So this should be fun, right? Post your favourite fictional bands and/or artists from the big and small screen.

Blues is one of my favorites genres, and also one of my biggest influences. It is also the biggest influence and the base for almost all of today's popular music, from Jazz, going through Soul, Rhythm and Blues, Pop, Funk, Rap, and being also the origins of Rock n' Roll, Hard Rock and even the most brutal Metal genres you can imagine. One it's most basic forms is written around 3 chords and the Blue Notes, that give the Blues it's characteristic sound. On it's most traditional form it follows a 12-bar pattern around the mentioned 3 chords: I - IV - V; which means: If we are on C major, those chords would be: C major - F major and G major. But instead of going…

I suppose I should keep this going I'll start it off with an awesome cover of Journey's Don't Stop Believing by The Jezabels

Being discovered on Youtube in the recent years has become a huge trend. I love finding new music and listening to covers. So here post your favorite artists and there original songs or covers. Avery is a very, very talented young girl who signed with Universal records. She has recorded music with producers who worked with Avril L., Cody Simpson, Justin Bieber, and Demi Lovato.

So, do you like Punk Rock? What do you think about it? Well, I'm not the biggest Punk listener, and I'm not THAT familiar with the genre, as I am with another kinds of Rock music. So it would be great to get some feedback and recommendations in this thread too. I listened quite some Punk though when I was 14 - 15 years old, specially the '70s Punk: the bands I listed in the poll. Around that time actually I started writing my own songs, inspired by The Sex Pistols. As for the poll, I listed the "first" three important bands of the genre, as there are so many other around the end of the '70s, early '80s. My vote there goes to The Clash Some music: Proba…

So... What do you think about Grunge? Which bands you like? For my part, I never considered it that much as a musical genre, but rather a movement. Bands with a similar background, from more or less the same area, and around the same time (Stone Temple Pilots being the exception to almost all of this). My favorite band here would be Alice in Chains, followed by Soundgarden maybe. About the poll: I only included the most know bands, though there's a lot more amazing bands from the Seattle area around the late 80s-early 90s. Such as Screaming Trees, Green River, Mudhoney, Mother Love Bone, etc... And of course, some music: Alice in Chains - Them Bones

All of the other instruments are usually anyone's game to most people. However, many see the drums, bass and the electric guitar (not the acoustic as much) to be a man's game generally. That said, there are women that hold their own in these departments .

This may or may not be of interest.. For those unaware, Triple J is a national Australian radio station, and every year they hold a poll for the country's favourite songs of the year, called the Hottest 100. It bills itself as the 'largest music poll in the world', and gets over 1 million votes (every year seems to get bigger, with 2012/13 getting a record 1.5 million). It's a real institution in this country, and just this weekend they had a special mid-year vote for the 'Hottest 100 of the past 20 years', to celebrate the 20 year anniversary of the countdown. The list: 100. Beastie Boys - Intergalactic 99. Lana Del Rey - Video Games 98. Jebediah - Leaving Home 97…

The Kills is a rock band formed by American singer Alison Mosshart ("VV") and British guitarist Jamie Hince ("Hotel"). The Kills debuted in 2002 with the “Black Rooster” EP, released on Domino Records. The duo's debut full-length album, “Keep on Your Mean Side,” was released the following year. The album peaked at #47 on the U.K. Albums chart, while the single "Fried my Little Brains" peaked at #55 on the UK Singles chart. The Kills followed up with “No Wow” in 2005 which was the first of the group's releases to chart in the United States, peaking at #18 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers Albums chart. “No Wow” also charted in the U.K., Belgium, France, and the Netherland…

Any other Beatles' fans here? The band was founded by John Lennon around 1956, under the name "The Quarrymen" in Liverpool. They started playing skiflle: covers and some original songs. In October 1957 Paul McCartney joined the band, and under his recommendation, George Harrison was included in 1958. That year, The Quarrymen recorded two songs: one was a Buddy Holly cover, and the other one a McCartney/Harrison original. By 1960, and after going through several names, the band was now called The Beatles. They were now in Hamburg, in Germany, playing in local clubs as the Indra, The Kaiserkeller, and The Top Ten club. While in Hamburg they entered the recording studio, t…

I'll start with a Pulp song, which was actually released on Christmas Eve last year, but who remembers that <_< It was written some years ago, but was just recently produced and released in this form.. dunno if it's a sign of more new stuff to come from them or not. I hope so though! James Murphy was one of the producers to work on it too - he sure has been getting around since LCD Soundsystem broke up

So at long last, we now have a designated area to highlight debatable or factually inaccurate song lyrics. For instance... "Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon" - It most certainly does not, Vanessa. "There won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time" - Yes there will, they even have ski resorts. And so on and so forth.

She is in Peru haha Seriously Ani Rodriguez, peruvian singer, sings like Amy

New thread for a new year! :Dinah: Heard a new Shins song today.. can't wait for the album!

I would really appreciate if you could tell me if this Music Style Tree Diagram is correct.

I do think that we need a thread like this. There are so many music videos out there - good ones, bad ones. Some actually underline the message of the song, some carry the feeling of it. Just go ahead and start - any year, genre, singer/band. Doesn't matter as long as you feel the need of sharing it (out of praise or criticism and everything in-between...)

Seen a few complaints in another thread that rock has died in the new millenium, but I find this is totally untrue and this thread means to prove it. Maybe some have this theory in mind, because rock is different than it used to be, not such mainstream huge bands to hit the charts, but it is definitely there. Spread into different subgenres of course, but it has been like that before. I still see important bands continuing to put out great records as well as there are plenty new bands of course to rock the scenes. First example of a pretty new band with a recent song: http://www.mtv.de/videos/24230871-rival-so...ssure-time.html but see for yourself.

Post your favorite videos from the 90's

Old school hip hop describes the earliest commercially recorded hip hop music (approximately from 1979–1984), and the music in the period preceding it from which it was directly descended (see Roots of hip hop). Old school hip hop is said to end around 1983 or 1984 with the emergence of Run–D.M.C., the first new school hip hop group. However, some old school rap stations cover 1980s hip hop in general, occasionally extending even into the mid 1990s. The image, styles and sounds of the old school were exemplified by figures like Afrika Bambaataa, The Sugarhill Gang, Spoonie Gee, Treacherous Three, Funky Four Plus One, Kurtis Blow, Fab Five Freddy, Busy Bee Starski, Lovebug…

I don't know who's made this, but it works for me.

Amadeus is a Romanian girl-band made of four girls, playing electric instruments and combining pop-dance rhythms with the virtuosity of violins, cello and keyboards. Members: Andreea (violin), Alexandra (violin), Cristina (keyboards), Patricia (cello) .

Not sure if it belongs here but I fucking love this style! Drum and bass (also written as "drum 'n' bass" and commonly abbreviated to D&B or DnB, also known as Jungle) is a type of electronic dance music which emerged in the mid 1990s. The genre is characterized by fast breakbeats (typically between 160–190 bpm, occasional variation is noted in older compositions), with heavy bass and sub-bass lines. Drum and bass began as an offshoot of the United Kingdom rave scene of the very early 1990s. Over the first decade of its existence, the incorporation of elements from various musical genres led to many permutations in its overall style. Some youtube clips: Feel …
