27-15

27. Bulls On Parade - Rage Against The Machine (Evil Empire - 1996)

Even now when i listen to Rage i feel like i should be arrested for even thinking some of the thoughts these guys are singing. and on no other track do they more violently urge you to stand up for whats right, no matter who is in the way.

26. Disarm - Smashing Pumpkins (Siamese Dreams - 1993)

Theres a slight sense of beauty when he sings i'll send this smile over to you. This song is about the jump from childhood to adolesence and the desire to flip everyone the bird. We all have the same capacity to hurt one another. All Billy corgan is saying is send a smile instead.

25. Tired Of Sex - Weezer (Pinkerton - 1996)

Pinkerton is by far the most honest album made in the past ten years. This song is about the overindulgence in sex with the absence of love. I know, i'll go, i'm a sinner but i can't say no.

24. Pretty Noose - Soundgarden (Down On The Upside - 1996)

I'm pretty sure this song is about either killing your girlfriend or killing yourself. Never the less in involves everything a soundgarden song should, insane down tuning, Chris Cornell screaming, and a mention of a snake in reference to satan.

23. Middle Class Gangsters - Matthew Good Band (Underdogs - 1998)

All i have to say: Put on british steal, cause today i'm how your feeling, when everybody up and down my block, it used to matter when we used to rock

22. Above - Finger Eleven (Tip - 1998)

Everytime i meet someone who knows this song i ask them if its pro a God or against?
Its about 50-50. I guess its a personal thing, this is finger eleven at there best, I remember hearing it live and being blown away.

21. November Rain - Guns N' Roses (Use Your Illusions I - 1991)

When i was 9 years old i can recal the video where slash walks outside the church and to the end of the field and plays his guitar solo as if he just drank poison and he was moments away from meeting God. and that is what inspires me to play guitar

20. My My, Hey Hey - Neil Young (Rust Never Sleeps - 1979)

Wonderfull tribute to johnny rotten (the king is gone but not forgotten). I belive Mr. Young sumed up the feelings of every rock and roller:

"Hey Hey, My My, rock and roll will never die
There is more to the picture then meets the eye"

19. You Shook Me All Night Long - AC/DC (Back In Black - 1980)

We all wish we could be as cool as Angus Young. Or at least look that good in a school uniform.

18. Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness - Smashing Pumpkins (Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness - 1995)

When i bought this album i expected to hear some insane guitar pounding riffs that would splatter my brains against the back of my skull. Instead i got this, an instrumental piano piece that pretty much contrast the better part of the rest of the album.

17. Under The Bridge - Red Hot Chili Peppers (Blood Sugar Sex Magix - 1991)

Sure singing about your drug addiction has been done, but this song made it cool. I still can't get over how john frusciante made his guitar sound like that.

16. Nothing Else Matters - Metallica (Metallica - 1991)

Metallica at there best is there 8 minute songs. hands down. Rarly will you find a true metallica find that will disagree with that. This was a song that tens of thousands of teenagers needed to hear. When they played this song live and everyone was singing along so passiontly i felt this wierd sensation come over me. It was like church in a way.

15. Great Gig In The Sky - Pink Floyd (Dark Side Of The Moon - 1972)

Due to the fact i know nothing about singing i'm not sure how hard it is to sing this, but the passion that is behind clare torry's voice while she literarly screams into your ear fills me with a strange sense of glory.

Tune in next time for 14-2!
