Do not let the title deceive you. It is in fact #2 of the Let Me Blow Your Mind series (link to #1). The previous one focused on female vocals, this one will focus on manliness.
The very first question I had to ask myself when composing this entry was: How the hell do you tell if a song is manly or not? After a while of thinking it finally dawned on me. I have imagined a scene straight from a musical, where a guy is walking down the street, singing the song and acting accordingly. The manliness level of the song would be decided by the amount of possible intimidation and awe unleashed upon bystanders and balls required to perform it in public. I have discarded stuff like Aphex Twin - Come to Daddy as you can't really sing that, can you?
Lo and behold! Songs that are Rated M for Manly
Warning: Some of it might be possibly NSFW.
Manliness is directly associated with the size of your balls so naturally, the very first song that comes to mind is this:
Manly men also hold others in low regard, are direct and don't take crap from anyone.
Sexuality is a natural thing for manly alpha males. They're not ashamed of stating their desires in the open.
Manly men are aware of their weaknesses (they have none, they just pretend they have them just for the others to not feel so bad, damn they're such nice guys) and can turn them into humour.
And finally, to be manly you have to be free!
And gain, let's vote!

Nonsense. I understand that in Poland rap is a music of posers and gopnik's(does it translate into polish slang?) But in USA it is an equivalent of what rock was at the end of soviet union- a music of liberation.
And NEM by Metallica is kinda touchy-feely, especially compared to some other
I know. It feels like the it could be a ballad soldiers play on their guitars at night around the fire. To put it in words more befitting this blog : real men aren't afraid to have feelings, they deal with em.
Speaking of those sort of songs are you familiar with ЛЮБЭ?

Sorry, didn't hear about Lubeh before. I don't hear much about the music that gets released east of the border, the only thing I remember from this parts (apart from Tatu of course) is коррозии металла which was some Belarussian or Russian metal band in the early 90's because some dude who's fascinated with post-USSR countries (he's a historian) showed it to me and the name for a heavy metal band was so cool that I remembered it.
