Ария - Возьми мое сердце

 

Arsonist's Lullabye

 

Its got to be christmas songs.

 

Queen - White Queen (A Night At The Odeon -...

Freddie Mercury - Goin' Back (1973) VHQ/HD

Led Zeppelin - The Battle Of Evermore

I have many many more though.

 

Dude Ария rocks.

 

Is your Russian good enough to understand the meaning of Russian songs? I enjoy songs by "Leningrad," but often it helps to understand the words in order for one to appreciate those songs.

 

Depends. usually I can understand it if they enunciate well.

 

I tried to choose a good song to introduce one to Leningrad, but I realized that they are full of slang and the best part of these songs are the countless subtle details that people here are unlikely to appreciate. In any case, the clip below is a good illustration of "things in our country are not the way they are supposed to be" which these days is relevant for both Russia and the West

Ленинград — Никола

Here the singer enunciates well, and it is a pretty cool song. Having said this, this is not one of Leningrad's clips that people say are better than most movies that they had ever seen

Ленинград — Дала, не дала

This one is a fun one

Ленинград — ЗОЖ

This clip is Russia's answer to Quentin Tarantino

Ленинград — Очки Собчак

This clip is seething with with hatred for life in Russia outside of the major cities (the song itself begins at 3:30)

Ленинград — Кандидат

and I had already posted the fun clip below earlier in this thread

Ленинград — Кольщик

 

Here is mine

Intervals - Epiphany (HD)

 

Followed by my second, I don't really enjoy music that is too much mainstream most of time, there is so much hidden gems!

Polyphia | Impassion (Guitar Playthrough)

 

My last is a great headbanger (after that I sometimes wonder why I have tinnitus...) Was not helping to listen to these at an unreasonable volume

MESHUGGAH - Demiurge (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

 

Meshuggah is really underrated.

 

Yes! The breakdowns are amazing (almost constant)

 

I also enjoy other kind of music like rap and electronics but from a very limited range of artist

Bones - TheArtOfCremation

Bong - Hostile Enforcement

MANTIS - BOSS FIGHT VIP

(Mantis was actual the best concert I never attended, wait for the drop you will be amaze)

 

This is still the best russian song.

Weird russian singer - Chum Drum Bedrum

 

There are no pop, rock, rap, disco, hip hop, new age, breakbeat, dubstep, industrial, techno, trance, etc. songs that Don't sound like That to me. Seriously - this song and all of the songs that make up those genres introduced after 1960, make me feel the exact same way for the exact same reason - they sound ridiculous (to me). Annoying pathetic noise (almost as bad as T ).

 

Midge Ure - Breathe (Orchestrated) (Official...

 

Simon And Garfunkel - The Sound Of Silence...

 

The Cranberries - Zombie

RIP Dolores.

 

Beck - Girl

I'm a huge beck fan

 

Led Zepplin? Pfffft this guy first performed Willie Dixon’s ‘Bring It On Home’

Sonny Boy Williamson - Bring It On Home

Allman Brothers / Stormy Monday

Allman Brothers Blues Band - Blue Sky - Live...

 

Ironically, my favorite song is Enjoy the Silence by Depeche Mode.

 

Okay, I'm dating myself here. This may not be my favorite-favorite song, but it's the first one that popped in my head. Because, you know, what a long strange trip it's been.

Grateful Dead - Truckin'

 

Belinda Carlisle - Heaven Is A Place On Earth

AS if it matters now that I have hearing distortion in my right ear the meaning is gone and my dreams are killed and my life is now a hell on earth indefinitely.

 

I love so much music.... However Dolores O'Riordan from the Cranberries has been playing through my mind a lot these days, God rest her soul, I will miss her:

Oh my life is changing every day
In every possible way
And oh my dreams
Is never quite as it seems
Never quite as it seems

(Dreams)

Other likes: Leonard Cohen (Sound of Silence), Tragically Hip, and I dare to admit...some ABBA!

 

I liked some of Abba's work too:

Abba - Dancing Queen

 

Smashing Pumpkins debut album Gish! It doesn’t get much better than this

Smashing Pumpkins - Snail

SP’s 2nd album Siamese Dream

Smashing Pumpkins - Mayonaise

 

Also like The Revivalists: “Wish I Knew You When I Was Young.”

 

Louisiana blues from guitar smoking Tab Benoit

Tab Benoit- Nice and Warm

 

I'm a little mellow and in a Cars mood. Hope you like it @jimH
