a song sampled by countless hip-hop artists and a gem in its own right.

I don't think I've heard an Immortal Technique song that was happy
He doesn't generally do happy but "Positive Balance" from his first album comes pretty closeAnd yeah, "Dance with the Devil" is probably his best song.
The Mars Volta - Askepios
Despite some inventive musical content I find the original version of this album to be almost unlistenable. Good thing clip fix exists.
Wtf are you doing to your music?
Slayer - Angel of Death
Thrash pretty much at its best.
Audacity has a feature called "Clip Fix" which is intended to be used to recover dynamic range from recordings that have suffered accidental clipping. However it also works on professionally recorded CDs, as it seems three quarters the recordings major labelsout these days are atrociously clipped (I am basing this solely on my having looked at the discographies of The Mars Volta, Muse, Moonsorrow, and Dream Theater). So I use Clip Fix to restore the dynamic range. It doesn't sound as good as it would if there hadn't been any clipping to begin with, but it sounds a lot better than what the labels apparently considered a releasable product.
Strangely, Clip Fix even recovers a bit of dynamic range from recordings compressed in other methods, though nowhere near as much, and on some recordings the difference it makes is inaudible. Also note that sometimes Clip Fix overcompensates when generating the new waveform so I sometimes have to compress the resultant signal somewhat in its restored dynamic range (usually by about a 2:1 ratio, but it varies depending on how much dynamic range it restores).
More on the loudness war here.

Hm, yeah I don't think there is. Pro-Che people generally aren't happy people.I don't think I've heard an Immortal Technique song that was happy
Big Drift - Jamie Lidell
Muse - Stockholm Syndrome
First time actually listening to some of their Clip Fixed albums. The improvement is stunning. This is the CD of HAARP; I'll probably listen to the DVD (which is of a different, and longer, show) tomorrow.
No ticket- the menzingers
Still Alive. Some people are creeped out by it, but I find it funny.
"I'm not even angry
Even though you broke my heart
And killed me
And tore me to pieces
And threw every piece into
A fire"
This song is a triumph.
Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band - Hair Pie: Bake 1
goddamn I've been neglecting them for far too long
Richard Marx - Right Here Waiting For You
I am really into romantic songs!
Della Reese - The Best Thing for You
Live version from the album "At Basin Street East" from 1964, which is quite possibly my all-time favorite album. The gal can sing anything and everything.
Staind-Believe and Right Here. OMGUBERROXXORZ.
Bizarre Love Triangle by New Order. I FREAKING LOVE THIS SONG.
Era Vulgaris
