coolest damn song you've ever heard?
 

What would be the one (or several) songs that just sound DAMN awesome? Something that makes you get up and move your ass off, or builds you up to go f*** the world?

I have some weird choices... but I have to say:

Come with me - P. Diddy from Godzilla
Trip Like I Do - Crystal Method
(or anything from the Vegas album)
Elba - E.S. Posthumus
Ready Steady Go - Paul Oakenfold

and I have more... but not that I can think of.

If you like "Come with me" you should try "Kashmir" on its own.
Uh, I dunno, "Eye of the Tiger" is pretty much the way to go for me. Foo Fighter's "My Hero" works okay, as does Bush's "Machinehead." I shamefacedly admit to "Lose Yourself," but I guess the oddest one for me is AC/DC's "Thunderstruck."
And I just noticed that two of mine are in "Varsity Blues," god. I am a member of the MTV generation.

This was a really good question, actually. Went back over my music collection to think about it, and realized I hadn't listened to most of those songs in a while. Thanks!

red hot chili peppers - walkabout
311 - this too shall pass
this is our journal - ricochet
oysterhead - army's on ecstasy

Swervedriver - Duress

Can't describe it.... too damn good.

man right now, it's I'll Take You There from the Staple Singers.
CLASSIC track from Stax. Steve Cropper on the guitar, unmistakable. and the singers vocals are so ill

Devin Townsend - Bad Devil
Foetus - The Throne of Agony
Sonic Youth - Shaking Hell
Cex - Earth-Shaking Event

skycamefalling - "laura palmer"
poison the well - "parks and what you meant to me"
in pieces - "your switch to the sun"
in pieces - "a mistake i'd make again"
boys night out - "a torrid love affair"
in reverent fear - "yearbook signing party"

RJD2 "Ghostwriter"
Miles Davis "Miles Runs the Vodoo Down"

Very productive thread -- I just spend 90 minutes DL songs. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions! :)

Korn- Blind, this song ALWAYS gets me pumped up.

The newer Marlyn Manson album is growing on me though.
