sorry all three were just awful :|

</3

Dude Mein Teil is the most fucked up song I have ever heard.

I think Weißes Fleisch or Laichzeit are more disturbing as far as subject matter goes.

More musics:
all videos are unrelated to songs. "Cody" lyrics on video page.

Tool (all of Tool's stuff is deep but I like these 2 the most)
-The Pot
-Schism

All of Pendulum but particularly (very good for intense beats or dancing or just listening to):
-Girl in the Fire
-Slam
-Through the Loop
-Hold Your Colour
-Blood Sugar
-The Tempest

Zion I (Bay Area rapper, good song of reflecting and...breathin slow)
-Breathin Slow

Euge Groove (listen to him all the time doing homework, very soothing)

Sublime (Makes me appreciate what I got yo!)
-What I got

Free - Marcus Miller ( I feel so relaxed after listening to this)

Earth Wind and FIre (just plain good music, need I say more?)

Led Zepplin (more just good music)

Shpongle (the funkiest, trippiest, most ambient music you've ever heard, but give em a chance. I'd advise listening to this if you are in fact tripping out - shrooms, cid w/e)

Dude Mein Teil is the most fucked up song I have ever heard.

Worse than Mann Gegen Mann? Very disturbing..... German industrial music about gay sex is just... scary...

Worse than Mann Gegen Mann? Very disturbing..... German industrial music about gay sex is just... scary...

but sounds grate especially if you can understand the language

Within Temptation (Female fronted metal forever!):
The Truth Beneath The Rose & The Cross

Both have quite powerful atheistic messages. The fist deals with the evil in religion ("...How can blood be your salvation, and justify the pain that we have caused throughout the times...). The latter on the journey from theism to atheism (What leaves me from The Cross after all these years...).

FIND 'EM, BITCHES! Thou shalt not be dissapointed...

 

[Sando]

Rush - Faithless

Great song, although I can't find it online anywhere... at least for free. It's on spotify though, in case you have that.

Lyrics

Edit: It's been used for the intro on The Atheist Experience a good few times.

 

[Jotto999]

Okay, I feel like posting more.

Unfortunately, the melodics don't come in that well on youtube quality. The mp3 sounds much more epic. Scar Symmetry is IMO criminally underappreciated.


One of my favourite In Flames songs.

 

[atheismforthewin]

Does Imagine by John Lennon count? Or have I missed the point?

That counts more than most of the songs listed in this thread. But I'd say

Eh Hee-Dave Matthews Band:

"...We're just a collection of cells, overrating themselves..."

 

[Zylstra]

No Bad Religion?

 

[AtheistBrit]

The second is way darker than the first, but the first makes me laugh like a drain EVERY time!

I don't really mind what the message behind music is, and I really don't know why I like the music I do. that's my playlist on youtube. I just add music as I find it, like moonlight sonata that somone posted earlier.
Anything by tom lehreh is great too

I was going to post that one - thank you for saving me the trouble!

Here's a great video of a song from the same album as Faithless. It's a brilliant portrayal of religious "genealogy" with a deliciously subversive ending. The song's an instrumental, and it rocks.

 

[lightbulbsun88]

only dumb teens pretend that they don't give a shit what people think of them.

Only dumb, shallow people change every little aspect about themselves just to make other people happy.

 

[lightbulbsun88]

I concur, I went through that crap in middle school and ended up hating myself because I had no friends.

So because a small group of people didn't like who you were you decided it was best to put on a facade and make friends with them? What an awful story.

Music of "reason" for me is not about the lyrics, it's about the music as one. Musicians who aint afraid to explore other realms of music and think outside the box. I for one think that music like Slipknot (that someone claimed was music of reason before) is mindless music that holds no musical value at all, it's just the same bullshit over and over again.

Here is some of my favourite bands and musicians:

Porcupine Tree is one of my favourite bands, they are a progressive rock band from England. This is a live performance of their song "Arriving Somewhere But Not Here".

Ulver started of as one of the first black metal bands in Norway and still have made the best black metal album to date (Bergtatt) but after two black metal releases they moved on to electronic music and this is a song from their record "Perdition City". The song is called "Lost In Moments". The saxophone in this song is so damn amazing.

Cult of Luna is a swedish post-metal band. Their lates album named "Eternal Kingdom" is fucking amazing, everyone should grab that album in one way or another. This song is from the album "Salvation", it's a shorter video edit though, but it's still great.

Opeth, probably the best band in the world. A progressive metal band from Sweden. The song is called "The Leper Affinity", it's two parts because the song is to long for just one vid. The song is from the album "Blackwater Park".

Gogol Bordello is my favorite band. For a long time I couldn't really figure out what their religious views were, until they released the song "Super theory of Super everything". I'll post a few lines/verses/whatever that I really liked. Just a note: their English isn't great. The band is made up of a few Russians, Ukrainians, a Nigerian, a few Jews, 2 Chinese girls, and a few Americans. Quite diverse.
-------------------------

First time I had read the Bible
It had stroke me as unwitty
I think it may have started rumor
That the Lord ain't got no humor

Put me inside SSC
Let's test superstring theory
Oh yoi yoi accelerate the protons
stir it twice and then just add me, 'cause

I don't read the Bible
I don't trust disciple
Even if they're made of marble
Or Canal Street bling

From the maelstrom of the knowledge
Into the labyrinth of doubt
Frozed underground ocean
melting - nuking on my mind

Yes give me Everything Theory
Without Nazi uniformity
My brothers are protons
My sisters are neurons
Stir it twice, it's instant family!

For people who don't know how to make a youtube video imbedded all you need to do it get the youtube url, such as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlvibGCRDkY then type [youtub][/media] (I took out an e). Inbetween you put only the letter and number portion so the VlvibGCRDkY part. so [youtub]VlvibGCRDkY[/media] would show the video (if typed correctly).
