I'm going to post mine but just loved that you put "Wish You Were Here" up there. When I heard that song for the first time I fell in love. Went out shopping for guitars the next day!

 

[Mindscrew]

I love that song. but I feel its important to add a mix

 

[Helen Wheels]

Has anyone else noticed the trend of feel good self esteem booster pop sings lately? Lately my iPod has been rockin'

Raise Your Glass by P!nk

Firework by Katy Perry

Born This Way by Lady Gaga

All of these songs have a "You're Special" and /or "It's okay to be different" theme. Don't we nontrads need that?

No offense, but you have an aweful taste in music my friend

My current favorites:

Paolo Nutini: Last Request & New Shoes
Adele: Rollin in the deep (if you haven't heard, check it out!)
Basia Bulat: Heart of my own
Ray Lamontagne: You are the best thing
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros: Home

I could keep going, but I'll stop there...

Nothin wrong with throwin in a little Lady Gaga or Pink once in a while.

So, I can NEVER pick a favorite anything (commitment issues) so here are the songs I'm feelin this week :

1) "Superman"- Robin Thicke
2) "Dreamworld"-Robin Thicke (I been listening to a lot of him lately)
3) "Paint it Black"-Rolling Stones
4) "Taper Jean Girl" - Kings of Leon


The list changes every day but I definitely love me some Robin Thicke!

Oh and Adele is amazing.

 

[mauberley]

1. Wish you were here - Pink Floyd

Not just the song; the entire album is full of win. I think I like it more than DSOTM.

 

[Quik]

Oh and Adele is amazing.

She certainly has some pipes, doesn't she.

 

[eablackwell]

10th Man Down- Nightwish
Fly from the Inside- Shinedown
Hold On- Kansas
Back in Black- AC/DC
Sound of Madness- Matchbox 20

 

[FrkyBgStok]

None Shall Pass- Aesop Rock
Quitters- Debaser
Unstoppable- E.S. Posthumus
The Future Soon- Jonathon Coulton
Hate Aside- Sandpeople
Can't Get There From Here- Spose
Vicarious- Tool

Those are the big ones. Pretty much anything by any of those artists. Plus many more.

 

[Torr]

Back in Black- AC/DC

Nice

Never trust a big butt and a smile.

SDN is majorly lacking in hip hop.

Oh, just thought of another song (not hip hop): "Number One" by John Legend.

 

[mauberley]

I'm still trying to figure out which of my favorite songs are least embarrassing to share.

Never trust a big butt and a smile.

she's so flyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[n3xa]

Oh I had that single on tape. Played it over and over all summer long practicing my running man and cabbage patch with all the neighborhood kids. I cried a little when one student mentioned hearing it for the first time on that Scrubs show.

Oh man I can go on for days in this thread, but off the top of my head:

OMG N3XA. You've quickly become one of my favorite people on SDN for that post. Jam on it!? Wowness. Don't know why I'm surprised though, you are from Cali. Where I grew up it was all about oldschool.

Anyway, I'm off for the weekend so wanted to leave my songs of the day!

"Spirit in the Sky"-Norman Greenbaum
moral: you gotta have a friend in Jesus!

"Sunshine of Your Love"- Cream (Live)
moral: guitar solo can end world hunger

"I've Got a Rock 'n' Roll Heart"- Eric Clapton
moral: dude has a fetish for '57 Chevys?

Have a great weekend all you gorgeous non-trads!

Love ALL those songs...

Add some Fleetwood Mac, Eagles, and Led Zeppelin, plus the Floyd listed earlier... Hip Hop belongs on the pre-med allo forum... not the non-trad forum And for when I'm feeling mellow and lovey -- Peter, Paul, and Mary, Simon and Garfunkel, James Taylor, and Jim Croce

 

[0919mmk]

Where's the metal people at? Its my ultimate study music. And I usually listen to whole albums more so than individual songs- that way I can leave it on cruise control and work.

1) Symphony X - Paradise Lost

2) Children of Bodom - Relentless Reckless Forever

3) Hmm...throw in some Winger - Pull

4) Megadeth - Countdown to Extinction (aka countdown to mcat)

5) Lamb of God - Anything cause they are bomb.

I may be somewhat unusual in my choice of study music, but its great - like white noise!!

 

[RFHawks]

The Trooper - Iron Maiden
Anything by Bruce Cockburn or James Taylor.
Chopin
The Berserker
Goatwhore
Old and In the Way
Grisman & Garcia
Bela Fleck

awwwe you're too sweet! 98.1 kiss fm is my go-to station the minute I fly back into SFO/OAK.

 

[MoreCoffee]

The beginning of Eminem-Not Afraid.

Don't Stop Believing

Fleet Foxes- Mykonos

I've got some favorites that I only play in the car with the windows up because they're just too embarrassing.

Ya. Definitely love all of those as well! If Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain" comes on no one is allowed to speak till it's over.

I wish I was more into metal. Makes me feel like I'm not so well rounded as a music lover. I DID try to listen to some Children of Bodom but I got scared . I think I'm a lightweight when it comes to metal.

I miss SF radio soo much. It was something to look forward to on the horrible commute after work. They've got the best commute mixes ever!

I've got some favorites that I only play in the car with the windows up because they're just too embarrassing.

I've got some too . Let's hear some of those!

I'm pretty bummed right now. Got called into work just when I thought I'd FINALLY have a full weekend off.

Oh well, get to post on sdn

My friend is a good friend of the guys in Goatwhore. Not my favorite flavor of music, a lil much for me, but we both like Gojira. \m/ \m/

I'm more of a Sepultura, Corrosion of Conformity, Metallica kind of girl. I have a wide range in what I listen to though.

Here's a random mix for your listening pleasure:

Yeah, my old vocalist got to know Sammy pretty well since we played quite a few shows with them.

Btw: I grew up on Sepultura, Machine Head, Slayer, White Zombie, Pantera, etc. I love all those bands especially their work from the early '90s. I like MH better now though and wish White Zombie was still around.
I love me some Alison Krauss as well.

Definitely. I just watched the last Ozzfest on Netflix, and Rob is just still so kickass (or I guess he was at least at the last ozzfest lol)

Rightpath - awesome taste. You must like cavalera conspiracy. I've been listening to their Blunt Force Trauma record on infinity loop!

 

[Torr]

All the metal totally threw me off. I can't handle anything more intense than Metallica.

Give me some suggestions for not so hardcore metal that wont give me nightmares.


Also, I love the avatar 0919mmk! Charlie is my favorite

"When you say..." was my wedding first dance song *sigh*. Not super original, but hey, I love, love, love it.

Machine Head are local homeboys so you know they have a special place in my heart. This song describes my husband (also a Bay Area musician on a much lesser scale) to a T (well, about 20 years ago- he's a role model husband and daddy now).

Here is some more local scene love- my other favorite local band- unfortunately broke up years ago- not forgotten and definitely missed. Chris Anderson introduced me to my husband in the first place- whoa am I getting all nostalgic or what?

<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/H1APw94Ram0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

And I'm going to throw this link in here for pure randomness and because I'm have no shame in saying I rock this record all old school on the Stanton.

Oh and about the Cavalera Conspiracy.... unless I'm brain farting I think that's the last show I've been to (it was at Slims), and it was a long, long time ago. I almost never see any local or large shows these days.... sad. I like Sepultura better and Soulfly too for that matter. It's the style of the drums, I think... Plus I tend to like slow and heavy crushing rather than speed/thrash... and very very picky about which cookiemonster style vocals I like.

They just broke up too though, like in the last week or so. Sorry to say.

How about Metallica? Honestly, I can't think of any metal band that I listen to that doesn't inspire nightmares. That's kind of what it's about. The darker side of life no one wants to talk about or acknowledge.

Thanks! I love that show...

There's lots of good "non-nightmare" metal, but most of it is from the 80's and early 90's. I am partial to Extreme, Winger, Skid Row, Guns'n'Roses, etc. But like they said, if you like metallica, run with it, cause they are awesome. OH, if you like metallica, try Trivium. They are kind of like a modern version of metallica, in that the lead singer/guitar player worships metallica openly, so I like it- kind of an updated version.

And if you are in to intellectual music, definitely check out DreamTheater and SymphonyX - not nightmare metal, but very interesting, very musical.

Black Keys are awesome, though I am a little less excited about them now that i have to hear them 60 times a day on top40 radio! Still, good choice

That is precisely the reason I don't listen to FM radio -- I let my iPod shuffle feature dictate what I listen to.

I love "Sandman", but that's literally the only Metallica song I know and love. I need to look into their other stuff

I'm seriously gonna try these. Need to fill in the gaps that exist in my iPod.

Almost definitely my all-time favorite Bob Marley song. I just love it.

Oh man - love alice in chains, love qotsa - right on.

I've been listening to Steel Panther all morning while doing confocal microscopy - frikkin genius. Seriously. The guitar playing and vocals are actually really really good, AND they're doing the Spinal Tap thing, which I just think is genius. Satchel used to teach at GIT! Love it.
