Julian Cope « Charlotte Anne »
Well, what to say… Curious song. Very curious… It seems to go a bit everywhere, so it is nice some moments, and then bad a few seconds later… Overall listenable, but quite forgettable to me.

Captain Beefheart “I’m glad”
I had never ever heard of this Captain Beefheart before joining this thread… Second song I hear of them… Pretty good song. Not the kind I’m getting excited about, but good song.

Black Sabbath “Paranoid”
I’m not much of a Sabbath connoisseur, but I found this one pretty enjoyable. When I think of Ozzy Osbourne’s voice now, I can’t believe it’s the same guy…
Geezer
The Migthy Mighty Bosstones “The impression that I get”
Wow, that wasn’t exactly a song I expected from you Geezer… I’m not saying I like it though… but it’s surprising.
Becs
Silverchair “Across the night”
The beginning ain’t extraordinary… at all… let’s wait for the rest of the song… Yeah… well, no, still nothing great to my ears I’m afraid…

Sebastien Tellier “L’amour et la violence”
Woooowww, Sébastien Tellier !!!! That’s funny undeadmonkey ! Tellier !!! I wasn’t expecting him on these boards !!!
Actually, I love that song. I looove that song. Lol Amazing song. Damn, I didn’t think of putting it on my list, but I could almost have done it. Amazing choice, UDM, really. French electro/pop bands are often excellent. Tellier, Air, Daft Punk… This song is hypnotic.
As for the lyrics, here’s a rough translations for those of you interested (he repeats the same over and over again) :
Tell me what you think
Of my life, of my adolescence
Tell me what you think
I ‘m also fond of love and violence

Rage against the machine “Killing in the name”
It’s funny, my two best girl friends often sing this one when we go to the Korean Karaoke. Not bad, stylish energy. A bit too harsh for me to want to listen to it often, but cool song.
Buscemi
Roxy Music “More than this”
This is the kind of song my mom loves !! She’s got good taste generally, so it’s by no means an insult ! She loves Ferry. I’m not a big fan, but it brings back old memories, so it’s a nice song to hear for me.
Surfer
Radiohead, “Exit music (for a film)”
Well, I can only say Bravo for this choice, man. This song transports me every single time I listen to it. A pure moment of spleen that explodes into musical “epicness” (is that a word ?). It’s greatness.
Transformers
Metallica “Creeping death”
I can’t say I’m a fan of Metallica… And after listenin to it, I can’t say I’m a fan of this song either… Too much metal for me.

Merle Haggard “ Fightin’ side of me”
Wowwww, it sounds so much like smoething that will never play on a French radio !!

It feels so exotic to my ears it’s funny to listen to, but it’s not my style.
Banks
Stevie Wonder “My Cherie amour”
I’ve always found this song’s title funny, because those French words put together feel weird. In French we’d either say “Ma chérie” or “Mon amour”, so “my Cherie” or “my amour”, but not Ma chérie amour, it sounds really weird^^ Except from that, the song isn’t really special…
Englishozzy
System of a down “Lonely day”
I actually quite like this song although System of a down isn’t really a band I like. It’s the Shia LaBeouf movie “Disturbia” that made me rediscover it. I can easily listen to it from time to time.
BarcaRulz
Weezer “Porks and Beans”
I preferred the last Weezer song listed (don’t remember which it was). This one’s nice, but is not one that will last in my mind long…
Frendo
Betty Blowtorch “I’m ugly and I don’t know why”
I love the title ! The song... well, I’m not really enchanted by it, but it’s listenable.
Ron B
1979 : Amazing song
Can’t Stop : The intro is fantastic, the rest of the song is okay
