Wow... Sticking with Christmas carols, "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" especially as done by Trans-Siberian-Orchestra, and "Do You Hear What I Hear?". ** ~~[[S He DAISY]]~~SHeDAISY's version of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v77O460dDLw "Jingle Bells"] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivfH5c2bq64&feature=related "Deck The Halls"]. * The hymn "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God" tells the story of a climactic battle between the forces of Good on earth and all the devils in Hell. Just as things are looking bad, the music reaches its final verse, where the organ kicks it into high gear as Jesus comes onto the battlefield and utterly routs Satan. ** For even more awesome, try John Rutter's arrangement, with an 80-voice choir, organ, and orchestra. The third verse is just the men singing, in a minor key, and sounds as dark as hell itself. The fourth verse builds back up to full power in triumph and joy. Line 102 ⟶ 101: * Anything by the late Moses Hogan, who arranges spirituals for full choirs completely a capella. Particularly awesome pieces include "Battle of Jericho", "Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel?", and "Elijah Rock". * [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tyTErGO538 "Kedushah"] is an immensely powerful prayer, building to a crescendo of "ANI ADONAI ELOHEICHEM!" (I AM THE LORD YOUR G-D!) * [https://web.archive.org/web/20081028223523/http://http/://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uc01ASDJT8 "Nearer My God to Thee"] aka the soundtrack to the sinking of the RMS Titanic. * [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4_i-6QPjZ0 "Hallelujah, Praise Jehovah"]. It's downright goosebump-inducing when there's a strong bass singer to back up the congregation singing it. * [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Pmj3iCDxqk "Yehei Yehei"] by The Chevra. It's just five words, "yehei shlama rabba min shemayah" (May there be abundant peace from heaven), repeated through the entire song, but DAMN if it isn't catchy! Also makes awesome dance music. * Back to Christmas music: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n543eKIdbUI "Angels We Have Heard on High"] by The Piano Guys. The way four guys turn one piano and a piece of paper into at least six different instruments to perform an absolutely beautiful rendition of this classic hymn (along with a medley of other familiar snippets) is amazing. == Grunge == Line 300 ⟶ 299: * [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWTFG3J1CP8 More Tetris], but with a twist: It's the complete history of the Soviet Union, sung to the theme. It's impossible to stop listening. * "O Magnum Mysterium" by Tomas Luis de Victoria, especially as sung by the Boston Camerata. 2:32 of pure harmony. There are some pieces of music that make you stand up and cheer, and there are some that make you just lie down and listen. This is one of the latter. * [[Jim Henson\|Muppet.]] [[Queen\|Bohemian.]] [[~~This~~Punctuated! IsFor! ~~Sparta~~Emphasis!\|Rhapsody.]] The faithfulness to the original video is just astounding (though it ''did'' cut out the famous guitar solo right before the equally famous 'Opera' section.) Someone even made a video in which the two videos played in perfect simultation. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBaO75n5-Ho&feature=related It will astound you.] (Starts around 0:15.) * [[Buckethead]] is so great he can make a [[Funk]] and Blue grass hybrid and make you enjoy it. * What happens when someone blends the lyrics of the Nat King Cole classic "Nature Boy" with the [[Mad Men]] theme? Well, an actual band was assembled to give us [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEj0z0maxzM this treat], with the icing on this cake courtesy of the vocals of Allison Williams (daughter of NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams).
