Share some of your favorite songs, artists, ideas, creations, etc.

Here's mine...

I'm a huge fan of The Metal but I think I'll start with some of my legendary, less angry, favorites.

Probably my favorite band of all time across all genres is Primus. I've seen them live twice, and I've seen Les Claypool live in his solo act once.

It all started with "Jerry was a Race car driver"

For those who don't know Les, fun fact: he once audition for Metallica and they denied him based solely on the fact that he is far too damn good for them.

I've seen tons of bands live (Slayer, Megadeth, Sepultura, Napalm Death, Cannibal Corpse, Korn, System of a Down, Pantera, Slipknot, Lamb of God - to name a few). But Primus is the band that showed me first hand the largest mosh pit I've ever seen, and it was to this mighty cute song:

A few thousand people went ape shit at the 1:37 mark.

I hold in high regard just about everything Claypool releases; if I had to pick a favorite song it is simply, Here Come The Bastards

My kind of topic

I'm a sad nut and love love love tenacious D lol not sure if it fits into your way of thinking and music Zen but I think it's the bee's

And a huge fan of Gaelic (scottish) music.

And who doesn't love pendulum ?

Play it at full blast and I love their track "Turantula"

Zenbane · December 2016

I love T-D.

lol @ "bust a massive monster mamajam"

I won a Guitar Hero challenge with their song, The Metal

And of course, my favorite T-D jam of all time...

Zenbane · December 2016

@Techy111 hell yes to Pendulum, love that track.

@Syndroid +1 for Frontline Assembly. I listened to a lot of that during my software coding all-nighters. And Cybernetika is badass. The 8:53 mark is the kinda shit that causes me to make babies

Techy111 · December 2016

Hope you have a lady for that mate ? (Pictures in brain, Zen dropping a baby)

Been into electronic for a while. Started with drum & bass (where I used to DJ back in the day), got into trance, ambient, IDM and experimental, chillout, psy. Listening to a good mix of stuff these days. Here are a couple good ones.

I can keep going but I don't wish to hog the thread. Keep 'em coming.

AQfumes · December 2016

I jammed a lot of A_k and afx in the 90s, but I listen to it all.

Great thread...nothing like good tunes while waiting on your touch.

AQfumes · December 2016

@Zenbane: Primus, man.. that brings me back to my middle school days

along with Sepultura and Pantera - all great bands. @Techy111: That Gaelic song is good. I like music like that. @Cybereality: I grew up on a lot of dnb/jungle too. Tycho is a good artist along with boc. Have you listen to any Cilocub? He has similar tone to Tycho.

My favourite Primus song and video has to be Wynona's Big Brown Beaver. I would do almost anything for one of those cowboy outfits!
I love the intro to Fish On. Such a uniquely Primus sound.

My tastes vary wildly. When I listen to radios in Spotify or Pandora I typically go for 70's or 80's music. For some reason any Pandora channel I make will eventually settle on Sweet Home Alabama, which I'm sick of, but apparently it matches my taste? The groups that I've liked the longest would be Talking Heads and Peter Gabriel.

But my overall favourite groups based on how often I listen to them are Electric Six, Lemon Demon and Can't Stop Won't Stop.

Lately I've been drifting to electro-swing like Alice Francis and Caravan Palace.

But if I'm going to post one youtube clip here, I'll make it We Got That Booty by The Supermen Lovers.

cybereality · December 2016

@AQfumes no, haven't heard Cilocub before, but they sound good.

Here are some more glitched out tracks just for you:

cybereality · December 2016

What the hell. I made the thread an announcement (at least for a bit). Might be a nice break from all the shipping/processing stress.

AQfumes · December 2016

@Cybereality: Hey thanks, nice tracks man. I was just listening to Proem last night; that's a good album. Feel free to pm me any other electronic artists in the future. I use to dj/produce some, when I was younger too.

Keep'em coming guys. I've been AirPlaying these things to my stereo tonight.

Techy111 · December 2016

KLF !!!! Early 90's

Zenbane · December 2016

@AQfumes some of what you shared reminded me of the Avalanches. I love them...

Interestingly, this song is about a crazy kid named Dexter. But this was before the show/novel.

kojack · December 2016

Ok, considering all the raging going on about getting something on the 6th, I should post this video instead.
This is a song from many years ago by the Sydney group Chakradiva. Very old and very crap computer graphics, but if any one song could be my official theme song to sum up my attitude to life, I would want this to be it. (I'm not there yet, but it's something I aspire to).

"See no point in overtaking
In the race but we're not racing
Seen the finish, it's taking all night
I just like to ride
No need to move aside
What have I got against the other guy?
I just like to drive"

Plus their bouncy rabbit car is awesome! (But could be rather sickening in VR)

Another inspirational song that's always stuck with me and is also car themed: Whoever You Are by Geggy Tah.

I'll finish the car theme with the complete polar opposite of Chakradiva's Drive: the Yellow Line theme and race from the movie Redline. The whole soundtrack is great, but this one just has so much energy!

I wish I had Sweet JP's hair!

Nice Cyber. I'm liking this trend.

I'm going to interrupt our regularly schedule program for a brief message from our sponsors:
Get to da choppa!

If you haven't head banged to this great rendition of Aaahnold then you haven't lived

AQfumes · December 2016

@Zenbane: Here ya go..

Zenbane · December 2016

Great choice @AQfumes

I listened to a lot of Death Angel back in the day. Had a few of their albums on cassette! In particular was the Album, "Act III." I listened to that start to finish hundreds of time in my early teens.

OpticKing · December 2016

I'm just going to leave these here.

Ok ok, last one wasn't music technically, but that vid's music to my ears. XD

GtAwyFrmMyRamen · December 2016

Two of my favs

kojack · December 2016

Cyber's last one makes me think of this:

jmalmsten · December 2016

I often say that I have no real taste in music as in preferential genres and such. I just love GOOD music. Which I know is a cop out... because there are genres that generally do nothing for me.

But in terms of pieces that I will drop all I'm working on to just enjoy the sonical experience I'll give a few picks:

I am a movie nut so most of my favourites are related to that. From classics like Princes of the Universe:

Or Flash Gordon:

But I can't fill the list with only Queen so a bit of more modernities slip in with Daft Punk sometimes:

Or Vangelis:

And while some people called it monotonous, I loved the sound of Fury Road:

And while Heavy Metal got all the fame I actually prefer the lesser known Nelvana production (yes... the studio behind Carebears):

Outside of movies I love one musical in particular:

And in Anime noone has yet beaten the trio of

Yoko Kanno:

Susumu Hirasawa:

And Joe Hisaishi

Oh... I almost forgot the Maestro himself!

And lastly, if I've been too high brow:

And:

I would have posted the Chris Hadfield Space Oddity but you guys beat me to it. So I'll stop the list here and immidiately I'll kick my self for forgetting someone obvious.

Like:

kojack · December 2016

I often listen to Jeff Wayne's The War Of The Worlds at work. Epic musical.

Queen's Flash Gordon is in my Spotify Elite Dangerous list, but I should add Princes Of The Universe too. Highlander isn't scifi (well, Highlander 2 is, but let's never speak of it again), but the song sounds appropriate for a space game.

Here's a cool one. Journey Of The Sorcerer by The Eagles. If you don't recognise which TV series used this as it's theme then you need to watch better shows.

Nobbs66 · December 2016

I've been listening to a lot of Metallica's new album, Hardwired to Self-Destruct.
