Rate The Song Above You Part III

Decent song from Rainbow's first lp....not sure why its called 16th Century Greensleeves since it's not using the same themes/chords as the original written in 1580, but Blackmore has always had a fascination with older medieval and Elizabethean and early Brit folk as his present band shows.
7.5/10 because he is a creative guitarist but the song is nothing special imho.

Now a real Elizabethan song..... from the woods.....

Very good, although I don't usually listen to Jethro Tull. With all due respect to his multifaceted talents, Ian Anderson as a person is deeply antipathetic to me. In particular, I find some of his comments about other legendary and accomplished artists simply inappropriate and downright stupid.
Musically, this is a great song, in that very 16th-century style combined with progressive rock. 8/10.

Good vocals, but sounds like an 80s hair metal B-side...which it probably was. 6.5/10

 

[Hydrazoic Acid]

Very catchy song, I like them. 9/10.

A lesser known track by Sabbath...indeed I dont even have that lp...not one that gets much love.
I like the strange keyboards and its got an interesting melody..... 7.5/10

Interesting composition of song and I like the close up and personal mixing/production of this song 7/10

I am not sure if tribute bands are allowed on this thread but hey ho here it goes

First of all, I'm in shock that this is a live performance...because it sounds incredible. And secondly, it sounds as good if not better than the original version. Lead guitarist and singer kills it. Hendrix isn't even my bag, but this was amazing. 8.5/10

Very catchy and melodious song with a bit naive teenage lyrics. Added to my playlist. Thanks, @Aero. 10/10.

When I listen to this track it reminds me of Uriah Heep time, some nice composition 7.5/10

 

[Tommy Walker]

A classic from Bowie's glam period, meaning I've heard it many times. The riff holds up really well after all of those listens. The lyrics are basically nonsense (I'm assuming he uses them more for how they sound together than what they are actually saying), but they work in creating the vague image of an androgynous character from that scene. 8/10.
