Link Exchange

First, some background information.
The Pack's IRC channel is the birthplace of inspiration quite often, and this instance is no exception. One day, we were all sharing links to music and we realised how much we all loved each other's taste in music, it was amazing. So amazing that outward was convinced she'd fallen through to a parallel reality where the improbable is likely, because things like this don't happen often.
The desired outcome of this thread.
The point of this thread is to recreate the conditions of the IRC channel that night, we can all share links to music that we like (I'll provide more information on this in a moment) and perhaps other people wiil like your taste in music, and they'll then end up cursing you as they try to seek out potentially obscure music CDs, but the positive side of this is that you'll have shared some awesome music. And that's great.
How do we go about this?
A good format would be something like this:
---
[Warning if the video includes mildly offensive things, but we should try to find those that don't... but if something does, put a disclaimer in there, that it's something people might want to avoid.]
Band - Track
http://youtube-link
Brief description.
---
That would make it easy for anyone who wishes to discuss something that's linked to just quote the band and track.
Really, it's freeform, so handle your entries however you like, this is your link exchange, as it is that of all the Pack, so it's not up to me how we do it, these are just guidelines which might help for an orderly listing.
Oh and if you want to link to some other host instead of YouTube, feel free, that was just an example too, if your favourite piece of music is hosted by someone else, then simply link to wherever!
All that said...
Have fun! May you find many kinds of music that interest you!
New information added on the 6th of January follows.
Howlitzer pointed something out to me that should be shared. For those of you who are using YouTube links, try adding &fmt=18 to the end of your links (see my post below containing Howlz' links for an example of this). Try the link to make sure it works, and if it does, keep the &fmt=18 there.
The reason for this is because having &fmt=18 on the end of the URL provides better stereo sound, and better sound in these videos can only be beneficial to this thread! So thanks to Howlz for that.
