Ah man. Always so relevant. Ancient but ever present present.
Listening to this version I think the mastering could be better. The intro is killer and haunting, but the bass is blown out at 1:37. You have to be careful with this song and NOFX always knew that if you listen to the original album version. Its got a point to make and if you take it too lightly you can't make the point. Like I'd really like to hear this without the audience noise and maybe not a full orchestra, just the bass and brass section. The winds and percussion (especially the xylophone) are too light-hearted.
Too much good stuff out there for me to have a favourite, so here's what I'm listening to as I leave this comment.
Is that an all female band? That's sickπ€
I can't help but hear some Gojira/Meshuggah influence, and I'm a big fan of those two bands.
So, that's a solid 9/10 from me
Yep all women. They've been my gateway into the genre. I've not gotten into it much because I like being able to understand vocals with minimal effort, but I feel like the vocalist in Crypta does a pretty good job at being articulate and it's raised my tolerance enough for me to explore some other bands.
Thanks for the post btw, I've been enjoying some new artists and great classics so far :D
Don't know that i have a definitive "favorite", but
Pink Floyd - Time
Genuinely any of the full length songs on the album tho...

This song is fantastic WTH!! This track is so clean, it's crazy!!
11/10. I'm def checking out the whole album
One of my favourites is definitely: Queen - The Show Must Go On
It kinda needs the buildup of the album for the full effect tho
RΓΆyksopp - Eple
Didn't realise this song was older than me till i checkedπ . Sounds like a 2020 song. Way ahead of it's time imo
9/10
This some shit they play in Viking movies when they hoist their battle ship sails, and burst into a song and dance with booze at their behestππ
I'll give 7/10. It's not bad at all
TIL that German electro-medieval is a genre. Reminds me a bit of VΓ€rttinΓ€, which is 100% complimentary.
SONATA ARCTICA - I Have A Right
Because my parents suck, so this is my anthem.
Edit: Disclaimer: I don't listen to much English songs so like... you know... pls don't be like "my tastes suck" because I haven't gotten a chance to really explore.
Btw, Any tips on how to find cool music?
I typically like more punchy rock music, but this one has a strong message and strong MV, so I'll give it a
7/10.
To answer your question, this is wholly dependent on your taste. 'Cool music' is subjective, so i don't want to recommend you anything I listen to. As another comment said, you can look to this thread to see what you may like.
Personally I use Spotify, and I know that the fediverse is generally averse to corporate music streaming platformsβespecially themβbut those guys never fail to recommend me a song i will like. A lot of my playlist is curated from their recommendations, so I'd also say you can start there.
Algorithms will occasionally turn up cool stuff but the best way is chatting with other folks who enjoy music. The algorithm of Spotify or yt music is often an easier place to find more music like what you already know you like. The more stuff you like, the more likely it is you'll find stuff in common with other people and you can ask them for reccomendations based on what you enjoy :)
But just hearing what other people are really into is a great way to broaden your horizons and hear a bunch of different kinds of cool stuff you wouldn't have found otherwise. I sometimes also like to look up the music that folks show in c/unixporn screenshots or that people mention in YouTube videos :) (oh, and sometimes you'll hear something good as part of the music for a video, movie scoring, etc, thats always cool too)
Can't say I have a all-time favourite but my favourite right now is Watch Your Mouth by The Backseat Lovers. I heard it in a cafe yesterday and got hooked on the band.
My favorite song changes on a weekly basis, lol
This is this week's hit:
Hmm. I don't think I've ever tried to decide on a favorite song. I'll have a ponder.
I've been playing this often recently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zY6RbPaTNUc 5MIINUST x Puuluup - (nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (kΓΌll) midagi | Estonia Official Video πͺπͺ
Didn't understand a word, but i liked the song. That chorus is madπ₯
8/10
The one that pops up in my head isΒ https://.youtube.com/watch?v=5C2LJE2SYfE. And i very much like the meaning "buy strawberries instead of war machines". I wish some high ranking israelies would value this song more (i know that the band was at popular there a decade ago)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β
(sorry for over explaining, im just anxious but want to share and dont mean harm)
I believe I would've been able to better value this song had i understood its contentβI believe that's Hebrew? Unable to interpret the lyrics, i unfortunately have to rate this what i would usually rate songs of this flavour:
6/10
(No need to apologise for anything π)
I have a lot of favorites, and here's one of them:
Well that was interesting. Doesn't really match my taste though.
5/10
Rhythm is a dancer.
Something completely different: My favorite of the week
Eden - by Hania Rani
https://tidal.com/browse/track/192326406?u
Debaser - Pixies
You all have a favorite song?! Been listening to a lot of Kings Of Convenience as of late though. Very Peaceful in those rather turbulent times.
L.A. by The Fall
Great song. Could come off as a bit monotonous, but it's still great sonically.
7/10
Animosity by The Warning, they're actually a Mexican rock band! I love their music. It's one of my favorites, but I have too many to count.
I had to check to see if this was an anime OP lol. Fantastic song. I've always liked this style of... I don't know what genre this is, so I'll just say Japanese music.
8/10
Hans gruber and the die hards - we're all gonna die
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mbvWn1EY6g
Motorhead Ace of Spades
Everything i love in a rock and roll song. Fast paced, intense solos and grimey vocals.
8/10. Thoroughly enjoyed
Leprous - The Sky Is Red https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aR0FC3vikF0
