Bach - Mass in B minor Mozart - Requiem Beethoven - Symphony no.9 Chopin - Piano Sonata no. 3 Rachmaninoff - Piano concerto no .3 Debussy - La Mer Wagner - Tristan und isolde Bruckner - Symphony no. 8 Schoenberg - String Quartet no. 2 LOL edit: if they put a knife on my throat and forced me to select the 10 from the entirely inferior non-classical repertoire, it would be something like this: Radiohead - Kid A Pink Floyd - Shine on you crazy diamond Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody The Beatles - A day in the life Massive attack - group four King Crimson - court of crimson king Public enemy - Don't believe the hype (lol) Nick Drake - Pink Moon lol this is getting hard... for the last two maybe Pink Floyd - Interstellar overdrive Beach boys - God only knows | ||

I took a stab at it anyway, using several picks as symbols of larger ideas than just the one song. Nevertheless, I still had trouble holding it to 10, so first some honorable mentions. These are mainly my favorite songs by very good bands that didn't have anything extra to get them into the top 10 list. Honorable Mentions: * Evanescence - Imaginary, Fallen * Dragonforce - Revolution Deathsquad, Inhuman Rampage If Through the Fire and the Flames from Guitar Hero is all you know by Dragonforce, you should really check out the rest of the album if you enjoy it - a lot of the tracks are really more interesting and epic, just not quite as over the top on the guitar work in most cases. * Flogging Molly - What's Left of the Flag, Drunken Lullabies * Guns N' Roses - Sweet Child O' Mine, Appetite for Destruction * Rise Against - Life Less Frightening, Siren Song of hte Counter Culture #10: Metallica - Welcome Home (Sanitarium), Master of Puppets This is somewhat of a body of work pick for Metallica, and several of their songs could have gone here - Unforgiven was probably next in consideration. I picked Welcome Home for having possibly the best message about the treatment of mentally disabled people amongst my favorite songs of theirs. #9: Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven, Led Zeppelin IV A very cliche pick, but there's good reason for that. The song is probably a little overhyped, but has a wonderful buildup of rhythm and emotion that rank it among the best classic rock songs of all time. #8: The Eagels - Seven Bridges Road, Live As far as I know, the Eagles never recorded this in the studio, but it's slipped on some live and Greatest Hits albums. It's very simple - really just some acoustic guitar and the band harmonizing, but there's osmething very beautiful about the simplicity of an acoustic guitar backed by a nice harmony. Good Riddance (Time of your Life) by Green Day was another possibility for this spot, but I think Seven Bridges ROad makes the point a little better. #7: Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Ohio, Single Written and released very quickly as a single in response to the Kent State massacre, this ranks as easily one of the best political protest songs of all time, with the very simple yet pointed lyrics and warlike drumbeat. It also happens to be very good music by a pretty awesome band. #6: Disturbed - I'm Alive, Ten Thousand Fists Disturbed is awesome and I definitely had to include something by them. The reason for this song, and it ranking this high probably has a lot to do with the fact that I've been listening to Disturbed and this song in particular a lot over the past week or so. I'm still trying to really figure out the full meaning of this song, but it definitely has an emotional chorus. #5: Freedom Call - Warriors, Eternity Possibly not one of Freedom Call's very best songs, but I choose this one to represent an awesome band because it's one of the songs that originally helped get me into Power/Symphonic Metal. #4: Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here, Wish You Were Here A very touching song about their departed former band member; quite powerful emotionally. Interestingly, the lyrics can also be reinterpreted pretty easily into a Vietnam protest song; I used to think it was one before I discovered the intended meaning. This song just speaks to me on several levels. #3: Kamelot - The Haunting (Somewhere in Time), The Black Halo Amazing song by an amazing group on an amazing album. Really showcases Roy Khan's tremendous vocal talent, as well as guest singer Simone Simons's. If you're into Power/Symphonic metal at all and you haven't listened to Kamelot, you should. #2: Tool - Wings for Marie, 10000 days I would argue Tool as probably the greatest Alternative band ever. Great vocals, mindfuck lyrics that are very open to interpretation, different and creative guitar riffs, and the occasional epic, emotional song like this one about Maynard's mother. I've heard this song referred to as the Stairway to Heaven of this generation, and I'd tend to agree with that. The songs have in some ways similar structures, with a slowly rising crescendo, and each has powerful emotional meaning especially to the band. #1: Rhapsody of Fire - Dawn of Victory, Dawn of Victory Pretty much all of Rhapsody of Fire's stuff is epic, and while this may not be their really oen of their best songs, it's up there, and will forever hold a special place to me as the song that first introduced me to Power/Symphonic Metal. Chances are I've forgotten something or could probably reorder the list a bit better, but after looking at it for a couple minutes I'm mostly happy with it. Hopefully a couple of my picks here that I haven't seen on lots of other lists are interesting to a couple people. | ||

Tool - Eulogy Porcupine Tree - The Start of Something Beautiful Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize Porcupine Tree - Trains Incubus - Pardon Me Incubus - Summer Romance (Anti-Gravity Love Song) Dream Theater - A Change of Seasons Metallica - Master of Puppets Coheed and Cambria - In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 In no particular order, though I probably would stick Lateralus at number one. I heavily encourage anyone into prog to check out Porcupine Tree, they're amazing. | ||

Black Winter Night is really good too. Their first two albums were so much better. After that they went for a higher speed and it sorta limited the beat. Once in a Lifetime, Black Winter Night, Dawn over a New World, Valley of the Damned, Starfire. Fields of Despair holds the speed they play at these days, but it's awesome as well.  | ||
