Sonic Boner

An incredible live version of the song. She has the most calming way to song-whisper ever. 

This is not the type of music I'd ever expect to be good live, but they perform the song incredibly well, all the little variations flowing into it naturally and I have no idea how that android on the drums thinks he can hide when he's clearly a living metronome.

Already posted the CD version of this but seeing it live and hearing the variations they do just adds to it. Strange fusion of droning ambient and jazz from Sweden.

Great live performance of a song that makes me melt into my seat whenever I hear it.

This performance taped sometime around 1963. Very swinging version.

Great live rendition of their layered art rock sound.

Commonly thought to be "Waltzing Matilda" because of the lyrics. One of the best renditions I've heard, Waits is at his best blend of growling storytelling and singing.

Some of the best of the Madchester scene.

Wonderful dark driving post punk beat.

A very funky alt country/folk tune from little known (no Wiki page, seriously?) group featuring identical twins on vocals, to very interesting effect. Can't find this on either of their albums unfortunately.

This is a beautiful video for an unusually timid song from The Tiger Lillies. It captures the dark cabaret sensibilities perfectly. Music to drown to.

A group of very talented musicians that make an odd jazz rock fusion sound that's very unique.

While she later changed her musical style to include more instruments, vocals and production, this is a tune in her earlier instrumental guitar style. It involves a number of interesting playing techniques, including playing over the top of the neck, percussive slams and fingertapping.

Feel classy with some instrumental music from the space age bachelor pad era. The album name and track name is taken from a book and poem by William Blake. 

According to legend, this song took shape in a drunken recording session that Hawkins himself didn't even remember afterward. On a bet, he later performed the song emerging from a coffin, which evolved into this proto-shock rock act. 

Some great music from the more aggressive side of post-rock called post-metal.

A blues rock guitar god that is usually forgotten among namedrops like Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan, but definitely belongs up there.
