Ohhh, downvotes! Nice!

In reply to this comment by Eklek:
Yes indeed, it seems well produced mainstream is hard to sift, well, it got one extra vote:) So 1 more to go! Thanks to your promote Moby got sifted , Bamdrew so far did not downvote..
So far for contentious sifting..

Yay, thanks. You'd figure a "song of the summer" would have an easier time making it out of queue, eh?

Sad. I've been to a lot of antique stores and records are one of the most worthless things in the shop. Nobody even bothers to browse them.
He needs to find a museum willing to archive them rather than expecting someone to come along and buy. Or he could talk to Moby.

what a beautiful piece of music. for those that wonder it is Moby- god moving across the face of the waters. This song since I found it in high school has been my "favorite song " wit is what will play at my funeral as it is so beautiful. awesome how far along laptops have come.

Just to clarify, it's (Moby & "Oscar The Punk" remix), not ("Moby & Oscar" The Punk Remix).

And a little quote from BRM's link:
"It has come to my attention that some people have taken this page as claiming that Moby Dick really predicted the assassinations of famous people. Please be assured that none of these patterns happened by other than pure random chance.

No laws of probability are violated here, or even stretched a little. That is also true of Drosnin's book, which is the whole point of this page. Once you learn Drosnin's rules (none) and the method (a bit of messy programming) you can find things like this anywhere. The reason it looks amazing is that the number of possible things to look for, and the number of places to look, is much greater than you imagine."

Don't even get me started on Moby.

When my critics find a message about the assassination of a prime minister encrypted in Moby Dick, I'll believe them.
(Newsweek, Jun 9, 1997)

Assassinations predicted by "Moby Dick":

-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi
-President Rene Moawad
-Soviet exile Leon Trotsky
-The Reverend Martin Luther King
-Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss
-The assassin Sirhan Sirhan
-John F. Kennedy
-Abraham Lincoln
-Yitzhak Rabin

And Special Guest star:
Princess Diana

This music wasn't all that bad. But if I have to hear that one by Moby song where he says "Ohh" one more time I'm gonna scream.

Very few of this are riffs and most of them certainly ain't cool.
So here's my list of the coolest guitar riffs.

1. Led Zeppelin - Whole lotta Love (Coolest riff ever, end of story forever and ever amen)

2. Jimi Hendrix - Foxy Lady (just plain damn cool)

3. The Troggs - Wild Thing (The Definition of cool guitar)

4. Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze

5. Metallica - Enter Sandman

6. The Doors - Peace Frog (Rage against the Machine ripped this off for bulls on Parade)

7. The Beatles - Come Together (More a bass guitar riff but still damn cool)

8. Black Sabbath - Paranoid

9. Collective Soul - Where the river flows

10. Cream - Sunshine of your love

11. Creedence Clearwater Revival - I heard it through the grapevine

12. Fleetwood Mac - Oh Well

13. Kasabian - Club Foot

14. Oasis - Wonderwall

15. Queen - Now I'm Here (Who knew Queens could be cool?)

16. Radiohead - Paranoid Android (The best piece of music Radiohead ever made)

17. U2 - One

18. Led Zeppelin - Moby Dick

19. Metallica - Whisky in the Jar (I prefer it to the Thin Lizzy Version)

20. Deep Purple - Smoke on the water

Seriously? Jimi has no soul? are you retarded?

I think Bill Hicks said it best
