    Yep, life was simpler back when there were only six or seven bands on the internet. Vaguely punk sounding? Well that’s obviously Blink-182. Punk but with bagpipes? Dropkick Murphys. Dude with an acoustic guitar? Oh that’s Dave Matthews Band.

      For me it was: hey check out this cool Muse song! - it’s Radiohead

      Bring Me To Life? Clearly Linkin Park 👌

      Oh, this one? Pendulum. Honestly! (Not Pendulum and I’ve never learned who actually did it but I have a cool unknown track in my collection 👍)

      Good times.

      Oh, and God forbid you ACTUALLY want to download porn unless you fancy playing CP roulette. 😰

        I think every millennial has at least one napster/limewire era “white whale” song. It was awesome and you’d try to determine who actually performed it for years without ever figuring it out. Mine was a punk song listed as Dropkick Murphys but all I know for certain is it definitely was not them. No lyric searches have ever pulled up a match despite the fact that every few years I’d try again on a whim.

        My best guess is that it was probably a late '90s band that never had much of a following beyond whatever local music scene they came from and someone uploaded it from a demo they picked up at a show.

        It might be the song Slam by Pendulum if that helps your search. I remember finding it for the first time on Limewire

          Sadly not. I became mad on Pendulum back in 2005, I’d absolutely recognise it if it was on any of their albums!
