Data Rate The Above Song, Then Post Another

[KingofPhantoms]

8/10

A bit conflicted on the song's theme, but overall it's a nice song.

 

[Plunder]

Alright, it's way too repetitive though. Sounded like a 1 minute BGM on repeat 4 times. I guess in context it has some more value.
6/10

Happy Hallows' Eve

 

[Lily♫]

8/10 its spooky

 

[Plunder]

8/10

Ah man I love Harry Einfeld, especially the teenager skits

Here's a really iconic song that people know, but probably have no idea who the artists or song name were

 

[Spak]

Well then it's clear you didn't listen all the way through. Besides..... a poem with a beat behind it is called "rap" or "hip-hop", which is a pretty massive genre of "music" :/

I did. Still thought it was a good message, but I would have liked it more on a piece of paper than playing in my ear; I would've ended sooner.

Anyways, you were right about me recognizing the song and not knowing the band or song name. It's pretty good. 8/10.

Continuing on the spooky theme:

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

7/10

Not bad I guess

 

[Substitution]

8/10

Now for a new Halloween classic:

 

[Kurri ★]

2/10 It's bad... but I have a feeling it's supposed to be bad. I do hope it's supposed to be bad.

 

[Substitution]

5/10
+3 points because I found it hilarious.

2/10 It's bad... but I have a feeling it's supposed to be bad. I do hope it's supposed to be bad.

'Tis not. All of it is 100% incompetence, and I love it so.

 

[Plunder]

8.5/10

Le Classique


Here is another song that people know, but usually they have no idea what it was called or who sung it

 

[Giga Kaiju]

5/10.

Alright song. Not my cup of tea, but don't overly dislike it.

Anyway, with HALLOWEEN on the day, and the SPOOKS everywhere, I figured to share this track here. Kind of cliche by Internet standards with the song itself, but IMO, nicely fitting for today:

"IN THIS TOWN WE CALL HOME, EVERYONE HAIL TO THE PUMPKIN SONG..."

 

[Kneutronic]

2.5/10

...Uh... I'm gonna walk away now...
(PS: That is not my favorite style of music...)

Here's an interesting mashup.

 

[Lily♫]

I love stupid mashups, and when they sound good it's a bonus. 9/10.

Anyways, I'm too lazy to find Halloween music.

 

[Plunder]

7.5/10 good stuff


So, I found out about Royksopp from a commercial in the 90s. I strongly recommend checking out all their albums, they are all actually worth the money (unlike most artists these days). It's sad that more people don't know about them, but at least their music is used a lot in commercials and skate videos. I'll be posting some of my favorites from them until I leave tonight.

Also....

Spoiler

BOO!

 

[Giga Kaiju]

6/10.

Kind of interesting track. I've never heard of them in commercials but I can see why they'd be. For what genre-approach they are, they're alright.

Anyway, I'll leave this track here:

Another SPOOKY yet classical even to this day. Aside from the song, the video itself's effects are great. Truly one of the best music videos of its type.

Happy Halloween Everyone.

 

[Plunder]

9/10

I mean it's a classic, c'mon now

Here's another Royksopp song I know Kurri ★ would probably dig this band

 

[Kurri ★]

8/10

Is this the same Royksopp that did Poor Leno?

 

[Plunder]

8/10

Is this the same Royksopp that did Poor Leno?

8.5/10

YASSSSS! I was going to post that one next. That was the 2nd song of theirs I heard, odd start but I love the breakdown and jungle-ish chill beat

I'll take a break from Royksopp, but before I leave for the night....here's another popular track that people don't know the name/artist

 

[swampthingcs]

10/10
Ayy, there's my favorite electronic song of all time.
and i wasnt the first one to post it...
here's another top 5

 

[Kurri ★]

6/10 I guess, not really a fan of Moombahton.

 

[Omar_25]

7/10

 

[KingofPhantoms]

9/10

I have no personal comments on it other than that I liked it.

 

[Plunder]

8/10 So simple but it's so iconic now

like this one

 

[Rashyboy05]

10/10
Song sounds too beautiful

 

[Plunder]

Because I don't want to offend the Space Jam gods or their devout followers I will give a 10/10

I often wonder what terrific music is out there hiding (or has been hidden in the past), still having not gotten the publicity or lucky break to expose it to the masses. There is just too much music...and unfortunately these days a lot of crap steals the spot light instead.

 

[Deleted member]

10/10
That song gives me nostalgia of back when i used to watch flash movies on newgrounds like Rise of the Mushroom Kingdom.

 

[Milo AKA Papa]

7/10
It was pleasant to listen to for me, and reminded of another piece of music that I can't quite put my finger on. It also seemed like it was missing something though, not really sure what :L

 

[Spak]

9/10 - I'd never heard this band before, but I NEED to look more into them now. Thank you for posting this!

Ocarina Stealer and I are putting together the 100-song showdown, and are currently accepting song requests. You can submit entries right now (until we get enough songs to start), rate music (starting when we have the 100 songs, then songs will be grouped into 5 per round), and do basically what you do here, but in an organized fashion to determine a winner of 100 of people's favorites. If you wish to participate, check the OP for rules and regulations, then PM us with the songs.

Please note that it has been asked of us to keep the lyrics clean (in order to follow SWF regulations), so if you have a song that you REALLY want to post but it has profane language, please use the radio edit (radio edit = a clean version, I'm not sure if the youngsters know what a radio edit is because radio is sorta dying (18-year-old using the word youngster lol)).

 

[Substitution]

I don't know why, but I've never listened to that much Foo Fighters. Which I do gotta get around to since I do think they're a great band with a lot of talented musicians.

Nonetheless, 9/10

That guitar riff is excellent, the rest of the song kind of lost me in a couple of places

[Chapter Serf]

A good, classic beat that you don't hear these days.
8.5/10

We All Become from Transistor:

Spoiler: Lyrics

When you speak I hear silence
Every word a defiance
I can hear, oh I can hear

Think I'll go where it suits me
Movin' out to the Country
With everyone, oh everyone
Before we all become one

You tell yourself that you're lucky
Lyin' down never struck me
As something fun, oh any fun

Stabbing pain for the feelin'
Now your wounds never healin'
'Til you're numb, oh it's begun
Before we all become one! Oh!

Oh we all, we all become one
Oh we all, we all become one
Oh we all, we all become one
Oh we all, we all become one

Stop grievin', start leavin'
Before we all become one
Run!

Oh, we all, we all become...

 

[Plunder]

7.5/10

Lovely voice and melody, unfortunately a DnB or breakbeat can sometimes limit a songs potential IMO. Becomes a bit too repetitive and aggressive so it loses some authentic emotion (I think it might have sounded better with no beat).



This song has become way overused in TV these days, it's pretty chill to listen to on repeat though.

 

[Giga Kaiju]

6/10.

Very cool even if overused. Fitting for promos and such.

Anyway, I'll leave this song here after spooky times went by.

 

[Plunder]

4/10

 

[KingofPhantoms]

9/10

I feel like I can relate to the subject of time here, and the song itself is really nice. The singer has an outstanding voice.

 

[Giga Kaiju]

4/10.

Not my cup of tea, but it is quite calm and relaxing for what it is. The lyrics are also curious, I'll give it that.

Anyway, I'll leave this track here:

 

[swampthingcs]

4/10 not my kinda stuff yknow
here's something a lot different from my usual posts

 

[Spak]

7.5/10 - Not too bad, the odd timing kinda grew on me after a while and the instrumentation fits well with the feel of the song.

 

[Giga Kaiju]

6.5/10

Nice track. I like the instrumentals in it. Not much of a fan of them but still alright.

Alright, I'll leave this track here.

 

[Kaladin]

4/10. Did not enjoy. My eardrums may be ruptured. Really though, I wasn't impressed by the lyrics nor the singing, and the instruments, while nice, couldn't save it.
