This just popped into my brain machine. Mid-90s Irish group called Blink. Certainly sounds of its time.

If this was sung by nearly anyone else, I'd love it. Total 90s feel to the music (not to mention the video.) I really loved it musically have to say but as soon as his voice turned up, it ruined it for me. Didn't link well to my ears, shame.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑25 Jun 2019, 8:26pmI can definitely hear Cast.

I'm going with Motorhead and one of the most beautiful guitar solos I've heard. At first this just sounds like bog standard Motorhead, not bad but not mind blowing. All of a sudden the middle 8 kicks in, BANG! One perfect solo from Phil Campbell. Great stuff.

I dunno. The guitar solo kinda ruined the ZZ Top feel for me.BitterTom wrote: ↑29 Jun 2019, 4:06pmIf this was sung by nearly anyone else, I'd love it.

If you don't like this one, you'll probably still enjoy the video

Re: The Forced Listening Thread
I kind of enjoy listening to foreign language music when I'm at work because I find it less distracting and I don't really get on with instrumental albums. I liked that I have no idea when that song that recorded or released but I'd guess mid-90s. I got the same vibe I did when listening to the Cardigans (not that I think they sound that much alike) where I was hoping for them to give it bit more welly and turn the distortion up on the guitars.
Not sure I should post this because I'll be devastated if anyone hates it

Re: The Forced Listening Thread
I really like the song, it's got an almost hypnotic quality. Vocals are a bit Lucinda Williams-esque. Wouldn't go out of my way to seek out more from her though.oliver wrote: ↑29 Jun 2019, 9:42pmI kind of enjoy listening to foreign language music when I'm at work because I find it less distracting and I don't really get on with instrumental albums.

Oh well, that was really terrible. I bet Heston likes it.

Re: The Forced Listening Thread
Good groove, meaty guitar. Really enjoyed the music. Vocals warranted stronger vocals given the music, felt a little limp. Overall not bad.
I've gone for Rage Against the Machine, one of the most hit and miss bands out there. This is a hit however, simple, yet fantastic riff. The end of the solo going into the last chorus around 3:16 is staggering. Great rhythm and groove all round.
Re: The Forced Listening Thread
I'd agree with your assessment that RatM can go either way but when they hit, they hit hard. In saying that though I do remember hearing "Killing in the Name Of" for the first time and really expecting it to explode into something that never came - lyrically, you get everything you need from the first verse. Those guitar sounds though.... amazing.
I did like song but it inspires me to listen to the first album again rather than seek out whatever one it was from which is probably why I wrote more about Killing in the Name Of than New Millennium Homes

Re: The Forced Listening Thread
Someone, anyone, give this a go. It's a slow burner but one most beautiful song, bear with it, from 1:05 it gets tasty and smooth as fuck.

I prefer it before the vocals kick in but I am a sucker for piano music. My mum played piano so I was always listening to it as a kid.

Re: The Forced Listening Thread
Hahaha, I heard that tune when it was out and loved it. I searched for it for years when I first got the internet and eventually asked the guitar player on their MySpace page if it was available to buy on CD. He sent me an MP3 of it and I was fairly buzzing. Haven't heard it for ages, cheers mate!
