Picking numbers 6 through 10 of my favorite hard rock songs proved very difficult. So, I ended up making a further division of favorites. Below is my next set of Hard Rock songs, and later I will put up two other lists: My five favorite Southern Rock songs and my favorite "One Rock Wonders" bands.
8. Rage Against the Machine: Guerilla
Radio: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0kJLW2EwMg
9. Monster Magnet: Space
Lord: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dscfeQOMuGw

Black Sunshine is a unique choice from White Zombie.
ReplyDeleteGreat lists Charles, looking forward to that "One Rock Wonders" just to see what your individual taste will be there.
ReplyDeleteAnd looking back I noticed #1 on your metal list- "Symphony of Destruction". I've listened to that one a lot while writing a particular chapter in one of my WIP's, though I was listening to the Nightwish version.
Lost me on these ones, my friend. It's good to be different. :)
ReplyDeleteI ditto Bernard Lee DeLeo, Charles.
ReplyDeleteI love Bullet the Blue Sky. No one seems to remember that song, so good on you.
ReplyDeleteU2 tops my list of fav bands...seen them a few times as well...rage....nice...and white zombie...i need to check out monster magnet...not one that i know...
ReplyDeleteThat U2 song is rarely heard on radio as they more interesting in overkilling songs like "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and other tripe. It is an excellent song.
ReplyDeleteMonster Magnet is a great choice. The entire c.d. kicks ass.
You either like their politics or not, but ya gotta admit that RATM created some outstanding music.
Alex, I love the little spoken word stuff in that.
ReplyDeleteDavid J., I've heard the Nightwish song. Like them quite a bit.
Bernard, most of these are more recent than the top five. I bet you'll know the southern rock ones
Oscar, I suspected that would be the case. :)
Riot Kitty, the only really hard rock song in U2s repertoire. I love the poetry of the lyrics.
Brian, Monster Magnet has a bunch of pretty good songs, particularly Bummer. They are often called Stoner rock.
G. B., I liked Sunday Bloody Sunday but it sure did get old. I like a lot of Rage.
Your tastes are always instructive!

Charles, in this list U2 is the only one I'm familiar with. But then, I haven't listened to a lot of hard rock. I grew up on pop music and I think I'm growing old on it too.
ReplyDeleteGreat songs. Haven't heard "Space Lord" in a long while, and it's a favorite.
ReplyDeleteCloudia, diplomatically said. :)
ReplyDeletePrashant, I'm not a big U2 fan but I love this song.
Ty, such cool lyrics too
Charles-my son and you would jam!
