Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Storm

[stevensonmat2]

I love love storm, but I always felt it could have been more powerful.

[Kage]

I don't even see how that's possible.

[stevensonmat2]

haha I know but I think they could do it. Everytime I hear the song im just waiting for the world to explode and it doesnt happen.

[Kage]

Happens for me, idk. That's one of the most powerful pieces of music I've ever heard, if not the most.

[stevensonmat2]

I just wish I could see it live, im sure I would burst into flame.

[Meatplow]

Flawless songs are boring

But they can be flawless in the way that their imperfections give them a character, and are perfect just the way they are.

[Nepenthe]

I could listen to the first 5 minutes of Storm for the rest of my life. And still get teary eyed every single time.

I think we need a few more pointless list threads by the way.

[Riva]

Pfft, you sort of expect the break, and it makes the song work, rather than just dragging it out.

Go listen to King Crimson. :rolleyes:

flawless reccomendation

[Meatplow]

None of these songs mentioned are flawless. There is no such thing as a flawless song.

Objectively yes, but i mean flawless in a personal and subjective sense. As in a song which in it's imperfect character works in a way that makes it feel like a perfect song to you.

[Eliminator]

how can it be objective?

[Meatplow]

Well perfection is a subjective thing, ones man trash another man's treasure etc. If you look at it objectively none of these songs are perfect because it's in the eye of the beholder only on a subjective level can a song be called perfect.

For example Joe might cite Hammer Smashed Face by Cannibal Corpse as the most perfect song in the history of music, Bob might reference Mood Indigo by Duke Ellington. Either one might absolutely abhor the other persons choice of song but fact remains to them it seems individually perfect. So looking at it from an outside perspective you might be inclined to say there can never be a perfect song if nobody can agree due to personal taste.

[south_of_heaven 11]

Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be thy Name

[Josh D.]

Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be thy Name

[RetiredAt21]

Fine. I'm gone.

[Det_Nosnip]

Good list, especially the Crimson and Coltrane mentions.

Thanks...I left a bunch of stuff out though...mostly b/c I didn't have time to think of 'em.

E.g. Winter, Blood Roses, Precious Things by Tori Amos

and

Blue & Green by Miles Davis/Bill Evans

and

"Israel" as performed by Bill Evans....etc. Oh, and "O, Fortuna" by Orff, and "March Slav" by Tchaicovsky. Aaah, and can't forget Rachmaninov's Piano Concertos..*sigh* The list goes on and on. This would have been halfway feasible if genre was specified, but even then...

[Danger Bird]

Point/Counterpoint, A Moment of Silence, A Better Place A Better Time, That'll Be the Day, and pretty much everything else by Streetlight Manifesto.

[Seraphim]

actually...

Endless Rain by X Japan

[heavy metal kid]

Cynic-Focus(the whole album)
Kyuss- Space Cadet
Deep Purple-Highway Star

and many of the songs already mentioned.

[ArcLite]

Cynic-Focus(the whole album)

Flaw #1: Annoying robot vocals...Otherwise, though.

[heavy metal kid]

I think the robot vocals give Focus a deeper sound and makes it more interesting.

[A Spoonful Supreme]

jeez this forum's selections blow

[charlielocust]

for pure adrenaline fuelled stupidity

Danko Jones - The Cross

[Iron Bars]

The Gathering (with Garm) - A life all mine

[Collis]

Kyuss- Space Cadet



:thumb: Good choice, sir.

[Jude]

led zeppelin- stairway to heaven



extra generic choices ft

Generic but true, this song is flawless.


Billy Idol - White Wedding

[Mr. Ron]

Anything by Rick Roll

[RetiredAt21]

I think "In The Morning Before Work" by Owen is a really good song.

[UpperDecker]

Deftones - Fist

[Kage]

Deftones - Fist

Yes.

[PepsiMetal]

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird

[Lord Abortion]

Iron Maiden-Hallowed be thy name.

Nothing better

[TojesDolan]

Powerslave has more humph to be quite honest

>_>

[Riva]

I really have to say Sabaton - Metal Machine, if only for the numerous musical references they managed to cram into their song.

[Jude]

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird

The unneccessary extra 4 minutes or so of wanking is a major flaw.

[British Beef]

napalm death - you suffer :lol:

[RetiredAt21]

napalm death - you suffer :lol:

Now that's a good song.

[superpeer]

Belle and Sebastian - Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying

[Iron Bars]

I really have to say Sabaton - Metal Machine, if only for the numerous musical references they managed to cram into their song.


They played half that song when I saw them live as finisher. Crowd went wild.

[Shattered_Future]

The unneccessary extra 4 minutes or so of wanking is a major flaw.

That, and the unnecessary 3 minute or so intro.

[TojesDolan]

napalm death - you suffer :lol:
I approve.

Porcupine Tree - The start of something beautiful.

[Sleepy]

Frank Zappa - Peaches En Regalia

[Meatplow]

Duke Ellington's "The Far East Suite" album is really doing it for me, every song on here is perfect. I dunno if it's my mood or what but the music is really speaking to me tonight. It's beautiful...

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Hmmm, perhaps you should share that via the DU? =D

[EightMilesHigh]

Belle and Sebastian - Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying

Most stuff on IYFS is perfect, but one that really stands out to me is "Seeing Other People."

The Pogues - If I Should Fall From Grace With God

It starts off quick and keeps a great beat. Really catchy, easy to sing along to.

[Meatplow]

Hmmm, perhaps you should share that via the DU? =D

Sure, tell me how to work it and i will.

The Pogues - If I Should Fall From Grace With God

It starts off quick and keeps a great beat. Really catchy, easy to sing along to.

Have you listened to Rum, Sodomy & The Lash? I can't speak for their other albums as i haven't listened to them but there are so many good songs.

[superpeer]

Most stuff on IYFS is perfect, but one that really stands out to me is "Seeing Other People."


That's a good one too, but, Get Me Away... is my favourite on that album by far, I'd put Mayfly second. Seeing Other People can be third, I guess. <-<

jeff buckley - hallelujah

The beginning is the good part. Only retarded rednecks think the wanky soloing is what makes the song.

Porcupine Tree - The start of something beautiful.
jeff buckley - hallelujah
Good picks

[Killtacular]

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird

**** that, Simple Man is where it's at.

[RetiredAt21]

I'm gonna retract my previous statement about how a song can't be perfect. I found one.

Funerailles by Niflheim.

[Mr. Ron]

I'm gonna retract my previous statement about how a song can't be perfect. I found one.

Funerailles by Niflheim.

Maybe if the vocals weren't all white noise.

[Interviewer/surveyer]

Slayer- South Of Heaven


the song may be flawless, but the recording sucks. On Decade of Agression, the song sounds MUCH better.

[RetiredAt21]

Maybe if the vocals weren't all white noise.

I think the vocals fit the music perfectly.

Everlast - What It's Like
Blind Melon - No Rain
Jeff Buckley - Grace
Meshuggah - New Millennium Cyanide Christ

Happens for me, idk. That's one of the most powerful pieces of music I've ever heard, if not the most.

I just wish I could see it live, im sure I would burst into flame.

I agree completely.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Storm

I stand by this.

[Meatplow]

Everlast - What It's Like
Blind Melon - No Rain
Jeff Buckley - Grace
Meshuggah - New Millennium Cyanide Christ
Rush - Tom Sawyer
Nine Inch Nails - Closer
Beck - Where It's At

Haven't heard that song for ages, it's great.

I'm going to pine for the combination of Overture/It's A Boy/1921/Amazing Journey/Sparks/Eyesight To The Blind/Christmas/Cousin Kevin/The Acid Queen/Underture off Tommy by The Who, the rest of the songs are great but IMO taper off. These songs as the intro i can listen to forever.

Iron maiden - hallowed be thy name

Cradle of Filth: "Hallowed be thy Name (Shallow be my Grave)"

Yes, I know, same song. I like CoF's version better.

[Txus]

You gotta be ****in' kidding me man.

King Crimson - Walking On Air

[Valhall]

No. Why?

[Txus]

Because I can't believe you can say a "cover song" is better than the origianl song, especially when the band covering the song is COF

[Valhall]

Iron Maiden is not my style. Is it truly hard to comprehend that a more modern and different style band could cover a song, and someone might like it?

Not everyone is required to enjoy old school metal. I have nothing but respect for it, but I'm sorry, I just can't get into it. That's all.

Well now you do :thumb:

dude cold world is the worst song on liquid swords

It's been stuck in my head for a while now... I had to put it down in hopes of clearing it from my mind.

[Kage]

Well now you do :thumb:

Yeah, but...

why?

[NemesisDivina]

Well, umm... they sort of rule. It's kinda for the same reasons that you like random noise and wanking saxophone players.

I've come to the conclusion that I am your tastes and Tyler's tastes mixed together into one massive supernova of awesome taste in music.

[Kage]

Well, umm... they sort of rule. It's kinda for the same reasons that you like random noise and wanking saxophone players.


Haha, I don't really see the connection, but okay.

Neither do I... just felt like mentioning that :p

This thread ignores the fact that music is subjective and can not have "flaws". Only sounds that one enjoys and sounds that one doesn't.

Well can't it be relatively (rather than objectively) flawless, or flawed, in that case?

[RNR]

Well can't it be relatively (rather than objectively) flawless, or flawed, in that case?

I wouldn't use the word "flawed". Nothing is better than perfection, but some people have multiple songs that they would consider perfect, and yet they can like one of those songs better than they like another. Thus, music can not be perfect and if music can't be perfect, it can't be flawed.
