I’m not a rap fan so I dont know about the first few.
The Coral one is pretty catchy, ill add that to my playlist I think i’ll like it the more I hear it.
The roots one I wanna say Ive heard before, I like it quite a bit. I definitely like the style.
I don’t like that much rap either, just songs I consider good. Especially those annoying songs on the radio that get played 3490834 times a day. Forces me to listen to Q103 haha
Dont get me wrong, theyre good songs. Some of the better from the “Rap” Genre. Just not my style.
I havnt found all these yet but here are my reviews, Weezer, I knew all of them but the “I just threw out the love of my dreams” one, it was decent. The Dave Brubeck one is definitely a good one, i’ll be adding that to my collection. Killer drum solo too very buddy rich-ish.
Some good alice in chains, or mad season. and thats rare enuogh now adays, i bet most of you dont even know who mad season is w/o looking. let alone anything outside of rap/hiphop
I have some of Mad Season’s stuff. I dont think they’re that great.
I have every single music video that Alice in Chains did along with their entire MTV Unplugged performance. Great band, theyre still good with the replacement for Stanley.
System of a Down
“Soil” This song is a bit of a gem. Most of it isnt that good, then it hits the best Guitar/Bass/Drum instrumental Evar! http://youtube.com/watch?v=fxa0BneKsF4 <- Fast forward to 2:10 and CRANK IT
Everlast and Santana
“put your lights on” This song was amazing, but was overshadowed by the Matchbox 20 and santana song smooth http://youtube.com/watch?v=q5a0OAtzrXE
Van Halen
“Eruption” another amazing piece of guitar
Everclear
“Drunk Again” another good drinking song.
Battlescars ; Saw them live in 2002 when they opened for Weezer in Albany. They pretty much sucked, but Battlescars was/is pretty good.
A bunch of years ago, I discovered Ani DiFranco, and while I’m far from the feminist/whatever fanbase, I found myself listening to her “Living In Clip” live album alot, particularly to:
Volcano Girls http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0HjzD_GiaQ Not exactly rare or obscure, but I haven’t heard it much since the late 90’s. Plus, I saw the CD in the rack while I was perusing it tonight, so I figured I’d put it in.
Coward
I Don’t Care - These guys are so obscure that I couldn’t find anything on them. They were popular in the late 90’s ('97 I think), and they actually played at Brownie’s in Herkimer that summer. Good stuff though, trust me… LOL
Jeez… Thanks for making this thread… It’s only 12:30 and I have to be up for work at 6… LOL! I’ll post some more tomorrow when I get to work and look over the playlist there.
Maf, AIC is my fav, i have every single song plus the video to them, unplugged shows, u name it i have it. moore theater stuff… it never ends. all 12.7Gigs of it! < all AIC related
My favorites are “Promo Only” CD’s, and compilations with B-sides & “alternate” versions… Not necessarily remixes, but just different versions of regular songs…
I really like Acoustic versions of mainstream songs, too, since they’re not played on the radio 900 times a day…
Cake
“Rock and Roll Lifestyle” I had never heard this until this year, I thought it was a new one but in fact its one of their early ones: http://youtube.com/watch?v=ILRpRv57H0g
how’s most of this stuff supposed to be rare?
obscure is more like it, and most of it isn’t even that.
i thought people are gonna post a bunch of foreign music or something.
