1 song to convince someone to listen to your favorite band

[DigDog]

i see your cry of achilles and raise you a Achille's Agony And Extasy, In Eight Parts - Manowar

barely a tad over 28 minutes.

 

[KeithTalent]

Some new and classic stuff in this thread for me. Thanks all! Some of my favourite bands, like Jawbreaker or Screeching Weasel for example, I'm not sure I could actually find a song that most people would like and would be indicative of the rest of their oeuvre. I think these ones work though; some of them are my favourite songs by the band, some not:

Bad Religion - Along The Way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-86gFx9yg50

Avengers - Car Crash: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zB0yGPQud_g

Metric - Gold Guns Girls

Future of the Left - The Hope that House Built

Misfits - Hybrid Moments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MDOKVSN_YM

Meatbodies - Him: https://youtu.be/ZuernzZbitA?t=4m54s

I kissed a girl - Katy Parry

Dude, that's one of her weaker songs.

I would have went with Roar or Firework instead.

 

[ultimatebob]

I would go with Cake - The Distance. That song just rocks hard!

The music video is weird, though. ALL of Cake's music videos are kinda weird.

Pink Floyd - Run like Hell.

Everyone knows that riff. A lot of people don't know where it comes from.

All it takes is one listen and you will always remember how great this was: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

Anyone up for some Black Sabbath ?

 

[aigomorla]

Not my favorite, but definitely a song i ask my friends to check out for a good laugh.

Going for simpler stuff

"Favorite" band is too hard, how about just good music you want others to hear? Mine:

 

[Ns1]

I feel like the standard has decreased dramatically from post #1

 

[shortylickens]

I dont have a favorite band.

The only song I know from Artificial Joy Club is Sick & Beautiful.

 

[Ns1]

Nordic Giants A thousand Lost Dreams for those who prefer instrumental stuff (though honestly, I could pick about 20 of their songs.)

Or, Shine if you prefer something with vocals

They aren't my favorite and I have broken the rules by giving 2 tracks.

My ADD prevented me from listening to these but the imagery was really cool and I hope to circle back on this

 

[Ns1]

Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize

17 minutes; nice.

 

[BurnItDwn]

for your ADD there is no band quite like ADHD from Iceland. I'm really loving their latest album, ADHD6, It's just as good as their previous albums, ADHD5, ADH4, and ADHD3.
I really wish there was an easy way to find and buy ADHD1 & ADHD2 in the US

Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize

ok I've given PT another shot and Anesthetize is the best that I've heard so far. What other tracks are like this?

The whole Fear of a Blank Planet Album has a similar vibe IMO, though Anesthetize features Alex Lifeson from Rush, so the rest might not scratch that itch quite as well.

 

[BurnItDwn]

I suspect you already know them, but here's Green Carnation'- Light of Day Day of Darkness which is one song at around an hour of length.

 

[repoman0]

These guys are incredible ... I've seen them live at least five times. Lot of people here would like them based on the recommendations I'm seeing.

[DigDog]

[Puffnstuff]
