Opeth - The Grand Conjuration
I really disliked this song the first time I heard it, it was a leak and the first glimpse of Ghost Reveries I had heard up to that point. Since GR released and I've listened to it at least a few hundred times now, I must say I really love it. Its a great song, very hard hitting, and the vocal performance by Mikael Åkerfeldt is just easily some of the best death metal vocals I've heard.
Differences in point of view aside between you and I in previous threads, I have to admit you have almost a carbon copy of my musical tastes from what I've observed you posting. My personal favorite off that cd is Ghost of Perdition.
YMO - Kang Tong Boy.
Rather uncharacteristic YMO, with lots of guitar and a female "punkish" singer, but lovely lovely stuff nevertheless.
YMO is quickly becoming one of my all time favourite bands, after I rediscovered them a while ago.
That might be, but the general quality of pop music was infinitely higher back then.
Pop music stopped being good sometime around the mid 90s. Not that there has been any good stuff since then, but certainly not the massive stream as in the 60s 70s and 80s.
