Sounds awesome. I don't think it should be just moderators job to pose questions about music posted. Rather than just posting a link to a song I feel like everyone should have to contribute to the discussion and at the very least explain what song their posting or even describe what is interesting about it. If we can raise the overall post quality and include more discussions then I definitely think we can get official.
Anyways I'll start off.
Crying Lightning is primetime Arctic Monkeys and definitely makes it into my top 5 Arctic Monkeys songs. Love the deep bass, and how they're able to jam out on all their instruments without making it sound overcrowded. Crying Lightning was the most popular song off of Humbug but it topped out at #11 on the charts. Alex Turner really is an awesome singer/songwriter because he knows his voice and can make the lyrics flow very well (also if you're a QOTSA fan, Josh Homme produced Humbug).

first time ive listened to an arctic monkeys song. not my cup of tea, although that guitar solo around 2:30 was pretty sweet. Like what you said, not my cup of tea, but can definitely see
the talent.

here's an awesome song that I found, I actually REALLY like this. alot.

I agree, the lyrics flow really nice, and I like that they're original.
Also like the bass in this song, don't often hear the bass so clear which is something I like alot.

didn't like the first 2 minutes that much because it was kinda repetitive, but the rap part was pretty cool.



Alright guys, I'd like to know what your first experience with music you can remember is!
(not counting lullaby's and those old school songs)


My first experience with music are songs from Sonata Arctica, my sister always listened to metal and when I finally got my own mp3-player I asked her to put some music on, she overloaded it with Sonata Arctica and some other metal bands, the first time I ever listened to it I was completely blown away. I've always had a place in my heart for Sonata Arctica then.



I wonder if you guys have any cool story about your first meeting with music ;p


edit: added the song because I was stupid and forgot to add it.

I have a few. I especially remember listening and dancing to rock music on a tape when i was 4 or something. It would always be the same song over and over again, because at that age you really aren't too interested in trying new stuff.
My first record i remember getting was strauss's walzes, but it could've been vivaldi too. I listened a lot to those, but i also remember getting beethoven's collection of symphonies.
So i walked around listening to that stuff with my freestyle. Made me a bit of an outcast, since my classmates were hiphop guys (even if it was a classical music school).
Then when i was a little older, in the age of mobile phones, i heard rap for the first time. It also happened to be pac so that's cool. Pac is one of the few rappers i still enjoy listening to (but rarely do).
Anywho, here's the pac song.



Also, that arctic monkes song was so-so. I enjoyed it (i enjoy most am songs to a degree), but it was repetitive and i got bored with it.

I remember listening to Hotel California by The Eagles on repeat for hours. I know that whole song by heart and I have a goofy video of me signing it through teamspeak, while my other friend played it through his mic. Good times. I have a little green radio that I played cd's on, I liked a lot of Linkin Park as a wee child and older bands like Kiss and Red Hot Chilli Peppers (still do!)

Tupac's love is well deserved, his lyrics are always meaningful and real. He delivers a message with every song. I honestly don't think this song is as catchy and iconic as his other songs but still good.

Also I'm a fan of Bloc Party which is another Brit band, they have a slower style but when the vocals really gets going I absolutely love it. This song is definitely one of their different and harder songs, I like it though.

that song was pretty cool actually

also I remember one of my childhood friends used to be a big fan of Kiss so we listened to it together a few times, those were some good ol' times.
Haven't seen that friend in 5 years tho.

since i am required to say something: dnb track by Photek, guy makes awesome textures and breaks.

also i've tried to think about why some of the recent EDM, super high production value tracks are way more forgettable to me, even if really like them at first. i started noticing it after i started listening to modern happy hardcore/ UK HC, it seems like a lot of the songs are instantly awesome but die out the more i listen to them, while other songs last for seemingly years before making me bored.

i think the conclusion i have reached is as the amount of effort and tweaking put into them is insane, there is practically nothing in the song that is "questionable" or unclear, like it is very evident what the artist is trying to achieve, since the engineering makes the whole song crystal clear, and it leaves nothing to my interpretation.

in the song i posted above there is stuff that i only noticed like months after i first heard it, and the same happens with a lot of my favourite ambient albums (FSOL - Dead Cities, Boards of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest). those albums are filled with stuff that i am not even sure i like, which makes me more interested in them for some reason.

thoughs i had, no idea if it happens to anyone else. i saw a post by someone (Lazors?) earlier in this thread saying that they prefer songs which have "worse" quality, and i see that a lot of the times probably because of this.
oh yeah
