Billy Joel - The Downeaster "Alexa"
Billy Joel has written some of the most moving music over his career, this is one of his best.
Lyrics:
Well I'm on the Downeaster "Alexa"
And I'm cruising through Block Island Sound
I have charted a course to the Vineyard
But tonight I am Nantucket bound
We took on diesel back in Montauk yesterday
And left this morning from the bell in Gardiner's Bay
Like all the locals here I've had to sell my home
Too proud to leave I worked my fingers to the bone
So I could own my Downeaster "Alexa"
And I go where the ocean is deep
There are giants out there in the canyons
And a good captain can't fall asleep
I've got bills to pay and children who need clothes
I know there's fish out there but where God only knows
They say these waters aren't what they used to be
But I've got people back on land who count on me
So if you see my Downeaster "Alexa"
And if you work with the rod and the reel
Tell my wife I am trawling Atlantis
And I still have my hands on the wheel
Now I drive my Downeaster "Alexa"
More and more miles from shore every year
Since they tell me I can't sell no stripers
And there's no luck in swordfishing here.
I was a bayman like my father was before
Can't make a living as a bayman anymore
There ain't much future for a man who works the sea
But there ain't no island left for islanders like me

Instead of lyrics I'd like to focus on the music (read: solo).
Dio - Death By Love
The solo (starting from 2.05) gets to a point (around 2.30-2.40) where it really gives me goosebumps!
I love that build-up. Craig Goldy rules!
Anyone who says that solos don't contribute much I say: You're either deaf or

Dio - We Rock
A few weeks back, while watching Stargate: Atlantis, a song was played. I commented that it was kinda good; my son said it was The Beautiful People by Manson. So, since then it had kinda stuck in my head, until I finally downloaded it. Not a bad tune, kinda fun to listen to...so, that has been what I've been listening to, that entire album.
Yeah... I don't know a lot of Marilyn Manson fans. I hafta say, I kinda like it, though. It fits a certain mood, his voice is kind of dark and works for me.

Right now, I'm in the mood for some Cheap Trick.

Manowar - Hail and Kill
I'll let the lyrics speak for themselves.
Brothers I am calling from the valley of the kings
With nothing to atone
A dark march lies ahead together we will ride
Like thunder from the sky
May your sword stay wet like a young girl in her prime
Hold your hammers high
Blood and death are waiting like a raven in the sky
I was born to die
Hear me while I live as I look into your eyes
None shall hear a lie
Power and dominion are taken by the will
By divine right hail and kill
Hail, hail, hail and kill
Hail and Kill
Hail, hail, hail and kill
My father was a wolf, I'm a kinsman of the slain
Sworn to rise again
I will bring salvation, punishment and pain
The hammer of hate is our faith
Power and dominion are taken by the will
By divine right hail and kill
Hail, hail, hail and kill
Hail and Kill
Hail, hail, hail and kill
Rip their flesh
Burn their hearts
Stab them in their eyes
Rape their women as they cry
Kill their servants
Burn their homes
Till there's no blood left to spill
Hail and Kill
Power and dominion are taken by the will
By divine right hail and kill
Hail, hail, hail and kill
Hail and Kill
Hail, hail, hail and kill
Hail, hail, hail and kill
Hail and Kill
Hail, hail, hail and kill

And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication
And silent replies that swirl invitation
Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea
A grim intimation of what is to be
There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night
And there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight
And silence that speaks so much louder that words,
Of promises broken...
Perhaps technically not a single song, but: The Beatles' Abbey Road Medley.
I'm not a fan of Sun King, but the rest kicks ass. I've been learning "You Never Give Me Your Money" on piano lately.

Megadeth - Holy Wars ... The Punishment Due.
What a riff-o-rama.The riff starting at 45 seconds is beyond the realms of cool. Also the way they bring that riff back in the last part of the song is great, and the classical guitar bridge and the riff at 2:40 are also great.
Some people risk to employ me, others live to destroy me - either way they DIE!
