Even though the majority of the music I listen to is from older hard rock / heavy metal bands like Metallica, Anthrax and Slayer, most of the songs that I can listen to are from rock bands, as opposed to metal bands. The ten songs I can listen to over and over again without getting irritated are listed below. Click each song title to open up a new window (or tab) to listen to the song. Enjoy!
10. "Everlong" - Foo Fighters
Was a close call between this and "This Fire" by Franz Ferdinand.
9. "Independence Day" - No Motiv
Yeah, you got me, I stole this from Burnout 3...
8. "Dream On" - Aerosmith
Did some rearranging, this was originally going to be at No. 10 and the above two move down one each.
7. "Paranoid" - Black Sabbath
How can my favourite song and one half of my nametag miss out on this list?
6. "B.Y.O.B." - System of a Down
Love this song to death, and these guys are criminally underrated.
5. "Sex Type Thing" - Stone Temple Pilots
Wasn't sure whether to put B.Y.O.B. or this in the Top 5. Because I've known this song for longer, I'll give this a higher rank.
4. "Under Pressure" - Queen and David Bowie
Freddie Mercury and David Bowie make up two of who I think are the greatest rock singers of all time, along with Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, Sting of The Police and Kurt Cobain of Nirvana. When I say rock, I don't include heavy metal. I have a seperate set of five for that: Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden, James Hetfield of Metallica, Lemmy of Motorhead, Ozzy Osbourne of Black Sabbath, and, as an outsider, I rate Daron Malakian from System of a Down quite highly. They're a very criticised band, and, like My Chemical Romance, they don't deserve that.
3. "Police Truck" - Dead Kennedys
I've always been an unabashed fan of these guys. They weren't the most famous band, or greatest, but there's something about them that I love.
2. "Fade to Black" - Metallica
Yeah, so I lied about which ones I listen to alot. This is one of Metallica's more peaceful tracks. That is, until the solo kicks in.
