Every Monday I intend to post a music video (and a few words explaining my choice) I invite you to join me by doing same in the comments section below. As the forum (hopefully) grows my aim is that we begin to inspire our fellow Steemians to broaden their musical horizons by listening to the music that inspires us. The only thing I ask is that (where possible) every song we listen to is played nice and loudly on headphones or speakers in order that we capture it’s true essence.
As more Steemians join this venture there is also going to be the possibility of being rewarded for our musical tastes via the amount of upvotes each song receives. That said please never feel awkward about posting a track, a guilty pleasure or even your own musical ventures. I have an extremely wide range of musical interests but also understand that music like beauty is very much in the eye of the beholder. As such I may play my chosen song, but who am I to define what constitutes good music.
Hey hey dude, it’s been a while since I dropped you a tune...
This one is short and sweet however it’s a truly beautiful piece.
A solo composition by the insanely talented RHCP guitarist
John Frusciante, headphones on dudes this is class.
John Frusciante - Ramparts
EDIT.
For those interested, here is a much, much longer version. It never gets old...

One of my favourite parts of Mondays on STEEMit,
This one caught me funny this week. Weezer has recently covered Africa by Toto. Well, Toto has answered by covering a Weezer song! Sounds good too.
I think more bands should be doing this.

Ha awesome I think someone posted the Weezer Africa cover recently (it may have even been you) so it's interesting to hear the reply .. which is actually pretty awesome .. and certainly has my seal of approval! Tit for tat covers could be a great new musical movement that would be sure to unearth some unexpected gems, equally an excellent way to revive some flagging careers. I like it!! Thanks for the music my friend, I really enjoyed this one.

Another Irish one this week. I saw Sinead O'Connor perform in this in The Olympic Ballroom in Dublin in 1986 supporting the Waterboys and it just blew me away.

Hey @deirdyweirdy another great choice .. what an artist, and a voice that both creates an entire genre and encapsulates a moment in time .. some balancing act eh? Alas I've not yet seen her live .. but I caught The Waterboys a few years back and they're still excellent! Thank you for the music my friend .. I very much enjoyed this trip down memory lane.

Nice song I think this band has a very similar sound to Muse.
In the spirit of that, this is perhaps one of my all time favorite songs. It just resonates with me more than so many others not sure why.
Muse - madness

Hey @cmplxty . great choice! I love Muse, in fact they grew up not far from me and they still often come back to do the off gig. I've seen them a few times (Glastonbury festival being the last time) and they are brilliant, such talented musicians. This is a great track .. love the reverberating sounds. Excellent choice my friend, thank you for the music.

Thanks for this blast from the past mate .. in terms of music, I'm in an 80s frame of mind at the moment so it fits like a glove. Another excellent and leftfield choice my friend, thank you for the music.

Hey my friend .. another stone cold classic .. I love this track! I love how they worked it into the film Apocalypse Now, brilliant scene! I've been meaning to watch the Doors movie again for some time now and this has just spurred me on. Definitely right up there as one of their very best songs, such brooding atmosphere and presence .. pure class. Thank you for the music my friend, I really enjoyed this one!

Nice song. In its style somewhat very familiar
I contemplated a little and came up with this song. Heppner made many popular dark songs in the 90s and 2000s, here with Witt.

Ah nice track @iamvilradio .. loving the eclectic and eccentric vibes and beat. Some shades of Beck, but equally a unique sound of his own. Thank you for the introduction and your inspired choice of music, I really enjoyed listening to this.
