"Yuuki Mishima for Tekken"

Last updated: 2016-06-09 03:47pm
OOPS I STARTED THIS THREAD A DAY LATE I GUESS I'LL HAVE TO DO TWO SONGS TODAY

So here is a thread that I update every day in the month with a descending list of my 30 favourite songs ever, each with their own stats and facts.

AND YOU CAN DO IT TOOOOOO

It's a simple thread concept but I really wanted to do something like this and I might as well use the new month as an excuse to do it. And I'm limiting myself to a maximum of two songs by the same artist. Go!

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a1/Radiohead.okcomputer.albumart.jpg
#30 - Exit Music (For A Film) // Radiohead
Released: 21 May 1997 (On the album "OK Computer")
Comment: I always have an affection for the songs on albums that get overshadowed by the others. Exit Music is a fantastic rock-style ballad deeply inspired by Romeo & Juliet. Shock of shocks - Radiohead will get another song on this list.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/0a/Mad_Love_-_Lush.jpg/220px-Mad_Love_-_Lush.jpg
#29 - De-Luxe // Lush
Released: 26 February 1990 (On the EP "Mad Love")
Comment: A bizzare love song with a guitar melody that'll be forever stuck in your head best sums up Lush's De-Luxe.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/ae/Favourite_Worst_Nightmare.jpg
#28 - 505 // Arctic Monkeys
Released: 18 April 2007 (On the album "Favourite Worst Nightmare")
Comment: This was one of the songs that got me into music in the first place. I don't really care for the Arctic Monkeys pre-AM besides this song (and Brianstorm, obvs) but I love it. I also love how it explodes halfway through. However, it's not my favourite Arctic Monkeys song...

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/43/Alice_In_Chains-Facelift.jpg
#27 - Man In The Box // Alice In Chains
Released: August 21, 1990 (On the album "Facelift" - was later released as a single in 1991)
Comment: If you've ever paid attention to my musical taste (which I don't recommend doing as listening to me talk for too long CAN cause irreparable brain damage) you'll know I like Alice In Chains. It was brutal to narrow down their songs to just one (or two?!?!?!? dundun!) but, well, I've managed it.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/3c/TheFaintDanseMacabre.jpg/220px-TheFaintDanseMacabre.jpg
#26 - Agenda Suicide // The Faint
Released: August 21, 2001 (On the album "Danse Macabre" - was later released as a single in 2002)
Comment: Thank you for introducing me to this band, SSX 3.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f2/Danse_Macabre_Remixes.jpg/220px-Danse_Macabre_Remixes.jpg
#25 - Glass Danse (Paul Oakenfold Remix) // The Faint
Released: April 1, 2003 (On the album "Danse Macabre Remixes")
Comment: Speaking of SSX 3, this is my favourite song of The Faint, and it's a bloody dance remix. This song is great for any adrenaline-filled situation.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/0d/Van_Halen_album.jpg/220px-Van_Halen_album.jpg
#24 - Ain't Talkin' 'bout Love // Van Halen
Released: February 10, 1978 (On their self-titled album, later released as a single in October of the same year)
Comment: Van Halen is the OG when it comes to the heavier side of rock, as far as I'm concerned. One of my all time favourite bands and one of the first I ever really listened to. This song is my favourite of theirs.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/16/Queens_of_the_Stone_Age_-_%E2%80%A6Like_Clockwork.png
#23 - Keep Your Eyes Peeled // Queens Of the Stone Age
Released: May 31, 2013 (On the album "... Like Clockwork")
Comment: It's heavy, it's simple, it's haunting, and it's the musical equivalent of a shot of whisky. There's not much more that you can ask for.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/a9/Police-album-reggattadeblanc.jpg/220px-Police-album-reggattadeblanc.jpg
#22 - Message In A Bottle // The Police
Released: October 2, 1979 (On the album "Reggatta de Blanc"... Fuck, is that hard to spell on command.)
Comment: I don't really like The Police, but no one, and I do mean no one can dispute how awesome Message In A Bottle is. Also happens to be one of my favourite songs to play drums to.

This would be crazy difficult for me to do, but I do wanna try. I guess I'd have to come up with a list of my favourite 30 first. Should we just post them on here and edit the post as the Days Go By?

Yeah, I imagine that would be best as everyone's list stays in one post.

Sigrev2's 30 10/10 Tunes, In No Order
not limited in artist usage (although i don't plan on including duplicates)
---

http://i.imgur.com/5UfJjJY.jpg
#30: My Baby's Taking Me Home / Sparks
First song on the list is this number from a band I've only become a fan of comparatively recently. A song of repetitive nature, the lyrics consisting entirely of the title being sung with very little breaks in the pattern and the same piano line is hammered away throughout the duration of the track, but don't let that dissuade you. The song builds off of its repetition, and you might need to listen a good few times for it to really click; even in its repetitive nature, the song is constantly changing into a different monster. The song slowly morphs into a simple piano driven-piece, to a minor-key baroque pop piece, to an orchestral rock piece, with many more pieces inbetween all flowing perfectly into one another. The song never stays the same, while also managing to stay the same - does that make sense? It's a fantastic track from a fantastic album from a fantastic band.

#29: Awkward / Tyler, The Creator
Second song up is something notably different from this Odd Future member. Instead of a heavy hip-hop track about killing civilians or mental instability or negligent fathers, this beautiful R&B-esque tune recalls Tyler's awkward first date and resulting kiss with a crush. Talk about a change of pace. One of the two songs on Wolf that focus more on melody than bars (the other being another 10/10 track I almost included instead, Answer), it really shows off how great of a composer Tyler can be. The only thing that might be off-putting to new listeners are the pitch-shifted vocals, but I think it adds a bit of a nice touch. The uncredited (also pitch-shifted) vocals from Frank Ocean at the end of the song are the cherry on top on this sundae. One of the standouts from an already fantastic album.

#28: The Promise / When In Rome
'80s cheese at its finest, this is The Promise by When In Rome. I know absolutely nothing about this band. I know absolutely nothing about the album this song is on. But what I do know is that I absolutely adore this song. People like to mock the obvious 80s sound, but it always has had a warm spot in my heart, and this song is the theme song to it all. When I think of the 80s, this is the song that comes to mind, and it's brilliant. From start to finish, this song makes me happy, and it's so fun to sing along to. Also, its inclusion in the end credits of Napoleon Dynamite makes me feel emotional every time it hits. Also, New Found Glory did a cover of it. It's not as good as the original.
---
http://i.imgur.com/NjtwoWK.jpg
#27: Don't Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder) / The Beach Boys
I already adore Pet Sounds enough as it is. It's the album that told the world that the Boys were more than just surfing and driving. The album that showed that more can be done in an album landscape than just hit singles and filler tracks. This particular song, however, stands out to me the most. Consisting of only Brian Wilson and studio musicians, Don't Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder), in my opinion, was the definitive song to let people know that the Beach Boys of old was simply no more. And it works. Every single thing about this song gives me chills, and if I were ranking these songs by personal opinion, this song would be Top 5 no doubt. The flawless double-tracked vocals, the simple and poignant lyrics, the beautiful orchestration, I can't stop listening to this song when I start - and when it's over, I just wanna listen to it again. Also check out the Vocal Snippet version found on The Pet Sounds Sessions boxset, because if you love multi-layered harmonies as much as I do, you'll adore this demo take.

http://i.imgur.com/C0aSCZo.jpg
#26: Sunday Morning / Maroon 5
It was a toss-up between this song and Sugar, my two absolute favorites from this group. However, Sunday Morning is the one I'm more familiar with. The one I remember in and out. The one I grew up with. This song is pure pop gloriousness, and those hooks are unstoppable. Every section of this song has its own memorable hook, either by the piano, Adam's vocal melodies, or the horn section. Probably the go-to song whenever people ask me what I think about, or recommend from, the band. Pure nostalgic summery joy from start to finish. Not to be confused with the No Doubt song of the same name (but they'll probably be making an appearance on this list at some point, hint hint).
---
http://i.imgur.com/nZildia.jpg
#25: She Brakes For Rainbows / The B-52's
Pure synthpop genius. I get goosebumps from start to finish every time I turn this one on. Hooks for days. Easily the best song on the album, and definitely in my Top 5 favorite songs of all-time.
---
http://i.imgur.com/z6iG02o.jpg
#24: Eggplant / Train
Oft-forgotten rock jamb from a divisive band. From their first album, Eggplant satiates my hunger for some nice 90s soft rock. Should've been released as a single, in my opinion.

"djSOUTA"

Last updated: 2016-06-13 07:01pm
So the way I narrowed it down to I basically just thought of the first songs that came to mind. I limited myself, like Quickman, to two songs per artist.

and now, without further ado...
http://pds20.egloos.com/pds/201011/04/33/b0006633_4cd2129eeb48a.jpg
30. Nina Williams | Keiichi Okabe
Tekken 3 Playstation Soundtrack 002

This is certainly my favourite stage/character track in the entire Tekken series. And it's for my favourite character, go figure. The track is just so. . . funky. DAT BASS, chill yet strong percussion, cool, well placed synths, and overall flow of the song work together to exude an air of classiness, sexiness, and mystery, which epitomizes the silent assassin so well. Even being a stage/character song, it is truly a standalone track, and can work for playlists and general listening any time outside of the video game from where it hails.

29. I am... (album version) | 有沢みはる
BeForU II

BeFore going and finding their albums, the extent of my knowledge of BeForU was basically their music featured in DDR and very few select other tracks, which, for the most part, were cute and catchy and fun (Break Down, Firefly, most Riyu Kosaka, etc,). They were cool; I enjoyed them a lot, but after delving deep & deeper, I started to find some real gems not featured on DDR (but may have been featured on other Bemani games. This one, for example, was in IIDX). This album allowed me to see a different sound come from BeForU. This song in particular followed the album version of Freedom. And let me tell you, THIS?! This raw sounding, emotionally driven, harmonic epic masterpiece? Took me completely by surprise. I INSTANTLY fell in love with this song. It takes you on a ride, with its seemingly innocent intro, light guitar playing, and tribal drums playing lightly along Arisawa's light vocals. Then it HITS YOU IN THE FACE with all power and strength, and Arisawa takes you on an emotional journey of finding out who "I am". Splendid track, and my favourite from BeForU II.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/71/Shinee_Lucifer_cover.jpghttps://zenius-i-vanisher.com/simfiles/DDRDAIKENKAI/Lucifer/Lucifer-jacket.png
28. Lucifer | SHINee
Lucifer | Hello

While I've always been a BoA stan, my first introduction to her was through her Japanese works, so my interest in K-Pop came kinda late. This is the song that catapulted my interest in SHINee, and K-Pop as a whole. When I tell you I could not stop listening to this song. . . I don't know what it was that kept this song on repeat. Was it the mesmerizing harmonies? The catchy rhythm of the chorus? The complicated-ass choreography in the video that I just had to make myself learn at least a little bit of? Their belting vocals throughout the song? The culmination of all of these elements I'm sure is what makes this song a JAM and keeps me coming back time and time again.

27. Mad Desire | Stephy Martini
Super Eurobeat 172

So in searching for the song on YouTube I found an extended version of this song, and I've been listening to this song since at least 2009!! What a pleasant surprise! I linked the song above with the version featured on SE172, which is the one I'm familiar with.
Anyway. I love this song so much. It's almost hands down my favourite track featured on Super Eurobeat so far (although this particular edition of SE has a LOT of REALLY GOOD songs. Black Devil, Love Shining, ParaPara Girl, Get a Boom, Countdown to Destination, just to name a few). I honestly don't have much else to say about it lol. I absolutely love this song.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/8b/Black_Eyed_Peas_-_Hey_Mama_-_CD_cover.jpg
26. Hey Mama | Black Eyed Peas
Elephunk

So this song takes me back to the wonderful carefree days Elementary school, where me and my best friend would GET DOWN to this song. This song is such a jam and still remains one in 2016. It's the song that got me into Black Eyed Peas, and I remember bugging my parents to death to buy me the album it comes from, Elephunk. It remains my favourite BEP album to this day. Ah, le nostalgia.

http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/adeles/images/7/75/Adele_-_He_Won%27t_Go_Lyrics.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120321211108
25. He Won't Go | Adele
21

So I don't know what it is about Adele's voice that is so captivating, but I am certainly a fan. This right here is an EAR. WORM. I absolutely love this song, and it's my favourite from 21.

http://www.paramore.net/sites/g/files/g2000001591/f/styles/album_image_sidebar_v5/public/c97412694760afccf089f991ff96fc56.jpg?itok=8lPMdnXI
24. Stuck On You | Paramore
The Summer Tic EP

I am also an enormous fan of Paramore. I've made files for Misery Business, crushcrushcrush, and Fences from RIOT!. But this song spoke to me at a time in which I was going through a bit of a time in my life where it was very relatable. And much like the song talks about words being trapped inside her head over and over again, this song burrowed in me like a summer tic, and well, I suppose it's still there lol. Ballads from Paramore are already a rarity, and this one is golden. It's also a cover. With its harmonies and instrumentation, it creates a feeling of both melancholy and content. It's kinda weird, as if brooding over the loss of a lover makes you happy, because at least you still have their memories in your head. . . I'm rambling. I love this song, and, well, yeah.


This is fun. I'm gonna fill in the comments once I get home from work.

I'll take a stab at this. Here's my 30 favourite songs of all-time. As i've gotten older i've expanded my music horizon as well as my music library, so expect a multitude of genres. I'll probably limit myself to two per artist, but I promise nothing.

Gonna go ahead and code this due to size.

#30-21
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/6d/FC_Kahuna_-_Machine_Says_Yes.jpg
#30. Hayling / FC Kahuna
(Machine Says Yes - 2002)

Starting off with some very chill electronica, Hayling keeps things simple with a steady drum beat, crashing cymbals, smooth repeating lyrics and a soft but chilling electronic vibe. The lyrics "don't think about all those things you fear, just be glad to be here" set an atmosphere that serve as a constant for the whole song. It's an experience that speakers can't do justice, a lie-down, slap-on-the-headphones kinda experience.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a2/Beach_House_-_Bloom.png
#29.Myth / Beach House
(Bloom - 2012)

Is there anything not to love about this song? Maybe the fact that it ends, but all goods things do. Legrand is on-point here with her vocals, the backbeat and guitar are spot-on as well and all the layers come together to form a beautiful melody. You want more and more as it moves forward. While the solo near the end may cut against the song's softer melody, I think it serves as a nice close to a wondrous song.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41Xb029Q6WL.jpg
#28. The Red Ambassadress / Shiro Sagisu
(Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance Original Soundtrack - 2009)

So, I don't like the Eva Rebuilds. Plain and simple, i'm just not a fan. What I am a fan of is the music, and dammit this song is fucking beautiful. Easily something you could march to for a battle, or just to get pumped up. Short and sweet, doesn't overstay its welcome but leaves you wanting just that little bit more. An all-around delight. I bet NGE never shows up again on this list. Yup.

https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a1942246561_10.jpg
#27. nhk!? / Goreshit
(My Love Feels All Wrong - 2009)

Goreshit is an interesting artist. You get some pretty intense hardcore, maybe speedcore, some insane breakbeat, and other times you get some ambient vibes tossed in the mix. He's got some pretty great songs, and a lot of shitty ones too. The first time ever hearing one of his tracks was back in 2010, and I was mixed at first until I heard this song and I was sold. A breakcore mix of the second NHK end theme, the breakbeats are delicious, never overbearing but always pounding. The piano adds a nice unique flavor to what would just be a run-of-the-mill breakbeat song and makes it spectacular in its simplicity. Everything is just right and there's a great sense of emotion throughout that matches the feel of the NHK series.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c0/Little_Brother_-_The_Minstrel_Show.jpg
#26. Lovin' It / Little Brother
(The Minstrel Show - 2003)

9th Wonder on the beat, Joe Scudda and Big Pooh on the mic, the trio crushes it on this track. Great rap flow along with a solid backbeat courtesy of production god 9th Wonder, this is Little Brother at their best.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/ae/Daft_Punk_-_Discovery.jpg
#25. Crescendolls / Daft Punk
(Discovery - 2001)

The Discovery album on its own is a fantastic collection of music, but Crescendolls is my personal favorite overall. It's upbeat and fun, the vocal sample loops almost to a degree where it's annoying but remains catchy, and the beat is bouncy and perfect for the club. It's not the best on the album, but it's a fun one for sure.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/15/Elements,_Pt._1_cover.jpg
#24. Stratofortress / Stratovarius
(Elements Pt.1 - 2003)

Power Metal is great, and not many can do it better than Stratovarius. I remember discovering them through a classmate in freshman year highschool and everything I heard was like the greatest thing ever. For a brief moment in time prog took a back seat to power metal thanks to Stratovarius. Stratofortress was the standout for me, the blazing guitar and drums make for such an incredible instrumental. Would highly recommend the entirety of their discography.

http://cps-static.rovicorp.com/3/JPG_400/MI0002/121/MI0002121009.jpg?partner=allrovi.com
#23. Lord of the Rings (feat. Captain Mudfish Starbolt) / Minamina Goodsong
(Time For Breakfast - 2005)

First time hearing this was on TV, of all places an Adult Swim bump. I had no idea what the song name was, but I knew that I had to find it because the beat was so infectious. Two years later, went to the music store one day with my dad, I found this CD for cheap and at the time I didn't think much of it. Once it got up to this song and the beat kicked in, I went nuts and started dancing. It brings back pretty sweet memories every time I hear it, and it's an excellent song overall.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a8/Razorsedge.jpg
#22. Thunderstruck - AC/DC
(The Razor's Edge - 1990)

My dad bled AC/DC growing up, so he would play it all the time when I was growing up. They were the group that got me into rock in the first place, and Thunderstruck was THE song that I would listen to everyday when I was little. It's a timeless classic that only gets better with age.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/1a/Exmilitary_artwork.png
#21. Lord of the Game (ft. Mexican Girl) - Death Grips
(Exmilitary - 2011)

LORD OF THE GAME
Death Grips always known for their aggressive style, comes through here clear as day and it's one of their best tracks. The flow for Ride is outstanding, and instrumentally it's a pretty fun beat to jam along with. Easily one of their catchiest tunes, and maybe i'm being blasphemous, but it might just be better than Takyon (GASP!).


#20-11
https://i1.sndcdn.com/artworks-000077782435-0zd440-t500x500.jpg
#20. Modest Mouth - Neil Cicierega

It's the greatest mashup ever made, c'mon mate. Next.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/13/PinkFloydWallCoverOriginalNoText.jpg
#19. Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd
(The Wall - 1979)

Pink Floyd wasn't my cup of tea early on, it really took me a while to get what was so great about them. Once I started to look at the lyrics closer and kinda appreciate the songs more, then I went back and listened to those songs I didn't "get" at first. The Wall was a huge album for me, loved it from start to finish. Comfortably Numb was one of those tracks where lyrically it stood out and it was fantastically layered and tied well with the story of the album, but the production was also stellar, the guitar is outstanding and that solo is a thing of beauty.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/03/MF-DOOM-Operation.jpeg
#18. DOOMsday - MF DOOM
(Operation: Doomsday - 1999)

Not many can spit better bars or produce a better beat than DOOM. It's a calm, steady approach, filled with fun wordplay and fresh vibe. He absolutely kills it on this one, the beat is rock solid whilst DOOM is rapping at his usual pace, but he changes it up here and there to keep it interesting. You know from the very beginning this is going to be an experience, and from start to finish it begs you to come back.

http://st.cdjapan.co.jp/pictures/l/00/43/KICA-2059.jpg
#17. 可憐に 優雅に そして高潔に (To Beauty, to Elegance and to Noble-Mindedness) - 大谷幸
(Gundam Wing: Operation 1 - 1995)

A lot of MSG missed the cut, but not this. I love waltz, really anything with an orchestra, and this is one of my absolute favorites. Wing was an ok series, but the music was always good, and this really fit well as the theme for Relena's character, with the changes in mood and pace throughout the song and the story of the series. You get the feeling just by listening to it that it would work perfectly at a wedding or a formal dance, it's a beautiful piece.

http://cdn.pitchfork.com/albums/13613/homepage_large.9e0f6207.jpg
#16. I've Seen All Good People - Yes
(The Yes Album - 1971)

If you know your Yes, you know this song. I refuse the notion that you listen to Yes but aren't aware of this song. Played on classic rock stations all over and hailed as a classic, it's also a personal favorite of mine that I adore for the buildup from the first movement into the fast-paced second movement.

http://cdn2.pitchfork.com/albums/19849/homepage_large.1885fae5.jpg
#15. Lightness - Death Cab For Cutie
(Transatlanticism - 2003)

Death Cab was the indie band for me when I was in middle school. I didn't know they were indie at the time, I just knew they were good. Hearing Transatlanticism for the first time was a whole different experience from other albums at the time. Lightness may not be a standout to most fans or critics, but it's one that I personally love to hear everytime it pops on and it never gets tiring.

#14. Metropolis Pt. 1: The Miracle and The Sleeper - Dream Theater
(Images and Words - 1992)

Images and Words was a big album for Dream Theater. Pull Me Under essentially became their signature song among most fans, but if you ask a lot of people (including me), Metropolis was the top track on that album. From start to end it's a progressive adventure that delights me everytime, the chord progressions on guitar are a treat and the drums are so much fun to try and follow along with your fingers (if you think you can).

"Yuuki Mishima for Tekken"

if people want, they can play catch up whenever they feel like jumping in (but it will be a bitch to catch up when we get more than halfway through)

"that's crazy"

Last updated: 2016-06-07 08:06pm
I guess I've been bashing music for a long time now, but believe it or not, I have tons of favorites myself. Since I'm part-timing it on this site, I'm just gonna go ahead and put a few of my favorite songs right now, and update it randomly. I don't know if there's any rules, and if there are and I broke rules, I apologize. DARUDE SANDSTORM ok just kidding, let's get started:


#30
http://www.deadtide.com/___media/reviews/albums/_page/album_covers/large/exhumed_anatomyisd.jpg
Exhumed - Blazing Corpse

I'm a die-hard heavy metal guy, and this song is big proof. This song is, in fact, the origin of me bumpin' heavy metal. I remember a long time ago downloading these simfiles from....some creator named Viper Snake. Blazing Corpse was one of the songs, and I just loved the excellent guitars and drums. I don't understand the lyrics, and this would fit perfectly for a mosh pit.

#29

Odd Future - Oldie

This one's a worthy 10 minute rap. I already think these guys are funny on Loiter Squad, but when I started hearing their work in music, they were "spittin' out some good bars" and in this 10 minute rap, ALL members of Odd Future, including Jasper, were spittin' out excellent bars in each of their verses. I know most people aren't even free for 10+ minutes, but if you are, do listen to this.

#28

Kraftwerk - Computer Love

I love the melody and the feeling this song gives me. I was one of those guys who heard Kraftwerk's song before Coldplay's. Kraftwerk has so much excellent music, and I recommend all of the kids and teens to listen to them. Their music isn't bad at all. There is a modern group that did, however, sample the melody of this song, and it worked too! This song is #27 and it's....

#27

Coldplay - Talk

As for Coldplay, I kinda barely liked their music, but this one was a guilt pleasure. This is one of the few songs that sampled from classics and it actually worked out in my opinion. I don't know I'm a weird guy, but I imagine snuggling a girl seeing a sunset while hearing this or Computer Love. Hell, this mashup is golden too!

#26

Kraftwerk - Musique Non Stop

Boing. Boom. Tschak. This is another legendary Kraftwerk song. It makes me want to break dance, and no lol I actually can't break dance. This is one of those classic dance songs that NEVER gets old, you could never get sick of it. Trust me, I've had this song on my MP3 player for about 5 years now? Yeah. Also, if you listen long enough, you'll notice that a certain wrestling theme sampled some beats and melodies from this song.

Lady Baby - Nippon Manju

Holy shit, if you never heard of this group, you will remember who exactly they are after hearing the first 30 seconds of this song. Usually, when you see things like this in a music, it's a joke. This is an exception. This song is awesome. This is one of the songs that's became a favorite of mine within a week.

#24

Dethklok - Murmaider

I'm not gonna lie; I heard Batmetal first, I'll admit. However, since watching Metalocalypse, I've always loved the songs I heard throughout the series, but Murmaider takes the crown as my favorite Dethklok song. This song also relates to one of my personalities' mentality. "If you seek vengeance, all you need are instruments of pain. You need your Knives? Check. Rope? Check. Dagger? Check. Chains? Check. Rocks? Check. Laser Beam? Check. Acid? Check. Body bag? Check."

Miley Cyrus - See You Again

Judge me. I know I never really met a Miley Cyrus fan. Hell, I'm not a fan of hers either. However, this song is probably the ONLY good Miley Cyrus song I'll ever hear. It's almost unbelievable how great this song is. It's one of those "I hate you, but this work is awesome" type of deals.

#22
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/d/d5/Deep_Purple_-_DP_reissue.jpg/220px-Deep_Purple_-_DP_reissue.jpg
Deep Purple - April

This one's a classical masterpiece. I remember hearing this song on a Music Similarities video, NOT made by me. I never knew the Intro of the first NES Ninja Gaiden opening had the same melody of this song (@0:25 if you don't feel like hearing the whole song and waiting), so I listened to this song on my own. All 12 minutes of this song is epic. I highly recommend you to bump this one.

#21
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/69/Eminem_-_The_Real_Slim_Shady_CD_cover.jpg
Eminem - Slim Shady

This was the first ever Eminem song I ever heard, in my life. This is also the first rap I seen a white guy "spittin' bars." I couldn't believe a guy, who looked like that, could actually make a rap as excellent as this one. I'm sure everyone has heard of this song, but if you're that one oddball who hasn't heard of it, I suggest you bump this song ASAP.

#20

The Immortals - Techno Syndrome

This is another song I'm sure everyone has heard. This has probably been over-played to many people. I, however, still happen to love this song from the bottom of my heart. Holy shit, I remember finishing the Mortal Kombat movie and hearing this song. I was nodding my head in rhythm when I heard this for the first time! It's just... holy crap, it's just unexplainable how great this masterpiece is. Also, this song fits with so much situations in life LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

To be continued...

How you doin' Lord Toon? Thanks for the banner.

"suffering from success"
Dunno what's worse: the img tagging of gore or including two separate songs in one entry instead of just... making them separate entries...

I'll fix when I return home.

Also that's kinda the appropriate album for that song, but...I'll find something different.

I personally don't mind, but not img tagging something so edgy gory would be a good thing to do. For the kids.

I fixed and edited it.

Quickman, mind if I just put down 10 of 30, since I'm a part timer on here? Then I wait until everyone's up to #20 to put 10 more?
