"Darkness": Some Darkness tracks

Looking at my iPod touch, which I haven't updated in quite a few years as the battery is pretty much gone, I checked for tracks with the word "Darkness" in it. I'm sure there are many songs/ tracks with the word darkness in it. For instance, there's Lucifer's Friend's "Prince of Darkness" and looking it up at PA, Spock's Beard released a song called "Beware of Darkness". I have an "other" option for other "Darkness" tracks if you don't find anything you particularly like off my list, and feel free to mention any others.

It's not meant to be a contest, and so what if one of these takes most of the votes.











By the way, if you vote other, please mention it, and maybe provide a link to the music, or an embed, if you find one to make it more easily discoverable.

^ Good one, and thanks for the embed.

^ Now that would have given some more competition to this poll methinks. I tend to associate Peter Gabriel with Peter Hammill, and not just because they are both Peter.

Erm, this song by the band The Darkness?   



I had to look it up. Of course technically you wouldn't get points since it's not a track with the word Darkness in it, but you more than make up for it in hilarity.

^ I'm glad to see "Gates of Darkness" get some love. That, "Darkness (11/11)" and "All the Colours of Darkness" and "Darkness (11/11)" are strong per my tastes. I assumed the the VdGG track would be much more popular than it appears to be (one vote in three hours). The forum really has slowed down.

^ I'd be interested to hear any choices off the list as well (prog or not, I don't mind). I like to do polls not just to hopefully expose people to some music they might not know but also to discover new-to-me ones and to rediscover music.

Some stuff has been mentioned that is in my collection, but not on that iPod, such as Dzyan (only Dzyan album I have on that iPod is Electric Silence), and I do have The Residents' The Tunes of Two Cities. Wish I'd explored more deeply, but glad to see them get mentioned.

As for Art of Noise, I do put it under the progressive electronic related label at least. I like that. Been many years since I heard that Manfred Mann; takes me back.

And I enjoyed listening to The Youngbloods track https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLVWxuMsiDQ Being into late 60s psych, and folky music, I've come across them before.

As for Spock's Beard, got mentioned in my first post, but man, I could never get into that band (too Arena hard Rock, AORish, and Neo-Proggish Symph for me), which is not to say that others shouldn't enjoy it. Still, I do think its good to try to step out of one's comfort zone and try things that wouldn't normally suit one's own tastes, and that is why I included other.

My favourite line of the Sound of Silence is 'Hello Darkness my old friend, I've come to talk to you again". No title but expressivly sung no matter what.
