Mention music that is so beautiful that it makes you cry.

I'll start:

2Pac - Ghetto Gospel ft. Elton

Before you think "lol, a rapper", then listen to the song. It's special.

Oh dear.

Anyway, beautiful music: Jeff Buckley, a lot of Sufjan Stevens, stir in a bit of Radiohead, add a sprinkling of Belle & Sebastian - and you've got a recipe for success.

Nice. I hadn't thought of a Modest Mouse song being an appropriate choice, but your choice proves me wrong, good sir.

This might be a bit cliche'.. but "Njosnavelin (Nothing Song)" by Sigur Ros. The song is beautiful and brings back certain memories.

It's been awhile since I've heard this song. Thanks for reminding be about it, even if you didn't mean to.

The Beatles - Let it Be
The Beatles - All You Need is Love
Madonna- Like a Prayer
Neil Young - Don't Let it Bring You Down
Rickie Lee Jones - On Saturday Afternoons in 1963

All you need is love? Our definitions of beautiful seem to differ.

Yet you still chose The Beatles, what a shame.

Well I'm sorry to disappoint you.

I want a written, public apology....oh wait...

calling to the night - MGPO OST {one of the most beautiful themes i have EVER heard. check it out}

Billy Joel - Through the Long Night
Ray Charles & Willie Nelson - Seven Spanish Angels
Elton John - Someone Saved My Life Tonight
The Eagles - What Do I Do With My Heart

Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt. It takes something special to take a song from a band like Nine Inch Nails and make it your own, but Mr. Cash did that. Sure people could see it as a cheesy cash-in but you'd have to have a heart of pure stone but not to be moved by that video and Cash's haunting tones. The bit that always gets to me is the line "Everyone I know goes away in the end..." and the video clip focuses on a picture of June, still sends shivers down my spine to this day.

I personally think he sounded like a zombie with a headache.

It was painful to watch for the wrong reasons.

No that's Radiohead. Personally I loved this version and this comes from someone who simply adores Nine Inch Nails, but hey only a small-person would argue this as anything more than opinion.

Misery Signals- Worlds and Dreams.... breathtaking

No, it's Johnny Cash. See? That's what personal opinion is.

Welcome.

Iron and Wine - Each Coming Night

Very sad song, musically and lyrically. Probably my favorite Sufjan song.

Boots Of Spanish Leather by Bob Dylan

Are you serious?

It's funny that some people find it so appalling when people don't jizz at the thought of Radiohead's music. They really are not anything special, at least not special enough to act like you have better taste than somebody who does not.

I think that's why it is quite mind boggling to some people when that happens.

I do agree about the "better taste" thing though. The test band for that is Godspeed You Black Emperor.

They're special to you, not to me. No band is exempt from criticism, and no band is above their station.

Every musical act will be special to someone be that act The Spice Girls or Radiohead.

Just because people don't like 'em doesn't mean they don't get 'em.

But not getting a band is something no one is willing to admit anyway.

Certain types of criticism can tell you if someone just doesn't like them, of if they don't get them.

Yet one person 'getting' a band will no doubt be different from another persons, whose to say whose right?

I'm not to concerned with how people perceive my dislike of Radiohead, after all it's not going to change my perception of them. Plus I'm sure Radiohead fans don't see the fuss about similarly held bands (Tool, Opeth, Rush, The Melvins Mr. Bungle et. all).

Considering I like all those bands, I can only speak for me.

Yeah, they are special, though. They are quite unique and very versatile, factually. Whether you like them or not, you'll have to admit their ability and creativeness.

Probably, not what I am talking about though.

Also, arguable, but again, not what I said. I just said they are special and I now add that they are quite gifted. You don't have to like them, but to deny facts is pretty ludicrous.

Soothsayer by Buckethead. It's got so much emotion in it. It made me cry once.
