Comment and I'll give you a letter. In your journal, list 10 of your favorite songs that begin with that letter.
I did the video link thing like Ivy because it was a good idea
1. Malleus Maleficarum - AFI
Although the live vids from a 1999 performance are spiffy, this features the song better. It's just the album cover. Seriously, though, check out the live version. I heard this song live in Feb, and it ROCKED!
2. Miseria Cantare: The Beginning - AFI
When I heard this on Sing the Sorrow after only being familiar with Girl's Not Grey, I was like "whoa...who are these guys and what the hell kind of album did I just buy??" Obviously, the word "fantastic" answers both questions:
3. Maybe - The Clarks
I love The Clarks! If I didn't have a prior engagement, I'd totally be at their free concert tonight (I may yet still). AND! The Clarks may indirectly be the reason I fell in love with AFI. I know. It makes sense in my head only :oD
4. Masquerade - Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera
"TO THE NEW CHANDELIER"!!! Ugh, it's definitely not the same with the speed-up at the end, and it's all f'ed up since they jacked with the chandelier scene. Plus, Gerard and Emmy are fine and pretty, but they're no Michael and Sarah. Still...love the song
5. Music of the Night - Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera.
Crawford and Brightman, baby, Crawford and Brightman
And holy curd, check out the 80's CHEESE!
6. Mad World - Gary Jules (orig. Tears for Fears)
All I can think of is Donnie Darko
7. MacArthur Park - Richard Harris
Yes, THAT Richard Harris. The late Richard Harris who was the original Dumbledore. This is like from the 60s.
"MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark/Oh the sweet, green icing flowing down/Someone left the cake out in the rain/I don't think I can take it/'Cause it took so long to bake it/And I'll never have the recipe again!/Oh NOOOOOOOOO!"
8. Magus' Theme - ChronoTrigger RPG
This game kicked so much bee-hind. It was great. There's YouTube video with 14+ minutes of a battle with Magus. Granted, they other player had a smarter team than this one since he/she had a magic user for every element except Shadow, but he/she played like a complete pansy. No wonder he/she took so long to defeat Magus. Just ignore the game noises and listen to the background. That's the theme.
9. Morrowind Theme - The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind RPG
If you get nauseated watching shaky videos, I suggest enjoying this with your eyes closed. I'm sure whoever shot this tried, but tis a bit bouncy.
10. Money for Nothing - Dire Straits
Dude, the cutting edge special effects of 1984! I don't remember the verse about the guy and the earring, then again I was focused on "teh 3-DEEEEEE" as a child cause it was "soooo kewwwwwl!". This was the same year Ghostbusters was released...and I saw that at the DRIVE-IN! Oi. What the hell?
