Decided to start a new topic here, because sometimes it's not just about the best albums, but the best songs. And i decided to kick it off with this song:

Gotta confess that's the first time I've ever seen a Roman chariot powered by Harleys instead of horses.  Very much dig the 80's-era hippity-hop vibe no doubt nurtured by the presence of one of the godfathers of hip-hop, Kool Moe Dee.  Towards the end, whoever was singing through the credits sounded so much like Michael Jackson that I half expected his name in the credits.  Very trippy video!

In the Best Album thread, you shared a video of Steve Martin's banjo wizardry during a Letterman appearance with Earl Scruggs, a man who will forever be one of America's most beloved bluegrass artists.  It's also noteworthy that Steve Martin was inducted into the American Banjo Museum Hall of Fame last year.  Here's another tune by Steve with his bluegrass group the Steep Canyon Rangers performing on Letterman.  Those who dig gospel, bluegrass and a cappella harmonies might find this hymn most heavenly:

Tbh, i wasn't sure starting this thread was a good idea as having it all in one place (the best album thread) has some advantages. There are songs i like that doesn't have an album tho or where i don't like the rest of the album all that much, or just so-so.

With the Macklemore song i guess it was just as much about the video tho, but i do think he's a really good rapper and his lyrics and videos are nearly always funny and intelligent satire.

Never seen that Atheist Song @DippityDoo. Really funny, though i suspect not so much for religious people. I'm being unfair, i mean religious people of the intolerant, humourless kind. I suspect plenty of religious people would find this funny as well.

 
@PTFC Mentioned Depeche Mode so i'll post one of my favourite songs of theirs, tho there's a lot. How important a good stereo is varies from album to album, tho it always helps. With this song the high quality production makes a good stereo take a song that is already amazing to a whole new level.



 
I've decided to include a couple of great tracks from Pentatonix. Not sure if this was what @PTFC was talking about when he mentioned his distaste for classics getting an a capella version in the UK, but here goes:



 
Just follow the video more than the lyrics here, cause the lyrics are too fast to follow and the mussic video is amazing:

I agree. The US/Canada have produced The National, Arcade Fire, The White Stripes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, British alternative has dried up, unfortunately. :(

Not necessarily best songs but earlier this week I was listening to Father Christmas by Greg Lake of famed King Crimson and of course ELP. Come to find out he passed away yesterday of cancer at 69. So if you're a lover of Progressive rock and have some KC or ELP play it in Greg's honor he had an amazing voice. I'm listening to Lucky Man one of the truly great acoustic tunes ever.

RIP Greg you will be missed

 
"That's the Way of the World" - Earth, Wind & Fire.  I don't think you have to be my age to appreciate the timelessness of that song:

Hearts of fire creates love desireTake you high and higher to the world you belongHearts of fire creates love desireHigh and higher to your place on the throne

  15. L @ Layne_Cobain: @maoi thanks for the input tho I think I’d def go the route of using hcg if I do go w TrT
  16. L @ Layne_Cobain: @maoi nah no fear of needles and if it made me feel a lot better no fear of being on it long term as who knows if my t will even rebound after 5 years on methadone not sure if that’s the norm I hope so…the more I research the more it seems like the best choice is to just go for it with TrT rather than trying to “middle” with Enclomiphene especially now that i know it probably won’t work being on methadone altho I am tapering off 5 mg biweekly so that’ll take a while I’m at 95 now from 120
  17. moai @ moai: @Layne_Cobain the longer you’re on it without using HCG sometimes, (meaning years) the harder it will be to rebound if you do come off. But I’m with you, at only 22, I’ve abused myself to the point I may NEED trt. Not to mention all of the benefits
  18. moai @ moai: @Layne_Cobain You don’t seem it, but if you are the type that’s afraid of needles for life, don’t sweat it. I’m natty atm, but from what I hear A) you won’t want to come off and B) if you implement HCG every once in a while to your protocol, you have a better chance of being able to come off T completely and restore all (or most) of your natty production. Of course, no guarantees and it is dependent on the individual, genetics, compounds and duration of exposure, etc.
  19. L @ Layne_Cobain: @tiquanunderwood when you began the Enclomiphene, were you already off opiates? Cause after further research I don’t think it’ll even work while still on methadone…I think trt with hcg to preserve fertility and ball size is the way to go for me. I just wanna feel better. Thanks for your input on the matter btw
