How about a music thread? Music that gives you the feels.

[Gizmo1990]

A few years ago I had a big health scare, I am fine now but at the time it got me thinking about my funeral. Now I mostly don't care about it as I will be dead but I do want to give people one last laugh so on the way into the church I want this playing

Spoiler: AC/DC Highway to Hell

and when I get put in the oven I want this

Spoiler: The Rolling Stones - Sympathy For The Devil

 

[Mr Fixit]

Awesome tunes snip

Thrice is damn good, I have all those albums, but don't listen to them nearly often enough.

 

[Kenbo Slice]

The song that pumps me up:

Spoiler: MVP

The song that makes me feel nostalgic:

Spoiler: Ohio Is For Lovers

For it's sheer hilarity:

Spoiler: About That Life

Hey, since this is a music thread, I gotta ask - what are some good techno bands? Beyond Daftpunk, I guess. Something in the vein of MoS's New Black Gold? Anyone got something to recommend?

Well, there certainly are many things wrong with these sentences... ignoring that for now.

If you look for good electronic music you should go find it yourself in my opinion. The freedom of sound design with this type of music creates a lot of variance. There are quite a few youtube channels dedicated to promoting artists in that particular field like Monstercat, ENM, Tasty Network... just browse their videos. Based on your "New Black Gold" example (which is kinda pop-ish chill) you can start by trying out some of the things labelled chillstep or maybe glitch or trap (I'm a fan of Glitch Mob myself). If you like Daftpunk I would recommend Uppermost.
But really, just browse.

Heh, sorry, I haven't heard much electronic music (I guess saying techno's taboo?). I do like what I have heard, but I just don't know where to start or what's best to really get into it.

Okay, I'll look some of them up. Thanks for the help!

I make it about 10 seconds into this one.

[Wolf In A Bear Suit]

I think this does it. Really briefly featured in Portal 2, which is a shame because it would have fit wonderfully at the end of the game. Great song by a great band.

[Sleepy Sol]

Spoiler: Feel the feels

This is what I listen to when I'm feeling particularly down, or feeling that lack of confidence that just pops up now and again.

Spoiler: HEAVY AS FUCK

As opposed to something like this. When I just want to listen to something heavy and bob my head/headbang/etc. Or I'm angry for whatever reason.

I find this piece of music rather emotional:


I have always found Shostakovich to be rather underrated, and this movement is my favourite of his. Here is another piece of music that never fails to send a shiver up my spine:


Nothing quite beats listening to these at work.

 

[Maraskeen]

Oh, a music thread ! Thank you, @Mr Fixit , music threads are my favorite kind of drug. Let's make it big and healthy !

Have a couple of picks, the ones I can think of at the moment :

The one that always gets me a-prancing, as paradoxical as this might be.

The one that gets you insanely pumped (complete with choreography and music industry critique!)

The one I even cannot listen in full anymore, because that's basically pre-adolescence condensed.

The one that gets you insanely pumped (2)

The one I'd like to listen to in my spaceship (which I'm gonna get one day) (it's practically a fact)... Or the entire "Time" album, really.

The one that's triumphant and sad at the same time.

The one that instantly makes it all better, though I really don't know why... Perhaps because hearing the songs on this album was one of my first conscious memories.


The one that's both lyrical genius and proof that yes, you can perfectly carry an entire song with a tired joke.

The one you cannot help but sing along to.

The one you find yourself listening at 4 A.M. and thinking "oh shi--"...

There's plenty more where that came from !

I find this piece of music rather emotional: (snip)

I have always found Shostakovich to be rather underrated, and this movement is my favourite of his.

I very much agree - I only discovered his works by chance, and his music has never ceased growing on me since. Are you familiar with Op. 107? It's absolutely brilliant.

I have yet to find a movement of Shostakovich that I haven't enjoyed. He is consistently brilliant in my opinion.
