First set: Dust in the Wind and The Pretender! :up:

Latest set: After seven years of vigorous drum practice in the high mountains of the West I still can not properly play the drum beat of System of Down. That's why I love the song, and everything else about it is nice too.

[Gatsby]

Mad World and Nothing Else Matters are both great songs. I find Cleanin' Out my Closet to be decent, I prefer other Eminem songs.

Pink Floyd is a hit or miss for me, not a fan of the one you recently posted. But I love the Pink Floyd song you're gonna post high on your list. ;)

[Mr Minio]

I really like Mad World. I heard it two years before watching Donnie Darko. Actually, it was my reason to watch it. To see how they used the song. I found this song in one of many cryptozoology videos on YouTube.

[christine]

Love Mad World

Not a big fan of Linkin Park.

[Pussy Galore]

How do you post youtube vidoes. I never learned how to do it.

[Miss Vicky]

Both of those last picks are great. :up:

@NedStark. If you're using a PC you can just copy and paste the video's url into your reply. The forum will automatically embed them. If you're on a mobile device and using the mobile version of youtube, delete the m in the url and replace it with www.

[honeykid]

I'm with MV on this one, two great choices, Derek. :cool:

[Gatsby]

How do you post youtube vidoes. I never learned how to do it.
Quote a post with a YouTube vid in it.

Anways, Losing my Religion is overrated but Dream On is a life song for me and should've have won the 11th song tournament.

[christine]

Losing My Religion is a fantastic song :)

[Derek Vinyard]

4. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Dani California
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sb5aq5HcS1A

Thanks, Derek.

RHCP I kinda like, but I had too much of them during one certain night and they kinda turn me off now.

You're welcome Minio and thanks for the comment buddy !

2. Avenged Sevenfold - A Little Piece Of Heaven
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VurhzANQ_B0
- This song is the perfect definition of musical masterpiece. A musical comedy with awesome rock beats. I LOVE IT and it's my favorite A7X song.

[Mr Minio]

I used to love A7X, but I no longer listen to them, because they are too mainstream and fancy hipsters who love underground unknown music hate them, so I have to hate them, too. Haha, kidding, but yeah, I still give their best albums 3.5/5 on RYM, so perhaps this is a proof I'm not a snob. I'm just listening to them again and enjoying the music. :)

I liked to play their songs on my guitar. Especially this one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKa3BYIcfwU

I remember constantly playing the guitar harmony part of Bat Country:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D51lLswU8t8

Only to never master it (I could play it, knew the notes, but still was pretty sloppy, especially at the end, when the fast part comes). Then I gave up guitar and now I'm back to playing it, but I never really dedicated a lot of time to it and I often ceased to play for days, so I only play guitar for fun or to kill the stress, or play some easy movie soundtracks, or try to decipher them by ear, or what not.

[Swan]

I was into their first album for a bit, in 8th grade. Some good memories with that album.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WY6qhDEJpE

[Derek Vinyard]

that A7X love put a big smile on my face!!

@Minio I LOVE Unholly Confessions and that cover was awesome man!

@Swan That album was sick man happy that you like it :)

[Swan]

On the subject of growly metal, my friend showed me this band, Arch Enemy. Ever hear of them, Derek? The growler/singer is a chick!

HOLY SH*T this song is great man! thanks Swan

[Mr Minio]

I was into their first album for a bit, in 8th grade. Some good memories with that album. This one I disliked even back when I listened to this kind of music.

I used to love them, but just like with A7X and all that 'modern metal' stuff, I no longer listen to this kind of music. If you like them, try The Agonist, well, Agonist's singer is now singing for Arch Enemy.

1. Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPL_SV3n7IU
- Simply The best song I have ever heard and certainly the song I want at my funeral. I remember crying one time because of this song (no kidding).
http://www.eagle-vision.tv/Content/Images/Brand/Pink%20Floyd%20The%20Story%20Of%20Wish%20You%20Were%20Here%2052.jpg

[Swan]

Right on brother. Classic and for good reason. :cool:

[Fabulous]

Respect for some Eminem.

Mad World, simply a masterpiece.

And RHCP, my favorite band of all time.

hell yeah buddy

[Gatsby]

Great finish to the list Derek. I used to not like Wish You Were here and Pink Floyd in general but now I can easily say your #1 pick is a favorite of mine. Beautiful song. :)

[Kaplan]

> sees 'American - A Horse With No Name'

Thanks, Derek.

RHCP I kinda like, but I had too much of them during one certain night and they kinda turn me off now.

The band is actually America. It's one of my very favorite songs, and I might have included it on my own "Top 40" songs. And I just recently found out that's not Neil Young singing it...sheesh, it sounds just like him, and if you do a search online, you'll see many, many others are equally mistaken.

[christine]

Horse with No Name is a great song. I thought you'd have Pink Floyd as your number one. I'm not a huge fan (my husband is tho) but they are a great band, and it's lovely to see how music gets passed down the generations and lives on. :)

[Swan]

Derek, I think you'll like this song.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kGhzf5cESU

[Mr Minio]

Great band, but for me California is their masterpiece, Swan. ;)
