OoOoOoO. This looks like fun. If I wanted to do one, would I wait for dolce to finish?

Ya, makeshift. In the Mod forum, there's a listing of the order, so you'd have to talk to lovemerox first (who's suppossed to go next) if you wanna butt in front of him.

Just don't make the list 100% emo. :razz: It's enough you got me buying the My Chemical Romance CD, but I can't stand most of it

Pytor Tchaikovsky - Eugen Onegin - Mirella Freni.1990 - Act1/Scene 3/Aria

The Shirelles - Will You Love Me Tomorrow
Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure?
Can I believe the magic of your sighs?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Spencer Davis Group - Give Me Some Lovin'
Let me in baby,
I don't know what you got,
But you'd better take it easy,
Cause this place is hot...and I'm...

So glad we made it,
So glad we made it,
You got to gimme some lovin'

Michael Jackson - Billie Jean
She told me her name was billie jean, as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round

Ella Fitgerald - Stairway to the Stars
Let's build a stairway to the stars
And climb that stairway to the stars
With Love beside us
To fill the night with a song
We'll hear the sound of violins
Out yonder where the blue begins
The moon will guide us
As we go drifting along.

Nina Simone - Backlash Blues
All you got to offer
Is your mean old white backlash
But the world is big
Big and bright and round
And it’s full of folks like me
Who are black, yellow, beige and brown
Mr. backlash, I’m gonna leave you
With the backlash blues

Stray Cats - Stray Cat Strut

Stray cat strut, I'm a ladies' cat
I'm a feline Casanova, hey, man, that's that
Get a shoe thrown at me from a mean old man
Get my dinner from a garbage can

Tom Waits - Innocent When You Dream
It’s such a sad old feeling
The fields are soft and green
It’s memories that I’m stealing
But you’re innocent when you dream
When you dream
You’re innocent when you dream

Eric Clapton - Nobody Loves You When You're Down and Out
Then I began to fall so low,
Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go.
I get my hands on a dollar again,
I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins.

'Cause no, no, nobody knows you
When you're down and out.

Pat Benetar - We Belong
We belong to the light
We belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words
We've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace
For worse or for better
We belong, we belong
We belong together

BILLIE JEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now that's an awesome song!

It is. And I suggest you check out my next ten, cause I have a sneaking suspicion there's going to be a song on it you like as well.

People give Jackson alot of flack because he's comepletely messed up now, but his music in the 80's was excellent, and I'd say he, Prince, and Madonna pretty much built the industry then.

Never liked Madonna. She just annoyed me in every decade she's been around.

It's okay. I can wait. I didin't realize there was an order.

As for my list, it won't be 100% emo, but that will probably make up the majority of it, since that's what I mostly listen to. I'm a firm believer that a person should mainly listen to music from their generation. Music is, in my opinion, probably the most personal art form out there, and I have a hard time understanding people my age that listen to stuff like The Doors and are blown away. I don't see anything too relate to there. The furthest back my list will go will be the 80's.

The Doors rock.

Its one thing if you don't liek odler msuic, but to say you think everyone should listen to the msucic of their age is short sighted.

Secondly tThe Doors sign about the same thing bands today sing about.

Well relating to music is very personal. Something can speak to an individual because it is out of time. You watch old movies and still get stuff out of them as well too. For me, part of my early college experience was very isolating, so I don't think I would have wanted to listen to "college" band music. I helped build my own identity then and part of it was the emotional projection of Opera. I loved just listening to the power of their voices without understanding a lick of what they were saying (thank god, because if I had understood it, I'm sure I wouldn't have liked it). Leonard Cohen, my parents had playing on old records since I was a kid. I'm addicted to him and he's the first musician I remember from my youth. So even though he's not from my generation per se, he still speaks to my life personally.

Girl groups is different. They definately don't resonate well today at all. And I think that's what you're saying. Pop isn't meant to be timeless. But I guess I just got into the voices, and while alot of the lyrics are conservative, the fact that it was finally about minorities being put onto record labels wasn't. I dunno why I like them so much, because you are right "My Boyfriend's Back" would really not get made today. If it did, it would be by some Christian rock group because its contents is really about fidelity of 15 year olds and virginity etc. Thank goodness the Ronettes and Shangri-Laas were a teeny bit dirtier.

Once again, dolce expressed myself better than I could.

It's not that I don't think people should ever listen to music outside of their generation, I just don't think old music resonates now a-days, and I don't understand people that are head over heels in love with bands thirty or fourty or fifty years older than them. I like Roy Orbison a lot, but I don't listen to him much because as much I love the lyrics and his voice, the music is so dated it's hard to get into.

Billie Jean, Nobody Knows You WHen You're Down and Out, Stairway to the Stars

Most Rock n Roll songs that you listen whether from 1950 or 2004 are overwhelmingly about women, and led Zeppelin (since they have talent) speaks to me alot more then Nickelcrap.

Just as anything Nina Simone sings has more emotion then Mariah Carey, Britney Spears, Ashlee Simpson, Kelly Clarkson, or Faith Hill can muster.

People sing abotu the same things, relationships, being lots, being hearthbroken, not liking the way the world looks...

While I respect that you thin it doesn;t resonate, I feel the opposite, music is timeless.

Ok, I counted and I think I'm up to 80. This is really tough actually. so here's ten, and then ten more, and then per favore someone else go. My brain is pretty close to exploding. I had an easier time with movies for some reason.

Jimi Hendrix - Wind Cries Mary
After all the jacks are in their boxes and the clowns have all
gone to bed
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street
Footprints dressed in red and the wind whispers mary

Boys II Men - In The Still of the Night
I held you, held you tight
'Cause I love, love you so
Promise I'll never let you go
In the still of the night

George Michael - Too Funky
I watch you drinkin’ and I take my time,
I watch you drinkin’ all that cheap red wine, oh!
I’ve got to see you naked baby,
I’d like to think that sometime maybe,
Tonight my goal’s in sight, yeah!

ABBA - The Name of the Game
What’s the name of the game?
Does it mean anything to you?
What’s the name of the game?
Can you feel it the way I do?
Tell me please, ’cause I have to know
I’m a bashful child, beginning to grow

Sneaker Pimps - 6 Underground
don't think 'cos i understand i care
don't think 'cos i'm talking we're friends

talk me down, safe and sound, too
strung up to sleep
wear me out
scream and shout
swear my time's never cheap

Otis Redding - Try a Little Tenderness (Live in Europe. 1967)
One more time
You`ve got to love her
hold her Don't tease her
Never leave her
Make love to her
Hold her, man

Try a little tenderness
[Just one time] God have mercy now

Buddy Holly - Well...Alright
Well alright so I'm being foolish
Well alright let people know
About the dreams and wishes you wish
And the night when lights are low

Well alright, well alright
We will live and love with all our might
Well alright, well alright
Our lifetime's love will be alright

Anything Box - Living in Oblivion
Am I so blind?
With my eyes turned to a different time or hour.
At the end of the day,
When we both run down and our hopes are heavy...

Tell me what you will,
’cause I’ve got to know the truth inside of you.
Can you hear what I say,
When I hold you and you scorn the day?

I am so afraid of living in oblivion

Stan Getz and Astrud Gilberto - The Girl from Ipanema
(Ooh) But I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her I love her
Yes I would give my heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at me

U2 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For (Rattle and Hum Version)
I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you

But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for

You have Tee Aye Ess Tee Eee!!! \:D/

I love Hendrix



Good choice, I like this and the orginal



My favorite George Micheal is Freedom 90




I love this song, *turns it on*



I love Otis Redding




Good Chioce, you cannot go wrong with U2

But the doors sung about it first.

Their was music before the Doors, so they were not first but there were before random crappy rock band today, like Nickelcrap.

The doors were one of the first to really become popular in their style of music. The Doors is not like any random crappy rock band.

But I am discussing the content of songs, that transcends a particualr genre of music. While The Doors may have sung about these things ina differnt way, they weren't the first. And like any band, they have roots in the music that came before them, whatmakes them great is rather then jsut be medicore they brought something new to music.

So then what you're saying is that Britney Spears can write a song (:lol: ) that sounds somewhat like what Jim Morrison wrote so it has to be respected on the same level? You're confusing me a little bit here.

No, I am saying that Wings' orginal point was how can you relate to older songs, they are dated. I said people sing about the same thing today as they did in the past. He mentioned The Doors, and while one can say they don't like the music The Doors play or even the lyrics, the sing about the same shit rock bands sing about today...the content of the lyrics is esential the same.

"Love Her Madly"

Its about women, just like most of the rock songs out there. Heck, most music is about relationships. The Doors were not the first nor the last people to sing about this shit. So I don't see why its hard to conceive that I can relate to led Zeppelin better then <insert random band from today>.

In fact I prefer older music because I find that they were better at writing lyrics.

El Schorcho by Weezer, Love Her Madly by The Doors, and Fuck It by Eamon are all about relationships, while you may ntolike all the songs, the content of their lyrics si similar and I can see why a perosn coudl relate to any or all of them...we all are in relationships with people, and get hurt, fall in love, etc.

I think this is my last ten! Without further ado:

Portishead - Sour Times
To pretend no one can find
The fallacies of morning rose
Forbidden fruit, hidden eyes
Curtises that I despise in me
Take a ride, take a shot now

Cos nobody loves me
Its true
Not like you do

Cake - Never There
I need your arms around me, I need to feel your touch
I need your understanding, I need your love so much
You tell me that you love me so, you tell me that you care
But when I need you baby, you’re never there

Elvis Presley - Burning Love (Aloha from Hawaii. 1973)
Lord almighty,
I feel my temperature rising
Higher higher
It’s burning through to my soul

Girl, girl, girl
You gonna set me on fire
My brain is flaming
I don’t know which way to go

Nina Simone - I Want a Little Sugar In My Bowl
I want a little steam
on my clothes
Maybe I could fix things up
so they'll go
Whatsa matter Daddy
Come on, save my soul
Drop a little sugar in my bowl
I ain't foolin'
Drop a little sugar in my bowl

Georges Bizet - Carmen - Leontyne Price.1998 - L'amour est un oiseau rebelle
L'amour est un oiseau rebelle
Que nul ne peut apprivoiser
Et c'est bien en vain qu'on l'appelle
C'est lui qu'on vient de nous refuser
((Love is a rebel bird
That no one can tame
And it's in vain that we call him
It's him that just refused us)

Leonard Cohen - Suzanne (Songs Of. 1968)
Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that she's half crazy
But that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover

The Rolling Stones - Country Honk
I'm sittin' in a bar tippling a jar in Jackson
And on the street the summer sun it shines
There's many a bar-room queen
I've had in Jackson
But I just can't seem to drink you off my mind

It's the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues

No Doubt - Just a Girl
Take this pink ribbon off my eyes
I’m exposed
And it’s no big surprise
Don’t you think I know
Exactly where I stand
This world is forcing me
To hold your hand

’cause I’m just a girl, oh little ol’ me
Well don’t let me out of your sight

Radiohead - Karma Police
Karma police, I’ve given all I can, it’s not enough
I’ve given all I can, but we’re still on the payroll
This is what you get, this is what you get
This is what you get, when you mess with us
And for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself

Jane's Addiction - Jane Says
Jane says
She's never been in love
No, she don't know what it is
Only knows if someone wants her
I want them if they want me
I only know they want me

OMFG! I forgot "Never There". It's about the only Cake song I can stand (there's a good one from the Orange County movie soundtrack; I forget what it's called). I'd rather listen to Leonard Cohen's monotonous voice than dead-pan.

Good list. I knew more than I thought I would, anyways.
