I've been listening to nothing but Pet Sounds since Friday.
I'm blown away. I've never heard anything quite like this. There is something really special about this album.
I can't recommend it enough to anyone that hasn't heard it. Go buy it. It's dirt cheap on the iTunes store.
Now there's an album I've been meaning to listen to for ages. I believe my Dad has it on his computer, so I might get it from him. I've heard tons of acclaim about it, so I guess I really should give it a try.

If that song doesn't motivate you to listen to the whole album then nothing will.
Danish xfactor this year has started really strong. Ive never actually been genuinely impressed by talent shows like that. But people this season are.... rather unique.
This is the group performing the song 'Somersault' by a danish band.
Im a bit ashamed to say that I like the xfactor version more :3 yea shame on me for liking a cover. But I really liked this group.

I deny that it's a good song. It bores me shitless if I'm honest. But to be fair to the composer or composers, that is partly due to the fact that I am sick to the bone of hearing it and about it.

I don't think that Stairway to Heaven is the greatest Zep song. Covers can never be the best song from the artist. That just happened to be the song I was listening to at the time. Nor do I consider it to be an anthem/masterpiece.
This song is just fabulous.

Fair point, but in my experience I've founds bands through them covering a particular song and it's never their best song. Topics like this are all subjective anyways.
And before anybody mentions cover bands, they don't count.

Good man, Holy Fuck is one of my favouite newer groups out there. They do fantastic things, those guys. If you like that you should check out their second album, LP. It's a near perfect album.
Trumped by some of the songs from The Liberty of Norton Folgate, but that's a damn good example.
Speaking of The Liberty of Norton Folgate:
I also feel like I should mention that I visited Norton Folgate while in England. I have a few photos somewhere of #1 Norton Folgate that I should dig up.
First post with max rep, thought I'd put one of the best songs ever. Gettin' me into the warm weather mood.
I know no one will, but I seriously think everyone should give this one a listen. Especially if you like ska/music with a brass section. And I know a few of you fuckers do.
The Magic Band are still touring. I would kill to see them, especially Denny Walley.

Apart from the hilarious trombone slides, I would consider that ska piece inferior to Prince Buster's stuff. But that's because it's third-wave ska which really only resembles the original (and undebatebly the best) form of ska in its accented off-beats and use of wind instruments.
I desire that LP.
