I can't have a favorite, but man we wore out the newest Fontaines DC album. On that record, the last song is "Favorite". I love it but also love that only a few months after it came out, this guy did an amazing cover of the song, my husband asks me to play this whenever he hears me listening to the original. So- my favorite song called Favorite is:

This was a fantastic listen. Very well done song and fantastic singing from the performer. Just to really appreciate this one, i went ahead and listened to the original, and i must say this version is much better.

9/10

Sorry I am late

Swastik the band - Jogi - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OD7d1e1mwyQ

I usually like the music more than lyrics, but most of my favorites are lyricals, and this has best of lytrics and the music. there is flute, guitar, indian classic and western stuff all mixed. It is my daily alarm.

This was fantastic. Beautifully produced and well orchestrated with a good MV too

9/10

Too many favourites to choose from, but the last one I listened to is this: Bruce Springsteen - I'm on fire.

This was nice. I wish it went on longer though

8/10

This song only has 484 views over 3 years, but I really like the tune.

Simple Man - Men In Kilts

[–] GrammarPolice@piefed.social 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

This wasn't bad. Unfortunately I'm not really a fan of this type of country music. Very 60sβ€”correct me if I'm wrong.

I'll give 5/10

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 days ago

It's actually from 2022. I'd call it somewhat new age folk as I know they have an electric violin. Thanks for checking out the song! Love the idea for this post.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

This wasn't too bad.

I'll say 6/10

[–] J92@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Mr Jukes - Angels / Your Love

A song of two halves, where the background bass line becomes the front row brass.

That was a fantastic piece!

10/10

[–] nore@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Finally a DnB track. Absolutely gorgeous vocals and breaks!

9/10

[–] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Damn that's tough. I would say either Lola Montez by Volbeat or Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd

[–] GrammarPolice@piefed.social 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

2 very good selections from you here, but inevitably, Pink Floyd has to come out on top.

9/10 for Comfortably Numb and 7/10 for Lola Montez

[–] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Can't argue with that! :)

[–] gingernate@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Walk with me in hell - Lamb of God

Fantastic! Just the sort of metal i enjoy!

8/10

[–] neatchee@piefed.social 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Favorite is an impossible question. There is so much good music that is incomparable.Β 

So instead here's a track I've been vibing to for a while now:Β 

JET - Polkadot Stingray

And if you prefer, here's a track I've specifically been vibing to *lately*:

Better - Cody Fry

[–] GrammarPolice@piefed.social 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

These are fantastic. You have great taste in music!

Both songs are a 9/10

[–] neatchee@piefed.social 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

thanks for gassing me up :3

feel free to peruse my grotesquely bloated "Current obsession - Japan" playlist: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1qp2kWRqMd77nsVXr2jG5um4DpMWNn5Y

Also Cody Fry (and the guitarist on that track, Cory Wong) is all around fantastic and worth a dive

I'll surely be checking your playlist out. ThanksπŸ‘
