Reply With QuoteThe ONLY Xmas song I will listen to.Originally Posted by storry_teller
One of my favourite songs of all time. Listen without prejudice was a great album but Older was another level up. The album comes from a really dark place, he'd kept his mourning the death of Anselmo private (and also had the unsuccessful court battle with Sony at the same time), and while Fastlove is so catchy and was really easy to dance to, what gets lost with some people is that it was a brutally honest introspective on his addiction to one night stands to cope with his grief.
The ONLY Xmas song I will listen to.
Not “All I want for Xmas is you”?
Man, I’m sick of that song
That song is like pipe bombs down my cerebellum..
I would rather shave my testicles with a cheese grater than listen to it. I don't believe in Hell, but if it does happen to exist then no doubt for me that song is playing on a permanent loop while I queue up in an eternal Christmas shopping queue, as I get to the front that register closes and so have to join another queue, and so on, queue after queue, hour after hour, day after day, All I want for fucking Christmas on eternal repeat, and all the people in the queues have terrible body odour and talk incessantly on their phones about various aspects of their lives that grate on my nerves, all the while mispronouncing words like "punkin" and "pacific" instead of pumpkin and specific, until finally I can take it no longer and beg Satan to just stick the 1000 wasps up my peehole and dump me in the lava and be done with it...
I'm not very Chrsitmassy.
I do love last Christmas though...

Demons - Imagine Dragons
such an average song...

If you've never heard the song you've probably heard it sampled on any one of 6 or 7 dance tracks. Was panned by critics on release but I think it's one of their best songs.
I was a big fan of this group, brought back a lot of memories......Merry Christmas everybody.......
I was first introduced to it through this song https://youtu.be/no1vf854aUc
A girl I was seeing at the time did a little DJ work in London and she then played the original, the full 9 min version, such an epic track, the horns are brilliant and Pete slapping that bass and belting it out.
Another song she introduced me to was https://youtu.be/oEYgSuIWPTs which of course I knew from the solo around the 2min mark which was sampled in this https://youtu.be/JGHwNy9ZMts
In fact it was from there I realised just how awesome James Brown and his associated acts were and how many songs of his were sampled in tracks I loved.
Ice T- You Played Yourself sampled The Boss
Blackstreet- No Diggity sampled Blind Men Can See It
Blues and Pants was used by both Ice T in New Jack Hustler and Geto Boys in Scarface
Hot Pants was sampled in Eric B & Rakims classic Paid in Full.
Insane in The Brain = Say It Loud
The Payback = En Vogue "Hold On" and Ice Cube "Jackin for Beats"
Here Comes the Hotstepper = Bobby Byrd "Hot Pants"
Fuck Tha Police - Funky President
Funky Drummer - Gett Off by Prince
The Grunt - Rebel Without a Pause, Night of the living Baseheads and Protect Ya Neck.
Public Enemy also used James Brown samples on Welcome to the Terrordome (2 different songs), Bring The Noise and so on.

The good Doctor Alban prescribes you a classic 90s summer dance tune, this song takes me back to my teens sneaking in to clubs with a fake ID with all my mates and all the girls wearing white under the uv lights...
I’ve got new found appreciation of classic rock n roll:
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven
Here’s a live version:
https://youtu.be/xbhCPt6PZIU
That riff at the end is a work of pure genius!
Also rocking:
Eric Clapton / Derek and the Dominos - Layla (incredible guitar work and killer second half tune!)
The Boomtown Rats - I Don’t Like Mondays (the tune is so hypnotic, I can see how it could compel someone to a mass shooting!)
Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone (I find it very poetic)
My favourite Zepp song has always been Kashmir.

You'd probably appreciate Rainbow as well

Also I don't like Monday's is actually about a mass shooting, not the reason for...
Yeah you're right about I Don't Like Mondays. Somehow I thought it inspired a shooting. Might've confused it with another song.
Yeah, I love Kashmir too. Also love Immigrant Song. So many incredible riffs from them seriously. They're all timeless, immortalised!
The thing that pissed me off about I don't like Monday's is whwn radio stations play it on a Monday and the moron DJ clearly has no idea of the history and is like "yeah I know how they feel" kind of bullshit, it's literally about a girl who shot up a playground, and when she was asked why she did it said "I don't like Mondays."
A Marilyn Manson song was often said to be the song a guy was playing before a mass shooting, I forget which one.
You might also dig Dio https://youtu.be/qcWKZTI9OC4
