Of course when I sing it as Doggy Doo its always good for a laugh... unless it isn't.:eek:

Bruce Springsteen is the prince of tear-jerkers...Downbound Train, Living Proof, most of the Nebraska Album, etc.

Estranged by Guns N' Roses, WWOZ by Better than Ezra, Not Only Numb by Gin Blossoms, all stand out as exceptionally emotional.

The musical finale of Purple Rain, after the last verse but before the improvised coda, is another masterpiece.

"Broken Hallelujah", the Jeff Buckley version

Only the JC version.

are you serious?? i like the JC version but no one could ever sing it like TR. why not save your comments for the "covers" thread if you wanna talk about the late JC

Because it was relevant to this conversation... terrible advice. Try again later.

Actually, the covers thread is newer than that post...

Still bad advice... but nice hustle.

I think I was agreeing with you, rk... *blinks* I dunno, its too hot to think here anyway.

I misunderstood then, sorry.

i just re-read my post and i sounded like an asshole. i just love trent reznor so much...

OMG Kagen, come here so I can belt you around a lil...you said asshole???

I'm sorry, Kagen, but... I feel nothing but loathing for NIN/Trent Reznor. NIN practically embodies the angst-sludge I despise in modern music.

modern? its been around for 20 years. its really beautiful music. its not heavy or dark. its very emotional yet industrial

See, its not as modern as, say, Green Day, but I find NIN indistinguishable from the multitude of other (to overuse a phrase) angst-sludge bands.

And when I hear industrial, I don't see a bunch of pale rockers in dark clothes etc, I get more of a... Dire Straits vibe. Industrial implies industry, which implies the working man. Listen to Industrial Disease or Money for Nothing by Dire Straits. That, to me, is industrial.

But anyway, yeah. NIN. I don't like them. Too angsty and... straightforward(?) for me. Maybe thats not the word. Something like that.
