you hear something for the first time, and it must have been great to have lived during that time and listened to the Rolling Stones, or later, the Sex Pistols.

But I grew up during the 80s and the tracks that were revolutionary during the 60s and seventies had become a sort a background noise by that time, some times I even felt they were annoying me.

Now my most unqualified rating for this track. Hm it's different. I don't think it is one of the best songs of the Rolling Stones, in fact I a m finding it boring, it's not radical like some of their other songs amd more like a blues song. After long consideration I give it a 6/10. I don't like the Stones, in particular I don't like Blues, but they still made some great music.

Ok here's my song. Some might know it already. But I couldn't stop listened to this sound some months ago.

Crystal Castles Courtship Dating

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUM5aQUW2og

Since no one gave a comment... That track specifically 5/10, But overall album 9/10, Crystal castles rock! (Canada has been pumping up some vicious bands over the last 5 years or so...)

As for Cath Coffey & Terranova , I'll rate it for a 5ver in ten (again, 5 is good on my list, anything I don't like or consider bad gets a 0 rating, 1 is like a C-:|\\ )

And now for something completely different...

Germany
Early seventies, Klaus Dinger (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klaus_Dinger) and Michael Rother (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Rother) quit Kraftwerk and started Krautrock supreme motorik (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorik) band "NEU!" -Hallogallo from their 1972 debut self titled album

http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbAWBElA6dA

[GlobalExplorer]

I find the track overall boring but nice reminescences, Ganja, crimi series from the seventies, 7/10. The right music to put on when you smoke some spliffs.

Really nothing new but my favorite one from Fettes Brot: Schwule Mädchen

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kawitbXsJIs

Yeah, Hamburg. I am almost certain we were once in that club. My friend almost got smacked up by some Russian.

P.S. Cath Coffey & Terranova 5/10 maybe a bit too clean cut but I am surprised it wouldn't get a lot better rating.

[1480]

GE 6/10, though industrial music is not my cup of tea. Did like the beats however. Just because you do not like a particular genre of music it does not disqualify someone from being objective about it. ;) Just give it an honest listen and go with the emotions it produces inside of you other then dislike or hatred.


I will post an industrial song that I like: Jesus built my Hotrod.

Warning: the video is kind of eclectic, may not be suitable for anyone here. I chose it because it is the unedited version of the song. This may have been the inspiration for the blue man group...:rotfl:

Ok something had to be the first... retreaded Lacuna Coil with overproduced voice and less vocal ability... It's not that I don't see the appeal to some people it's a catchy mellow pseudo rock song... but not at all to my taste, a BIG 0/10 sorry Kranz, nothing personal.

No one Rated Ministry so I'll do it, 6/!10, that' a very good on my scale!

now for something a little noisy, don't be scared of the low-fi- Type production, it's on purpose, this ain't really a easy to listen band but they are very good if you get in to it: A Place To Bury Strangers - Runaround
http://www.myspace.com/aplacetoburystrangers

3/10 perhaps another point if I was 30 years younger.

My favourite foreign band during my teenage years.

Wow that's some crazy weird ass music, well not so much the music but the singing...

10/10 for the music 0/10 points for the singing/yodeling (although he does a pretty good job at that, it just doesn't fit), so 5/10 from me.

One of my favourites:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpys1c3jCNs

@SS107.9Mhz: A Place To Bury Strangers too much underrated by jimbuna I think it deserves a 8/10. I think I'll have them running in the background for a while.

I'll rate it a 5/10, It's half away there! Since we're at it, let's keep on the Blues, but with a little more spunk: R.L. Burnside, Let my baby ride (this one's a re-recording of an earlier track for one of his last albums on Fat Possum Records, he kicked his last das boot about 2 years ago...)

http://audiotube.com/file/2100-r-l-burnside-let-my-baby-ride.html

The Kinks - Lola

Not my favorite, but the Kinks are right up there. 8/10.

My likes can be weird sometimes. The Yardbirds had three different lead guitarists, all destined to become legends: Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page. Beck is probably the least well-known, but I like his group over Led Zeppelin.

He played on the Yardbirds hit 'Shapes of Things'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdM0sJ-uc70

But it's the remake, featuring Ron Wood on bass and an unknown Scottish singer, that got me going. Oh, and it's probably the last time I did like that 'unknown' singer.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CirDwohWt2s

[TheBrauerHour]

I give that a 7/10.

I like to see the artists in their "before" state. Good post.

Well, it doesn't make Nazis look nearly as funny as Charlie and His Orchestra do, but "Skinhead, Skinhead, getting really pissed!" is still good times! The production, seems like the norm in this type of music, is pretty darn poor and it's hard to really hear what's going on - suppose youtube doesn't help. But I was amused, so 5.5/10?

Lou is mainly a poet here. He does an interesting job with the lyrics. I think the music mix could've done better at understating the obvious pitch faults in his singing. He has a nice speaking voice, and the music gives a good texture, but he should either stop trying to articulate his pitch so much and just speak rather than sing, or the music should be mixed upward a little.

Still, once you get used to it, he's got a great talent for lyrics :up:

5/10 presentation, 9/10 for the actual composition (both music and lyrics, not counting the vocals) = 7/10 overall.

That is okay...I would rate them 6/10


Jason Mraz-Make it Mine

[CCIP]

That is okay...I would rate them 6/10


Jason Mraz-Make it Mine
http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=pM0BjZojZIY

not very detailed review on your part :p

***

I like Jason. He's got a nice voice and really knows how to use it. A poppy song made in good taste, more or less how it should be done. Good jazzy music background, too, in this day an age of bad-taste electronic pop.

And I like the geese in that video :lol:

8/10

Now let's shred:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7iHBMPsLVM

Buckethead - Want Some Slaw?

[Task Force]

6/10
Veary good beat.

Aces High, Iron maiden.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUK6ScAeFKE&feature=related
(also a good vedio in with it)

[Captain Vlad]

Suicide Blonde
INXS

[Captain Vlad]

Oh yeah, the rating and the link.

Only so-so about it, though it's probably my favorite Iron Maiden song. Not too into them, but Aces High does have a nice, frantic energy to it. 5/10

Link to mine: Suicide Blonde (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gNhUrAE3Tg&feature=related)

Sorry about the guy talking. Was the best quality one I could find.

[kranz]

ok, so: I've always liked that song but was never aware of who sings it.
let's say 7/10

7/10 I like Golden Earring....I think this track from them is a little better.

[jpm1]

9/10 why 9 cause i'm not the kind of one who judges its fellow man but why 9 and not 10 cause for me radar love seems a bit strange , i mean there should be no doubt about the woman you love you love her or not

mine http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=3aZZRjrs-rs

[silentrunner]

5/10 it had a catchy beat, but I could never imagine myself listening to it

Mine is on of my favorite MCR songs ever
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qeWDrwW-20

6/10

Good beats, but not really my style.


I love metal & rock, but I also looove country man.

7/10 I like this artist.

[lesrae]

8/10 for the killers - good stuff

Currently listening to some old Faith No More stuff and jumping around a bit, favourite is their excellent cover of Sabbath's 'War Pigs' which I personally rate as better than the original, the kick-in around 2:15 in never fails to give me chills.

I agree. I just bought the original Black Sabbath CD. kinda weird w/o Ozzy, but still rocks.

I love listening to this song while i'm walking the dog at night.

9/10 Pink Floyd had a style and sound all their own. I still wonder what direction the band would have taken if Syd Barrett didn't go down his unfortunate path.



Speaking of music legends. How about this guy performing to packed stadium, at 60 years old, singing a 35 year old song, and still rocking and energizing the crowd. His style was as unique as Pink Floyd's.


David Bowie - Hang on to Yourself (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycYRqGr5ejU)

[breadcatcher101]

David Bowie has been around a long time--for good reason. His hits are many, Fame, Ground Control to Major Tom, countless others as well. I'd rate this a strong 7 1/2 at least.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hg7jzi9JAkw&feature=related

I hope a few of you are as old as I am and recall this hit, one of my all time best.

[MothBalls]

Yes I'm one of the people old enough to remember the Animals. This classic still lives on. 8/10.


Remember the old roadside diners where there was the little jukebox controller at every table? Just a nickel in and the song would play. Here's another one from the same era, I remember listening to it at the same time I listened to The Animals.


Royal Guardsmen - Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oxzg_iM-T4E)

[Jimbuna]

Oh yes, I reckon many of us (or those who are honest enough to admit it LOL) remember those bygone days :oops:

6/10...not bad during its era.

Here is something just a little younger :lol:

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=did2PTV3UTE

[TarJak]

2/10 Sorry Jim, a tad old school for my liking.

This from a new Perth band with a Hendrix/LedZeppelin feel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koCcgvLcoM4

[mcf1]

I would say 6/10 for that, it's got a nice melody and it's kinda stuck in my mind and that video is somehow like an LSD trip.

This one is currently one of my favorites
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xbjAk2ZtzM&feature=related

[Biggles]

7/10. Not bad. Actually, I'm positively surprised.

The Clash, Guns of Brixton.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiQoq-wqZxg

[breadcatcher101]

I've never heard of them, but not a bad song. 7/10.

The group "Rush" came out with a song called "Countdown" years back about the first space shuttle launch.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTP5wjFMJ9I

Hope ya'll like it.

[JHuschke]

6/10
The music is okay but sort of wierd..lol

How bout some Jake Owen- 8 Second Ride
http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=3YyWoCMcFEw

[Biggles]

8/10. That singer was quite good. I feared it'd be a metal band or something, but it was really a good performance.

The Beatles:

Everybody's got something to hide except me and my monkey.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1IoQJ_PVoM

I'm very much into White Album at the moment:doh:

[Rockstar]

Used to be a Beatles fan about 30 years ago sounds too campy now days.

I'll give a generous 6 out of 10 for it.

One of my favorites is Hard Sun by Indio Harvest albumn. Formed 1989 disbanded 1990, too bad :(

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb5KXozi_HM

[mcf1]

Never heard that song before, but I'll give it 7/10 because I like it

I like this one

[Biggles]

4/10. I don't fancy that kind of music....


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WuJ3EvNh-0

Helter Skelter, by The Beatles. Regarded as one of the first hard-rock tracks.

[TarJak]

9/10 One of my all time favourites! Good choice biggles.:up:

Something a little newer: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=MpeqfsfH2b4

[Janus]

9/10 One of my all time favourites! Good choice biggles.:up:

7/10 Good music for a party.

Does anyone know the name of the song in this video?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUfKnqv2C3k
I'm hearing it on repeat but I don't understand the lyrics so I can't really search for the song...

[Biggles]

No idea really....sorry man, I can't help you.

Well today I listen much to this one:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hb2YSAVHmIE&feature=related

28 years ago, on December 8th, 1980, John Lennon was shot dead outside the Dakota Building on Upper West Side, New York.

Kudos to John. He didn't deserve to die this way.

[She-Wolf]

um, 4/10 from me - just not into Lennon I guess.

Here is my pick - Leonard Cohen with Closing Time. Wonderful words ( videos quite good too). I just love the line 'she's a hundred, but she's wearing something tight'

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=vVt6vhRAu3k

[SandyCaesar]

7/10: nice one. Not exactly my style, but nice song all the same.

First entry for me: one of the most inspirational songs I have ever heard, singlehandedly made me into a Les Mis fan.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VR1bOha40U&feature=related

EDIT: Oops, just looked back to page one. Okay, this one is from Les Miserables, track Do You Hear the People Sing?

[Jimbuna]

Nice 7/10 never heard that till now.

On the musicals theme....one of the classics.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=uJ0OjAExpqI&feature=related

[HunterICX]

8/10, as a kid I used to listen to the Musical's CD quiet a lot

another classic:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JM-9LIAVCH8

HunterICX

[SandyCaesar]

8/10. Classic it might be, and the music is awesome. But, the spoken parts don't match up that well with the jaunty theme music.

Augh...so many songs to choose from.

Okay, another Les Mis selection, but a humorous one just to change the pace a little.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFPsEwV38Q0&feature=related

Master of the House.

Just as a bonus (not for a rating): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPpkTgMbhRU
That would be Do You Hear the People Sing?, especially adapted for an international audience...like the one here at Subsim.

[Rockstar]

Oh brother I couldn't rate that. Ok, 4/10 just not something I couldn't listen to or watch very long ;)


Anything David Byrne the guy is a genius! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVo-Rr-KKbk

[Biggles]

Man, that was great! 9/10! Never heard it before, but I truly liked that!

Sorry, just gotta give you another one with Bruce:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBSghMLK9Po

Rosalita (Come out Tonight)

[A Very Super Market]

Sorry, never cared for Springsteen. Still a nice song though 6/10

Here is one of my favorites for listening to on a patrol.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8OlDPqYBLw

Surfing Bird! :lol: (Naw, its Bobby Darin with "Beyond the Sea")

[Jimbuna]

5/10....a little dated but a nice song for those pld enough to remember it.

Try this when your next out on patrol:

I give it 7/10. Very melodic and Arash has a great voice if the style is not my favorite. Here's a real blast from the past for all you metalheads.

Quicksilver Messenger Service, Mona:

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=SjWGr-h8ETA

The shimmering guitar work is done by John Cippolina That movement of his sound across the channels he did live. Crank the volume on this one. It was recorded live at the Fillmore West on 11/7/68, a concert I attended. To listen to the entire concert in it's full stereo splendor, go here:

http://concerts.wolfgangsvault.com/dt/quicksilver-messenger-service-concert/604-5673.html

[Jimbuna]

6/10 never heard it before but kinda grows on you.

I will watch the concert.

I think it is seldom that a cover of a great song is better than the original.

here is IMHO a rare exception:
