Ethereal-sounding Middle-Eastern-themed world music piece. Get a bit repetitive, but the atmosphere more than makes up for it, 4/5.
Cracow Klezmer Band - Balkan Dance

Spiral out, keep going.
Lord of the Cheese Whiz
4/5
It's very calm, yet it's also triumphant. It didn't get a full 5/5 cuz of my personal taste; I like instrumentals, but not enough to put some in a top 50.
What I WOULD put in a top 50, however...

Everybody knows Heaven is a place on Earth, but so is Hell! It's true, look it up.
10/10: Putting aside its new status as a Meme Song, it really is a remarkable piece of work. That watery, ethereal production (Brian Eno is a musical god, I swear), the neurotic-evangelical-preacher vocal performance of Byrne, the guitar breakdown at the end-perfection.
Random screeching synths aside the track doesn't develop much. Futuristic-sounding, good for having it play on the background but ultimately boring, 2/5.
Akira Yamaoka - Nightmarish Waltz (Silent Hill 4 The Room OST)
It doesn't really sound like a waltz at all, but outside of that it does its job well. Spooky and ethereal, mysterious, but at the same time a little intense. I like it.
I'll stay on the same duo as last time:
Taishi ft. Mitose Noriko - The Personalizer

It sounds nice alright, but think it gets a little too sugary. 6/10.
Pretty standard, run-of-the-mill Nu Metal track, 3/5.
Spiral out, keep going.
This is a little too soft and inoffensive. Idk, easy listening never was a genre I liked. 4/10.
He'll take the case!
8/10. I really should listen to Garbage more than just this song and Stupid Girl. They've got a good sound and I generally find this song enjoyable.
Squeeze - Pulling Mussels (From the Shell)
Nice relaxed Brit rock, but there's something about the melody that doesn't quite click with me, 3/5.
"A Little Less Conversation"
Review either or both.
Spiral out, keep going.
…I must admit to my shame that for years I've thought that the Junkie XL remix was actually the original. 
But I guess it sounds a bit too modern for that. Still, although the two versions are similar I think I prefer the remix, it has a bit more… substance? and feels a bit more dynamic. It's one of those cases where lenghening the track has its benefits too. Easy to listen repeatedly.
Aight, now I'm gonna post a few Avenged Sevenfold songs, starting… with their most obscure album, of course.
Avenged Sevenfold - Turn the Other Way
Back when they were a little… different. And 19 years old. And only four members.
6.5/10. Well.. You were certainly right about them being different.
I'm barely there, I'm everywhere
6/10. It's okay, I guess but it's kind of repetitive and it feels like the type of song I'll forget about pretty quickly.
King Crimson - Starless
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfR6_V91fG8
It's 12 minutes.
Starts out melancholic and desolate, a bit overdoes the "less is more" approach meandering in the first two thirds of the track, but quickly raises the tempo and develops the prior ideas into a spectacular finale, 4/5.
Ends at 24:24.
Spiral out, keep going.
9/10: It's Beethoven. Even if I might not seek this out, it still sounds great.
Love your hair, hope you win
9/10 Yes, just yes. That combination of the funky sound and violins are just great.
Dolly Parton - Here You Come Again

: Credit to the South African musicians featured on this song, who lay down an infectious and uplifting Afro-funk groove. Unfortunately, they're forced to share space with the arsehole who managed the Sex Pistols (about whom that band's former members have not one kind word to say, just getting that out there). McLaren does nothing but kill his own song's vibe by hollering brain-dead nonsense with no sense of rhythm or purpose. 5/10
: I must admit, for all she has a truly enormous reputation Dolly Parton is not a musician whose catalogue I've bothered to explore yet. Of course, I've still heard her hits via pop radio and general Pop-Cultural Osmosis - this song included. I can't detect much about this which is country, beyond perhaps Parton's accent, but it's nonetheless a lovely little pop number, cooked with just enough sugar and gloss to be sweet but not sickening. 7/10

be nice to benjamin it's not his fault he got beat up by a microbe
From which country is this? 
Pretty cool in any case. It's minimalistic in its composition, but the subdued guitar in the background and vocal work give a slightly… sad? vibe to the song, without being overbearing. And it certainly works better without some guy "hollering nonsense" as said above. 
So yeah, I could listen to more of this easily.
Continuing my Avenged Sevenfold series, this time with Waking the Fallen:
Avenged Sevenfold - And All Things Will End
I don't know if I'll do every album, considering there's seven (and a half) of them, but probably at least two more.

10/100 - N-th rate hard rock grooves with a vocalist going for an awkward mash-up of a failed Metallica cover band's take on James Hetfield and the yowl-y quasi-grit of some forgettable earlier 2000's post-grunge act, now with leftover riffs that make Guns N Roses sound like Demolition Hammer by comparison. They try to mix things up by throwing an out of place clean break but the chugga-chugga Pantera riffs more or less do the opposite of capitalizing on any of the tension before they suddenly decide they're a forgettable Dissection clone for a brief moment. Some bands are held back by being unable to focus on their own strong points amidst their own eclecticism and this is similar to that... sans any strong points.
6-6.5/10. This song has some cool riffs but the crap production drags the rating down. I can barely hear the drums. Also, I found the vocals to be kind of silly.
Yes - Owner of a Lonely Heart
8/10: Great riff and great chorus, even if it's not always what I have in mind when I think of Yes.
It's decent but I'm not big into piano music. 6.5/10.
A bit of unusual material from them (for me. at least) in that it has the classic rock'n'roll feel to it yet a bit heavier than that. It's one of the "simple-yet-effective" kind of songs, but I do feel that it could use to have a bridge in it, 4/5.
Robyn Adele Anderson - Numb (Linkin Park Cover)
Beautiful rendition… The instrumentation arguably fits the lyrical content more than in the original, although the range of emotions in the singer's voice is a bit more limited − it keeps the fragility but loses some of the anger, if that makes sense. Still an interesting version.
Continuing the tour with City of Evil…
Avenged Sevenfold - Strength of the World
Someone keep this one hidden from Stillborn. Just kidding.
edit: Sorry, changing the song on second thought.

55/100 - Like a modernized take on classic krautrock with its ghostly ambience and strangely floaty singing but ultimately lacking any kind of cohesive narrative or theme to tie it together or give a sense of growth and progression. Sonic wallpaper; pretty at a glance but dull when stared at.
Irfan - Simurgh
