From the guys that brought you "F' and "What's Up People" comes this song of long over-contained angst. It goes to show that it doesn't matter how old you get, everybody will always hate middle school.

Just to bring up Flower Boy again, this is him during the transitional period between him then and him now. His lyrics are slightly less abrasive, he's getting even more introspective and he's showing signs of discontent with his current persona. Why am I even telling you this? Anyone who listens to him casually knows all this already. I'm not here to analyze; this is a good song.

Hi again, Tyler.
This whole song feels like a snapshot in history: this was Tyler at his Tylerest. He was crass, offensive, juvenile, annoying...and fun. He used his bars to drop everything his warped brain could throw at us, bringing up inconsequential beefs, cartoon references, swag rap and his well-aware shots at how he was coming off to everyone. It's weird hearing this considering what he's up to now and seeing the base for what he would later become (Also, they should have played this at Bruce Willis' roast. His daughter's in the song after all.).
In the video, you get an extra treat with a minute or so of "Answer", also from Wolf, in which Tyler out-Eminems Eminem by speaking about both his justified resentment and his open insecurities regarding his father, showing Tyler had genuine pathos from the beginning. He just didn't want to rely on it.

Welcome to the 1408 of songs. No matter how many times you forget this tune, you will never forget this tune.
Just a sweet ditty in two different languages about accepting yourself. No wonder this is the last song anyone from Tumblr will ever hear before they die. It's good on its own merits though, managing to be fun and clean...unless it's mixed with Death Grips.
Then it's just fun.
Everybody's that's ever played this game just rolled their eyes and took out a cigarette so that can smoke out the window while remembering their tour of duty playing this.
Some background: Tom Morello is a fairly gifted guitarist for a fairly famous band called Rage Against The Machine. He lent his musical talents for the third installment in a rhythm based music game franchise called Guitar Hero, composing his own chords. The game was fair until you got to his battle where suddenly, you needed to know all the mechanics of the controller to get past him. I lost to him again and again while my older brother told me to give up. My dad cheered me on, refused to let me quit...until my brother took the guitar to beat him himself.
I know for a fact that I was far from alone in being victimized by this man. Let's make a pact to hunt down and beat this overgrown Cub Scout for making us feel bad when we're pretending to know how to play guitar.

Unironic Foo Fighters fan here. I know they have their ups and downs but Christ, they are on point when they're at their best. This is just hard rock "Born To Run" and you literally can't keep me from darting around when I hear it (Note: don't put on hard rock around ADHD sufferers.). RIP Taylor. Warning for tits in the video.

Violence, Sexual themes
“what do you listen to?” music. “what kind of music?” the kind that gets my dick hard what the fuck are these questions
Some days, you need a little jazz to fight evil by moonlight.
This isn't the first time I've put Platina Jazz on this blog (Latin Jazz The Real Folk Blues, anyone?) but I really can't talk enough about how talented this group is. The above video is the original opening to Sailor Moon, sung in English reimagined as a tango. The vocalist puts his whole pussy into the performance, belting the lyrics like he was a finalist on the X Factor who had to win lest his family be descended into the acid pit (not sure how the finals work; haven't seen the recent seasons). Give it a watch if you're a fan of Sailor Moon, tangos or just way too well done covers.

No, I didn't upload the same video twice, smartasses. Resurrection has three different versions: the one used in the game, the alternate version and the Ropeland Mix. This is the second one, being the Ropeland Mix's evil twin. While the Ropeland Mix sounded more polished compared to the one we got in the game, this one sounds dirty, like a grunge lead guitarist who is really too good to be in the band. I swear, the player begins to run out of the gas near the end only to power through to finish the song and make sure you know how delicate and feeble your tiny, pathetic fingers really are. Wowie Zowie.

Let's get this out of the way: Bee Jam Blues is the best track from the Gitaroo Man OST, no contest. The Alternate Version is enough to contend with real life guitar battles, being a single man with a trumpet making a bitch out of a nerd with a guitar. I prefer this version because Mojo goes down swing, blaring his trumpet until the final notes of the song. This guy's level was too easy for a fucking banger of a jam.
Song Score: 16,000/10
If you haven't play Gitaroo Man, I assume you have a higher tolerance for robotic sharks than I do. Anyway, it's a rhythm-based music game that has probably one of the greatest soundtracks I've heard in my life and this track by COIL (not to be confused with the experimental band Coil whose members faces appear outside your window every time you look away) is no exception, being a more polished version of the song we got in the game. Listen and shred.

I'm sorry but you do very much need to listen to punk to be punk. it is literally a music based subculture. punk as we understand it today would NOT exist without this expansive music history. "having the values" w/o listening to punk just makes u an anarchist. take inspo from the subculture if u wanna idc but don't go calling yourself punk when none of the music you listen to is even remotely close. it's like calling urself a metalhead when u don't even like metal.
Because gatekeeping is punk AF, right?
Probably the song that made me fall in love with Brockhampton, this is a downbeat series of rhymes that shows off Kevin Abstract's, Matt Champion's, Joba's, Dom McLennon's and bearface's (Along with Jazze Pha, what the fuc---) talents as they talk about castles and suh.

A forgotten (and apparently unlisted; you're welcome) ditty from our musically gifted jackass Pogo talks about how calmly and classily he's gonna tear your ass apart. Really wanna apologize to the LGBT+ community? Allow them to play this in clubs.
Song Score: 104/10
For another awesome WWE theme, check out Sami Zayn's entrance theme. Face or heel, you gotta dance to a guy when he yells, "Let's Go!". It's law. Why does all of this guy's themes sound like soccer anthems? Is that important to him or something?

Literally nothing got me more hype than hearing "Do you see the writing on the wall?" when I was a kid watching Raw. They really managed to sell Jeff as a babyface back then and...didn't really go anywhere with it but it was still fun. Hopefully Jeff can make his (second) AEW run end in less problems than his showing on Impact (then TNA).
