Yep. I did. No joy there, though.

This is actually an interesting exercise that's kind of like that "telephone game". It's fascinating to see how different people interpret my stupid clues differently.

To my mind, the main clue is the whole "single chord" deal. Yet, every song guys have posted has normal chord progressions. Some are slower paced than others, but they all have progressions. The song from Hell doesn't. That's what makes it so unusual and I know for a certain, absolute fact that there are very few songs ever recorded or released that use one chord throughout the verses. U2 has done it, but not many others.

It is tough to find that. Some songs are close but they aren't close to the one you describe.

When I think of songs with one guitar chord over and over I think of March Of the Pigs by Nine Inch Nails but, even it changes later.

It's hard to think of songs like that...

Another shot, mostly check and see if this sounds like the singer. I've heard some Modest Mouse in the grocery stores around here lately.

This is the first song that popped into my head after reading what FAX was looking for. It will stay in your head for days and the ba ba ba ba ba ba bahaha kind of fits his description.

The vocal range and subtleties are damn close to the one I'm looking for. Style-wise, I mean. Still, this isn't the vocalist. I can assure you of that.

I tried.

I used to tell Joie that very same thing about him (she introduced me to them). I find myself enjoying their music when I need an emotion release (Razorblade for rage, She's my Ride Home to lose myself in a tune, Into the Ocean or X amount of Words if I feel the need for pop, Dirt Room or The End if I feel the need to get revenge).

Maybe next time Mr. FAX but i cannot...

Okay ... I have to get some work done.

Thanks, Mr. acesn8s and everyone else for all your efforts to assist on this deal. Sorry my clues suck. I really am. But, eventually, we'll get this figured out. I can't wait for you guys to hear this tune ... you'll probably find it abhorrent.

Go back to the store and ask if their music is programmed. If it is ask if you can see their playlist. A lot of retail places used programmed music.

Yep. That's the plan, Mr. Chiefshrink. I'm holding the store manager hostage until those guys cross my palm with a CD and liner notes.

Based on your most recent description, I think it's a band called RA. Gorgeous high tenor. Sorry, embed is disabled.

Nice song, Mr. Joe Seahawk. Not it, but really nice. I like it.

It's funny, I get kind of nervous-like every time I've clicked on one of these youtube deals in the hope that it's the one.

This one is close in terms of the simplicity of the chord structure, but not it. The guy's voice is damn close, too. The one I'm looking for is more ... symphonic, I guess ... this is more like a garage jam. Plus, it's faster in tempo and the drums are more dominant.

EDIT: Oh! There's another one ... hold on ... nope. Too up-tempo with harmonies (mine didn't have harmonies, I don't think). Plus, it has percussion up front. Thanks for helping, though. Seriously.
