"David Bowie" by Phish. It was the encore for the show i went to. I wont lie, it brought a tear to my eye when Trey hit the final chord....the last chord that i will ever hear Phish play.

I had the same reaction, but I hadn't heard it until I had pretty much wore down my DSOTM. That guitar piece in the beginning is just like a delicate dream.

Black Sabbath - War Pigs
I borrowed a best of black sabbath tape a short time after I got into the sex pistols. I though the band seemed very dark, mysterious and evil. I though it was great.

This song never gets old with me and if I considered any song to epitomize evil it would be Pigs. It just conjures alot of imagery in head when I am listening to it, like I am stepping into hell for a few minutes and this is the theme song.

Good pics.

I am still waiting to hear a metal song with a better guitar intro than Bell Tolls. They are just ON in the beginning weaving a tapestry of sound. The chorus riff just kills as well.

By sheer accident did I pick up "It Takes A Nation of Millions..." at the record store and bought it. I hadn't heard much of PE, and I didn't know any of their songs. It was the biggest stroke of luck. I had never heard rap like that. It was angry and honest, with hip grooves, funky horse sounds, with Flavor Flav and Chuck D just throwing down like Bonnie and Clyde. I never knew rap could be this good.

the roots, without a doubt. may not be a paticularly great song but it made me realise a whole new genre. the revolution will not be televised (gil scott-heron). misty mountain hop by Led Zep totally changed my opinion of that band and old(er) rock in general. i bleed (the pixies), i was listening to that song a while ago n paused and thought - this song is genius. lastly, jah live by bob marley. i have not heard a song that has made me feel quite so emotional
