I can hardly bemoan the fact that this thread is sorely underused whilst ignoring an uploaded comp. Alfred I'm just d/l yours now and back with opinions a little later.

Alfred:
1. Story Of The Year "And The Hero Will Drown" Heard it all before. I don't dislike it but I don't like it much either. 2. At The Drive-In "Napoleon Solo" I have'nt heard much of this band, which is surprising considering I like 'Mars Volta'. I think this could be a grower. 3. Streetlight Manifesto "Watch It Crash" At last I have heard them. I wish I had'nt. The 3rd wave of ska has generally failed to grasp the rhythmn of Ska and what it represents. It seems like they only want to play a fast skank on the verses and then a heavy riff coupled with a horn motif on the chorus and that's Ska. It's not people. I wonder whether some of these bands have even heard proper Ska? 4. Maylene & The Sons Of Disaster "Dry The River" The most frustrating track. Why? Because the main theme of the song is great and the main riff is really good. However the chorus is terrible and ruins the song for me. 5. Dropkick Murphys "Fields Of Athenry" Something about this band that does'nt ring true. The Irish 'influences' seem contrived. This is about the 4th or 5th track of theirs I have heard and they have all failed to convince. 6. Underoath "When The Sun Sleeps" I thought this was O.K. I would give an album a listen. 7. Lagwagon "May 16" No, no, no, no. Awful. 8. Rage Against The Machine "People Of The Sun" You can't go wrong with RATM can you? Great band. 9. Alexisonfire ".44 Caliber Love Letter" I only have their debut from which this is taken from and I really like it. I really need to hear some more of their albums. Great choice. 10. Saetia "Venus and Bacchus" Not cohesive enough for me but at least it sounded a little different to a lot of the dross out there. Don't let some of my negative comments put you off either. Keep posting those lists.

Haha, will do. Your post was more positive than I expected, believe it or not.
![]() Edit: Oh, and about that Underoath song, I a lot of the other songs on the album don't sound much like that song. More/less just metal riffs, the odd keyboard part, and screamed vocals. And that album is the only one of theirs that really sounds like that. The stuff after that is very "scene", more polished, and the screamed vocals are very different (though I still dig it), and their older stuff is pretty much deathcore. That album is kind of everything put together.

This is a mix I commonly listen to when I have trouble sleeping....
#1. 10,000 Maniacs - Becase The Night This song is a cover of an old Springsteen song. Her voice is amazing, and it's just a soothing song to listen to. #2. The Cranberries - Linger Classic. One of my favorite songs by this band. #3. John Mayer - Gravity One of Mayer's more blues oriented songs. Relaxing. #4. Dido - Thank You The woman's voice is amazing, and she writes some brilliant lyrics. #5. Natalie Merchant - Jealousy Old lead singer for the band 10,000 Maniacs. Her voice is relaxing, and this is probably the best song I've heard from her solo work. #6. Dido - White Flag Yes, a double dose. Her voice is droolworthy. #7. Bush - Letting The Cables Sleep Very slow and relaxing song from Bush. Rossdale is amazing. #8. Pearl Jam - Come Back One of my favorite songs from their latest album. Slow paced, kind of reminds me of Van Morrison a little bit. #9. Fleetwood Mac - Dreams I love Stevie Nicks. #10. Mark Knopfler - 5:15 A.M. Slow song, and probably my favorite from Knopfler. Forgive me for not posting a link......my dial up is so slow, it would take me a few days just to get it uploaded. If someone wants them though, I guess you could just use Limewire. Or...I could upload a copy of Limewire pro? Enjoy. |

Oh? I thought he and Patti Smith wrote the song together?
And I'm downloading Etta James now. Edit: And Etta James pwns. I've heard this song before ^_^

Oh okay, apparently so. Patti Smith performed it first, according to allmusic, but also according to allmusic, they did compose it together. I had always heard it attributed solely to Smith.
Learn something new every day. Thanks!
