The Music Room

I miss betty

Who remembers this piece ( in Italy it was successful tbf)
Passed about 20 years

Full video - one of the greatest songs I've ever listened to.

I hear it on radio sometimes, i notice because it would fit well in Fifa soundtrack

The videoclip is great

Many great opera singers are recognized from their definitive piece, Pavarotti from Nessun Dorma, Jussi Björling from O Holy Night etc. This is the definitive piece of the greatest of them all.



Sad thing really, how many great individuals died so young. Ayrton Senna, Bruce Lee, Mario Lanza... Who knows what kind of legacy would there been otherwise.

heard this on the radio today and thought this might be right up your alley @Robespierre

record labels are really the worst

not my kind of music unfortunately, it's okay to listen to when it's playing in the background for "a vibe" when you have more important things to do

i like rich language, worldplay, lyricism, and if not that, at least a beat to die for.

Zagga is good background noise, simple but haunting beat, it could be a great song with Three 6 Mafia type of flows

Is there a specific name for that type of drums as in 0:21 ? It's always used in "hip-hop" since 7-8 years, one of the main reasons i dislike 99% of the songs

What is your top 5 genres ?

Mine is quite disparate
- hard rock
- blues rock
- 90s east coast hip hop
- G Funk
- death metal

Strangely one of my favorite group is Pink Floyd yet they don't fall in any of those categories

hmmm, not too sure, hard to say with today's music because do genres still really exist with most music incorporating sounds from other types of music
but generally what i like are the things below:
- pure rap/hip-hop (just bars and killing the beat)
- various kinds of EDM (ranging from electronic house, dance/club music, and even a bit of lo-fi)
- atmospheric hip-hop (Frank Ocean, Mac Miller)
- alternative blues (stripped down music, not too many hardhitting instrumentals, example: Bon Iver, Royals (Lorde), Pumped Up Kicks (Foster the People)
- South African Durban house (like the one below)

Great beach song you posted tbh

About hip-hop, just bars and killing the beat, yes you're god damn right. Also Bone Thugs-N-Harmony which i consider best rap group ever (and by damn far) does not fall in categories above

In another subject i love to read old critics made by Robert Christgau he's quite witty and savage

Was a decent album but he annihilated Mobb Deep there
Murda Muzik [Loud, 1999]
"Guns, money, pussy, cars, drugs, jewels, clothes, brawls, killings, buroughs, buildings, diseases, stress, the D's." And then: "Straight reality." Yeah, right. B-

He should be more famous

Honestly I think this is my favorite song
Simply perfect. There is everything, from the beginning to the end.
Highest quality.

cool 80s vibe

Although I consider Floor Jansen the best singer of all-time, beyond Aretha Franklin and Freddie Mercury, this is something that will never be topped. This is with Nightwish's first singer, Tarja Turunen, with more operatic voice. It's my favorite version of the Phantom of the Opera. Also known as how a bassist can out sing most of modern bands.
