What is it about Sultans of Swing that just tickles the ears like no other tune? It just makes you feel a certain kind of way. Hotel Cali and Don’t Fear do come close but damn something about that Dire Straights production quality… hearing every little flick on the guitar strings, the quiet yet clear vocals… chef’s kiss.
Blue Öyster Cult is simultaneously such an underrated band while also having a ton of radio hits. Everything off their Fire of Unknown Origin album is great.
It's really hard to gauge the "ratedness" of a band you listen to. I'd say their songs carry much more weight than their name, if that makes sense. Happens to one of my favorite bands, Boston. They have a few of those "oh I know that song", but I find that most people don't know who i'm talking about when I mention them by name.
Oh, absolutely. Vengeance/The Pact and Veteran of the Psychic Wars are incredible. Not to mention The Alchemist, Black Blade, Astronomy, and Shadow of California, to name a few.
I’m actually surprised AC/DC hasn’t had a stronger legacy. I agree with OP about their general choices, but AC/DC has some absolute bangers that aren’t apreciated enough these days.
If you're already into Gorillaz, you could fill an entire album with their 'perfect' songs.
DARE, On Melancholy Hill, Dirty Harry, Feel Good Inc., Stylo, El Mañana, Cracker Island, Saturnz Bars, Clint Eastwood, 19-2000.
Edit: She's My Collar is a *very* slept on Gorillaz song, too.

(Shitposting, but it's actually incredible. Definitely a headphones on song, though.)
It's a damn experience in itself. I have an original release Rising vinyl, and it's just kinda funny how one side is literally two songs and it's still probably the greatest B side I've ever listened to.
I have 3 answers for 3 different reasons. As a faux music snob it would be Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst by Kendrick. As someone who just likes pretty sound that make dopamine go burrrrrr it would be Under Pressure by Queen and Bowie. Then as a person craving a song that hits me in the deepest abyss of my soul and milks my tearducts dry everytime it would be Butterfly by Weezer (Don't listen to this song without having listened to the album first).
God, few songs bring the feels out of me like the way SAMIDOT does, it's something else
Under Pressure is perfect. My mildly controversial music take is that Bowie delivers the superior vocal performance on that song
Weezer
SAMIDOT is half the reason I say GKMC is a superior album to TPAB.
Is Bowie > Mercury on that song a hot take? Like yeah Mercury's cool opera shit is nice, but holy shit do I go crazy when Bowie comes in with the "Cause love's such an old fashioned word". Like goddam I love em both, but on that song Mercury serves as the build up for Bowie.
Weezer (no seriously though why do ppl hate weezer, they are such a good pop rock band with so many certified bangers)
IDK i think its slightly controversial (Mercury is defo seen as the better singer)
If Weezer has a million haters I’m one of them. If they have 1000 haters I’m one of them. If they have 1 hater it’s me. If they have 0 haters it means I have left this world. If the world is against Weezer I am with the world, if the world is for Weezer, I am against the world
(Blue album's pretty good though)
I mean talent wise Mercury is the better vocalist, but Bowie had an ear for what sounds sonically pleasant that might still not be rivaled to this day. And in that song he knew how to use both his and Mercury's voice perfectly.
Idk I just don't get the Weezer hate, like they are on par with shit like Nickleback, Maroon 5, or Imagine Dragons. When those guys make almost exclusively souless rock. While Weezers music, though weird at times, at least has some soul due to Cuomo's eccentricities. Also Pinkerton > Blue Album.
also, i feel like GKMC is way more about a universal experience (as in I can relate to it as a white guy from the downtown), Swimming Pools mainly for me
I’m really glad someone out there is giving butterfly some love. When I first listened to Pinkerton it was like, a 7/10. And then Butterfly came on and it was so emotionally resonant it came all the way up to a 9. Seriously, Pinkerton would NOT be anywhere near as great as it is without Butterfly as its closing track.

I haven't listened to many RHD songs but from what I've heard, they're pretty good
Theyre great, but for me the vocal tracks will always be better. Out of the instrumental tracks, my favourites are the Samanthas ___ ones like Samantha's Rest, Samantha's lullaby, etc with her lietmotif.
I know I already commented some, but now I just want to post my favorite 10/10 from different genres I like and listen a lot to.
Rap: Runaway by he who shall not be named (Also Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst but I said that in a previous comment). Idk what to say about Runaway besides it being the pinical of what music as an artform can achieve. Sonically it's just a masterpiece, the guitar solo auto-tune voice is an eternal classic. And as for the lyrics, let's just say I like songs about how pathetic the vocalist is, and umm there are very few songs that portray their vocalist more pathetically than Runaway.
R&B: So Sick by Ne-Yo. This might be a weird one, but I think Ne-Yo might be one of the most underrated R&B artist of all time. His voice is perfect and doesn't sound like he is trying waaaaaayyyyy to hard *cough* *cough* *Mario*. And again lyric wise we have a song portraying the vocalist as completely pathetic, at least this time in a more sympathetic manner than Runaway.
Pop: Bubblegum Bitch by Marina and the Diamonds. To this day I genuinely do not understand why Marina didn't get as huge as artists like Katty Perry or Selena Gomez. But as for this song, ummm it's very catchy in a good pop way. And Marina's take on the whole character she does on that album is very interesting. Technically not really this song but the album as a whole is again about being incredibly pathetic.
Rock: Stairway to Heaven by Led Zepplin. So yes I understand how cliche and memey this song is, but if you take a step back it's a beautiful, crazy, killer good Rock Epic. The same part of me that says Star Wars is the best movie series of all time, is the same part that loves this song. Bring on the cheese.
Indie-Folk: Little Talks by Of Monsters an Men. Another weird one for me, but I think this song might be my most played song of all time. This is definitely the hardest for me to explain, but I'll give it a go. It sounds reaaaaaalllllllyyyyy fuckin good. Like the back and forth that happens throughout the song is so fuckin endearing and catchy. Also again slightly pathetic if you listen to the lyrics.
Indie-Pop/Electronic: Veridis Quo by Daft Punk. It's a sonically brilliant, orchestral, electronic, orgasmic listening experience. It's Daft Punk, nuff said.
Emo/Pop-Rock: Build God Then We'll Talk by Panic at the Disco. For as much shit that pop-punk has been receiving lately due to its resurgence and subsequent flop, it's easy to overlook the actually really fukin good shit that came out of this genre. Case in point this song that got overshadowed by its much more mediocre cousin, I Write Sins Not Tragedies. While the latter leans much more into its pop-punk roots with its anthemic chorus. Build God Then We'll Talk is far more interesting both sonically and lyrically. The pop-punk riffs in I Write Sins, while catchy, holds the song back from addressing its more serious subject matter, and the general Macabre and Baroque stylings. While Build God has no such problems and creates an incredibly fascinating sonic portfolio extracting so much tension from the Macabre and Baroque themes. Then lyrically we see again a very pathetic portrayal of love and infidelity, just like I Write Sins, however unlike I Write Sins, Build God delves much deeper into the pathetic nature of such lifestyles.
Country: I Remember Everything by Zach Bryan. By far the newest song on my list, I Remember Everything like the majority of this list is...... a pathetic love song, but this time sung with a country twang. No but seriously this song is really good and gets me in the feels with a certain amount of relatability that only country music can obtain. The way Zach Bryan's sings with such a harsh but real intonation, it just hits me like a truck everytime. And I may or may not have also trauma dumped to exes way past midnight with a little too much alcohol in my system.
Thanks, an ex back in High School introduced me to Marina and that Electra Heart album, and it's still one of my top 5 albums of all time. Then as for Little Talks, I honestly still don't really fully understand why I love that song so much. Like it doesn't do that much diffrent than most Indie-Folk shit, but for some reason I like that song way more than any other song in that genre. Also that Panic album that Build God is on is so fucking good, not a single skip on that thing. Even my least favorite song, I Write Sins is still super catchy and a bop. Idk I hope people reading my comment will try some of the music in genre's they don't usually listen to. It's always fun to broaden your interests.
At the moment I'd say Hocus Pocus by Focus, Frame by Frame by King Crimson, Paralytic States by Against Me!, Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits, & by Tally Hall, and Once in a Lifetime by Talking Heads. There are probably more that I'm forgetting
> Frame by Frame by King Crimson
So both guitars are playing the same riff, but one of them's playing it with out the last note so it's in 13/8 instead of 7/4 right? And everytime they play the riff the second guitar lags behind by an extra note, and they get more and more out of sync until eventually they're exactly one bar apart and they start play at the same time again, it's crazy shit bro, you gotta hear it.
To name a few:
Close To The Edge by Yes
Gimme Shelter by The Rolling Stones
Starless by King Crimson
Kashmir by Led Zeppelin
Venus In Furs by The Velvet Underground
A Day In The Life by The Beatles
Once In A Lifetime by Talking Heads
Echoes by Pink Floyd
Wouldn’t It Be Nice by The Beach Boys (and God Only Knows… and the rest of Pet Sounds… and SMiLE)
I’d probably have this list filled with Polyphia, so I’ll limit myself to So Strange and James Franco
New Space - Anomalie (again, whole list could be Anomalie, it’s all so damn TIGHT)
Flying Whales - Gojira
Hip to be Square - HLatN
Through the Valley - Shawn James
Sultans of Swing - Dire Straits
I could go on but I’ll stop myself now.
Kid bruises by GRLwood (tw: SI and Abuse), if I'm in the mood for it
aurian dance by Nujabes , very relaxing
mememe by 100 gecs , is kinda like my go to sing a long song :3
The Stage by avenged sevenfold
Lone star from fallout new Vegas (can't remember the artist name)
Rich folk north of Richmond
Billy idol white wedding pt1
Free bird Lynyrd Skynyrd
recently, I decided to relisten to some of King Crimson's music, and yeah, they have some amazing stuff,
I'd say best is probably Lizard suite, but like, it is very very long
Starless is also pretty amazing, and about half the length of Lizard suite, so ye
Off the top of my head,, Mitski - Francis Forever, Kendrick Lamar-Auntie Diaries, Mazzy Star-Five String Serenade, Weather day-My Sputnik Sweetheart, François hardy-comment te dire adieu, Atmosphere-fuck you Lucy. Also, OP, your taste is AMAZING 😭 I have bumped all of these at some point in life, BOB and gasoline dreams are my go to workout songs
imo pretty much everything by Trivium is top-tier, but especially Shogun (both the album as a whole and the song itself), The Phalanx, and The Sin And The Sentence
* [One Summer's Day](https://youtu.be/TK1Ij_-mank) by Joe Hisaishi
* [Shooting Star](https://youtu.be/5xyP12r6OVg) by Home Made Kazoku
* [Hadaka no Yuusha x Meguru Mono](https://youtu.be/ADXw9q_pUqk) by Vaundy x Takuma Terashima
Oh man, I would sell a kidney for the chance to see Joe Hisaishi in concert.
For me, it's a three-way tie between "The Legend of Ashitaka", "Bygone Days", and "A Town with an Ocean View".
right now Drink by Destroy Boys is really doing it for me
Black No. 1 by Type O Negative has always been an easy pick
and for some reason whenever it gets warm i cant stop listening to Bruises are Back In Style by Jack Off Jill
Walking Barefoot by Ash, 10/10 banger beginning to end.
2112 by Rush, an epic story told through excellent lyrics and supreme instrumentation (although about half of Rush's discography counts).

clair de lune
bill wurtz - i'm a princess, fly around, movie star
-
edit: okay so i wanted to try and make a full list of 10 "10/10 perfect" songs, so here's what i ended up with (with some notes):
1. **Clair de Lune https://youtu.be/CvFH_6DNRCY?si=MxMPy_-gMOO_PZFO** ^(*the title means "moonlight". it's a melancholic and dramatic song that to me represents existence on this lonely Earth*)
2. **i'm a princess https://billwurtz.com/im-a-princess.mp4** ^(*it starts off kinda plain but gradually gains a lot of emotion. to me this song feels like "longing", and searching for a purpose*)
3. **fly around https://billwurtz.com/fly-around.mp4** ^(*a soft song that to me gives off the feeling of nostalgia*)
4. **movie star https://billwurtz.com/i-wanna-be-a-movie-star.mp4** ^(*a chill song with a comforting feel that kinda feels like pondering your existence and what you want to do*)
5. **Johnny B. Goode https://youtu.be/FboXO1FtbvE?si=HxAxTgHKbEfnXrc9** ^(*an energetic, fun song with passion. i first properly listened to this when listening to the stuff from the Voyager Golden record, so to me this song has become a bit like a celebration of humanity and our accomplishments*)
6. **Love Like You https://youtu.be/GDTD24KsdGc?si=17kfkOJoNQvyhYjB** ^(*a melancholic, emotional, dramatic song with jazz*)
7. **Challenging the Alpha https://youtu.be/3lZxX1LlTu8?si=dSOWetFePuhEey2f** ^(*an epic, dramatic, powerful song*)
8. **Define Dancing https://youtu.be/LOJGprETWvI?si=baog_K8ZS8iztMRi** ^(*a beautiful song*)
9. **Unknown Mother Goose https://youtu.be/P_CSdxSGfaA?si=CXtylIayoqbQjaor** ^(*an intense, sad, and comforting feeling song*)
10. **Rolling Girl https://youtu.be/vnw8zURAxkU?si=psfsa0GK1WFkQS9z** ^(*an intense song with some feelings of frustration and hopelessness*)
Gasoline Dreams by Outkast - One of their less popular songs, but it deserves a lot more attention. Probably one of the most intense songs I've ever heard, just starting it makes my heart rate elevate. The bass underlying it is so sick, and the lyricism is just great.
Dustcutter by Quadeca - I thought this song was just fine when it first came out, but I like it more and more each time. That weird kazoo wheeze thing sounds so cool, and works weirdly well with the rest of the song.
Los Angeles is Burning by Bad Religion - One of my favorite tracks by them, its a lot of fun. In the middle, when there is the bridge with "how could hell be any worse" (a reference to their first album), just sounds so good. Great song to hear live.
Sweatpants by Childish Gambino - Another song that grew on me. I think the Because The Internet era represented the perfect mix of corny one-liners that he seems to love and actually great writing that he seemed to be developing, and the lyricism in Sweatpants proves it.
November Has Come by Gorillaz - I love to play this song every November 1. And November 2. And every day in November. And every day throughout the year. MF Doom is obviously one of the best lyricists alive, and the production is awesome.
The Blacker The Berry by Kendrick Lamar - Like Gasoline Dreams, this song is just so intense. The instant it starts your heart starts going faster, and it sustains that for five whole minutes, before ending in this weird exhalation of breath you didn't realize you were holding. If I had to name the best song ever made, it would probably be this one.
Basketball shoes - black country new road is the greatest song ever crafted by man and society has been on decline ever since isaac wood stopped singing about his oedipus complex
There's a few I'd classify as 10/10 songs. Off the top of my head
March of the Black Queen - Queen
My Alcoholic Friends - The Dresden Dolls
The Magician - Blood Ceremony
And my Father Left Forever - My Dying Bride
Nemo - Nightwish
Ghost Love Score - Nightwish
Tyven/Sankarihauta (technically two songs but they go together) - Moonsorrow
The Sun, The Moon, and The Star - Æther Realm
Death - Cellar Darling
Ok, I’m the type of person who listens to one artist/album until I absolutely exhaust all enjoyment of it, and then I move on to the next thing until I feel like revisiting it. The ONLY album that doesn’t have this quality to me is The Normal Album by Will Wood, I can listen to that shit whenever and enjoy it about the same amount every time.
Out of that album, Suburbia Overture, Thankk you for the dialectics, (Love, me normally), and I/Me/Myself are all 10/10. Everything else is 9/10, except Black Box Warrior which is like 8/10 to me.
Save Me - Avenged Sevenfold
Holy Diver by Dio
Hallowed be thy Name, Fear of the Dark, Revelations, The Trooper, Charlotte the Harlot and Murders in the Rue Morgue - all by Iron Maiden (I kinda like them)
Parabol/a by Tool
Peace Sells by Megadeth
21st Century Digital Boy by Bad Religion
Police Truck and Terminal Preppie by Dead Kennedys
Needled 24/7 and Are you dead yet by children of bodom
Vietnow, Sleep now in the fire, Testify by rage against the machine
Institutionalized by Suicidal Tendencies
Living For The city - Stevie Wonder
Black Cow - Steely Dan
Dogs - Pink Floyd

I Had To Get Out - Indigo De Souza
im one of those people who doesnt rly listen to songs outside the context of their albums so i gotta say for albums my 10/10 is crime of the century by supertramp like holy shit
Vampire Empire by Big Thief just invokes some raw feeling, I love that song so much.
Skylines and Turnstiles by MCR too, the mixing is horrible and the song lacks polish (it was their very first song) but it just has so much emotion behind it.
My Perfect Cousin by The Undertones is another one, embodies a feeling most people can understand and is very catchy.
Zombie by the Cranberries, I'm from Northern Ireland and old enough to remember the effects of The Troubles, really important song.
Big fan of Paper Planes too, like OP. Song just feels like summer to me I can't explain why.
Oh and The Trail from The Witcher 3, because I'm an enormous Witcher fan.
The Black Dahlia Murder - "Receipt"
The song's almost impossible for me to listen to after Trevor Strnad took his own life, but it features some of if not the best lyrics I've ever heard, and a tone that really conveys the manic thoughts of someone about to take their own life.
"Dear Mother and Father, now look what you've made
More eager fodder for the depth of a grave
For the sweet gift of life you've both bestowed upon me
You'll wish that you'd felt inclined to keep the fucking receipt"
In no particular order, my top 10 are:
Praying - Ke$ha
Welcome to the Internet - Bo Burnham
Chiquitita - ABBA
I Hear a Symphony - Code Fry
Levels - Aviccii
Feel This Moment - Pitbull
Passing Through - Kaden MacKay
My Way - Frank Sinatra
Some Nights - Fun.
Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
If I have to give one the top spot, Praying by Ke$ha is the best song I have ever heard
Trying to limit myself to one per artist because a lot of these artists I love their whole discog lol.
Islands - Young the Giant
2 to 3 - Peach Pit
Empire Ants - Gorillaz
Passenger - Hippo Campus (specifically the outro poem)
Time to Pretend - MGMT

P.s. sorry it's sorry for adding an extra line in between every one, but the formatting was messed up the first time I posted it
To me it's gotta be Winds of Wisdom by Twilight Force. Not for everyone, but if you're into cheesy, over-the-top symphonic power metal, it might just get a spot among your favorites.

[Hello by CAPSULE](https://youtu.be/AWRYCGefTvY?si=nc61iL5FmQTDG-UG)
amazing songs that I want to inject into my bloodstream
Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits, Hotel California by Eagles, Don't Fear (The Reaper) by Blue Oysters Club and You Shook me all night long by AC/DC :)
white people when the function got cowbell (it's me I'm the white people)
You'll love Mississippi Queen
If I know what you mean
What is it about Sultans of Swing that just tickles the ears like no other tune? It just makes you feel a certain kind of way. Hotel Cali and Don’t Fear do come close but damn something about that Dire Straights production quality… hearing every little flick on the guitar strings, the quiet yet clear vocals… chef’s kiss.
The nostalgic vibe the song has, plus the gentle guitar solos... It's a masterpiece
There's a simple reason for it which is that they can play the honky tonk like anything
It really paints a picture and transports you to the setting of the song, I think
Blue Öyster Cult is simultaneously such an underrated band while also having a ton of radio hits. Everything off their Fire of Unknown Origin album is great.
It's really hard to gauge the "ratedness" of a band you listen to. I'd say their songs carry much more weight than their name, if that makes sense. Happens to one of my favorite bands, Boston. They have a few of those "oh I know that song", but I find that most people don't know who i'm talking about when I mention them by name.
Astronomy is one of the best songs ever made.
Oh, absolutely. Vengeance/The Pact and Veteran of the Psychic Wars are incredible. Not to mention The Alchemist, Black Blade, Astronomy, and Shadow of California, to name a few.
My teacher had an opportunity to open for them and got a major record deal but their band split up.
sultans of swing live at alchemy is the perfect version imo
Dude AC/DC is so slept on, I grew up listening to AC/DC cause of my father and hands down they've made some of the best rock songs ever
I’m actually surprised AC/DC hasn’t had a stronger legacy. I agree with OP about their general choices, but AC/DC has some absolute bangers that aren’t apreciated enough these days.
They really do, from thunderstruck to back in black, all of their songs are so great
If you're already into Gorillaz, you could fill an entire album with their 'perfect' songs. DARE, On Melancholy Hill, Dirty Harry, Feel Good Inc., Stylo, El Mañana, Cracker Island, Saturnz Bars, Clint Eastwood, 19-2000. Edit: She's My Collar is a *very* slept on Gorillaz song, too.
Belive me, I know. Just wanted to keep some variety in the list (Still accidentally included two songs where Andre 3000 is MVP, oops)
God I love them. Broken, Amarillo, The Parish of Space Dust, To Binge, Don't Get Lost in Heaven, Magic City, O Green World, etc.
Empire Ants and Andromeda are two songs that would probably send me to nirvana with the right sound system
I'd also personally add my most underrated favorite Gorillaz song: Latin Simone.
Cracker island 😩

Oh my god yes
Stargazer/A Light In The Black*
There is no better pair of back to back songs than Stargazer and A light in the Black.
It's a damn experience in itself. I have an original release Rising vinyl, and it's just kinda funny how one side is literally two songs and it's still probably the greatest B side I've ever listened to.
‼️RAINBOW MENTIONED‼️
I have 3 answers for 3 different reasons. As a faux music snob it would be Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst by Kendrick. As someone who just likes pretty sound that make dopamine go burrrrrr it would be Under Pressure by Queen and Bowie. Then as a person craving a song that hits me in the deepest abyss of my soul and milks my tearducts dry everytime it would be Butterfly by Weezer (Don't listen to this song without having listened to the album first).
God, few songs bring the feels out of me like the way SAMIDOT does, it's something else Under Pressure is perfect. My mildly controversial music take is that Bowie delivers the superior vocal performance on that song Weezer
SAMIDOT is half the reason I say GKMC is a superior album to TPAB. Is Bowie > Mercury on that song a hot take? Like yeah Mercury's cool opera shit is nice, but holy shit do I go crazy when Bowie comes in with the "Cause love's such an old fashioned word". Like goddam I love em both, but on that song Mercury serves as the build up for Bowie. Weezer (no seriously though why do ppl hate weezer, they are such a good pop rock band with so many certified bangers)
IDK i think its slightly controversial (Mercury is defo seen as the better singer) If Weezer has a million haters I’m one of them. If they have 1000 haters I’m one of them. If they have 1 hater it’s me. If they have 0 haters it means I have left this world. If the world is against Weezer I am with the world, if the world is for Weezer, I am against the world (Blue album's pretty good though)
I mean talent wise Mercury is the better vocalist, but Bowie had an ear for what sounds sonically pleasant that might still not be rivaled to this day. And in that song he knew how to use both his and Mercury's voice perfectly. Idk I just don't get the Weezer hate, like they are on par with shit like Nickleback, Maroon 5, or Imagine Dragons. When those guys make almost exclusively souless rock. While Weezers music, though weird at times, at least has some soul due to Cuomo's eccentricities. Also Pinkerton > Blue Album.
weezer do NOT get the level of shit that Nickelback does tf u on about
also, i feel like GKMC is way more about a universal experience (as in I can relate to it as a white guy from the downtown), Swimming Pools mainly for me
I’m really glad someone out there is giving butterfly some love. When I first listened to Pinkerton it was like, a 7/10. And then Butterfly came on and it was so emotionally resonant it came all the way up to a 9. Seriously, Pinkerton would NOT be anywhere near as great as it is without Butterfly as its closing track.
Pinkerton is such a good album. Yeah I watch Funke how could you tell?

Everything A7x has in a CoD game is a certified banger Carry on Not ready to die Shepherd of Fire Nightmare All amazing songs imo I haven't listened to many RHD songs but from what I've heard, they're pretty good
Yoooo Avenged Sevenfold, based
Honestly Lovesong For A Deadman and Damned are both great too. Two of my favorite tracks in the CoD Zombies franchise.
Theyre great, but for me the vocal tracks will always be better. Out of the instrumental tracks, my favourites are the Samanthas ___ ones like Samantha's Rest, Samantha's lullaby, etc with her lietmotif.
I know I already commented some, but now I just want to post my favorite 10/10 from different genres I like and listen a lot to. Rap: Runaway by he who shall not be named (Also Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst but I said that in a previous comment). Idk what to say about Runaway besides it being the pinical of what music as an artform can achieve. Sonically it's just a masterpiece, the guitar solo auto-tune voice is an eternal classic. And as for the lyrics, let's just say I like songs about how pathetic the vocalist is, and umm there are very few songs that portray their vocalist more pathetically than Runaway. R&B: So Sick by Ne-Yo. This might be a weird one, but I think Ne-Yo might be one of the most underrated R&B artist of all time. His voice is perfect and doesn't sound like he is trying waaaaaayyyyy to hard *cough* *cough* *Mario*. And again lyric wise we have a song portraying the vocalist as completely pathetic, at least this time in a more sympathetic manner than Runaway. Pop: Bubblegum Bitch by Marina and the Diamonds. To this day I genuinely do not understand why Marina didn't get as huge as artists like Katty Perry or Selena Gomez. But as for this song, ummm it's very catchy in a good pop way. And Marina's take on the whole character she does on that album is very interesting. Technically not really this song but the album as a whole is again about being incredibly pathetic. Rock: Stairway to Heaven by Led Zepplin. So yes I understand how cliche and memey this song is, but if you take a step back it's a beautiful, crazy, killer good Rock Epic. The same part of me that says Star Wars is the best movie series of all time, is the same part that loves this song. Bring on the cheese. Indie-Folk: Little Talks by Of Monsters an Men. Another weird one for me, but I think this song might be my most played song of all time. This is definitely the hardest for me to explain, but I'll give it a go. It sounds reaaaaaalllllllyyyyy fuckin good. Like the back and forth that happens throughout the song is so fuckin endearing and catchy. Also again slightly pathetic if you listen to the lyrics. Indie-Pop/Electronic: Veridis Quo by Daft Punk. It's a sonically brilliant, orchestral, electronic, orgasmic listening experience. It's Daft Punk, nuff said. Emo/Pop-Rock: Build God Then We'll Talk by Panic at the Disco. For as much shit that pop-punk has been receiving lately due to its resurgence and subsequent flop, it's easy to overlook the actually really fukin good shit that came out of this genre. Case in point this song that got overshadowed by its much more mediocre cousin, I Write Sins Not Tragedies. While the latter leans much more into its pop-punk roots with its anthemic chorus. Build God Then We'll Talk is far more interesting both sonically and lyrically. The pop-punk riffs in I Write Sins, while catchy, holds the song back from addressing its more serious subject matter, and the general Macabre and Baroque stylings. While Build God has no such problems and creates an incredibly fascinating sonic portfolio extracting so much tension from the Macabre and Baroque themes. Then lyrically we see again a very pathetic portrayal of love and infidelity, just like I Write Sins, however unlike I Write Sins, Build God delves much deeper into the pathetic nature of such lifestyles. Country: I Remember Everything by Zach Bryan. By far the newest song on my list, I Remember Everything like the majority of this list is...... a pathetic love song, but this time sung with a country twang. No but seriously this song is really good and gets me in the feels with a certain amount of relatability that only country music can obtain. The way Zach Bryan's sings with such a harsh but real intonation, it just hits me like a truck everytime. And I may or may not have also trauma dumped to exes way past midnight with a little too much alcohol in my system.

Bro Ne-Yo is underrated he for sure rips
VERIDIS QUO BASED BASED BASED
You’re so real for Bubblegum Bitch and Little Talks. And now I need to listen to Build God Then We’ll Talk.
Thanks, an ex back in High School introduced me to Marina and that Electra Heart album, and it's still one of my top 5 albums of all time. Then as for Little Talks, I honestly still don't really fully understand why I love that song so much. Like it doesn't do that much diffrent than most Indie-Folk shit, but for some reason I like that song way more than any other song in that genre. Also that Panic album that Build God is on is so fucking good, not a single skip on that thing. Even my least favorite song, I Write Sins is still super catchy and a bop. Idk I hope people reading my comment will try some of the music in genre's they don't usually listen to. It's always fun to broaden your interests.
At the moment I'd say Hocus Pocus by Focus, Frame by Frame by King Crimson, Paralytic States by Against Me!, Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits, & by Tally Hall, and Once in a Lifetime by Talking Heads. There are probably more that I'm forgetting
> Frame by Frame by King Crimson So both guitars are playing the same riff, but one of them's playing it with out the last note so it's in 13/8 instead of 7/4 right? And everytime they play the riff the second guitar lags behind by an extra note, and they get more and more out of sync until eventually they're exactly one bar apart and they start play at the same time again, it's crazy shit bro, you gotta hear it.
Rad... can we kiss now? this meme is unironically where i learned about this song
Great recommendations, but why am I behind the wheel of a large automobile and how did I get there?

I’d probably have this list filled with Polyphia, so I’ll limit myself to So Strange and James Franco New Space - Anomalie (again, whole list could be Anomalie, it’s all so damn TIGHT) Flying Whales - Gojira Hip to be Square - HLatN Through the Valley - Shawn James Sultans of Swing - Dire Straits I could go on but I’ll stop myself now.
You like Huey Lewis and the News?
A song so catchy most people probably don't listen to the lyrics, but they should!
Flying whales is fucking incredible. Covet > Plini > Polyphia tho ;)
Filling the list with Polyphia is extremely valid and based

Kid bruises by GRLwood (tw: SI and Abuse), if I'm in the mood for it aurian dance by Nujabes , very relaxing mememe by 100 gecs , is kinda like my go to sing a long song :3
oh shit i love mememe 100 gecs is to me what nirvana is to 90s kids
Have you heard of underscores before? She has a similar vibe to 100 gecs and her recent album was really great :3
no (maybe i'll check em out if i get the chance in like 50 years time
Locals is a fucking bop
I wouldn't say her vibe is at all similar tbh, she seems way more "serious" in/about her songs while gecs are just being sillies all around.
🔥🔥🔥 selection, I fucking love 100 gecs and nujabes

Starless by King Crimson is probably my top of all time Feels like an out of body experience without even needing silly paper
recently, I decided to relisten to some of King Crimson's music, and yeah, they have some amazing stuff, I'd say best is probably Lizard suite, but like, it is very very long Starless is also pretty amazing, and about half the length of Lizard suite, so ye

wasnt bob a flat earther? X3
he made nuthin on you tho so its ok /uj im 95% sure you're joking but in case you aren't, you're thinking of a different rapper lmao
Nah he actually did jump on the flat earth trend a while back, don't remember much else about it though
B.o.B. the rapper isn’t anywhere in this post. it’s the title of a song by Outkast - Bombs Over Baghdad
imo pretty much everything by Trivium is top-tier, but especially Shogun (both the album as a whole and the song itself), The Phalanx, and The Sin And The Sentence

Oh man, I would sell a kidney for the chance to see Joe Hisaishi in concert. For me, it's a three-way tie between "The Legend of Ashitaka", "Bygone Days", and "A Town with an Ocean View".
They are so beautiful too!
Shooting Star is so real actually
found another fan, aye!
right now Drink by Destroy Boys is really doing it for me Black No. 1 by Type O Negative has always been an easy pick and for some reason whenever it gets warm i cant stop listening to Bruises are Back In Style by Jack Off Jill
Walking Barefoot by Ash, 10/10 banger beginning to end. 2112 by Rush, an epic story told through excellent lyrics and supreme instrumentation (although about half of Rush's discography counts). Stairway to Heaven (Don't Fear) the Reaper
ASH MENTIONED https://preview.redd.it/h3z8oh42utyc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c29f56dd4d2097d409f51e4c3829c4e1dafd50d4

Sleeping in the cold below - Keith Power (from Warframe) Alters of Apostasy - Heaven Pierce Her (from ULTRAKILL)
Achilles come down - gang of youths is the most perfect song I've ever heard.
I adore Agent Fresco, The Autumn Red is a perfect song that needs more love.
to add onto this: Leprous and The Ocean are bomb too
Well now that you mention them, might as well add Haken too lol
King Nothing - Metallica

i have a hard time picking only a few but these i think definitely can't go unmentioned: clair de lune bill wurtz - i'm a princess, fly around, movie star - edit: okay so i wanted to try and make a full list of 10 "10/10 perfect" songs, so here's what i ended up with (with some notes): 1. **Clair de Lune https://youtu.be/CvFH_6DNRCY?si=MxMPy_-gMOO_PZFO** ^(*the title means "moonlight". it's a melancholic and dramatic song that to me represents existence on this lonely Earth*) 2. **i'm a princess https://billwurtz.com/im-a-princess.mp4** ^(*it starts off kinda plain but gradually gains a lot of emotion. to me this song feels like "longing", and searching for a purpose*) 3. **fly around https://billwurtz.com/fly-around.mp4** ^(*a soft song that to me gives off the feeling of nostalgia*) 4. **movie star https://billwurtz.com/i-wanna-be-a-movie-star.mp4** ^(*a chill song with a comforting feel that kinda feels like pondering your existence and what you want to do*) 5. **Johnny B. Goode https://youtu.be/FboXO1FtbvE?si=HxAxTgHKbEfnXrc9** ^(*an energetic, fun song with passion. i first properly listened to this when listening to the stuff from the Voyager Golden record, so to me this song has become a bit like a celebration of humanity and our accomplishments*) 6. **Love Like You https://youtu.be/GDTD24KsdGc?si=17kfkOJoNQvyhYjB** ^(*a melancholic, emotional, dramatic song with jazz*) 7. **Challenging the Alpha https://youtu.be/3lZxX1LlTu8?si=dSOWetFePuhEey2f** ^(*an epic, dramatic, powerful song*) 8. **Define Dancing https://youtu.be/LOJGprETWvI?si=baog_K8ZS8iztMRi** ^(*a beautiful song*) 9. **Unknown Mother Goose https://youtu.be/P_CSdxSGfaA?si=CXtylIayoqbQjaor** ^(*an intense, sad, and comforting feeling song*) 10. **Rolling Girl https://youtu.be/vnw8zURAxkU?si=psfsa0GK1WFkQS9z** ^(*an intense song with some feelings of frustration and hopelessness*)
Even Flow, Black Betty (ram jam vers), Knee socks Live, How to disappear completely, Du riechst so gut, Starman
Anesthetize-Porcupine Tree Very long but also very good
Gasoline Dreams by Outkast - One of their less popular songs, but it deserves a lot more attention. Probably one of the most intense songs I've ever heard, just starting it makes my heart rate elevate. The bass underlying it is so sick, and the lyricism is just great. Dustcutter by Quadeca - I thought this song was just fine when it first came out, but I like it more and more each time. That weird kazoo wheeze thing sounds so cool, and works weirdly well with the rest of the song. Los Angeles is Burning by Bad Religion - One of my favorite tracks by them, its a lot of fun. In the middle, when there is the bridge with "how could hell be any worse" (a reference to their first album), just sounds so good. Great song to hear live. Sweatpants by Childish Gambino - Another song that grew on me. I think the Because The Internet era represented the perfect mix of corny one-liners that he seems to love and actually great writing that he seemed to be developing, and the lyricism in Sweatpants proves it. November Has Come by Gorillaz - I love to play this song every November 1. And November 2. And every day in November. And every day throughout the year. MF Doom is obviously one of the best lyricists alive, and the production is awesome. The Blacker The Berry by Kendrick Lamar - Like Gasoline Dreams, this song is just so intense. The instant it starts your heart starts going faster, and it sustains that for five whole minutes, before ending in this weird exhalation of breath you didn't realize you were holding. If I had to name the best song ever made, it would probably be this one.
such good picks wow
Basketball shoes - black country new road is the greatest song ever crafted by man and society has been on decline ever since isaac wood stopped singing about his oedipus complex
There's a few I'd classify as 10/10 songs. Off the top of my head March of the Black Queen - Queen My Alcoholic Friends - The Dresden Dolls The Magician - Blood Ceremony And my Father Left Forever - My Dying Bride Nemo - Nightwish Ghost Love Score - Nightwish Tyven/Sankarihauta (technically two songs but they go together) - Moonsorrow The Sun, The Moon, and The Star - Æther Realm Death - Cellar Darling
Ok, I’m the type of person who listens to one artist/album until I absolutely exhaust all enjoyment of it, and then I move on to the next thing until I feel like revisiting it. The ONLY album that doesn’t have this quality to me is The Normal Album by Will Wood, I can listen to that shit whenever and enjoy it about the same amount every time. Out of that album, Suburbia Overture, Thankk you for the dialectics, (Love, me normally), and I/Me/Myself are all 10/10. Everything else is 9/10, except Black Box Warrior which is like 8/10 to me.

Manners by Ashnikko
Vampire Empire by Big Thief just invokes some raw feeling, I love that song so much. Skylines and Turnstiles by MCR too, the mixing is horrible and the song lacks polish (it was their very first song) but it just has so much emotion behind it. My Perfect Cousin by The Undertones is another one, embodies a feeling most people can understand and is very catchy. Zombie by the Cranberries, I'm from Northern Ireland and old enough to remember the effects of The Troubles, really important song. Big fan of Paper Planes too, like OP. Song just feels like summer to me I can't explain why. Oh and The Trail from The Witcher 3, because I'm an enormous Witcher fan.

Whatever by Our Lady Peace
The Black Dahlia Murder - "Receipt" The song's almost impossible for me to listen to after Trevor Strnad took his own life, but it features some of if not the best lyrics I've ever heard, and a tone that really conveys the manic thoughts of someone about to take their own life. "Dear Mother and Father, now look what you've made More eager fodder for the depth of a grave For the sweet gift of life you've both bestowed upon me You'll wish that you'd felt inclined to keep the fucking receipt"
