i made up a quiz, take it with me?
ok, here goes.
In no paticular order, list the 10 top songs you would say you have listened to the most in the past 2 months, and why they qualify for such a list.
My Top 15
Artist - Album - Song Name
~Why its on the list
~Tool - 10,000 Days - "The Pot"
It shows that Tool still uses analog to record, and even on a digital medium sounds fucking phenominal. It's a big buildup in a song. Though a real guitar-heavy album, every instrument sounds like trademark Tool; and this song just kicks ass in general.
~Collective Soul - Collective Soul - "Where The River Flows"
This is just a great rock song, good mood changes within the song. It doesn't sound like "December" or "Shine", 2 of their big singles.
~Clutch - Robot Hive/Exodus - "10,000 Wintesses"
Very original rock band....from Maryland? i like the hard rock with well-layered keyboard instruments, the keyboardist used an Organ, a Clavinet, and an Electric Piano on the album. The lyrics add up to about....weird, they dont seem to truly add up.
~David Lanz - Skyline Firedance - "Vesuvius"
David Lanz is an extraordinary pianist and songwriter. As the song title might suggest, the song is about Mount Vesuvius, more specifically towards its volcanic eruption that destroyed the city of Pompeii, Italy in the year 79 AD. And my sister can play like the whole album! I've seen his sheet music, this guy must have much larger hands than I. An octave reach to him isnt a stretch at all. And when was the last time you heard a glorious Glissando in a Piano piece; rock on I say.
~Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath - "NIB"
Such an easy riff, but it always kicks ass. Tony Iommi almost always recorded 2 guitar solos, one on the left side, one on the right side. Listen to it through headphones, the solos ALWAYS complement each other. Also, its about Satan seducing someone, spoken in the first person.
~Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon - "Time"
I bought a 30th anniversary edition vinyl re-release. Sounds fuckin amazing. I also watched a 2 hour documentary that contained interviews with all the band members. David Gilmour sat at the console, showing EXACTLY what he did for certain things on the album. He also described his process of writing a guitar solo; which is actually writing around 5 of them and adding the best parts of each together (in a conceptual music-writing sense)
~Stone Sour - Stone Sour - "Bother"
If you liked the soft/acoustic songs on Slipknot's last studio album, you would like this song. You've probably heard it on the radio but don't know what it is until you hear it.
~Ultraspank - Progress - "Click"
Its got a groove that I cant truly express, great hook. I like the heavy guitars and syth fusion. Bass has this.....springy like sound, I dig it.
~Tim Steele - Outside My Dreams - "Seven"
Solo album from the drummer of the band I've been working with. A very styled texture for the instruments. A techo version of this song would kick ass. He really does have a nice voice, but with the band he gets masked so much behind the kit.
~Emerson Lake & Palmer - Trilogy - "From The Beginning"
Good Guitars, creative keys. The guitars sound really crisp, and rich. The bass guitar should be louder. Good song to chill .
