Global PokédeX Plus Forums _ Music and Entertainment _ Crowning Music of Awesome

Posted by: Lord Raven Jan 9 2010, 09:26 PM

So in an attempt to possibly stir up activity here on the music section and get closer to my fellow member, I really want to hear GTS+; what are the crowning musics of awesome, in your opinion? Just post the song and MUCH preferably a link to the song itself. I'll post my own in this post and continuously edit to update stuff I consider to be just awesome. This will help serve in not only increasing my personal repertoire of music, but also to increase yours based upon everyone's input here. After, how would you be able to stand music if you can't mix things up every so often?

The idea was inspired by a tvtropes article, but frankly I found it all to be too subjective there. Not that it won't be here, but I want to listen to some new music that could just be considered awesome, if you know what I'm saying. Furthermore, don't just list EVERY good song you think exists -- I think a LOT of songs are "good" but I want to know just what's "awesome". Believe me, I almost fell into that very trap posting here!

I just want this to be different than every other thread, and differentiate it from a "list of favorite music" thread if that makes sense. If it ends up diverging into that -- then I'll simply unpin this thread.


I'll sort mine by general genre, but I'll update ferociously as I think of more stuff that I simple adore musically.

Six awesome epic songs, in my opinion anyway.

Posted by: Lucian Jan 13 2010, 02:44 PM

Aqueous Transmission by Incubus. Not exactly one of my personal favorite songs, but it stirs up lots of emotion- either that or calms it. Usually it's a very calming song for me.

And also quite a few songs by Angels & Airwaves. I haven't listened to them lately, but their music was intended for a spacey, universe type feel and it accomplished just that. (Or, at least, their earlier music. I-Empire album I believe)
One song I'd suggest from them would be "Everything's Magic". It has an upbeat sound and it's really inspirational.
Also the song "A little's enough". I believe it's talking about the second coming of Christ or something, but also talking about sharing that experience with a lover... or I don't know, but I feel strongly about this song and I even sang it to my girlfriend once and it made her cry ;A; but yes, these are just a few of my suggestions...

I'm not entirely sure these will fit your music tastes, but it doesn't hurt to try. I might update later with more songs as I find them again, but this is what came to mind at the moment...

Posted by: Lord Raven Jan 13 2010, 03:56 PM

yeah, i hate angels and airwaves but the point of this topic is that you're not trying to appeal to my own music tastes or anyone else's, either. in fact, i think i'd prefer you post stuff like angels and airwaves even if i think they're shit because at least i know you're posting stuff you genuinely like and not trying to format your post to how i'd like it.

Posted by: Lucian Jan 13 2010, 05:20 PM

Ah, then that's good! Haha, and I understand that much. The singer's voice is one of those "acquired taste" sort of things... at least in my opinion.

Some more good music I personally love would be anything by Imogen Heap (or her band "Frou Frou")
She has a sort of delicate voice that I'm not entirely sure many would like, and her songs are sort of strange (along with the music videos) but she has some really great songs...
Some I would suggest would be "Must be dreaming" and "breathe in" by Frou Frou (her old band)
and some of her solo songs (just Imogen Heap herself) would be "Headlock", "hide and seek", and lastly "speeding cars"
Some of her songs are inspiring, some are... a bit vague, and some are downright creepy, but regardless they sound pretty nice (at least in my opinion)

Another notable thing is she did a nice cover of the song "Hallelujah"

Six awesome epic songs, in my opinion anyway.


Rime of The Ancient Mariner by Iron Maiden is my favorite Iron Maiden song, along with Wrathchild.

Hmm...i want to post songs on here, but theres too many epic ones, and thinking of that just unmotivates me..lol..too lazy..BUT
i will post this..


alright everyone, prepare for a pretty long song..probably not the longest song you have ever heard, but how does 42 minutes and 4 seconds sound?
alright:)
this song is called Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence by Dream Theater, but the song itself it chopped down into 8 chapters.
here ya go (i hope the poster after me actually listens to it)

EDIT: damn jewtube didnt have all 8 chapters..not even one actually, but i found it live:)

Thanks for reminding me that they're still sell outs.

Posted by: Lord Raven Jan 18 2010, 07:16 PM

why the fuck does it matter if a band sells out? unless their sound starts to outright suck (which metallica's didn't until st anger) it really shouldn't matter at all considering i don't give a shit what a band stands for while i listen to their music.

Lol you sure do cuss alot. And well, it matters to me, maybe not to you, then again, you wouldn't understand, so please, don't try to understand, because you won't.



Some more music:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-EIDTPg9xs (Amazing performance by Gus G, as always happy.gif )
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WNixdeYSiI (This is my favorite song overall, this song changed me and inspired me to play guitar, bass and drums, back when i was 10. love this song)

Posted by: Lord Raven Jan 18 2010, 08:42 PM

i don't think your saying "you wouldn't understand" will ever help me understand, at all. it's at least worth a shot, after all, especially considering my intellectual capacity is above that of a turd.

also, i have a mars volta song on my itunes that's 31 minutes. 40+ is ridiculous... but oh well, i'm not a metalhead anymore.

Mostly agreeable music:

The Beast And The Harlot - Avenged Sevenfold

Posted by: ShiroYume Aug 26 2010, 03:23 PM

My favourite music seems to differ pretty strongly from everyone else's, but never mind.

Idina Menzel is probably one of my favourite artists; she has a great voice and is pretty famous for playing Elphaba Thropp ('The Wicked Witch of the West') in the musical Wicked. She has a really amazing voice. And I'm absolutely obsessed with Wicked itself; it's a really amazing musical.

I like several other artists, but generally only a few of their songs:
Linkin Park: Numb, Breaking the Habit, New Divide (<- That one's awesome)
Evanescence: Haunted, Hello, My Immortal...
Barlowgirl: Never Alone
Mirah: Bones and Skin
Sum 41: Pieces

Other than that, I really enjoy movie/anime/video game soundtracks, most notably probably 'Lion King', 'Digimon Frontier' (don't laugh, those songs are pretty great), and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon EoT/D/S ('Sacrifice', or some of the fanmade remixes)

I'm really partial to sadder or more emotional songs, but not necessarily romantic ones. My tastes are pretty random...

Rammstein-Mein Teil

I just.. Connected with this song. I think the lyrics are beautiful, as they talk about some sort of faith, a belief. And it feels like a true prayer, but then not a religious one. It's not directed at a God or anything..
I simply love it. <3

Ah man. There's a lot I'd love to post. Some of my favorite bands:

The Who:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enMdm46Hmx4
Really, this whole album is positively brilliant.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoRb8hxwluE
Absolutely wicked bass/drum performance.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IN6ZpEpVU18
The Who were one of the greatest all-time bands when performing live...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5BUQzN8pl4



Aside from the obvious of Queen's (Bohemian Rhapsody. anyone?) some very underrated gems:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZjjsrn9FY4 -
Intense. Written by Brian May.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7_2Vg2PZ2Y
Deeply moving. Written by May.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BdFUrCwhqc
I consider this to be Freddie's "Crowning Moment Of Awesome" - recorded as he was deep in the clutches of AIDS related illnesses, in severe pain, yet he threw his all into the vocals of this song. Written by May.

Some live Queen. Rivaled only by The Who, live:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XahhAkTtlo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XK7c3Jtb2-4 (My personal favorite version of this song!)


And what may be Queen's ultimate Crowning Moment of Awesome:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LncAQR47eZo

Disraeli Gears was arguably the band's Crowning Moment of Awesome. Here are some bits of it:

Horrendously underrated and under-listened band where the great Paul Rodgers (Bad Company) got his start.

"painkiller" and "touch of evil", both by judas priest.

the former is pretty much the definition of metal, latter is just really epic-sounding. and when i say epic i don't just mean just "cool" in the way these crazy internet-types are using it, i mean actually epic, like lord of the rings-kind of epic.

Posted by: Mercenary Raven Feb 2 2011, 01:56 PM

atm all i've been doing was video game music, so I'll post a couple on my youtube playlist.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duuec5Ybtps
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v4EX0rO-xM, made a million times sadder when you realize that the song title translates to "Isn't it Beautiful?" and the lyrics basically translate to the plot of the game
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oySPPeSL-a0 doing a phenomenal job of representing the intensity of the series. If you watch the opening credits, it does a great job of representing the rivalry between Kazuma and Ryuho. The lyrics pretty much do a great job of representing their rivalry too
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8jcJS3Zwnk, THE song that represents the game. It's not intense, but it's melodic and it fits. Showing that other tales series' battle themes would not fit at all in this game.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQzgI6xJEH0, I really need to play this game
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzr1xxqhj9I was so much fun, takes place during the most epic boss fights in the game (the exhibition match and Abyssion)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUky9oI93vI is a rehash from OoT i know, but it's so soothing to listen to
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXhoa62K7Vw is so beautiful... does remind me of snow
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSdY8rrwafU is one of the greatest final boss themes ever.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wk9fbj4q-i0 is another final boss theme from the same game. Really phenomenal game
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rED6ulas-hA
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aM9OfRWbgJo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgY4K5q66SU... while I agree FF13 had many flaws (it was a great game), this theme played before the climax of the game and it had an extremely powerful feeling attached to it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwzianvb7CI is one of those songs that makes me want to work past the repetitive gameplay...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QujpJhgRD04 is one of the best town themes EVER
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUZhE7A3BMU really feels like a sorrowful song (towards the middle), but it's powerful about it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JI6AvgyqJ0 is so awesome... it starts out with something to do with Raiden's sorrow then goes into his kickass mode.

Not particularly a fan of C&C but I do like "A Favor House Atlantic", "Time Consumer", and "Ten Speed" a shitload.

Posted by: Dragonsteps Mar 20 2011, 04:07 AM

Hey anyone still here? Oh well, anyway...
There's a lot of songs I like (seriously, I read this tread for a bit and remembered I started out 5 years ago with Breaking the Habit from Linkin Park). I listen to almost anything accept rap and hiphop, things like that.
Basically anything from Breaking Benjamin, Rise Against and some from Story of the Year.

This is realy one of my favorites, it's the Main Theme of the series Band of Brothers by Michael Kamen
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjQWBzGRCKU
I know, I know, it's completely difrent from BB and RA, but it's still a fav.

This one is really special to me, in November I lost my dad, during his final week(s) I continuosly played this song as I walked with my dog:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpsDsS3KFN8
Why? Look at the lyrics, you'll know what I mean...

frist, these songs from JANPA.
fans call these songs are "Story Music."
Every album is "one horizon".


I'm very like this band.

aw yes! i love recommending music to people! a few of my favorite songs right now:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8a4iiOnzsc
you might have heard this one on an advert. it's really freaking awesome.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIIxlgcuQRU
this song is so simple yet so meaningful.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwU3PxtHeFE
i really love his voice and the lyrics are great.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f85BH0qg1Aw
the real name of this band isn't exactly appropriate for this site! i really like this song & the band.

also, a few great albums: grow up and blow away - metric, born to die - lana del rey, discovery - daft punk, youth novels - lykke li, wounded rhymes - lykke li, grand - matt & kim, people's instinctive travels and the paths of rhythm - a tribe called quest (this last one is a rap group but please, please, please don't let that put you off!)

the twilight soundtracks are really good too, even if you dislike the series. my music taste is pretty varied so i doubt people will like everything i've posted here, but it's worth a try! sorry for getting a little carried away haha (although i did manage to restrain myself enough to not recommend glee covers).
