I prefer the one that's best. Usually it's the studio recoding, but I can mention a handful og songs that's way better live.

Run the Jewels

 
 
Run the Jewels is a colabration between the recent underground hip hop star Killer Mike and underground master producer/rapper EL-P, who produced Killer Mike's last album, 2012's already classic "R.A.P. Music". They've both got something huge going on nowadays, but this totally takes the cake. Killer Mike's agressive rap over El-P's dark, lo-fi, dirty beats are just stunning. Well, can't forget EL'P's magnificent raps either. The latter gave us Run the Jewel's best verse. Check out the first verse on "A Christmas Fucking Miracle". IMMENSE! The flow on this album, by both guys, are incredible. It's stunning. Breath taking. Amazing!
 
Kanye West and Jay-Z get's all the attention, while EL-P is almost overrlooked every single time people talk about producers. Here'a fun fucking fact: EL-P has created one of the world's best and most innovative records, no matter genre. That's not just my opinion, that's a fact. I've had this as y third best album of the year, but I have to admit; that's not true. This is THE album of the year.

Listen to the opening verse, guys. Listen to that!
 
And even better, listen to the opening verse to his song:

God fucking damn! Album of the year!
 
 
Edit: They released the album for free as well.

Awesome! Of course youcan't promise anything, but it is worth a try and I am sure you'll find something to enjoy about the series. It is very true to the original stories despite being modernized and can't be compared to Elementary, or the recent Sherlock Holmes films. It's way closer to the original source. And if it doesn't work out for you you can always go back to watching The Hound of the Baskervilles (1939), The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1939) and the other classic Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce films, but these two mentioned are the best ones. Or Sherlock Holmes (series, 1954) or The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes. But it is worth a try and I am sure you'll enjoy it, despite not knowing anything about your taste at all.
 
The films and series I mentioned are recommended by the way. Great, great adaptations worthy of everybody's time.

First of all thanks for actually replying to my post instead of pushing it aside with retarded gifs like some other people... and secondly I have been hearing a lot of great things about this show and how well done it is, so in an effort to not make me seem like a total dick, I think I might at least try to watch the first season sometime soon.. actually your post in particular has sparked my interest to at least give it a chance, but I'm not promising anything I might still not like it xD

Everyone's entitled their opinion and that's cool. And I'm a bit like you. I'm not too fond of "modernization" either, but every now and then it works out just fine, and this is one example on this. Sherlock is truly an excellent series, and while not on par with some of the films and earlier series, still amazing. The reason for "modernizing" are obviously the fact that there's already half a million films and TV-series based on Sherlock Holmes. It was time for something new. Despite not being a fan of "modernization" just like myself I would recommend you to check out. It's brilliant. Truly is.
 
The chemistry between Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman are excellent and the acting is great for most part, it's well written and well directed. There's just not much to put your finger on here. If I have to put my finger on something "weak" I would have to say "The Hounds of Baskerville". Not a bad episode at all, just not on par with the rest of the series.
 
And about the ending (BEWARE! SPOILER!):
 
I've only seen the last season once as soon as it came out so I might be a bit off here, but the big truck and the man on the bicycle are the main things to watch here. I'm sure Sherlock fixed some help and landed on something soft in back of the truck, and while this happened a bicyclist jolting against Watson made him miss it and it all seems real. I'm also sure he used the of the small balls seen earlier in that episode (or the previous?) one to stop his puls. Hide a ball under your armpit and squeeze and you're making it hard for the blood to come through as one of your major arteries is there, your pulse will gradually slow down and then completly disappear.
 
I'm not sure as I am not an expert, but I believe this might be the thing. I gotta rewatch both seasons soon enough, though. I might be far off as it is almost two years since I watched the episode, but that's how I remember it at least.
 
 
Elementary is awful by the way. Godawful series.
