Lol what the heck... did someone seriously just list Jin "long winding Road"?
Ok some people might think I'm being a jerk or something, but the premise of this thread was "perfect songs". I get the whole Lupe Fiasco/Jin thing if you were just listing your personal favs. But come on. I understand it's all a matter of personal preference and all. I have nothing against rap. I listen to everything. That devil song was cool by Lupe, but it's nothing new... Stones were doing that in the 60s (glad someone mentioned "Sympathy for the Devil"). And Jin - Long winding road? Heh. I remember that dude freestyling on 106 and Park. Glad he's still around. But how do you list that song as "perfect". Might as well just go with the original Beatles version or something...
I'd have trouble adding to this thread unless it was just called "what's in your rotation right now". On my way to work I listened to "Interpol - Public Pervert",
Fiona Apple - "Not About Love"
Muse - "Take a Bow"
Ray Charles - "Night Time is the Right Time"
Charles Mingus (I think the song is called II B.S or something)
Jay Z - "U Don't Know"
Shins - "Sleeping Lessons"
and the Three Dog Night version of "Try a Little Tenderness"
I wouldn't call any of them perfect. Just random songs that were on my playlist. Some of you have some great taste in music though. Thanks for the heads up. It's sort of impossible to really weigh one piece of music over another though. It's all fantastic.
I'm not calling them perfect. Those are just songs that I like to listen to, and Jin is not my personal favorite at all. Lupe Fiasco is a very good rapper in my opinion, people just have the wrong feelings about him because of the way he hit mainstream.
AZ - The Format
Nas - Got Yourself A Gun
Tupac - Street Fame
Lupe Fiasco - Hip Hop Saved My Life
Jin - Long Winding Roads
Jin - Time Machine
Immortal Technique - Dance With The Devil(really weird song, but its so good at the same time)
Flipsyde - Happy Birthday
Three Days Grace - I Hate Everything About You
Joe Budden - Three Sides To A Story
Big L - Da Graveyard
Jedi Mind Tricks - Uncommon Valor: A Vietnam Story
These are the songs that I recently listened to and can't stop listening to it.
I listened to that song once. I will never again. That is probably the most disturbing song I have ever heard. And that I ever will here.
I get in a bad mood every time I even think about that song.
Yeah it disturbs me a bit too, but the way he tells the story is really good. Speaking of story telling another good song is this..
