    What's the song that you think every person on this earth should listen to and why?

    I'm going to say "3 Libras" by A Perfect Circle. It's got a lovely intro, deep, beautiful lyrics and makes me feel very nostalgic. I haven't got any other reasons except I love this song so much. :D

    I can honestly say that my favorite song ever is "November Rain" by Guns N Roses. Everything about that song rocks. To me, it's a musical masterpiece.

    Excellent choice! One of my favourite songs too!

    My choice, after a lot of thought is Tool's 'Third Eye', almost 14 minutes long. First of all, like in APC, Maynard is such a good vocalist. In this song, he screams, whispers, and sings with such an emotional tone he would be my favourite vocalist if he had more range. The lyrics in this song are amazing too. Like 'Prying open my Third Eye'. The third eye is a metaphor meaning the mind, and Maynard wants to "open your mind" so you can explore new places.

    This track starts off with a comedian (Bill Hicks) with a joke, and a couple of other quotes (thought-provoking). All the while drummer Danny Carey lays down some sick atmospheric tom work. This eventually leads to a crazy drum beat and main riff/verse. After a really heavy part, guitarist Adam Jones leads a huge instrumental section with a really unique guitar solo that really displays his talent and creativity. Then comes a quiet part, with Danny doing this bass drum rhythm (a 'musical motif' in this song) with Maynard whispering some great lyrics: "Shrouding all the ground around me/There's this holy crow above me/Blackest holes within a memory". The next section features the amazing Bassist Justin Chancellor sliding up a string, then sliding down it for a really cool effect, and some really emotional vocals. It gets heavy for that 'Prying open...' part, with the same rhythm as the bass drum rhythm i was talking about. The heavyness fades away, with a repeating guitar riff, but if you want to get this part, focus on Danny's drumming:mind-blowing. Another verse, some great instrumental parts that builds up to the heavy 'Prying Open My Third Eye' thing again, fading out into cool guitar distortions and drum fills.....


    That took a long time, but its such an amazing track, thought-provoking and emotional! Any music fan has to d/l this track!

    Besides Linkin Park's Crawling, I'd have to say Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead. I just love the melody even if the lyrics don't really mean much.

    My favourite song, is 'Silence' by Blindside, because it perfectly describes how I feel about my girlfriend, all but one lyric about her being gone (although we did break up for a few months).
    Some day, if I get enough guts, I'll sing it to her because I want her to know how much that song means to me.
