This post (http://www.geekforum.org/viewtopic.php?t=3664) by Dark Shade sparked the idea of having a Mystery Song Contest in which each week there are five new 10-second song clips entered into the contest.
Each sound clip obviously has no name attached to it - that's your job to find out using your infinate wisdom. Furthermore, each clip doesn't contain any significant lyrics that could be Googled. Oops. And if it wasn't already hard enough, each sound clips has been recorded in reverse. Actually, just kidding about that reverse part. That would be pretty messed up if they were.
Here are this week's entires:
Song 1 (http://www.gotthegeek.com/mystery_song/05-26-2006/song1.mp3) - Difficulty: Easy
Song 2 (http://www.gotthegeek.com/mystery_song/05-26-2006/song2.mp3) - Difficulty: Moderate
Song 3 (http://www.gotthegeek.com/mystery_song/05-26-2006/song3.mp3) - Difficulty: Hard
Song 4 (http://www.gotthegeek.com/mystery_song/05-26-2006/song4.mp3) - Difficulty: Hard, but sounds familar to me!
Song 5 (http://www.gotthegeek.com/mystery_song/05-26-2006/song5.mp3) - Difficulty: Hard
Respond with the correct artist and song title. Who ever responds with the most correct answers will win an autographed picture of Bobby Dogerson (http://www.geekforum.org/viewtopic.php?t=1611)!

Song 1: Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Iron Maiden
As for the rest, I have no idea...
-
Song 4 is Halcyon+On+On by Orbital. I'd know that one in my sleep.

Yes, you got it. I'm surprised someone was able to get that one that quick. For any of you going, "Man, I think I know where that song is from!" It's from the beginning of the movie "Hackers" when they move to the city.

Accually I think its Hallowed Be Thy Name. But its been a long time since I heard Mariner so it might be that.

Unless I'm hallucinating (possible), it's also on the Mortal Kombat soundtrack.

It *is* on the Mortal Kombat soundtrack, but I know it because I hear it almost every Saturday at the dance club I frequent.

It is Hallowed Be Thy Name. Though this song clip did not come from an Iron Maiden song. :-o

Thats why the timing is off. No clue who the cover band is.

Well, I knew it was Iron Maiden, and it's quite hard to differentiate between solos so I just guessed. :P

So do we get the answers?

The answers are as follows:
Song 1: "Hallowed be Thy Name" by Cradel of Filth (Cover)
Song 2: "Down" by Candiria
Song 3: "Feel Like an Enemy" by GZA
Song 4: " Halcyon On On" by Orbital (Opening song in the movie 'Hackers')
Song 5: "Drumbone" by Blue Man Group

It's a bummer I missed the contest. But I do really like GZA's "Feel Like An Empty." I haven't know their music long, but that song is just completely awesome to listen to. I'm sure some of you guys liekt his track too.
Feel Like An Enemy by Genius/GZA
