10/10 - Love this song, love Shinedown, love how the soft keyboard part explodes into the rocking part at the beginning, also love the huge chorus and there's a really good message across this tune. Shinedown really knows how to write beautiful and meaningful songs.

8/10...I'm generally not a huge fan of Cornell but that song is pretty good.

7/10 Pretty intro, and though it fits well with the lyrics and theme, I kept hoping it would grow into something more. I feel like it could have gotten more emotional in the music and vocals. Still, very nice overall. I'll listen to more of them.

Like this one does. This song gives me chills.

I'm definitely not a fan of this era of rock... But I gotta say: this song is pretty awesome. VERY emotional. 8/10
(+1 for the hair)

How about a bit of blues-rock?

7/10...it starts off pretty good but it's a bit repetitive towards the end, feel like the song could've been shortened.

8/10 - This song is really good, love how the intro is all soft and laid back, and then explodes into this crazy shit that post-hardcore bands would write. But the drums should've been softer in the opening verse, guitars are pretty cool, the vox are solid, there was the time where he could've sung a bit more aggressive.

8/10 I normally don't really like ETF, but that was pretty awesome. I like how it started slow, then got really aggressive about halfway through. Very good. I was a bit surprised.

Pity these guys broke up. Chris Clancy is a tremendous vocalist.

8.5/10 - Didn't like the screamo shit at the beginning (I mean I'm into BFMV, Trivium, ETF, SOTY, etc... but for whatever the reason I didn't like it this time) but I think he has a killer voice. The music's pretty good, guitar solo is fantastic.

So here it is.. My favorite Foo Fighters song!

Maybe, but I don't like his scream, same thing goes for that girl from Arch Enemy.

9/10. Love that song. Took me a while to get into it once it was first released on the greatest hits album though.

One of my favourite AIC tunes.

8/10. First time hearing that song and I really loved it. Always enjoy Layne's vocals.

7/10 - Really good stuff here, but it's a bit boring. Guitar solo is a killer, btw.

6.5/10 - It's got a lovely atmosphere and the main refrain is really interesting but unfortunately the song just really doesn't go anywhere and I found myself just waiting for a change. The singer is very good and the middle section is quite impressive vocally but I just felt like it was a little wasted in the context of the song.


One of Pink Floyd's lesser known and criminally underrated songs. A little challenge for someone, listen on headphones and listen to the lyrics:

How about the shredding skills of Mr. Vai in this one? Master of Legato at 3:17
