General Music Thread - *possible LANGUAGE warning*

"Opening line MOD edit: videos linked by members may require langauge/content warning FYI"

Hi guys!

I was sitting at my PC (as we all do) listening to music and an absolutely killer beat came on. I got so overwhelmed and just started jamming in excitement. Reason being because I got tickets to see Queen + Adam Lambert on September the 1st. At that moment, I needed someone to jam with and feel my enthusiasm, but it's 1am and my household was asleep. So I browsed the list of threads here in the general lounge and there seemed to be a clear lack of a forum staple: a music thread!

So to get any discussion started, I just thought I'd ask if anyone else was going to see Brian May and Roger Taylor like me. And regardless of your answer to that, what music acts have you seen live? Or would have liked to see live? What jams are you getting fully psyched over currently?

For me, I'm only 19 years of age, so all music acts I've seen in concert as of now are Cold Chisel, Hunters & Collectors and Ball Park Music.

Contrary to most of my generation, my music taste is very similar to what a 70's kid would love. I love 70's and 80's rock, as tragic as it may be. Modern music is absolutely schiße and has zero soul. I was gutted to miss out on Queen tickets but oh well.

Phil Collins is by a mile my favourite artist, along with his work with Genesis.
I'm also interested in video game music, while I must say that GT6 does have some good tracks in it, most of the menu music sucks. I love music composed by KoJi Kondo, the legendary Nintendo composer, along with the music created by Rareware's composers.

Haha! Already the 'modern music bashing' has begun. It's not all bad. You gotta look for the good stuff.

I would love to see an INXS concert. They just have the most awesome and memorable songs of any band I can think of! They're definitely in the echelons of Queen when it comes to great anthems.

I'm glad I live in this generation, because only in these times am I able to do what you couldn't do previously: collect music. I mean sure, you could burn hundreds of dollars on physical copies, but not many people did. The only way to hear stuff you didn't buy was borrowing CDs or listening to the radio. Either way, you had to find it first. I have 470 original songs collected so far, and I'm not even half done - I swear. After picking up on a few albums that I knew I wanted uncompressed WAV formats for, I went out and spent $20 each on them. Now I have about 8 CDs of just albums that I knew were good, because I had them in MP3 format already. I have over 33 hours of music at my fingertips! Taking up 14GB of harddrive space. It's brilliant. Any genre you can think of, and I only collect the music I recognise.

I gotta thank GTA for giving me the sweet beats as well. The only downside of a GTA exposed song is that now every time I proclaim aloud that I love 'Radio Ga Ga', I get jumped upon as a GTA player. That may be true, but I knew of 'Radio Ga Ga' for years before GTA V was announced. I think that's what I'm looking forward to most at the Queen concert; raising two hands in the air for two signature claps as part of the first chorus, just like the music video.

Why would 'Don't Stop Me Now' not be on the setlist?!

Some of the bands i have seen live: Metallica, Bon Jovi, Tool, Pearl Jam, Motley Crue, Screaming Jets, The Angels
the original Queen lineup (Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor, John Deacon)

Radio GaGa is definitely my favourite Queen song.

Fat Bottomed Girls. That is all.

C'mon, didn't you guys ever bang your heads on the dashboard to Bohemian Rhapsody?

Now we're rolling! All good music threads devolve into youtube links!

My favourite version of 'In the Air tonight'

My favourite song of all time:
