I am constantly amazed by the great music that the people on this forum create. The qulaity level is MUCH higher than on other musician recording sites that I visit. The quality of the SONGS and well as the mixing is what makes this forum a great place to be. It's impossible to pick the best song I have heard here as I haven't heard ALL of them in any case. Musical taste is very personal so everyone will have a different perspective on what they think is the best.

All I can say is keep making great music and posting it here. In the menatime check out some tracks from my new album HERE and see how it compares with your favourite so far

The other thing that is great about this forum is the people who are always willing to listen and give some feedback, many other sites are full of people posting songs and no-one bothering to comment. Thanks to everyone who has commented on my work over the last few years, its appreciated.

Cheers!

This one tells it s story in a very visual and captivating style.
These may not be everybodies "best", but they grab me, no matter how many times I listen to them.

Thanks Robert I couldn't find the link as I downloaded the song when Dan posted it. But that is sure one of my 'Favourites'.

Robby, I said what I meant to say in the post where I replied before this one. I'm not leaving, I ain't going nowhere. If the mods wanna remove me for not liking my opinion, or if somebody doesn't like me then that's fine. Whatever. I happen to like your comedy. I just felt it wasn't called for in this thread to keep the subject serious and accurate. JMO


I think a lot of times my post are taken too seriously to be honest with you. Those are my opinions and everybody seems to get their feathers ruffled when I say anything they don't like. I like everybody on these forums and I am being honest. I will always be honest regardless of what it might cost me. I'm not gonna apologize anymore for anything I say because that would make me a liar for one, and second I'm really tired of it. BTW : Like it or not, I really do like your comic remarks, and your singing and music, you would be on the top of the list if I were to make a list as to who's the best, or who has the best song that is. I just don't like the content of the thread. I'm sure someone is gonna reply and say : "Well just don't read the thread" : "Whoever says that would be making a segregated remark towards me and many others by saying that, so please don't say that whoever might be thinking about saying that", for one thing it would be a serious insult to many others than JUST me. Flame me all you want if it makes you feel better. Ok, I've said enough. That's my 1/2 cent's worth.

Best song ever on the song forums?

are you kidding me?

have you been here since the first day cakewalk started this site?

Have you listened to every song ever posted?

did you listen more than once?

Answer: NO

Come on Peeeeeeeples

And
Just for Fun
A tune -----hear the melody ......

Sunshine go away today
I don't feel much like dancin......

I couldn't agree more! This is something I have been trying to point out. Where are the rules for this? I mean let's say somebody doesn't like Metal does that mean a Metal song is outa consideration? How do you keep this accurate HONEST? Maybe they should break this down into different Genre's of music, but I have a problem with that because there are hybrid versions in every type of music out there that you can't define as one or the other. Besides I don't think in terms of Genre's anymore because it make you far too limited when you are trying to create noise. JMO

Like I said in a previous post : "The thread should have been started by saying something more appropriate like ' WHICH SONG DO YOU LIKE BEST ' ". Instead of making a contest outa everybody's songs. JMO

Here's the thing, everybody thinks I am being hateful and mean by simply "Telling the truth". I would be hateful and mean by not telling the truth with my opinions and thoughts on the subject if that were my intention which it is not.

I'm not gonna apologize anymore for anything I say because that would make me a liar for one,

hi freeze, you don`t have to stop apologizing, it does not mean you were a liar other than you maybe just didn`t understand something
that was written and we all do that, so when you actually figure out that you misunderstood something apologizing is good for your soul
and lets people know that you have one, don`t get yourself so stressed over other peoples opinions they are only that "OPINIONS"
"Think of it this way if you want to write an angry song read those posts that pissed you off to get you in the mood and vice-versa LOL"

I'M THROWING A FLAG! SHAMELESS SELF PROMOTION!! 15 YARDS AND LOSS OF DOWN! LOL

I just don't get it. I mean I was having a relaxing morning, I woke up and got my " 1 " cup of coffee that I allow myself to have on saturdays and sometimes sundays only because I really don't like anything with caffeine in it because that can be addictive. Anyway, I woke up this morning and got my one cup of coffee and was relaxing in front of the computer listening to KoRn's song "Make Me Bad" and then I read this thread and replied.

What'd I do wrong??? I don't get it..............

People of Earth, what is music if not a popularity contest? What is it "exactly?" By definition, can a recording artist survive, be paid, tour? etc. if their music is not popular and enjoyed by enough people to allow them to be gainfully employed at it? What "exactly" is wrong with having some music that people enjoy (on a percentage basis) more than other music? That's not saying any anything against what someone else is doing? If I make a recording of myself farting to a drum track, and it is panned or largely ignored, should I be indignant? I do have the right, but “is it right?”

Should I feel that my "art" was not treated fairly because there was some hidden popularity contest that I did not win? Please note, you cannot spell fart without art.

Isn't this "by definition" the way life works? Almost everything is subjective, and what's good, or even best is determined by the masses? How else would they be able to give out awards at the Academy Awards? I tend to shy away from the feel good, let's not keep score kids, it's how you play the game mentality. I see nothing (read "nothing") wrong with competition, nor having an opinion as to what is good, better, or best. While at the same time, taking nothing (read "nothing") away from others who's art is either not mentioned, it will be preferred by some, if not most.

It is a "live and let live" mentality, and what could be better than that?

Please look for said gaseous release to be fourth coming, it will be entitled the flatulent flamenco. I’ll expect all contributors discouraging posting of ones vote for a favorite tune (regardless of how long they’ve been participating on the forum) to;

a) listen (with eager anticipation for each release)

b) comment (on tonal qualities of each release, moisture content, vibrato, etc…)

c) And finally to purchase or at least download a copy of this fluctuant flamenco.

Please hold your applauses till the end, and for the safety of all involved, if I am given to a live performance at any point in the future, PLEASE do not stand and hold up your lighter in appreciation and respect of what will no doubt be a new standard in poop music which will go down in the anals of performance “art”. And As discussed, my “art” must be given the same appreciation, the same respect, the same plays as anything performed by anyone else, otherwise, it’s just a poopularity contest, right?

I am +1 with Robby on this thread. I don't view it as a pop contest. I just want to check out what other people consider good that I may have missed.

As for my humble opinion, I like the sound and feel that Ken Wilson has: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=427899

Thanks for starting this thread Robby, you goofy cat!

robby you are awesome.

I don't think its fare to other poster on the forum to give Robby three smiley faces. There are others that deserve three smiley faces and you could hurt their feeling if they read your post. I think everyone needs to stop posting smiley faces because who can say one person deserves more smiley faces than another.

i agree with your humble opinion, and, at the risk of pointing out a truly gifted musician, for which we apparently should all be ashamed, i would add that kenny's work exudes some of the best musicianship i've run across on this forums. whatever the recording process does to the rest of us doesn't seem to affect his ability to translate ideas into music. my two favorites are:

"she was once a friend to me"
http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=427899&songID=3313414

and

"delta dog blues"

that deserves four smiley faces

ok but only one

Freeze1st: BTW : Not to be nice, I really like the severed album sampler song, that one would be in my top ten if I were to make a list. Great work!

Thanks!! Always nice to know someone likes the music!

Just thought I would mention that we aren't so stupid we need for you to define how we should think. We being I ain't the only one in this thread that feels what I am saying, I'm just the one that ain't worried about the responses for replying what I think.

THE DIFFERENCE IS : "This ain't no record company, I have seen very few on here in this for the MONEY or especially trying to be POPULAR", you are putting those that never asked to be in that category into something that could cause them a lot of grief. To crown a king or queen is just gonna tick somebody off and hurt somebodies feelings. If you would simply start a post saying "Which song do you like the best", I would have no problem with it whatsoever.

Reverting to comedy to make fun of somebody is no different than telling someone to kiss your azz and go burn in hell!!!!!!!! JMO Same thing......
