This one's free to use by anyone who wishes:

 

[Carpe Mortem]

Do abortions count?

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

I can't think of any songs about motherhood that I actually like.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

Can we get a redo?

 

[Internally Deformed]

There's plenty of decent songs about this... even if you need to resort only to songs about motherfucking.

Perhaps CIG could help you out with some rap recommendations in that line.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

I'm just joking. Umm, would I be reamed if I submit a song that briefly plays on motherhood? Cuz that's all I got. Well, I have some REALLY popular motherhood songs that I don't wanna submit. Fuck popular songs.

 

[CiG]

Unoriginal cunts. Just submit whatever, leave your ratings in the hands of the voters.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

No

Reminds me of Ozz.

Birth Control is the shit. Nice pick someone.

 

[Internally Deformed]

Metallica - Mama Said: Obviously a terrible song, but has a certain lol factor that makes it more listenable than I suspect much of the rest of the list will be. 5/10


Pink Floyd - Matilda Mother: Generally speaking I dislike Pink Floyd, but this was pretty good. Better when there aren't any vocals, anyway. 8/10


Swans - Mother Of The World: Freaky and hypnotic and genius. Something to be looked into further – an excellent pick. 9/10


Lightnin' Hopkins - Coffee For Mama: It's blues... what can I say? Like all blues, it's completely mediocre 5/10


Subhumans - Somebody's Mother: Good energy, which is what I generally look for in punk – and intelligent lyrics too. I can't shake the feeling that it's shamelessly ripping something off, though. 7/10


Sufjan Stevens - Fourth Of July: The first ten seconds or so were tolerable. Then the sentimental queerness kicks in. Terrible pretentious lyrics, uninspired composition, just faggy and awful and a waste of my time to listen to. I post on a metal forum to get away from this kind of shit. 1/10


Birth Control - Believe In The Pill: Too much like so many other blues rock tracks to get a really good rating, even if it was one of the more enjoyable tracks here. 6/10


Nat King Cole - My Mother Told Me: I'm not averse to a bit of jazz. But not this kind of jazz... sounded like something from a musical. 5/10


Puscifer - Momma Sed: Not quite as good as Tool, but Maynard James Keenan sure knows how to build an atmosphere. Pretty unique, and one of Puscifier's better songs – I particularly like the vocal layering. Good pick. 10/10


Olivia Hussey - Ave Maria: Flogging a dead horse. 2/10


Eloy - Incarnation Of The Logos: Aside for the amateurish vocals, this is cool stuff. No rush when building atmosphere, and then that bass line that kicks in around 3:30 is mindblowing. The track just keeps on getting better from there. This is a new one for me, which makes me want to uprate it... unfortunately it's not too closely on theme, as the lyrics are more about procreation/beginnings than motherhood (which I take to mean childrearing as well as birth-giving), so I'm going to have to settle for 8/10


O'Death - Angeline : Where did that vomit gif go? Is this folk music? If so, fuck folk music.1/10
