So, what music you the WMMers like most? I don't know many styles so forgive me if you bleedingly obvious style isn't here. Please list in thread

Also, I would like to knows any songs that are moving and sad 'cause I can only think of 4

- Mad world
- Yesterday
- Comfortably Numb
- Cat's in the Cradle

Does anyone know what I mean?

Room of Angel - Akira Yamaoka

Of those categories I selected classical (it's what's on right now) but most of my tastes are along the lines of instrumental/space/ambient/trance/techno/whatever. Weird stuff that they never play on the radio.

However, I do like a lot of "normal" stuff, and since you asked for sad songs here's what I found in my collection:

* "Dust in the Wind", Kansas
* "Elle G", The Newsboys (It's a Christian song, but not blatantly) :P
* "Slip Slidin' Away", Paul Simon
* For that matter, nearly anything by Simon & Garfunkel ("The Dangling Conversation" always makes me cry; also "Patterns", "I am a Rock", "A Hazy Shade of Winter")
* Anything by Jackson Browne ("The Pretender", "Doctor My Eyes", "Running on Empty", etc)
* "Long Long Way to Go", Phil Collins
* "White Flag", Dido
* "Split Screen Sadness", John Mayer
* Anything by Alanis Morssette, esp. "The Couch" and "Forgive Me Love"

At least half of those songs make me cry (so I tend not to listen to them all that often).

Mallic, lately I've been listenning mainly to outsider music (i.e. Daniel Johnston, Wesley Willis, Sexton Ming, Jandek), but I voted for punk because that's what I grew up with when I was in my teens oh-so-many years ago.

As for the what I can reccomend that is sad and moving, of all my albums (about 1000) that I would consider would be Lou Reed's "Berlin." The whole album has this depressing air about it.

I chose Jazz, but My tastes are all over the place, even the stuff that Jacara likes. I hate country and Rap.

Speaking of moving songs, one I like is "You've got a Friend" by Carole King.
it reminds me of my family.

Let me erase those pesky memories

Same, I REALLY hate rap. It's like that sence in Family Guy.

Police Dispatcher: Shots in warehouse, Three dead, one wounded.

Brian: Is it just me, or is rap music just getting lazier?

...

The most moving song I can think of right now is on Nirvana's unplugged-album: The Man who sold the World, originally by David Bowie.

Bands I like: Tool, Meshuggah, Faith No More, Isis, The Beatles



---Edit: One more song and one another band: The song is REM's "Losing my Religion" and the Band I forgot to mention earlier is Interpol.

Have a look at Amazon for samples and snippets to have an idea what the bands and songs sound like in case you don't know them...

Me too, I'm still in Beatlemania

Theres that horribly depressing REM-Everybody Hurts

Makes me want to kill myself.

At the moment I mostly listen to trance, trip hop and ambient music.
Some rock now and again a little indie. But not as much as I used to.

No Woman No Cry is kinda moving aint quite sad though...

Red Hot Chilli Peppers-Under the Bridge- that is amazing, moving too.

A few of my favourite sad songs:

System of a Down - Soldier Side
System of a Down - She's Like Heroin
Nirvana - You Know You're Right
Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart
Interpol - Evil
Radiohead - Creep
Radiohead - High and Dry
REM - Losing my Religion (actually the only REM song I can stand)
Anything by Opeth (though if you are not a metal fan, I can only reccommend their Damnation album)
Adagio for Strings (Not really a song as such but still a very sad, beautiful piece of music)


You might have guessed from my song choices that I am mostly into rock and metal music but I can also listen to and enjoy pretty much everything else as long as it isn't RnB or rap
