Music Monday (feel free to add your own music)
Every Monday I intend to post a music video (and a few words explaining my choice) I invite you to join me by doing same in the comments section below. As the forum (hopefully) grows my aim is that we begin to inspire our fellow Steemians to broaden their musical horizons by listening to the music that inspires us. The only thing I ask is that (where possible) every song we listen to is played nice and loudly on headphones or speakers in order that we capture it’s true essence.
As more Steemians join this venture there is also going to be the possibility of being rewarded for our musical tastes via the amount of upvotes each song receives. That said please never feel awkward about posting a track, a guilty pleasure or even your own musical ventures. I have an extremely wide range of musical interests but also understand that music like beauty is very much in the eye of the beholder. As such I may play my chosen song, but who am I to define what constitutes good music.

Monday comes around quick my man.
Back to the only band who ever really got their message across.
This was the fuck you to the establishment.
Rage Against the Machine with a underplayed classic.....
Sleep now in the fire.
Fucking Awesome!
Hey my friend,
Another brilliant and inspired choice, where are all the bands like this when you need them? It's sad to see so much music drawn into the mainstream and having their messages watered down. One things for sure, these guys never watered down any messages! With screaming guitars and vocals laced with venom they hit it full throttle!! Speaking of guitars I'm loving the work on this, especially towards the end. Another excellent track, thank you for the music @tremendospercy
oh I love this track :) and few others from ratm
Every time I find myself feeling anxious or overwhelmed, this song starts to go through my head. : ) Take it easy, Steemians!
vid is blocked in the states.. but I love this song
Thanks for letting me know. Let's try this one.
Yay, nice one:)
Fantastic choice! Thanks for sharing!
Hey @kittyandcheese thank you for this inspired choice, I love this track!! So many amazing summertime memories tied up in this song that it can never help but raise a big smile. The Eagles represent perhaps the last of the true supergroups .. what lives these guys must have led!! Thanks again my friend, I really enjoyed this.
Hail Mary by Tupac / Makaveli.
(Lyrics NSFW.)
Gangster Rap
Inspired by the hip hop theme of the song you posted. With reference to the style, lyrics and meaningfulness (or lack there of) in modern hip hop.
If you can listen beyond the vulgarity and rawness of some of the lyrics, there are potential lessons that can be heard and interpreted from them. And if you don’t agree, it’s at the very least an interesting and potentially different perspective on life.
This is in addition to the actual musical arrangement itself which is vastly different from the hip hop and rap from recent years.
The video has the entire album on it but the link directs you straight to the beginning of the song mentioned above.
Also used this track as a thematic or “mental shortcut” link in one of my recent posts. So for me personally this song is trending.
Hey my friend, I love Tupac and it's been a while since I listened so I really enjoyed this. I've listened to hip hop since about 1988 and gangster rap played a pretty big part in that so I'm used to the lyrics lol I think that Pac was one of the most inventive and genuinely interesting rappers out there and this is a great track!! .. I jumped over to youtube to listen to the track and will kick back with the album a bit later on. Thank you for the music @hrissm
Digenis - the byzantine border guard
FYI some more music from the other night... inspired by you, thanks!
@perceptualflaws
I’m from the east coast so naturally I was first exposed to Biggie but I have to admit I prefer Pac.
Haha yeah I was just making a general statement to inform anyone who might not have been prepared for it.
Awesome, hope you enjoy(ed) it.
I have a rather broad and diverse taste in music, so I’ll definitely be coming back here to share more music that I’m sure (almost) no one will have heard before!
Gary Numan and Tubeway Army - Are Friends Electric - 1979
Numan's early music changed my perception of everything. Way ahead of his time!
Hey my friend .. so ahead of his time and still recording/playing, a true musical pioneer .. how often can you say that these days??!! There has never really been anything like this either before or since, a true visionary and by all acounts top bloke! Thank you for the excellent music @sequentialvibe
I sincerely thank you for this great idea. One of my favourites so far on Steem. I will be here next Monday for sure!! Music means a lot to me and I can see it does to you!
So true, everybody likes different stuff! I, like you, have a really wide range. My favorite genre is whatever sounds good haha.
Here's my entry: Foy Vance - She Burns
Hey, thank you for his beautiful track @jakeybrown equally loving the stealth bass line that kicks in and out. Perfect track to kick back to and simply let it take you away with it's soothing sounds and vibe. Thank you for the music my friend.
Embrace the moment of now!
Hey my friend, sorry I missed this yesterday. Excellent stuff!! I really enjoyed this .. completely new to me and a testament to why I started #musicmonday .. Really enjoyed this track, beautifully profound plus Alan Watts!! What's not to love .. thank you for sharing
I really like this one song. The title is United. Sung by a group of cross-continental musicians who are members of a music project called Playing for Change. United's song lyrics campaign for equality, social unity, anti-racist. In addition to its evocative lyrics, the music mix is a most monumental achievement. Traditional musical instruments from certain countries combined with the rhythms of modern musical instruments really become a very nice mixture of heard. In addition to the vocal color that puts the ethnic nuances from which the vocalist originated. This is the song that keeps me excited to start every Monday monday.
Hey my friend, sorry but I must have missed this yesterday .. what a great track! It just takes you away on a river of hopes and dreams .. hope that the future could indeed be different. Thank you for the music, I really enjoyed this.
Not sure as you are 7 years younger than me, if you know this band, take a listen to the lyrics my friend, the band is The The .
Hey my friend, yes I know the band and the song .. but I was too young to absorb it's meaning. Great track and brilliantly timeless lyrics .. indeed each generation since appears to become a litte more beaten :( I wonder when the collective will realise they are punchdrunk on propaganda. Thank you for the music @deliberator
Wow goosebumps! No intro from you @patriciora and none needed .. the song speaks for itself and what a rendition!! She's still got it my friend!! Thank you for sharing this beautiful and inspired choice.
Fab choice - beautiful singer - love Tracy Chapman:)
I remember when this came out in 1981 and it blew my mind.
Peace to you my friends
Great choice my friend, some of these experimental first forays into the world of electronic music are simply magical. Perfectly capturing the moment, our first tentative steps into a brave new era. Yet another inspired choice @onetruebrother thank you for the music!!
