What's the best song of this century so far, in your opinion?

I'm gonna have to go with... "Talk" by Coldplay.

Now the difficult choice, which version of Talk, the final or the "beta"? :(

My favorites so far are Superman by Five for fighting, and Fix You (Lights Will Guide You Home) by coldplay.

Fix You is a good song

I'm gonna have to go with... "Talk" by Coldplay.


You're kidding.

I'd nominate a couple based on my personal tastes, and depending on my mood at the time -

"I Swallowed Hard, Like I Understood" by 65daysofstatic, "Funeralopolis" by Electric Wizard (depending how strict you are on "this century", it was from 2000), and "Drought" by Pelican.

You're kidding.

No, I'm not. An opinion can't be wrong. Unless said opinion involves rap or hip-hop.

"La La" by Ashlee Simpson

Yes, I'm kidding.

No, I'm not. An opinion can't be wrong. Unless said opinion involves rap or hip-hop.

Or coldplay..

Cassandra Gemini by The Mars Volta.

Trilby63;11787696']Or coldplay..

If you don't think Coldplay is a good band, there is something fucking WRONG with you. Clocks, Talk, Fix You, Speed of Sound, a couple of other that don't come to mind right now...

Hmm... probably something by Willy Mason (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willy_Mason). Or maybe I'm Not Sorry by Morrissey.

Coldplay is probably the most overrated band of the decade (so far, anyway).

Puhlease.. it's whiney crap..

The fact that they all sound interchangably the same is somewhat obnoxious. I'd go with Unwritten Law "Save Me".

Quality act compared to coldplay

No, I'm not. An opinion can't be wrong. Unless said opinion involves rap or hip-hop.

Aw jeez. *holds hand to forehead* And how much hip hop have you sat down and listened to?

Anyway, i'm not attempting to force my own musical tastes on you, I just don't happen to enjoy elevator music much. Sorry. Good on you if you do.

Well, there goes your opinion out the window.

Aw jeez. *holds hand to forehead* And how much hip hop have you sat down and listened to?

I outgrew it about Year 10. How old are you, anyway?

I outgrew it about Year 10.

I'll bet any money that what you were listening to was poppy crap.

I outgrew it about Year 10.

Hip hop is generally incredibly bad. Although i would like to mention two notable exceptions in Australian groups The Herd, and Hilltop Hoods.

Although i wouldnt put either group down for having recorded 'song of the centuy' i do thoroughly enjoy their music.

The only recent hip-hop that I've liked was the World Cup raps from the German group Blumentopf.

Well, there goes your opinion out the window.

But you like coldplay!

You're in absolutely no position to judge anyone. You could have said Celine Dion and still have more credibility.

I don't know the Herd, but I don't care much for the Hilltop Hoods (but i've only heard them live, at Big Day Out, so meh.).

Well, since he named someone who is clearly a comedian, I can judge that.

And besides, the Grammys and Rolling Stones magazine are on my side.

And... Celine Dion? She, sir, is worse than Hitler. :p

"Seventeen Years" by Ratatat.

i would say anything by the ska-punk outfit operation Ivy because of the way they write all the lyrics were written by an 18 year old dude who became a buddhist monk after he quit the band when they broke up in 1989:)

I believe you now owe me money.

Well, there goes your opinion out the window.

Of course just dismiss dissenting opinions … specially ones made in jest…

Why did you not just ask for opinions on songs from bands or genres you like, maybe give us a list to pick from instead

If you want an honest opinion rather then my semi joking one I think Vermilion Part 2 by slipknot is up there

i would say anything by the ska-punk outfit operation Ivy because of the way they write all the lyrics were written by an 18 year old dude who became a buddhist monk after he quit the band when they broke up in 1989:)

Operation Ivy was sweet. :cool:

If I can't pick up expressions IRL, I sure as hell can't do it here.

Why did you not just ask for opinions on songs from bands or genres you like, maybe give us a list to pick from instead

Because I want opinions, and I didn't particularly want anybody attacking anybody else's opinion.

I don't know the Herd, but I don't care much for the Hilltop Hoods (but i've only heard them live, at Big Day Out, so meh.).

Either way i'd rate them above coldplay. All personal opinion of course. But i find it hard to form an accurate opinion about something i cant stay awake through.

Operation Ivy was sweet. :cool:

yeah they were and still are but the clash have to be up there along with the ramones as some of the best writers

Either way i'd rate them above coldplay.

Me too, probably.

Why do I get the feeling that if I made a topic titled "Genocide is bad," everyone in NSG would grab the Zyklon B and hop to it?

yeah they were and still are but the clash have to be up there along with the ramones as some of the best writers


The Clash I'll give you, but the Ramones? Yeah, they were pioneers of the punk genre (in terms of it gaining any semblance of popularity) -- at least in the US -- but meh. Far too simplistic. Besides, if we're talking US bands, let's not count out the Stooges who were around before the Ramones.

What's the best song of this century so far, in your opinion?

I definately wouldn't say talk, if it was a coldplay song it would definately be trouble (assuming that was realesed this centruy).

yeah iggy was good what about the dead kennedys and blondie bad brains and them? theyre good also

Why do I get the feeling that if I made a topic titled "Genocide is bad," everyone in NSG would grab the Zyklon B and hop to it?

Well, one thing i've noticed on my time on NS is that most people here with any interest in music tend to have tastes fairly removed from the mainstream. Too bad you picked Coldplay. :p

Coldplay is probably the most overrated band of the decade (so far, anyway).

They may be overhyped, but no man has even come close to the song writing skills of Chris Martin in the last decade or so.

Yeah I thought I was being a bit too forward with my choice of slipknot

My personal local favorite is A strangers anthem by games of may

Well, one thing i've noticed on my time on NS is that most people here with any interest in music tend to have tastes fairly removed from the mainstream. Too bad you picked Coldplay. :p

Well, maybe it's just where I live, but here, Coldplay is removed from the mainstream.

Well, maybe it's just where I live, but here, Coldplay is removed from the mainstream.

Must be, they play them like every 5 seconds around here … and I live in a town of less then 1000 people in the middle of farming country Minnesota … hickville

yeah iggy was good what about the dead kennedys and blondie bad brains and them? theyre good also

Iggy was good? Iggy was awesome! DK and Bad Brains? Also awesome. Blondie, though, was too torn between wanting to be a disco or pop band to ever really amount to anything.

Funny, though, that you bring up Bad Brains but don't mention bands like Black Flag or Suicidal Tendencies, or, given your punk-ska bend, bands like the Toasters or Fishbone... ;)

How so?

You have obviously never been to a coldplay concert, one of the best I have ever been to :cool:

Tell you what, evil TPF gets a vote too.

Ich Will, or Feuer Frei, both by Rammstein. Hard to choose.

i beg your pardon. I MUST have misheard. Please tell me i did.

Care to prove me and the vast amount of critics wrong?

along the lines of ska what about Rancid i know they arent punk but the beatles were the best band ever anyone who dissagrees is a ignorant person they changed the face of music eve rap and hip-hop

How so?

Man, I live in fucking St.Albans. It's rap this, hip-hop that, 50 Cent this, Chamillionaire that... fucking drug addicts.

You have obviously never been to a coldplay concert, one of the best I have ever been to :cool:

Well they couldn’t very well be worse then their recorded stuff :p

Anyways tool is the best band I have been to in concert

Ich Will, or Feuer Frei, both by Rammstein. Hard to choose.

I liked Feuer Frei, but I liked Mutter better.

Now thoes are some quality choices!

Yeah, Chris Martin is a pretty good surrealist writer (at least, it's surrealist to me).

Remember you can't spell Crap without Rap.

You need to go to more concerts apparently.

I saw REM in manchester it was great ahh the smell of weed and drunk gay guys hitting on me what fun im only like 17 so it was scary:mad:

I am a big fan of the band thrice and if you are a rock fan and have not listened to them I suggest you do so now. Any song on any of their albums is quality, but for best song Id go with the artist in the ambulence

Before I die, I wanna go to a Rammstein concert. It's not a concert, it's fucking adventure.

OK, but i'd hardly consider that environment the mainstream. I'm talking general sales figures, etc. (I see Coldplay's music as being targeted towards the lowest common denominator, but that's just me.)

I assure I have been and played in many concerts.

Bad ones, though, it seems.

Save Me by Aimee Mann:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KljyTAUOh7Y

Best... song... ever, mainly because it's deeply personal to me. And yeah it first debuted in December 1999 but was not released on an album until the beginning of January 2000 so I'm classing it as 21st century.

I think when you hear something in the charts over and over again you become sick of it. Especially when the crap is so mediocre. It happened to me with coldplay, until I went to one of their concerts and was converted.

I'm going to make a rap video, it'll have high end cars, nearly naked women who have more silicon parts than all of Tokyo's computers combined, and just for added class I'll feature bottles of Cristal and wave around block of cash! It'll be artistic and original!

Current rap is horrifyingly bad. Though it's never been a genre I liked particularly.

I saw REM when I was 17, too. But then, that was 17 years ago. Now THAT'S scary! :D

While I thought "Parachutes" do be a brilliant album, I will have to agree that everything Coldplay has done since has been highly overrated. Their reliance on the 6/8 time signature makes their newer material extremely repetitious.

There are several tracks by Beck, Audioslave, and perhaps The Flaming Lips that are deserving of the title.

Chris Clark - Dusk Swells, 65daysofstatic - Radio Protector (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkzCi5mHvkc) (and live (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb30gTTH-3w)), Up-c Down-c Left-c Right-c abc+start - Sadako's Fury.

Some of my favourites, anyway.

I would have to say "Don't Stay", by Linkin Park, or maybe "Jesus of Suburbia", by Green Day. The only even partially good music mentioned on this thread is "Vermillion". I don't like Coldplay very much, but "Speed of Sound" isn't bad.

If you don't think Coldplay is a good band, there is something fucking WRONG with you. Clocks, Talk, Fix You, Speed of Sound, a couple of other that don't come to mind right now...

There may be something wrong with me, but at least I'm not a pussy coldplay fan.

Remember you can't spell Crap without Rap.

How easy it is to criticize when you only hear the pop eMpTyV versions of Rap. I'll bet you've never listened to Rakim, with or without Eric B., or to old Wu Tang. Your opinion of Rap is probably shaped by Puffy or some such other poseur.

I've been to all sorts, from ska punk to heavy metal. From Radiohead to Beastie Boys.

Radiohead sucks too.

At least I'm not a pussy coldplay fan.

Their music has been described as songs you and your grandmother can enjoy. It's weak. It's got no edge. It's uninteresting. It's for pussies.

Thats tough to decide, since I can't think of very many.


I'd have to say that Alone I Break by Korn, or Coming Undone by the same artist are very good.

So you think that anyone who likes coldplay is a "pussy".

I never said that. It's just one symptom of pussyhood. You aren't necessarily sick with flu just because you have a fever, but you might be. You're not necessarily a pussy if you listen to coldplay, but you've got one of the symptoms.

It wasn't suppost to be.

Ok … well I do think that those that like cold play may need to further develop their music tastes … this supposed “deep” pop rock really does not appeal to me whatsoever.

I really can't imagine granparents enjoying coldplay. It's not weak, their old stuff was incredibly original with very advanced song writing techniques, they don't just use the same bland old harmonies but riffs that get stuck in your head for weaks. While other bands were mainly composed of ideas from other bands, coldplay were completely revolutional and set a new genre. If you see them live in concert, it's like seeing a really amazing film but having the experiance multiplied by 10000: unpredictable and intense and a crazy experience.

I will say however, their new stuff is shit and Chris Martin is a bit of a ****. Maybe you've only heard their new stuff?

Oh and Radiohead are amazing.

Ok … well I do think that those that like cold play may need to further develop their music tastes … this supposed “deep” pop rock really does not appeal to me whatsoever.

I don't know what to say, I could explain why they are so great musicly in a more complicated way but it would make me sound like a pretentious fuck (and the band too).

They have some of the best Bass Guitar work of the age, next to Tool's Sober, which does have the best use of Bass I've ever heard.

I understand it … I understand musicality I enjoy a large variety of music from classical instrumental to mushroomhead but I don’t find their music to be enjoyable nor interesting.

Though I have hated them sense parachutes … may be tinting my view of them but that style of music would never have been my favorite anyways (god I hated yellow)

I used to hate coldplay. I absolutely despised them and I can understand how they could seem boring or repetative. That is untill I reluctantly saw them.

Any given song off of the new TooL cd.

"Wir sitzen hier..."

Angelic Upstarts - You're Nicked! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wk5t1E4Kiz0)

Curasbun Oi! - Cancion Skinhead (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvyMgUS3fKk)

Molokoi! - Midnight Train (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwDd0WQlIuI)

Pilsner Boyz - Skins (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZUw5s4oTSg&NR)

Discipline - Everywhere We Go (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EX1jgCkHXjo&NR)

The Oppressed - Skinhead Times (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeRCO9Cn35M)

Just too many... Youth by The Blitz or I'm an Upstart by Angelic Upstarts are prolly my favorites

The very song that inspired Tenacious D to write Tribute (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aytaDVMlTlE).

What's the best song of this century so far, in your opinion?

I'm gonna have to go with... "Talk" by Coldplay.

Now the difficult choice, which version of Talk, the final or the "beta"? :(

"The Dee Dee Dee Song"
-Carlos Mencia :p

Tee hee, Coldplay. Kinda makes me want to vomit.

Anyway, seeing as there's no noteworthy Jazz yet this century...I'll nominate Regina Spektor's "Us."

Bikini Bottom by Electrocute.

I'll say "Parabol/Parabola" by Tool.

Wish you were here, Pink Floyd.

Anyway, seeing as there's no noteworthy Jazz yet this century...

Pfft. There's the group Bohren and Der Club of Gore.

Funny, though, that you bring up Bad Brains but don't mention bands like Black Flag or Suicidal Tendencies, or, given your punk-ska bend, bands like the Toasters or Fishbone... ;)And you fail to mention The New York Dolls.

As for the original question, I'm gonna go with "God's Away On Business" by Tom Waits.

I got Live aus Berlin yestreday.
I saw the concert on tv 7 years ago.
