Now, the only songs on this thread that I am familiar with are certain of K-Wise's selections. Normally, music has to age about 10 years before I even care to listen to it. However, I am impressed by certain relatively recent songs:
Eminem - Lose Yourself. I have never before had rap speak to me like that. I was floored. I actually added it to my kareoke repetoire.
Coheed and Cambria - Everything Evil. Melody and complexity unlooked for in a modern "hard rock" band. Very impressed
CKY - 96 Quite Bitter Beings - Black Sabbath would have been proud to have written that riff.
Cake - Comissioning a Symphony in C - Frankly, I think Comfort Eagle is one of those albums like Zoso or Dark Side of the Moon or Aqualung that holds together as a unit perfectly, and that people are going to be pulling out and listening to long after the album as a commercial unit has followed the dodo. This is just the one that makes my hackles stand up quickest.
Evanesence - Bring Me to Life - Say what you will about this band or that band doing the same thing better, this is far and away the best excercise song I have yet run across. It gives me 5 minutes of harder work that I am otherwise capable of without hurting over it. It inspires me.
