Your Favourite "Unusual" Tunes.

[Quindiana Jones]

I wanna know your favourite tunes. But I don't care about the usual "I liek Queen/Linkin Park/various other famous people" tunes. I wanna know about the ones that can't be found on the music channels. :D

I can think of two for me right now. "Montagues and Capulets" (http://www.charleslatshaw.com/media/prokI.mov) by Prokofiev, and "Don Abandons Alice" (http://youtube.com/watch?v=yXDZzcw-0J8). I like plenty of other "random" pieces of music, but these two are my current obsession.

Tell me yours.

Beauty and Kittens - Panda Attack (http://www.latibulum.com/mictlan/pandaattack/pandaattack_beautyandkittens.mp3)

[Caraliz]

you should listen to man man. they are insanely good. my favorite songs by them are "van helsing boombox" and "spider cider" :jess:

you should also look into getting a last.fm; they have lots of recommendations and other stuff, if you like music that is. I adore music, so I of course have one. :D

[NeoCracker]

I've never heard this one on American Radio or Television before.

YouTube - Kamelot - Center Of The Universe (Live) (http://youtube.com/watch?v=GOVW9GezQ0k)

Can't be sure about you Britts though, since it's a european band and all.

[Ramza Beoulve]

Well, Ágora (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5c3_QiGynU). They aren't well known here in México, less in other countries, but I love the music they do. It's real mexican music, not that smurfing RBD or smurfing Panda.

[Strawberry_Mew]

I like alot of Gackts music lol I even ordered a CD online lol

Wow, that Mario in Minor rocks hard.

AZ - The Format (http://youtube.com/watch?v=hl9NzwTZwXs)

He's a decently well known rapper but, not mainstream by any means. You'd never find him on a radio station or MTV. He's been around forever and is amazing but noone buys his records :( not enough promotion imo.

[IronOcean]

Oxford - Vampire Weekend

[Aerith's Knight]

Believe - Tsubara na hitomi

[Momiji]

I find 'Lonely Rolling Star' from Katamari Damacy to be very catchy.

[Karellen]

As far as unusual goes... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHqy0n_VQJc)

[Bloodline666]

I would have to hit the musical way-back machine and go with Razor - Evil Invaders. I don't know if it got any MTV airplay at all back in the day (except the obvious Headbangers Ball, and even then, thrash bands had trouble getting their stuff played on there)


And just now, I discovered this band from the UK called Evile. I discovered them through the fact that they are touring with one of my favorite bands. This song is the title track to their debut album, "Enter The Grave" (which was released about a few months ago). (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrZvBlk4PL8)
