Can’t show ‘em good music... (or ask for extra help, haha)

Anyway, if you don’t recognise it through the first 2 samples, I doubt you will from this third. I’ll leave it up for a bit and post a sample from a more famous song from the band - which I’m sure everyone knows - sometime later.

Gershwin · #2922

Wait, I know this. It's from the second Velvet Underground album. Let me search for the title.

Edit: The Gift.

Yep! That's it. At some point I must learn this short story by heart.

Yeah, it's awesome. Nice pick!

I'll try to post a new snippet when I get home.

Gershwin · #2925

Let's try this.

It seems that Gershwin forgot about this, so I'll start a new one.

Damn...maybe I simply don't know this song at all, haha.

One more for today.

I expected this to be guessed already. This is the start of the song.

Seriously...... nobody?! This is one of the best albums of the 90's. It's pretty high in RYM's top 1000.

7th sample. This is getting depressing.

Another hint: this guy died way too early.

Is anyone still reading this thread?

Sounds cool, but I can't say I can recognize the voice (or any 90s alt rock voice). What is it?

Doesn't sound like Chris Cornell

Not Chris. This guy was only 30 years old when he died.

joachimt · #2939

Here it is:

I can't believe nobody recognized this. This album is a classic. He's one of the best vocalists ever. If you don't know it, please listen to the full album.

Armoreska · #2940

Ooh yeah this must be well known, everyone sucks. I've heard the album too once.

joachimt · #2941

I've seen a lot of lesser known music being posted here very often....... at least in my book.

understatement of the year

Gershwin · #2943

Yeah, I forgot about this thread indeed. Would have definitely guessed this song.

That's a relief.

In that case... your turn! Maybe you can continue your previous one. You only posted one sample so far.

Lammetje · #2945

I just opened the Games subforum for the first time in quite a while.

Anyway, your turn, Gersh!

Gershwin · #2946

Phew. I'll try to post another hint tomorrow! I'm afraid I'll have to cut snippets of the song again, because I already deleted them, iirc.

Gershwin · #2947

Can't add any MP3s any more here.

PA or other mods, would it be possible to enable more file formats?

Edit: I hope this works, but it would be much better if I could simply attach tiny MP3 snippets, of course.

joachimt · #2948

That works, but not really practical indeed.

Don't recognize the song.

Gershwin · #2949

Next hint:

Lammetje · #2950

No idea whatsoever.

Gershwin · #2951

Then I don't think this will be very helpful either, but let's see.

joachimt · #2952

Nope, that doesn't help indeed.

Lammetje · #2953

Gangsta's Paradise (or some other kind of paradise)?

Gershwin · #2954

Kind of. You're close.

Lammetje · #2955

A cover by "Weird Al" Yankovic is the only thing that comes to mind, but it's probably not correct. Apart from that I've got nothing.

Gershwin · #2956

Gangsta's Paradise isn't the original song. And this version comes from a great album with only covers. The artist has been active for more than four decades.

Here's a final hint.
http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fi ... 3830544641

Lammetje · #2957

I think the artist is U2.

Gershwin · #2958

Nope. But has made appearances during U2 gigs.

GruesomeTwosome · #2959

Had to get to a computer to play the audio files, couldn't access these on my phone. Yet still...no idea about this song.

Gershwin · #2960

So nobody even knows the song's title?
