http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=M5gQidrzojU

2. This is fish Ina barrel, but 17 it. It's that good. Alabama Shakes "Hold On". bless my soul southern rock and soul is back.

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Le-3MIBxQTw

3. Tanlines "Greengrass" eh…kind of new ordery. Usually not my thing buti like this tune.

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EqCzC23umn0

I don't consider any music worth paying $.99-$1.29 a song for because I think it's a complete ripoff and communist in all honesty. I would guess this would stir some people up, but with the technical advances we've made in the world if we are still trying to pawn songs off for a dollar or more apiece I do and will not continue to ever support it.

I've got over 700 songs on my apple devices and I haven't paid for the first one. I understand musicians should be paid for their craft, but until the price is lowered to a fair market value they won't get the first penny.

I can buy an album for about the price of 3 gallons of gas, and less than a trip to Subway. Music is cheaper now than it's ever been.

I'm always willing to pay for great entertainment.

 

[Dawgybag]

I lurk a lot and very seldom do I feel the need to post, but I feel that need now. I really enjoy J. Roddy Walston and The Business's self titled album. The hole album smokes, but I enjoy this tune a lot.

Wouldn't it be nice if you just answered the question? The original post said it was time to "add" music. It didn't say anything about how to go about it.

So, what are your favorite and must have free songs?

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

Rock Mafia- the Big Bang.

I have no idea who they are or if their other music is worth a crap, but i do like that tune.

And I found Blue Mountain's "Soul Sister" on iTunes a few months ago. Good old tune, brings back some 90's memories.

[chew1095]

Mumfords new album is very good. I have been listening to them for a while now and actually saw them live at Republic in New Orleans a little over 2 years ago. I got tickets for $14 a piece. Pretty sure that ship has sailed.

I was at that show. It was as packed as I've seen the Republic. Makes me sad that Cadillac Sky broke up shortly after as well.

Since you said 5 years... Ryan Bingham

His first album Mescalito is the last "must have" album for me. Should be about 5 years old now. Lot of good songs - Southside of Heaven, Bread & Water, Sunrise --- but my favorite is Ever Wonder Why.

Second album was good too. He's released two more but I don't listen to much new music these days so haven't even checked them out yet. Most of the time now I just listen to whatever comes on Pandora.

Yep. He has a ton of good stuff on that one. My favorite on that album is Southside of Heaven.

Very few albums I just like everything on. But that is one.

WOW. My friend: You have won me over. Let's throw Pig Destroyer- Book Burner in there for good measure.

I STILL think the new Baroness CANNOT be beat, though.

Zachary Richard- Danse'

Good also

 

[dawgs.sixpack]

jesus, i was trying to post a 2012 list and it keeps running everything together without line breaks. wt17? i screwed around with the HTML option below, but it still jsut ran it all together.

 

[ckDOG]

On this note - the 10 bucks a month I pay for Spotify is well worth it.

I can buy an album for about the price of 3 gallons of gas, and less than a trip to Subway. Music is cheaper now than it's ever been.

I'm always willing to pay for great entertainment.

My office is headphones friendly so I stream music from the Spotify app on my phone. It's great. Every now and again, you won't be able to find something you want to listen to, but overall, the library is spectacular. I'm listening to more new and old stuff now than I ever have. If I bought the physical albums or music files that I've listened to since subscribing, I would have spent well over a grand by now. Plus, there is a radio feature like Pandora if you want to have a random assortment of music from whatever genre. I highly recommend it to anyone that wants to listen stuff they don't already own or have loaded to their music library on their phone.

One thing to note: I have an unlimited data plan with my carrier. I haven't considered how much data I'm transferring. I suppose it could get more expensive than 10 bucks a month if it causes you to incur extra data charges.

Those tech advances allow you to now get the 2-6 songs on an album you actually like, instead of forcing you to buy the whole thing. What used to cost $10-18 now costs $2-6. And if you want the whole album, many are $10 total.

What actually is a 'fair market value'? Since itunes is the ubergod of music and has played a major part in Apple becoming the most valuable company of all time, i would say they are charging a fair market value due to the usership.
But hey, thats just my crazy way of defining your term.



Mumford's new album
Rill Rill by Sleigh Bells
Imagine Dragons
Springsteen's new album
Cut it Out by Kitten

Just a few of the random recent additions ive made. All different geres.

 

[LTblows]

World Leader Pretend - New Voices

Wasn't made in the last five years (Released in 2005); but no one's heard of it, and it's fantastic. In fact, the whole Punches album was one of the best overall albums I've ever listened to.

 

[War Machine Dawg]

I second The Heavy. They've got a kinda retro feel. And "Shortchange Hero" is awesome.

 

[GTAdawg]

Wouldn't it be nice if you just answered the question? The original post said it was time to "add" music. It didn't say anything about how to go about it.

So, what are your favorite and must have free songs?

The holiday/crootin' season really has worn on you hasn't it? Lighten up. It's not like every other thread might have a semi-off tangent subject within. I just wanted to expand on that thought briefly.

For what it's worth to please Der, I'll go with anything by LMFAO, Lady Gaga, and Nicki Minaj.********

 

[hatfieldms]

Spotify is awesome and well worth the ten bucks per month

That is pretty much all I listen to these days unless I am listening to live releases of bands that don't release them through record companies. And even some of those are finding their way onto spotify

 

[Rockydawg]

Spotify RULES. Even if you are concerned about data, just pick about five or six albums you want to listen to for the next week or so and make playlists with the Listen Offline option. The music selected will be automatically downloaded to the Spotify App. Don't even need a 3G connection then, and no data is being used.

 

[MagnificentBastard]

What you are really saying is that you aren't willing to pay for anything that you can steal without getting caught. Your "fair market value" defense is pretty much BS.

 

[tb2]

I won't go into detail and start a pissing match and get the thread locked, but

you have some seriously misguided views. You essentially said that they charge too much so you steal it.

 

[GTAdawg]

you have some seriously misguided views. You essentially said that they charge too much so you steal it.

Actually no, I don't "steal" anything. Stealing would be taking the same music file and ripping from a scam program or app that most of us have heard of or are familiar with. What I do is take video files produced(say an amateur YouTube video or other novice file on the Internet) and convert these to audio mp3s. This doesn't necessarily have to be music either. And it's not illegal.

 

[MagnificentBastard]

That is pretty much the definition of stealing unless you have the permission of the copyright owner. And it is illegal.

 

[Rockydawg]

So what you are telling us is...
