November Rain (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siBoLc9vxac) (Guns N' Roses)

I love how that video has like ten million views, and all of the comments at the top there where people are just gushing about how great that song is have like fifteen thousand thumbs up.

My top 10 favs(in no particular order):

Bitter Sweet Symphony - Cold Play
:kitty:

Unless Coldplay redid Bittersweet Symphony, it was actually done by The Verve back in the 90's, before Coldplay was around. This was their only big single and I believe their only album due to the fact that the symphony sample in the song is actually ripped from a Rolling Stones song thats name escapes me right now and they were sued for it. Its an awesome song and if Coldplay DID redo it, PLEASE send me a PM so I can get it from you.

Mine, again, in no particular order are:

1. Hero of the Day : Metallica
2. The Joker : The Steve Miller Band
3. Bohemian Rhapsody : Queen
4. Knights of Cyclonia : Muse
5. Don't Stop Believin' : Journey
6. Foreplay (Long Time) : Boston
7. Nothing Else Matters : Metallica
8. Island in the Sun : Weezer
9. Do You Want To Play : Extreme
10. Creep : Radiohead

I don't mean to be a dickhead, but there are some really weird musical tastes in here. MG's mix of rap and classic rock? I just find that odd.

Why is that odd? Oh, I forgot, narrow-mindedness is commonplace in the world today. Well, some "freaks" like to listen to all different kinds of music. Who would've thunk?

I didn't know that. I just typed in on what my PC mentioned as the Artist, that and my dad (Scarlet Dragon who is alive and well in case anybody was wondering) sent it to me with a song called Clocks. They have the file names
"Cold Play - Clocks" and "Cold Play -Bitter Sweet Symphony" when I got them from him so I just assumed that's who did the song. Sorry If I was wrong about it. :kitty:

As for pming you about it, sure if I can figure out how to send it without emailing...unless that was what you meant. :kitty:
