Pink Floyd "Goodbye Blue Skies"
Brought me into music as something that is a part of me, instead of just a thing to listen to. David Gilmour is my god, really.

King's X "It's Love"
Melody, harmony, song structure that supports the song, not the musicians, and a musical solo instead of a muscular one. You cannot top this song.

Eric Gales "Misty"
Stevie Ray Vaughan's heir apparent. Soul, rock and blues all in one. Prince without the pomp, Jimi without the being dead thing, this song has everything that Eric Gales can bring to music in one track.

Metallica "Dyers Eve"
The last great Metallica song. Touches me much more personally than I'd like, and the tempo/speed/lyrics are top notch. James' vocals shred on this, before he discovered "singing". Best song to play at full volume in your car.

Scarve "Fireproven"
French cybermetal that acknowledges the strides made by SYL, and actually builds upon that instead of milking off the sweet teat of SYL/FF/Meshuggah. Great vocal dynamics between the clean/harsh, and just a great pummeling track.

Beyond the Pale - Pain of Salvation

Iter Impius - Pain of Salvation

Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd

Strangers When We Meet - David Bowie

Ordinary World - Duran Duran



Yes, I'm an odd mix.

Look back, Blue, I think you'll find the lot of us rather odd.

this is impossible!

ill just list 5 of my favorites, in order of remembering...

Mr. Bungle - My Ass is on Fire
psychotic clown music, that's what it always sounded like to me. one of my favorite songs to fume to.

Faith No More - Ricochet
it's so catchy. his voice gets me in this one. the song reminds me of a best friend o' mine who i haven't seen in some time...

Coil - Ostia (The Death of Pasolini)
gorgeous strings. i love the lyrical structure and the picture the music paints. jhonn balance also has the perfect voice for this song. my favorite dark ambient tune.

Metallica - Master of Puppets (S&M version)
this is where i realized i was in love with music and wanted to marry it. also the song that made me decide to pick up a guitar and learn to play it.

Deftones - Digital Bath
it's so profoundly beautiful. i wish the deftones were able to write music at this level more often.

i feel like i did dream theater, pearl jam, peter gabriel, king crimson, tori amos, etc etc a disservice with that post..

Yeah, Im on a pretty similar page with you on this one

Off the top of me head in no order:

Nightingale - Nightfall overture
Uriah Heep - The spell
Udo - Heart of gold
Bolt thrower - For victory
Depeche mode - Enjoy the silence

Scarve "Fireproven"
French cybermetal that acknowledges the strides made by SYL, and actually builds upon that instead of milking off the sweet teat of SYL/FF/Meshuggah. Great vocal dynamics between the clean/harsh, and just a great pummeling track.

Can we expand limit to, let's say, 100 favourite songs? I'd stick a few Scarve's songs in it. Actually, most of songs off two albums I own, they rock. Dirk Verbeuren is drumming genius, guitars are brilliantly layered and everything just oozes with creativity. Too bad their singer escaped to Mnemic. Mnemic is average.

And next to them I'd put "Denying gravity" by Textures. And "Touching absolute" by Textures. Meh, again, 5 is too few. And "of all time" is too much, I expect to rearrange my toplist due to next Textures album.

Too bad their singer escaped to Mnemic. Mnemic is average.

Scarve had 2 singers, 1 for the harsh vocals (death and black style) who was the main singer and 1 for the "clear" vocals (screamo/linkin park style )
the 2nd one left the band to join Mnemic where he fits better, I don't think it's a big loss for Scarve

now for my 5 favorite METAL songs (like it's possible to make such a list) :

- Pantera : The Great Southern Trendkill (the brutality, the groove, Dimebag's guitar, Vinnie's drumming, Anselmo's voice, ...)
- Brutal Truth : Fisting (most brutal song ever)
- Machine Head : Davidian (Robb Flynn's riffs and aggressive voice, Kontos' drumming)
- Emperor : The Loss And Curse Of Reverence (first black metal song heard in my life)
- Strapping Young Lad : Far Beyond Metal (can't be more metal than that)


and for my 5 favorite "all kind" songs :

- Mr Bungle : Travolta (Quote Unquote) (first Bungle/Patton song heard, completely changed my life)
- Mr Bungle : Carousel (favorite ska/happy song)
- Mr Bungle : Carry Stress In The Jaw (jazz, death, noises, organ, Simpsons, all in the mix)
- Mr Bungle : Violenza Domestica (for the "avant garde yet accessible" style)
- Mr Bungle : Ars Moriendi (made me love balkan and klezmer music)

Too bad their singer escaped to Mnemic. Mnemic is average.

Scarve had 2 singers, 1 for the harsh vocals (death and black style) who was the main singer and 1 for the "clear" vocals (screamo/linkin park style )
the 2nd one left the band to join Mnemic where he fits better, I don't think it's a big loss for Scarve

I know, that's why I wrote "singer" instead of "screamer" He contributed much to melodic-spacey part of music, I hope they'll find someone good on his place (Lawrence Mackrory's vocal chords are only guest starring on last album).

Frontline Assembly - Search and Destroy
Nevermore - 47147
Type O Negative - Cinnamon Girl
Grave Digger - Valhalla
Sodom - The Saw Is The Law
