I don't know if these count, from the original subject specified, but some of my favorite beats are...
(I don't necessarily like all of these songs)
White Stripes - Various songs
Tool - 46&2
Pink Floyd - Run Like Hell
Led Zeppelin - Trampled Under Foot
Doors - Touch Me
Tom Petty - Built to Last (Liquid Drums)
Queen - Another One Bites the Dust (Bass)
Queen / David Bowie - Under Pressure
Genesis - Land of Confusion (mostly the opener & middle part)
A bunch of techno & trance (widely DJ mixes) that I also like, I usually listen to it while driving around.

I was browsing through the forum, when I found this...
Seeing those kittnes sing "immigrant song" was neat.I was watching that, it's pretty cool how they have their heads bobbing to Page's guitar. Even though there isn't much scenario to the clip, with it mostly being the two kittens on the ship. My favorite part is where the kitten quotes "Our only goal will be the western shore."

Yeah I know, I bumped an old thread

I don't really remember ever posting this thread LOL ::
I missed that show, but heard about it.
I would've of doubted that it was about drugs, seeing as how a good number of songs were related to that, when they weren't about sex or R&R excess.
Thanks for bringing it to my attention though, I guess I have a forgetful memory.

Well, it looks like Adam Sandler was forgotten!
My favorite is Steve Polychronopolous, the video is even funnier than the song, but I haven't seen it in almost 10 years now.
-
Stanley Kubrick is the best. I wouldn't say A Clockwork Orange is a drug movie but I wouldn't say it is not a drug movie either. Saw it both ways. Just makes it alot funnier when he says "The old in and out love"
There's the part where Alex is subjected to an injection & forced to watch video clips while he is hallucinating. And as Tenacious previously posted, there's the bit where they mixed milk & drugs into solids & made them available to anybody.

Hey Tara
I checked out those songs on that site, & they do indeed sound reminiscent of Incubus, with a slightly more dynamic sound. That?s interesting how they wrote a song in your honor, I may have to check out their album sometime soon.

no problem, I still don't really know what the rankings mean, or if there's a significance in it, I haven't even checked my own to see what I am.

Is this song a metaphor for dying from drugs or being an inhabitant in a clostrophobic area, any opinions or thoughts of the song? It's the following track to Fade To Black on the 20 year old Ride the Lightning album.
-
My favorite recording isn't up there, which is Live in Kansas City. For studio albums, I would go with Velvet Underground & Nico. It has some of my favorite songs like Heroin, I'm waiting for the man, & Black Angel Death Song.
-
It mentions something about a 103rd Street Gospel & a few others, this song has been covered many times.
-
There's a scandanavian DJ named Darude who's first single was called Sandstorm in 2001. That might be it, otherwise there's no searchable information on that quote.
-
Led Zeppelin IV, from what's listed. It's not my favorite album by them, nor do I feel it's their greatest. Darkside of the Moon is another good choice, but the overall greatness of Pink Floyd was expressed throughout all of their set, which makes it hard to select a certain album to represent them. The greatest album of all time, IMO was Revolver, which wasn't listed.
-
Pink Floyd - In the Flesh pt 2 / Waiting for the Worms / The Trial (I had CrAzY experiences, where this section of the Wall gave me tickles.
A lot of Weird Al Yankovich songs are funny, especially Smells Like Nirvana, Amish Paradise, Which Backstreet Boy is Gay, & Couch Potato.
Geri Halwell - Look at Me (uh how 'bout no, your not as hot as you think)
--edit---
Crazy Don just reminded me of another one I forgot, Ray Stevens. My favorites are The Pirate Song, Mississippi Squirel Revival, & Osama Yo' Momma
-
Thanks, but in truth The Sweet were not that special. They were very big here in the early 70s, and were a 'glam rock' band..you know..huge silver stack heel boots, silver spandex cat-suits and lots of make-up. They had a string of top ten UK hits, but they are more remembered for how they looked than how they sounded!
I have Desolation Boulevard, I still listen to it to this day, they're a good band, a blend of Pop & Rock, but not annoying like some others in that category. I never really bothered with the image of rock stars, if they have the right sound, then it's worth the listen. My favorite tracks are Set Me Free, AC/DC/, & Fox on the Run.

I agree with most of what was listed
Mine would be in alphabetical order (most of them, that I think are the best / most significant to R&R, not necessarily my 10 favorites. I know I'm missing a few)
The Beatles
Black Sabbath
The Doors
The Eagles
Jimi Hendrix
Led Zeppelin
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Pink Floyd
Rolling Stones
The Who

What I mean is, the specific style of music achieves it's dignity & is thought out be a select many, but isn't the center of the musical attention.
-
Led Zeppelin never hit #1 on the Hot 100, very few rock bands have, & most were ballads during the 80's.
This was their 10 biggest charting songs on the Pop Singles Charts
Whole Lotta Love | No. 4 | 1970
Black Dog | No. 15 | 1972
Immigrant Song | No. 16 | 1971
D'yer Mak'er | No. 20 | 1973
Fool In The Rain | No. 21 | 1980
Trampled Under Foot | No. 38 | 1975
Rock And Roll | No. 47 | 1972
Over The Hills And Far Away | No. 51 | 1973
Living Loving Maid (She's Just A Woman) | No. 65 | 1970
Good Times Bad Times | No. 80 | 1969

I would've voted Trainspotting, but it wasn't on that list.
I went with The Wall by Pink Floyd, Geldof's performance trips me out even when I'm sober. Another classic I found to be drug-related was Clockwork Orange, most say different, but see for yourself LOL
-
I didn't say (or mean in words) that I like them, just pinpointing a few examples of current day folkish rock, it's all gone downhill over the past 10 years or so. The entire idea behind the genre has maintained itself, but isn't always the idea behind "Mainstream"
-
Here's one, What was the only Hard Rock / Metal song to hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop & rock charts?
-
I know this is an old thread, but do they have Pink Floyd there, it's kind of strange, a nice selection though, I found a cool Zeppelin one I'm using.
-
In Heaven, can you give me an idea on what you categorize as Mainstream? (Do you determine it in Radio Airplay, Record Sales, Concert Venues, etc) Tom Petty, yes I agree is mainstream, but still very significant, even as a focal point for his obvious influence Bob Dylan. Modern day folk singers, such as Petty, Costello, and even current singers like Dave Matthews & John Mayer aren't as widespread as they used to be. Anymore it seems that if the mainstream is comprised of such artists, is hard obtained & rare.

Whenever I log onto here, I like to post as much as possible. I try to leave a significant comment, and make it a sentence or a paragraph long. Short responses are a common trend on forums, but not really that big of a deal either. The rankings don't matter to me & I could care less what any body else's is, I'm sure others feel the same way.
