you know those songs where you just sit back and think 'wow'? name your most Awe inspiring song hl2.net!


mine would be year zero by nine inch nails and tool - third eye

post away!
 
The Way - Fastball. Makes me want to go play Soccer(which I play a lot).
Live To Win - Paul Stanley. Incredibly motivational music.
 
"Ziggomatic 17" by Aphex Twin has always blown my mind.
 
coldplay clocks

never before did i here such an incredible song..
 
In The Name of God - Dream Theater

Horizons - Steve Hackett(Genesis)

Acid Rain - Liquid Tension Experiment
 
We're In This Together by NIN.

Whitewater by BoC.
 
Nothing Else Matters Metallica with the full orchestra, or even better, Beethoven's Symphony number 9 3rd movement, I love that,
 
^^agreed

But it simply HAS to be:

The Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony.

Possibly THE most universally loved song? Heh, its still in the charts in South Africa for god sake(...but theyre behind over there ill admit :()
 
Air - All I Need

There is no competition.
 
You know, topics like this always annoy the shit out of me. I should probably just steer away from them.

Because you're an arrogant kinda guy that disagrees with everyone? Yeah, stay the f*** out. Your opinions mean jack shit to me, too.
 
*tries to calm the situation by mooning everyone*

but anyway, i LOVE these 2 songs by Massive Attack, they really make me sit back and think 'wow, that was a ***king great song' everytime:

Dissolved Girl (Can be heard on The Matrix when Neo is asleep at his computer):

Beat me to it.

And, to stay on topic, Sublime - Badfish.

Muscle Museum - Muse
'nuff said
 
Incase you guys didn't like my last submission, don't even try to tell me this isn't an incredible song.

I've never even watched the video...I'm not impressed though :(

The song though...oh god :D

edit: ok he is making out with a dog; video revived.

Aww... You angry at me too because I don't tone down my language for your sensitive eyes? :(

No, not really. I'm quite argumentative myself, and I don't see why you should tone anything down if you don't want to, even if I would. But I'll be damned if that isn't why these threads annoy you, :p.

Anyway, this thread needs moar Queen.
 
Coldplay - Politik

I HATE Coldplay btw, but my friend played this on my comp yesterday, and I was really suprised how good of a song it was

Also, Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat - Bob Dylan, off "The Bootleg Series" it's much more slowed down, sounds like a BB King jam, really good
 
Life Is Pain, Super Tuesday or One Dead Cop by Leftover Crack. All three of those songs make me want to sing, and jump about, and throw a molotov cocktail through the nearest Starbucks. Rawr.

Also the Dropkick Murphys version of Fields of Athenry, and Drunken Lullabies by Flogging Molly.
 
Anything by A Silver Mt. Zion, notably the opening 3 tracks on He Has Left Us Alone... but I really can't be arsed typing them out as they are long.
 
There can only be two:

There Is A Light That Never Goes Out - The Smiths


Lover, You Should Have Come Over - Jeff Buckley
 
Most tracks from Conjure One are amazing, but the rare chill out mixes from Solarstone (and others) are just sublime... if you close your eyes and listen, they take you to another state of consciousness. I've uploaded an example here. Don't skip any of it, you'll just ruin it. Oh, and turn the bass up!
 
Everything on Falkenbach's Heralding the Fireblade album, and anything by Heather Dale.

Their music is quite epic.
 
Even though it came out in '72 "T" Plays it Cool (Marvin Gaye) sounds like it could have been made today.
 
Pixies - Where is my Mind?

Turn it up loud for the solo and the chorus afterwards is wow.

Heh, that tune reminds me of my college days ... I had it playing constantly on repeat as I did 2 years worth of work in one week of no sleep and solid work.
And I passed! :LOL:

<3 fight club also.
