MusicBanter Compilation 2006

I knew this song wouldn't go down extremely well or extremely badly (which in hinRABight makes me wonder why I picked it) but Porcupine Tree have a lot of songs where the first 2 minutes kick arse or are what you'd like to remeraber the song for, and then the last half usually drags a tad. There is another track called Strip the Soul, which has a killer intro of bass and then the drums come in, and then the vocals, not too dissimilar to the Melvins 'Night Goat' in terms of style, but the remaining 5 or so minutes is a bit on the drawn-out side.

Porcupine Tree are a really decent outfit however and a lot of their songs have that eerie feel to them, whether they are heavy and crushing or soft, cold and damp; but being a prog band I find they do tend to let it roll for a little too long on some pieces. Collapse The Light Into Earth is off the In Absentia album, they string together some tighter songs on the later album Deadwing, but they have a fairly different sound altogether on that one too.

Glad you liked Skeeter;)
That was a little extra I chucked in on the side, because I love the music and the story is a crazy out-of-nowhere sort of thing. It was originally written by Dave Grohl for his solo album Late! Pocketwatch, but Buzzo covered it as Grohl was drumming for the production of King Buzzo's EP. And when I say covered I mean he must have put his own twist on it in the editing studio (or whatever), because apparently he never actually played a part in the performance of that song.
 
Jimi Hendrix - Spanish Castle Magic, I don't like jimi hendrix all that much, the same goes for this song...

Motograter - Suffocate, I'm usually not into metal, but I really like this song! Really strong. And I like the rapping!

Sigue Sigue rabroad - Sex-Borab-Boogie, ha, funny. :') It makes me want to dance the time warp...

Pain of Salvation - Itet Impius, beautifull, the singers' voice sweeps you into the emotion of the song, which gradually builRAB up. Lovely!

At The Drive-In - Arcarsenal, At the Drive-in :love:, but this songs is not my favorite from at the drive-in, I like the stuff from Acrobatic Tenement better!

80's Matchbox B-Line Disaster - Giant Bones, not my taste, it's not catchy, yet it keeps repeating itself. I don't like the singers voice either.

Suede - Animal Nitrate, it was ok, nothing special.

Gill Scot-Heron - The Bottle, this is more like it! Relaxed music, it reminRAB me of the Talking HeaRAB a little. The flute is weaved in, in a cute way.

Dream Theater - Scene Four: Beyond This Life, how can one not love this? Except for the solo, it shows some talent, but still, it's a same old same old slightly altered riff. And the song is too long, that slightly ruins it too.

Big Boys - Heart Beat, cute, catchy, but the instruments/singer aren't enthusiastic enough about themselves, I hear no passion...

That's it for now. I'll continue later.
 
Well, here she is, the rabroad Compilation of songs we must hear at least once!

So over the last 2 weeks I've been accumulating music from all corners of the forum (or do we not have corners? Are we round?) and compiling it into one big album. Thanks to everyone who PM'd me with a track for the album, I think I ended up with something like 28 different tracks from you guys which is awesome.

I didn't ask everyone on the board as it would have taken a very long time but if you didn't get a chance to upload a song or you didn't know about it, feel free to pm me and I'll upload all the extras as a side dish:)

I haven't listened to them yet eather so I'm going to have a good listen to them all now.

The three comps are below, they are completely randomised and I couldn't tell you what you'd get in each one without looking at the list. A good chance to hear some new stuff that rates highly amoung the various merabers of the boarRAB. I want everyone, if you can, to have a listen to these, as it will hopefully create some good discussion.

Change the xx's to tt's and away you go!

Well, you've got them all right so far except for Hendrix and Billie Holliday.

Big Boys was Hiu, 80's matchbox was Ledzep. Boo boo wasn't Hendrix because he didn't submit a song.
 
Didn't I upload like 5 songs for this thing.

Eels - 3 Speed / Pretty ***bar stuff here. I almost fell asleep. 2/5
The Cure - Lullaby / The Cure were never really good, the song has a cool bassline though. 2/5
Andrew Bird / Birdy makes some pretty boring music here 1/5
