Top five, for now.

Your lists are ever soooo boring.

Suit yourself, gobshite. Have you heard Death Vessel?

Wasn't talking to you idiot.And,yes,i've heard all that stuff and it still remains a boring list.What are you gonna do about that?EHHHH????

Stevie Wonder 's "Never Dreamed You'd Leave In Summer"

Why, I'll.. I'll..

10? why "!0"?

fucksacks, i am not going to count to 10 i am not even going to try to sort out this over that over the other, as if this was my full time job. fuck that! however i'll throw in some names. not sure if my definition of "beautiful" leans towards the melancholy, and i favor strongly female vocalists ("songs" are "sung", right?), but anyway, fuck.

randomly:
lour reed- walk on the wild side
beatles/siouxie & the banshees - little prudence
king crimson - starless & bible black
nico - chelsea girl
roxy music - avalon, more than this
beth orton - stolen car (surely lowbrow: suck me)
nick drake - pink moon
mazzy starr- fade into you
blonde redhead - elephant woman

hm maybe my definition of beauty is "sentimentally horny". well then, eat shit motherfuckers. :P

You big softy!!

The second track from William Basinski's Disintegration Loops is probably the most hauntingly beautiful thing I've ever heard. Evah.

Sonic Youth- I Love You Golden Blue
Daniel Johnston- Some Things Last A Long Time
Beck- Blackhole
Van Morrison- Crazy Love
Yo La Tengo- Deeper Into Movies
Cat Power- I Dont Blame You
Robert Johnson- Love In Vain
White Stripes- Sister, Do You Know My Name?
Flaming Lips- Superhumans
Animal Collective- Winter's Love

........
 

How about some romantic lieder? Schumann's Dichterliebe comes to mind. Or the Mörike-Lieder of Hugo Wolf.

Or some Gershwin maybe. It's in English.

Or on a different tangent, some Beach Boys. I like You Still Believe In Me from Pet Sounds.

He was talking to me.

My taste in music is just way too typical for him.

I'm just way too unhip and into old stuff, just look at my last FM

 

I do agree it is a problem of mine, BUT there are reasons the bands I love are popular.

I think "Sometimes" is better for this topic.

Not that you actually ARE, but don't be ashamed for liking popular stuff. I can't stand people who ONLY like things that are either not popular or are unheard of. They are trying so hard not to be categorized and put into a group, but at the same time, that's exactly what they are doing to themselves.

Sorry, this is not the right thread to post this in. Continue on with your list making activities, and all appy-polly-ologies for the distubance.

Here's some, I'm in a brainfreeze

Boris / Sunn0))) - The Sinking Belle
Sonic Youth - Wish Fulfillment alt. version
Sonic Youth - Diamond Sea
Aphex Twin - Kladfvgbung Micshk
Jim O'Rourke - Halfway to a threeway (minus the lyrical aspect)

here are five off the top of my head

white stripes- cold, cold night
velvet underground- venus in furs
john lennon- imagine (it's a song close to my heart)
neutral milk hotel- in the aeroplane over the sea
and to repeat joel, winter's love by animal collective


and right around 5:04 into teenage riot is a beautiful moment. but that's another thread.

the split hernia expieriance - momma don't drink that puss

sandy and the vag - tampon mold
