Wumbo Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 As I've mentioned before, Mumford & Sons are one of my favourite new groups. They're fresh, original, and don't have to rely on the hideous demon known as autotune to make music. Little Lion Man - Mumford & Sons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumbo Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 Another great Canadian band: Big Wreck. The beginning of this song reminds me of Baba O'Riley, which is always a plus. The Oaf (My Luck Is Wasted) - Big Wreck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wumbo Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 All right, let's move away from Canadian rock... and into Canadian rap! Seriously though, this is one of my favourite rap songs. The first minute and a half of this is 10 times more clever than Lil Wayne could ever hope to be. And it just gets better from there...

Wumbo Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 Great, catchy song. It's the 90's, so it pretty much has to be. That Girl - Maxi Priest ft. Shaggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumbo Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 So in the 90's we had Lauryn Hill, and now we have Nicki Minaj. If this is evolution, I think we'll have chimpanzees rapping in the near future. Doo Wop (That Thing) - Lauryn Hill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumbo Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 Okay, here's a great current song. It's nice to know that we still have up-and-coming original groups like this one. Little Talks - Of Monsters And Men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumbo Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 If you asked me to pick my three favourite rappers, I'd pick MCA, Ad-Rock, and Mike D. Beastie Boys brought rock and rap together like no one had before, and their rhymes were always funky and their beats were always jumpin'. The best part was that they never took themselves too seriously in their music. RIP MCA, still missin' ya. So What'cha Want - Beastie Boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumbo Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 When we're talking East Coast vs. West Coast and all that jazz, I prefer West Coast rap for the most part. That doesn't mean East Coast doesn't do anything for me. For example, the aforementioned song "The Message" is from the east coast and so is The Notorious B.I.G. While I'd take 2Pac over Biggie any day, The Notorious B.I.G. is still good enough to include in this thread. Mo Money Mo Problems - The Notorious B.I.G. ft.

Wumbo Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 So I suppose it's no secret by now that the 90's are by far my favourite decade for music. I think what I like about this decade of music is the overall catchiness of the songs. Hell, even if a song was "Barbie Girl", people still play it it homecoming dances because it's a catchy song. But "Barbie Girl" sucks, so I won't get into that (signature notwithstanding). Instead, I'll post a song that's both catchy and good.

Wumbo Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 While this will definitely not be the last Aerosmith song to come up on here, this is a song that I only just recently heard and instantly fell in love with. If you don't love the line "don't give me no lip, I got enough of my own" coming from Steven Tyler, then you and I are two very different people.

Wumbo Posted October 20, 2012 Author Share Posted October 20, 2012 CSI: NY recently had an episode where all of the songs featured were Green Day's. With that in mind, it seems only fitting to post one of their Uno! singles. Kill The DJ - Green Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumbo Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 Maybe this isn't the best song lyrically, but it's damn catchy. Go Crazy - Mia Martina ft. Adrian Sina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumbo Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 Okay, so I'm a day late, judging by the title. Whatever. This song is so awesome it defies certain days of the week. Another Sunday - I Mother Earth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumbo Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Probably my favourite George Michael song. Not only is it ridiculously catchy, the video has some of the most gorgeous people of the early 90's. Freedom - George Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumbo Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 I don't really consider Green Day's "American Idiot" album to be political. It has like, two political songs. The title track and Holiday. The rest of the songs either stand on their own, or are part of the album's concept, dealing with a character named Jesus of Suburbia as he goes through disillusion, girlfriends, imaginary friends, loneliness, and the like. It's a fantastic album, and one of my favourites of all time. Here's a song that didn't get released as a single, but damn, it should've.

Wumbo Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 Okay, sorry that I'm going a little Green Day crazy. But I can't help it! Their songs keep getting stuck in my head, and for all the right reasons. Take this song for example. It's one of two 9-minute songs off the aforementioned American Idiot album, consisting of 5 parts. This one is notable because it's one of the few songs where Tré Cool does lead vocals (Rock and Roll Girlfriend). Anyway, enjoy.
