Rock & Roll Survey - Poly's Official Song

[Drake Tungsten]

You have a cold, black heart, sir...

[-Jrabbit]

No, I just spent too many hours at my daughter's figure skating competitions over the past dozen years. That song is used ALL THE FREAKING TIME for routines by little 6-year old girls. Very cute, but eventually, all you can do is run screaming from the building.

Any song can become onerous if you've heard it too many times beyond your control.

[Drake Tungsten]

True...

top songs is just too difficult a list for me to compile. I can try, but I know I'll be leaving out a ****load of songs. If I was really bored (and I'm not), I would compile the top 1 or 2 songs from each band I like, and narrow it down from there.

One- Metallica
Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner- Iron Maiden
****ing Hostile- Pantera
Black Sabbath- Black Sabbath
Holiday- Scorpions
For those About to Rock...We Salute You- AC/DC
Spiritwalker- The Cult
Don't Talk to Strangers- Dio
Third Eye- Tool
Hey You- Pink Floyd
The End- The Doors
Beyond the Black- Metal Church
Achilles last Stand- Led Zeppelin
South of Heaven- Slayer
Knights in White Satin- Moody Blues
Funeral in Carpathia- Cradle of Filth
Hatred- Manowar
Godless- Danzig
Child in Time- Deep Purple
Halloween- Helloween

honorable mention- Raining Blood- Tori Amos- I love this remake

That's the best I can do. In some cases, I'd rather hear 20 songs of my favourite band over these 20 songs. Depends on my mood.

You can notice a trend of songs over 10 minutes long. . I like em' long. They just feel more epic to me. I like system of a down, but their 3 minute songs just don't make the list for me.

[LordShiva]

Megadeth - A Secret Place

[Berzerker]
