I can't be bothered with remembering how to post songs.

[Brás Garcia de Mascarenhas]

For those who are curious to know why this song is legendary, this video explains it very well.




Not a song but an orchestral ballet, Igor Stravinsky's Le Sacre Du Printemps (Rite of Spring) was so groundbreaking and disruptive at the time that it caused a riot at the premiere. It is even unusual and sometimes bizarre for modern standards, let alone in 1913, quite ahead of it's time.







"Every cool riff has already been written by Black Sabbath. You're either playing it faster or slower or backwards, but they wrote it first." - Rob Zombie

On top of that add Dio's voice and you have a masterpiece.

Steve Earle's mentor was Townes Van Zandt. Naturally, he excels at story songs.
"Copperhead Road" is probably his most famous. He draws the generational parallels between the moonshiners of yesteryear and the pot growers of the 80s when the song was written.
It should be noted that Earle has been clean and sober since the nineties.

Now the revenue man wanted grandaddy bad
Headed up the holler with everything he had
It's before my time but I've been told
He never came back from Copperhead Road

David Gilmour is not metal music, he's the guy from Pink Floyd.
That song High Hopes (Live at Pompeii) builds up and the the epicness starts during 2nd chorus, after 2nd chorus there's that masterpiece electric guitar solo and end of the song is acoustic guitar solo with a piano, it's unbelieveable, I wish I've seen this live, truly masterpiece. Always gets me. <3

I think that songs are not really the instruments themselves but the message and theme and what they want to say. Lyrics are what make a song great, that the melody. It's a marriage. The rest is just icing.
