Super Freak by Rick James

These are songs i have been listening to recently non-stop. These are not mainstream but are great songs. I am not a big fan of how new bands are seeking for originality and uniqueness and the songs they make are no longer songs but just noise. The vocalist does not have to be american idol standard but at least not irritating. To me rhythm and melody are very important. I really like love psychedlico's vocal in rain, ikimono gakari's vocal. In terms of instrumental, i really like ikimono gakari and the flare (awesome guitar (sugizo!!) and bass work in lyra). Awesome kick ass vocal by kiyoharu in aurora. I mean Aurora and lyra really creates mood and atmosphere. I really can't stand the emo and indie fad right now. some indie is really good like DCFC but i don't understand why all of a sudden indie became so big. I feel that there is no thought put in the process of creating emo songs. I am wondering who else have heard these songs and what their opinions are for these songs. And if you have not heard these songs try these links to sample and leave an opinion.

Link to song is below song name:
