If you get to post Katy Perry doing dubstep, I get to post the greatest parody of all times

Yeah.... But.... At least I said sorry.

I see your the Lonely Island and raise you Weird Al.

Hard to beat that one.

Is this a veiled attempt to get the thread back on topic?

Yeah it was ! But I should have posted something amusing to "stay in the mood" ! Maybe later !

Been wanting to post some retro stuff for ages btw , there's so much from the Stones , The Who and the Fab Four that I could put up .

We might get 'Wyl' back with us if that happens .

Cheers JJ and here's one of my favourite Beatles songs - .

In the true spirit of Eddie and the boys I'm not a huge music video fan (so why the hell am I posting here!), but I do like this one - it's a damn fine album too.

Edited February 15, 201213 yr by grazman

This is the 1st track from The Rolling Stones 1972 classic album "Exile on Main St" . A brilliant album and arguably their best . This song is underrated IMO . Slide show only .

Stay strong Macca. Keep fighting the good fight.

Can't say I've ever been a huge Stones fan. Having said that Gimme Shelter is up there as one of the all time great songs.

Yeah , with regards to the Stones , I was never a huge fan but did like quite a number of their songs . But after discovering "Exile on Main St" ( 1972 ) and "Sticky Fingers" ( their 1971 album ) my opinion has changed a lot . Stones at their best - earthy , great driving rock n roll . And I reckon it stands up more than well . Their use of a fair bit of brass was in some ways quite unique .

I now have a way more open mind to all sorts of rock ( and jazz of course ) whereas quite a few people I know have gone the other way . It's all about embracing the new ( within reason ) and retro IMO .

I'd like to explore a few more bands from the 60's and 70's . More your classic bands such as The Who . Moody Blues , Led Zeppelin , Deep Purple and the like . I know a lot of their hits buts it's their other stuff I'd like to explore .

Btw , I'm right into the Stone Temple Pilots thanks to your good self .

Cheers JJ

A kick arse song from one of the Albums of 2011 (for me anyway) and I love the video because I think it's taking the [censored] out of the entire industry and the obsession with turning music video's into hollywood blockbusters

Oh and Macca I agree. Exile on Main St is one of the all time great albums. Let it Bleed, Beggars Banquet Exile On Main Street and Sticky Fingers were a real high water mark for the Stones

Terrific choice and keep posting . Great to have you on board !

Suppose my whole idea of the music video is that it aids as a hook to get people to listen to a song . Btw , post anything you like video or no video . Lots of great rock doesn't have a music video . As I said , it's just a hook .

And I agree with you that it's the music that really counts but as a means to an end ....................

So far the thread has been angst free . My thoughts are that if people don't like , just scroll to something you do like . There should be something here for everyone ( for rock fans )

Cheers , Macca

Oh yes, love a bit of Audioslave (their first two albums anyway, the third was only so so).

I was so bummed out when they broke up.

I was listening to Led Zeppelin II last night whilst on a bit of a road trip. I'd forgotten how good that album was.

Bring It On Home was the perfect song to end the album. Love it.

I've posted a Stone Temple Pilots video before, but what can I say, they're fricken awesome.

I've recently been trying to get out of the habit of being a fat bastard and STP have got me through a few tough sessions.

The first song is from their album Tiny Music. It's probably a fairly underrated album, mainly due to Scott Weiland's drug issues at the time which restricted them from being able to properly promote/tour the album. This song was also the encore to their Melbourne concert last year.

The second song is from their Purple album. The album is probably best know for the song Interstate Love Song.

Edit: I can't embed the official clips. So there's a link to them instead.

Apologies in advance, I can't promise that I won't post more STP.

Edited March 8, 201213 yr by Jack Jack

Couple of classics there JJ from STP . I think you're right . All there songs offer something .

Here's a track from "Lacuna Coil" , an Italian gothic metal band (now there's a combination !)

This band have had some chart success and I just love bands with a female lead singer . Evanescence , Paramore , No Doubt and Flyleaf being amongst my favourites .

This song is one their hits . It did well in the US and the UK .

A couple from me:

Brian Setzer Orchestra (former Stray Cats foray into big band rockabilly - and these guys seriously rock! - imho of course):

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

The Fratellis "Henrietta" of their Costello Music CD... a fun band who, for some reason, remind me a little of Blur"

And a couple more...

One of my favourite Japanese bands The Blue Hearts and a song called "Linda Linda" (there is a rather good Japanese movie of the same name based around this song - about an all girl band in a high school talent show performing the same song). On a side note, a band I was in used to confuse pub patrons when we played this song:

And my favourite Radiohead song "Karma Police":
