Pick your favorite band/artist.
Sell me on them. I will listen to 1 song, and 1 song only. Pick a song that you think best sums up their overall sound/style. After listening to it, I will give you a pass/fail grade as to whether or not you've impressed me enough to seek out anything further.
>Choose wisely
what do you typically like, OP

That's pretty hard to do when you're talking about Rush since they've covered 40 years' worth of musical styles but I'll try. Listen to La Villa Strangiato and tell me it isn't the most impressive piece they've done so far.

I already know about ELO so I can't give you a fair grade.
I'm surprised you picked that song though.
>trying to be as impartial as possible
>>55508579
I've already heard this song so I can't really give it a fair grade, but honestly I would still probably look into Radiohead because this is like the only song I know by them.
So because this song made me do that, I guess it's a pass?

Rip in piece Zayne:
Have you met Mr. Malik?
Someone said as we shook hands
But he was just another boy band member to me
Then I said, " Mr Malik,
You're a young gentlemen who understands
I'm just a man who wants to make a difference."
You can run you can hide
But you cant escape the responsibly
That the world thrusts upon your shoulders.
Ignore the masses and embrace yourself
Even if it means that you will be rejected.
I practiced every day,
To fine some clever lines to say,
To help the meaning to come through....
And then you went and spoilt it all, by saying something stupid like : "I quit."
I can see it in his eyes, that he despises the youth of America,
Like the day before.
He love being young
He hates responsibility
He loves being reckless
That's why Mr. Malik,
That's why Mr. Malik,
That's why Mr. Malik is a terrorist
I quit.
I quit...

Losing Your Pants Button suck and Losing your pants button suck.
The world is out to get you.
You want to walk with pride,
But your life is full of Losing your pants button and Losing your pants button.
You wonder when will it end.
You want Dignity,
You want Respect,
But all you see is Losing your pants button.
Oh Losing your pants button.
Oh Losing your pants button and Losing your pants button, they'll pull you under,
Drain your life of having pants with a button and wonder.
Losing Your Pants Button suck and Losing your pants button suck.
The world is out to get you.
You want to walk with pride,
But your life is full of Losing your pants button and Losing your pants button.
You really want the world to end,
Goodbye Dignity,
Goodbye Respect,
And good riddance to Losing your pants button.
Oh Losing your pants button.
Oh Losing your pants button, Losing your pants button, will pull you under,
Drain your life of having pants with a button and wonder.
Losing Your Pants Button suck and Losing your pants button suck.
The world is out to get you.
You want to walk with pride,
But your life is full of Losing your pants button and Losing your pants button.
Your life doesn't have to end.
Sing with Dignity,
Dance with Respect,
And put a curse on Losing your pants button.
Oh Losing your pants button.
Your life is shit,
But get out and walk with pride.
You want the greatest thing
The greatest thing since getting my button sewn back on.
You've got it all, you've got it sized.
If you are confused check with 4chan.
Carry a sewing machine to help you along.
Get out and walk with pride

what is the appeal of this?
it's just 2000s indie rock with an occasional quirky or unexpected melody or harmony
So far OP can't confirm what he likes, but has given a pass or "fail" to every suggestion so far. Is this some faggotry b8 or a legitimate thread?
>>55508663
I generally like Rush's style, but Geddy's voice brings it down.
Like the song though. Would pass it if I didn't already know Rush

Just gotta warn that their album 'Pink Lemonade' sucks. It was a total disappointment but hey they still have great work.
>>55509065
To each their own. Yeah, I wasn't exactly hooked in his voice either when I first heard Rush, but it grew on me and right now I'm actually sad he can't sing as high as he did in his prime. I've always loved high tenor voices so that's why I love Rush so much. Although my sister thinks Geddy is a woman when she heard The Trees lol.

Whether or not OP decides he likes this, I very much enjoy this and have not really listened to them before. So you've convinced at least one person.
>>55510569
Not OP, but I really enjoy his more recent shit. Ocean Death in particular. It's a bit darker than his older, lighter stuff. But whenever I hear kids voices in songs, I get completely taken out of my mood and just get annoyed. Just in case you haven't heard it...

every instrument on Feels is tuned to match an out-of-tune piano that had to be tweaked in order to be "perfectly" out of tune
I think that's really cool. it means the songs on Feels are sort of immaculate and can't be easily replicated by conventional instruments.
