That song "Bitter Sweet Symphony" was about their most successful record, but as far as I know, they didn't earn a penny from it. The Rolling Stones
accused them of plagiarism. :(

Couple of really nice songs there Eman! :D

Can't wait to hear you play some stuff in March Funky! :D

Kicking back to the music...here's a timeless classic, originally by Leonard Cohen:

Heard on a podcast this pretty decent little song called Dernière Danse a couple o' days ago by (relatively) new French singer and songwriter Indila. Decent lyrics, if not a tad repetitive, but its composition, instrumentation and mastering is where it truly shines IMO. And yes, it's in French, but give it a try before judging it for that; besides, I believe it's a +2 Class bonus just for having others around you hear you listening to anything in French :p. Anyway, enjoy:



There's an official music video for the song but I avoided posting that on purpose because it's utterly ridiculous for some reason :s.

Xac, I love that song. One of the first songs I taught myself on the guitar.

Rofl, Peg.

+ 3 class bonus for listening to this jazzy Japanese song.

Cool, we can sing/play it together with Funky at the LAN party in March, improv some harmonies...anything to put the others off their aim... :lol:

Speaking of poison in game last night, reminded me of this old pantomime rocker... :D

That would be some serenade! :lol:

Maybe we should save it for base lamers...would certainly beat the Lama treatment!

Back to a bit more 80s nostalgia...Def Leopard...any band with a 1 arm drummer has to be awesome! :D

Don't think we've had any REM yet? One of their favourite tracks...
