20 for 20 - mad_son

Mad_Son

Doing this chronologically. I'll have some honorable mention songs that I double up on a post because I can choose, but I don't want to.

First song is Eminem - Without Me (2002).

Mad_Son

Look, an honorable mention already!

The Johhny Cash - Hurt (2002)
https://youtu.be/8AHCfZTRGiI

But Johnny Cash - In My Life is also an amazing song as an HM.

This song opened up the world of metal to me. Odd timing that I really became familiar with Nightwish before Metallica but so it goes.

Nightwish - End of All Hope (2002)

This is my all-time favorite song. The first time I head this live was basically a religious experience.

Blind Guardian - The Bard's Song (In the Forest) (New Studio version) (2003)

Mad_Son

Big fan of the Offspring and I listened to this song on repeat for a disturbingly long time.
The Offspring - Hit That (2003)

Mad_Son

Get My Gun is almost worth an honorable mention here, but this song is way catchier.

D12 - My Band (2004)

Mad_Son

Sabaton is super solid but this is probably their only song that can crack my top 20.

Sabaton - Primo Victoria (2005)

Mad_Son

Chop Suey is maybe a better pick here, but @Swaye already shared that one and so I figured I'd give Radio Video some love since I probably listened to it equally as much.

System of a Down - Radio Video (2005)

Mad_Son

Second of three Finnish metal bands that made my list. I think I have a problem.

Tarot - Howl (2006)
https://youtu.be/4sy1Ccvy7RM

Mad_Son

Third Finnish metal band. Sort of hate to do a cover but I just love this. I'll give Greek Fire an HM for your own good.

Turisas - Rasputin (2007)

Turisas - Greek Fire

Mad_Son

Andy Samberg is awesome which is why I have listened to both of these songs way too much.

The Lonely Island - I'm on a Boat (2009)
https://youtu.be/avaSdC0QOUM

Honorable Mention Captain Jack Sparrow
https://youtu.be/GI6CfKcMhjY

Mad_Son

What a fucking weird song. But I like it.

Powerwolf - Werewolves of Armenia (2009)
https://youtu.be/hC8uoGW2ptc

Mad_Son

I had to cap myself at only two Blind Guardian Songs.

Blind Guardian - Sacred Worlds (2010)
https://youtu.be/e6Y2qGK--NI

Mad_Son

How timely.

Epic Rap Battles of History - Santa vs Moses (2012)
https://youtu.be/0kRAKXFrYQ4

Mad_Son

I'm just a sucker for hip thrusting and weird noises.

DJ Snake, Lil Jon - Turn Down for What (2013)
https://youtu.be/HMUDVMiITOU

Mad_Son

Just a great song.

Hozier - Take Me to Church (2013)
https://youtu.be/PVjiKRfKpPI

Mad_Son

I guess also just a song I like a lot. A recurring theme here.

Peter Hollens - Song of the Lonely Mountain (2014)
https://youtu.be/RI3fkqA9-IA

Mad_Son

I think this has been on three lists now. This was one of the best things to happen in the best 10 years to be fair.

Disturbed - The Sound of Silence (2015)
https://youtu.be/u9Dg-g7t2l4

Mad_Son

As someone with a kid now it is even more obvious how my parents made it easy to be a kid.

Twenty One Pilots - Stressed Out (2015)

Mad_Son

You don't have to speak German to enjoy just listening to this.

Eisbrecher - Was Ist Hier Los (Die Krupps Remix) (2018)
