Did you use the right "You Tube" icon....great version ...never heard that b4. Excelllent....thanks:)

Nice isn't it? She really gets the meaning of the song across. Dare I say it but I think it's better than the original.

It most certainly does it justice jca. I wouldn't argue with the original, but that indeed is a great version.

Uberbeamerman

The Glitch Mob-We can make the world stop

Due in part to GoPros slick marketing, I had the song on repeat for about an hour after hearing it first

Then copy the you tube "share" link....pasti it in between the above "You Tube Links...BUT then remove the first part of the link...

ie: delete "http://youtu.be/ leaving only 6dqVDQ-IF4Q in between the You Tube brackets..

Many thanks,got one posted.

Think this song is definitely one of the forgotten classic irish love songs. Heard it in a great Irish Movie Goldfish Memory a few years ago and truly stuck in my head ever since..

The Wallflowers "One Headlight".

This is what got me into rock... so glad I heard it, such an awesome song!

Just heard You're Not Alone Anymore by Roy Orbison/Travelling Wilburys and it took my breath away

Loads of songs have blown me away on first hearing them but funnily enough the songs I really tend to love grow on me slowly.

Heres one of the ones that I loved on first hearing.

Royal Legend

Daft Punk - Lose Yourself to Dance (made me dance) 70's soul

and funnily enough Ellie Goulding - How Long Will I Love You (made me cry) not sure why, but it really got to me, must be a repressed memory regarding the original by the Waterboys that Ellie has not got a patch on

EVOL1991

Especially about 10 minutes into it.

Wouldn't we be doing each other a favour if we all could post the link up?

What all hiphop should sound like. I had it on loop the whole day when I first heard it, and I'm predominantly a rock/metal fan.

When those cymbals kick in at 0:50. ****ing hell.

There are so many. Off the top of my head for now though,
Bloodbuzz Ohio-The National
Munich-Editors
Skinny Love-Bon Iver
Wake up-Arcade Fire
Getting Nowhere- Magnetic Man
Dashboard-Modest Mouse
Georgia on My Mind-Ray Charles
Suzie Q-Creedence Clearwater Revival
If I had a Gun-Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds.
I'm just going to force myself to stop now.

Just remembered this song today, and having goosebumps the first time I heard it.
Still sounds good all these years later.

Ain't no thing but a Chicken wing/Outkast

Carawaystick

Acquiesse by oasis- woke up hungover to hear this on repeat, thought it was brilliant, cured the sick head

The road to peace, tom waits
Possibly the most grimly depressing song, but brilliant

Where is my mind, pixies
First time I heard this was at the end of fight club...

A forest, the cure
On fannings fab fifty

Ludlow massacre, Christy Moore on the Prosperous album
"They didn't know that we had guns,
You shoulda seen them bas tards run"

About a girl, nirvana.
Heard it on unplugged then on Bleach

Dancing in the moonlight, covered by David Kitt, on my red & black notebook

BK Baby, Ben Kweller,
Saw him supporting Evan Dando in Whelans one night, he opened with this and everyone was just hooked

Pixies- Tame.
It was the first pixies song I heard, was on a free tape with NME or Melody Maker.
1st listen- wft, noise, shouting
2nd listen- same as above
3rd listen- amazing, next heard Wave of Mutilation. Then thought I have to buy everything they're released.

Dcully

U2 - Bad
Joe Satriani -Summer Song
Queens of the stone age - no one knows

Many more but those spring to mind instantly.

Anything from Luke Kelly really, what a man what a talent!

More years ago than I care to remember. The south of France one hot afternoon smoking weed and drinking red wine on a tangled bed with a beautiful naked girl. She played a song, I recognised the lyrics but I'd never heard this angelic version before...
Jeff Buckley: hallelujah

ibFoxer

Numb- Portishead
Hail Mary- Tupac
The Professor & La Fille Danse- Damien Rice
Royals- Lorde
Lonely Boy- The Black Keys
Fast Car- Tracey Chapman
I Miss You- Blink 182
Dancing In The Moonlight- Toploader
Achilles Heel- Toploader
