I tried this on another forum and it turned out well, here's how it goes! Everyone post one song at a time that you would recommend. Try to keep it..not exactly mainstream, but it doesn't matter that much.

I'll get it started! Post as many times as you wish.

Ugly Kid Joe - Cats In The Cradle

Definetly one of my top ten favorite songs.

is that just a cover of the harry chapin song? the original is a classic, haven't heard that cover.

don't know how mainstream this isn't, but..
sparklehorse - sea of teeth (link is a sample, not sure if it'll work with firefox)

i have a strange affinity for slow, solemn, sad music :) sparklehorse is often described as "american gothic". considering how many people on these boards like punk and metal, it'll probably drive you all batty, which is why i recommend it :devil:
 
hmm...it must be a cover I guess :o

I like the cover more.

Come on guys! Keep it going....

Really interesting Norwegian band. Blends heavy stuff with norse mythology. Not metal, but more rock-ish.

If you want to kazee (verbal for using kazaa) the tune just type "a" isntead of "å". It might work.

And he said like this right here now ..."
