This topic is mainly for fun but will also serve as a place for people to suggest a wide variety of music to other people. Hopefully this thread can be used to find some trully brilliant music that has as of yet been undiscovered by many people. Unfortunatly my list is going to be pretty well heard of (at least most of it), but I hope other people will be more interesting with their suggestions. In no particular order, here are some of my suggestions:

- Who wants to live forever (Queen)
- Too much love will kill you (Queen)
- I want it all (Queen)
- November Rain (Guns n' Roses)
- Paradise City (Guns n' Roses)
- Breakdown (Guns n' Roses)
- On the turning away (Pink Floyd)
- High Hopes (Pink floyd)
- Art of life (X Japan)
- Hallowed by thy name (Iron Maiden)
- Mr Crowley (Ozzy Osbourne)
- Blood red skies (Judas Priest)
- Stairway to heaven (Led Zeppelin)
- When the crowds are gone (Savatage)
- The dark (The trans siberian orchestra)
- The years of decay (Overkill)
- No stone unturned (Heathen)

As you can see I have a hard job picking only a few as I could list a million more, but I would like to hear your suggestions.

I could pick a million more songs from Queen, GNR, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest or Savatage but trying to narrow it down this is what I came up with

http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=i+put+a+spell+on+you&aq=f... choose your version. I personnaly prefer CCR, Nina Simone and Marilyn Manson's versions. All quite different!
http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=smells+like+teen+spirit&aq=f, again, choose your version. I recommend Patti Smith's or Tori Amos' if you're sick of Nirvana's... which I'm not.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwtdhWltSIg&ob=av3n, REM.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_z-hEyVQDRA - Guess Who
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_z-hEyVQDRA - great sonata by Metallica.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=se9rfWucgeY - Billy Joel

I wouldn't say that it's the best song ever, but http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMYSWiPm7E0 is one of my favorite songs.

anything from my playlist in my signature?

i vote DJ Darude's "Sandstorm". best song of it's genre to this day(to me anyways).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTr0kpyTWqI I'll post more songs some other time.

There's a thread for awesome songs, which I'm sure incorporates most of the greatest songs of all time. I'd bet that the people who posted in here already posted in that thread. :whisper:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEaJcJqt2Q0&feature=related - Dead Can Dance.

A few that occur to me atm

there's one more that i think qualifies but it's not on Youtube and i dunno if uploading it constitutes as piracy (even though the album has been out of print for a long time) and i'm a good law-abiding citizen and wouldn't want that hanging over me!


well ARGUABLY there's a difference between an awesome song (which could really just be any song that somebody likes) and one of the best songs ever made (which would generally have to be something that somebody feels has not been topped by anything else). they're both subjective as hell but there's different connotations to them.

I really hate the title of this thread. I don't like the idea of telling people what "the greatest music of all time" is (supposed to be). Lists similar to yours were really... predictable before I even clicked on this. It discourages me from suggesting anything because there isn't anything I deem "the greatest ever".
Now, since your post and your title are a little contradicting, I'm not sure where to post.

edit: Well, the other one seems to be primarily about loud rock songs.

This is a good song that I regret never hearing until now.


It's all about opinion not about one person being right or wrong. These forums are for discussion if you feel unable to take part, fair enough.

I am also quite aware my list was a bit predictable. I stated that fact myself, I was however hoping 'other' people would be able to suggest new songs that other people have yet to hear in the hope of spreading good music. Such as the post from 'Medivh'

Well, okay, then I will simply ignore the title because it tends to "demand" certain music to be mentioned.

Anyway, here are some songs which I currently have on my playlist and enjoy, maybe someone else will, too:

Godspeed You! Black Emperor, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eZ_TgE3x_A.

Do listen in high-quality with headphones or nice speakers.

I have heard many amazing songs.

But I can only name http://www.hongfire.com/cg/data/25/caramelldansen.swf that I can truly call the greatest.

i'll see your storm and raise you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQcE4_7-X78.

the last half of this song is the best thing Quebec has ever done musically.

Excellent choice - though not my personal favourite GYBE song.

Anyway... some random songs:

Beethoven's string quartets, Op. 130 to 133.

We're done here.

Im just going to post music I like, I dont care what people deem great or not, I think they are great.


I love lots of tool songs

Currently listening to a new band, current song sounds ok, but I feel like posting them (mainly becuase they are underrated)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HU4YdjkgSg (posting it here becuase dont know where else to post it)


Also this is a game forum so I must post http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmCCQxVBfyM I dont care if its not a song, I think most people would recognize that even people who dont play games.

Ahem...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rbm6GXllBiw&ob=av3e- Guns N Roses

...and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPVTl9K0lqc.

Not necessarily mine, either. It's easy to get the full effect outside the context of the album though, unlike the other pieces I might have posted.

Lose yourself-Eminem
Hurt me soul-Lupe fiasco
Piano man-Billy joel

Any CCR song.

The two songs I'd consider the greatest of all time (and my two favorite songs of all time, of course) are http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogHIUvSrQ3E&t=5m00s and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-6kvmxUTGc by Within Temptation.
