lousiest January 12, 2012 Share lousiest Member January 12, 2012 (edited) Came across this on Reddit - What is, in your opinon, the most powerful music you have ever listened to? I've never thought of music as being powerful, but having sampled a number of songs on the thread above, I think I understand what they mean. Personally, theme songs from movies (songs from The Last Samurai, Gladiator, or maybe just Hans Zimmer come to mind) would probably be my picks for powerful music. Anyway, I enjoyed the songs mentioned in the thread (discovered new ones from genres I don't normally listen to), and thought you might too Edit: it's also very interesting to see listen to what people consider powerful. The songs run the gamut from classical to rock to oldies, but all very good Edited January 12, 2012 by Flitterkill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieChan January 12, 2012 Share JackieChan GC Alumni January 12, 2012 Powerful as in "moving", or powerful as in "zomg this is liek the bestestset song evar"? I especially like this song. It's by Hammerfall who are a Power Metal band. It's a different take on what they usually do and it's a very enjoyable 7 minute song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samurai nightling January 13, 2012 Share samurai nightling Member January 13, 2012 (edited) If we're talking powerful as not moving or inspirational but powerful as a strong musical piece? Well then probably some of the techno/electronic I've listend to. Edited January 13, 2012 by samurai nightling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymo January 13, 2012 Share anonymo Member January 13, 2012 (edited) Lots. This Feed Me track from last year.

samurai nightling January 14, 2012 Share samurai nightling Member January 14, 2012 (edited) You sir are very talented. Is this all you do to make money? Also when i thought of powerful music, I was going to post something along the lines of what anonymo did. I hated dubstep at first, and some of it is horrible garbage, but I do like some of them like he posted. They have super powerful sounding basses and drops.

MPG1770 January 14, 2012 Share MPG1770 GC Server Admin January 14, 2012 Thanks all for the compliments. The problem with most R&B, House etc is usually that the majority of the time there are no musicians (especially percussionists/drummers) it's all done by machine, Turntables; but even that is a mockery as most of studio work required to produce around 75% of the tracks is done on a computer using fruity loops software, a far cry from it's birth in the 1940s. btw, composing & performing is my life & career.
