Another favorite band for me was Styx with "Renegade" and "Blue Collar Man" being at the top of the list for me.
Let's throw in AC/DC and "Jailbreak".

Man bid, we could’ve hung out by a bonfire pounding beers anytime!
Though with AC/DC I’d go For Those About To Rock.
Pink Floyd is my favorite followed closely by Tool and Slayer. I've seen em all at least once and some a bunch.
But here's something from Type O' Negative. So many great songs to choose from and I saw them a ton of times at relatively small clubs in NE before Peter Steele died. We became very good friends and lotsa fun on the tour bus after some shows.
Sounds like a family suicide but it was about Peters damn cat. They were so tongue firmly planted in cheek that it was hysterical watching the goths that attended the shows get all lovey with their Black No. 1 died hair partners over songs like Christian Woman.
Just too perfect.
Bloody Kisses (A Death in the Family)
Type O Negative
Not long ago but far away
A rainy winter's day
All her pain she kept inside
Could no longer hide
No cry for help
She killed herself
Both life & love could not be saved
She took them both to the grave
A pair of souls become undone
Where were two now one
divided by this wall of death
I soon will join you yet
With my blood I'll find your love
You found the strength to end you life
As you did so shall I
Oh no
Please don't go
It's like a death in the family
A crimson pool so warm and deep
Lulls me to an endless sleep
Your hand in mine - I will be brave
Take me from this earth
An endless night - this, the end of life
From the dark I feel your lips
And I taste your bloody kiss
Oh no
Please don't go
It's like a death in the family
Don't die on me
Don't die on me
Don't die on me
don't' die
I seen them in Tempe, Arizona. October Rust tour. They were one of my faves.
Huge Styx fan growing up. Gonna stray from the mainstream options and take one off the Cyclorama album. Great song. Rumor has it that it's about DeYoung who's ego seemed to get in his way and forced the band to ostracize him at the end.
Killing the Thing That You Love
Brick by brick you built a mansion
Piece by piece it seems
You're tearing it down
Once you walked so tall and handsome
Now nobody even wants you around
Now you're just some kind of
Leftover clown
Now you're like Quasi Modo crying
As you look in the mirror
At what you've become
Killing the thing that you love
Like Lennon's assassin
Lennon's assassin
Reaching for Venus De Milo
But she's never gonna hold you tight
You plant plutonium silos
Then you blister from the sun that's too bright
Like a vampire stepping into the light
Just a victim of your own greed as you
Look in the mirror
At what you've become
Killing the world that you love
Like Lennon's assassin
Lennon's assassin
The genius of a generation
Blown away just like a leaf on the wind
And now you're looking for salvation
But you can't forget the places you've been
And you can't erase a lifetime of sin
And you can't escape the answers as you
Look in the mirror
At what you've become
Dredging the river for what you have done
Killing the thing that you love
Like Lennon's assassin
Lennon's assassin

Became a Pink Floyd fan once I found the wonders of cannabis. I use the bolded quote in class every year with my seniors. Morbid but very real world.
Time
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away, across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spell
Alice In Chains
Down In A Hole or Man In The Box
2 diametrically opposite song styles but I just can’t choose.
loved them until I saw them live, what a F'd up concert, in coherent babble.Counting Crows - Mrs. Potters Lullabye
Amazing tune and lyrics.

great song still
This album is another facet of theirs- an ass kicker (Dave Grohl did the drums)-hadn't had much exposure to these guys until I saw them open for Tool. Great live show.
