Currently listening to Everlasting Light by Mono. 10 minute instrumental track and absolutely epic. Been listening to it nearly nonstop since yesterday.

What songs are you guys feeling right now?

Radiohead - Gagging Order

It's off one of their b-sides, so it's a lesser known song. I think it's from some Japanese import in fact. But it is absolutely brilliant. Probably one of my favorite Radiohead songs ever now. Hadn't even listened to Radiohead in a few months, but a friend linked me to it on youtube and I was instantly in :drool: mode.

NaS - Halftime

I was too young to really appreciate at it at the time it came out, but anytime I hear that song now I pretty much drop everything.

A song that actually floored me on a first listen was Louis Logic - The Ugly Truth. If you listen to it, understand that he is speaking in the voice of someone else the entire song, and the reveal at the end is like a punch in the face. It reminds you of just how much hate is still in the world.

Last song I was surprised by was Omen by The Prodigy, didn't really expect anything great after the last album.

Woman by Wolfmother.
The first couple of times I heard it was at work when I was closing up for the night so I wasn't really paying close attention. I thought it was a Led Zeppelin song I never heard before.

Tin Soldier by The Small Faces
One of my many random Youtube finds.

AC/DC - Shoot to Thrill (Anything really off the Black Album. FIrst time I listened that CD I died after the third song. Kickass)

The Who - Love Reign over me.

Cradle of Filth - Nymphetamine/Cthuhlhu Dawn (Not a big COF fan, Nymphetamine was an addictive song, Cthulhu gets old after a while, but the sound is amazing)
