I love Blind Guardian. Saw them live twice now and both times were absolutely brilliant. ^^ My favorite song by them is and will likely always be, ...And Then There Was Silence. But, with that said, I love their entire discography.

Haven't heard of Blind Guardian but I'll definitely look into them.

Anyone here listen to Kaspy?

http://kaspy.ca/

He's an independent producer/instrumentalist. Very top notch stuff.

Cold as Ice - Foreigner - Just listned to this song on Don't forget the lyrics. Love it =)

So Cold - Breaking Benjamin - I forgot about this song >.< I love this song too XDD

And now for something completely different.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica - Sis Puella Magica! - Atmospheric, wonderful... flutey!

Puella Magi Madoka Magica - Pugna Cum Maga - As above... somehow I get the mental imagery of crossing the Sahara on a sailing boat... I know... wierd. Also, parts of this remind me of the music from the movie the Fifth Element.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica - Conturbatio - Haunting and melancholy... definite shades of autumn in this for me.

And since these are short ones... I'll break my own rule

Puella Magi Madoka Magica - Salve, Terrae Magicae - Practically has the call to adventure written all over it.

And yes, all from the same series. The artist that did the songs is called Yuki Kajiura and I have to say they aquitted themselves with honour. The series proper, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, is nothing short of living excellence. The music you just heard? Couple that with story and artistic excellence of the same calibre. That's how good it is.

Linkin Park - Iridescent - We'll be hearing this throughout Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

Red Reduction Division - Fripside

Agony - Kotoko

Amorphis - You I need

Love this song. Video doesn't make sense, but its very well done. ^^

David Guetta - Gettin' Over You (feat. Chris Willis, Fergie, & LMFAO) - One of the few songs I used to enjoy at a club.

Lupe Fiasco - Show Goes On - I just really like this song. He's my favorite (nerdrapper) and his lyrical ability than most mainstream rappers today.

Howie Day - Collide - Does anyone else remember this song?

Touhou - Lyude - Solar Sect of Mystic Wisdom ~ Nuclear Fusion - This song rocks. There's a pretty damn good CGI Dogfight that goes with it too. Awesome. Sauce.

Touhou - Bad Apple!! - The song is great and the video is gorgeous.

Sora No Otoshomino OST - Yuuki No Tsubasa - It comes from one of my favourite animes, capable of being hilariously funny, heart wrenchingly sad, unbelievably serious, stupidly silly, horrendously crass and wonderfully touching all at the same time. The song proper comes in as the cast is getting its big damn heroes moment and holy slag is it effective.

Mirrored Theory - I Dare You - This guy combines rock, electronica, and dubstep into his songs. Not a major labeled band but hopefully he'll become popular in the online world. I know one of his albums, Incandescent, is free for download.

Hey, Alak. That was the first time I've heard that (or anything from that group). It sounds awesome.

Some more of my likes:

Escala- Palladio: The original version of this is neo-classical, but this version mixes it with rock (and maybe electronica?).

The Cranberries- So Cold in Ireland: It's kinda slow and brooding, but I find it really easy to get into.

Hans Zimmer/John Powell- Oogway Ascends: Another example of something that might be best understood with the context from the movie, but even along, it can be stirring.

The first time I've heard of Mirrored Theory was when a gamer (C1intBeastwood) used that song in his montage video of Battlefield: Bad Company 2. I found the guy's youtube channel and downloaded the album. By the way, I think I watched Kung Fu Panda enough times to recall that exact scene. Awesome stuff, and I love song like the "Palladio" one you just posted. I think the blend of classical/orchestra and rock drew me in to Finnish bands and trailer music.

Anyway, here's the dubstep song of the day:

Vaski - Blackout

AAA - Samurai Heart - Music video's cheesy but it's a catchy song.

Triple Post! This thread could sure use a bump.

E.S. Posthumus - Unstoppable - It definitely caught my attention in the new Sherlock Holmes trailer. The orchestra really builds upon the name of the song, making it suitable for a fight song. The good part starts at 2:00.

Tejb - To tha Face - He owns several channels on Youtube, the main one being dedicated to the Call of Duty franchise. He's actually my age, but has found so much success on the internet through commentating and such. He only made two songs so far, but this is his more popular one since it's titled after his signature phrase.

blink-182 - Up All Night - For anyone who has listened to this band from the mid-90s to 2003, it's pretty cool to hear that they're back together. This particular song isn't their best work, but at least they're back lol.
