Rate the Song Above You

The Darkness...The video was much better than the song. The song reminded me of a half-assed early MTV song. 4/10

I have not heard the original of this song. It's not that I don't like Ms. Swift, I just hate paying the asking price for her album, but I would pay pretty much anything Ryan Adams wants to charge:

Has anyone rated this one yet?


I give it 10/10. My kind of music.
 
LOL .. I heard this really cool song on Spotify the other day and didn't see what the name of the song was. I spent the last 30 min. trying to find out what that song was. Then just now I clicked on Young Blood's song and turned out the song is Ryan Adam's "All You Had to do was Stay".


Thanks YB!!!

I find it hard to believe that the performance and the dancing weren't just spliced together randomly. That's a whiter audience that you'd see at BYU...

That said. Hooker. Man, classic. 8/10, and only that low because I couldn't stop laughing at those kids.

Here's a guy I've gotten into a lot lately (I might have shared this here before). Simply one of the greatest instrumentalists of all time. I feel kind of sorry for the guys who have to try to keep up:

Kevin Meisel - Country Lines
not bad, but not a home run - I'd call it a 2-bagger
7/10

here's one that seems appropriate for the current gloom and doom crowd, an updated spin on one of my old favorites

I'll label the song above me as cute, yet I can't give it any more than a 3/10 artistically speaking. Here's my 2 cents:

Jason Isbell - How to Forget
9/10 - like it a lot, sort of melancholy, but uptempo

ok, here's another sort of goofy song, for some reason the subject of John and Lorena Bobbitt came up at bowling this afternoon, and it reminded me of this song. enjoy!

Very good Moe.. 8/10.


How about this guy though, what can't he do? He can sing, he can dance, he's pretty talented.


Went No. 1 in itunes in 89 countries can't be wrong.

1/10

Not that I'm a blind hater of radio pop music, but the song wasnt even fun or catchy.

6/10 ... love the effort but just not really my style...

Not really a Ryan Adams fan (it too close to that hack, Bryan Adams. Seriously, that's my problem.) but this was good. 7/10

If you like him, maybe you'll like this (I'm kind of in a maudlin mood, and this song reflects it, particularly this performance):

Good voice, I'll give it a 6/10

Some good underground garage punk right there.

Man, I was kind of digging it until the cowbell. They definitely studied their Stooges, tho. 7/10.

Here's a classic Elvis Costello tune with a bit of an update.

ugh, sorry OL, not my cup of tea at all, way too slow and maudlin - plus I just generally get annoyed at any song that takes two minutes to get going - and the constant background conversation that was throughout the first 2-3 minutes was also annoying

2/10 (she does have a very powerful voice)

here's a new one I like, has an updated classic rock sound:
The Strypes - Scumbag City

I don't fault anybody for having a good time, cranking up the bright major chords, and taking solos. That's all good. But this isn't shooting for a new feeling; it's a recycled sort of sensation you can get a better/smarter dose of if you listen to Television ([url[/MEDIA[/MEDIA]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ojv08YmDedI[/url]). Funny video. Pretty mediocre production and overall sound quality. Not pissed I gave it my attention, but wouldn't go back for more.

5/10

Here's some of my favorite ish in the past decade. Colin Stetson does circular breathing into his sax for an amazing continuous sound. He's joined on this recent record by his long-time partner Sarah Neufeld. Violinist; able to meet Colin on the orgiastic/athletic terrain that he's more or less perfected at this point. This track is Steve Reich-esq. It sounds like their relationship, to me.

^ 6/10


This video will only work if accessing from a computer I think:

[video]https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PLO32RIkIL2PhkNlCTFVbXJrHp-DKHQA67&v=uww2R-Cql1o

Song is Everybody Loves the Sunshine - Takuya Kuroda (a Roy Ayers cover)

VinylOne would appreciate. It's on YouTube, just not "mobile YouTube".

I know Dala has already rated this but I'd like to rate it as well.

I give it 9/10.

One of the unusual and captivating piece of music I've heard in a long time. Very intense as well, a lot of concentration as well as chemistry between the two artists is required. Just a perfect mix of two instruments. Artistic and yet quite accessible too.
 
Takuya Kuroda ☼ Everybody loves the sunshine ☼
hmmm... sort of a little too much of a new-age sound for me, and the incessant percussion in the background sort of overtakes the melody - I like it better when the vocals start though
5.5 / 10


here's one in honor of the season, a classic oldie, but not by the original artist...
Personally, I like this version much better

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7QzxYAjgNc
 
VOLBEAT - " I ONLY WANNA BE WITH YOU"


8/10 - wowzah!!! A good song in its original version, and this a good interpretation, I love the hard driving rock sound. It'd be fun to hear that one live, in a club.

sticking with theme of "not by the original artist" - here's one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite singer-songwriter, but in another more "hard-charging" version
