Carta Immense - Iglood Together (New Song 2011) HD

"Iglood Together" by Carta Immense was the Number 1 song for 2011 on the list of rock songs published in January. The vocals and guitar playing are among the best ever in rock. It seems their decision to make the drumming not so heavy and loud was a good one, in order to let the great singing be heard.  This decision could be the difference one way or the other when it comes time for me to update the 100 Best Rock Songs List.


The four or five songs on the 2011 list are very close in terms of quality and greatness, and could really change the top 20 of the 100 Best list.

These lists are based on my comparing many songs, and the lists are part of my opinion, not based on lists by other writers, and obviously not based only on what is on the radio, though I do listen to the radio. Please refer to the list "25 Best Songs of 2011".  It is my list of best rock songs for last year, though I allowed some crossover songs, and some are alternative, pop, and metal songs.

Note: I take no responsibility or credit for the description or words on the video.  The song and video are the property of their owners and in this capacity, I'm only a writer/music reviewer.  I do not change the title of a post unless I think it's a good idea.  This time I took a word out because it seemed to be in favor of downloading the song and I'm not involved in this decision, I tell readers to buy songs and CDs, but so far I haven't found this song or any CD by Carta Immense available for purchase.

Nicki Minaj

I was happy Saturday after purchasing three song downloads, all three were Nicki Minaj, including two versions of "Starships" and the Explicit version of "Stupid Hoe".  I like the song "Stupid Hoe" though I doubt I would ever write or record that kind of lyrics.  But everyone should do what they want to do in music.  This song is much more interesting and better, in my opinion, than most of the hip-hop songs I've heard and many of the pop songs on the radio these days.  Although, you know what, there are some great pop songs on the radio now.  Pop music seems to be getting better and hopefully it will return to the level of '80s and '70s pop music.

Nicki Minaj - Starships

This is the Explicit Version of "Starships" by Nicki Minaj. I would recommend the edited version for people who can't listen to or don't like explicit versions of songs. But I don't think we should prevent people from hearing songs because I believe in freedom of speech, freedom of expression, and freedom of information.

It's a great pop song! Even more, this is one of the best pop songs right now, and in my opinion, one of the best pop songs of all time.

"Starships" was released as a single early this month, February 2012. Today, during the afternoon, was the first time I heard the radio-edit version of the song on the radio, and I've been listening to that pop station, which plays a lot of dance-pop, consistently for about two weeks and a big reason was to hear that song. I'm not sure why it took so long for them to play it but maybe they had to edit it more. However, I already heard this song on YouTube and wanted it on the radio too.

Is this the fastest a pop song reached a legitimate best pop songs list which covers many years? I would have to say maybe, as today I begin writing about my list of Best Pop Songs and "Starships" by Nicki Minaj is on the list immediately, after less than a month. Note: I haven't decided how many songs will be on the list.

A bit more...This is an amazing pop song with superb singing and music. The melody, the beat, the lyrics, the background vocals, and the way the song changes are all marvelous and, at the same time, make this a happy, intelligent, and very interesting song. It's also a very catchy song. I am going to purchase the download of the Starships Explicit Version and probably also the Starships Edited Version. I like Nicki Minaj, "Starships" is one of the best pop songs and one of my favorite songs.

The list below is my list of best rock songs of 2011. Metal and pop songs also could get on the list.

A very 'immense' year of 2011 as Carta Immense goes to Number 1 on rock songs list

With three songs in the top 6, they were the band of the year, followed by Cherri Bomb at Number 2 on the list.  Foo Fighters have five songs on the list, so it was a big year for them.

This is an update on what I'm doing.  The top three songs were very close and now there are four that are right together at the top.  Also, I am trying to decide which songs will make the list between 20 and 25 and it will be another 25 Best Rock Songs based on all the songs I've heard, including crossovers from other genres.  I hope to post the list in the night time/early morning after midnight.  

I meant it will be another 25 list, the same number of songs as the 25 list for 2010.

I put this below the other post the explain what I meant.

This is just to say it's going to take some more time, but hopefully today I will be able to finish and post the list of songs.  Thank you for your patience.

At this moment (around 7 AM on Monday), there are three bands with their songs very close at numbers 1, 2, 3 ...  I will continue to compare those songs and complete the rest of the list, if possible, sometime today.

Note: I did buy two of the albums, and I will buy the third when it's released.  They are three great bands and three of the best ever.

Second clue about the Best Songs of 2011.

Forget my last clue.

By comparison, using YouTube, which is God's gift to us, let me just add:

Screw Congress!  Screw SOPA and PIPA!!

These music videos are how we can compare songs and know which is the best!

Oh yeah, you rock YouTube.  

It's taking longer than I expected to finish the 2011 list, so I will finish it later.  But not too much later.  Check back.
