My Top 5 Favourite songs

Not per definition a list that will never change, but the top 3 has been steady for a long time.

5. The National - Apartment Story

Since Bloodbuzz Ohio i fell in love with the deep, brooding sound of the National. Working my way back from that I discovered Apartment Story on the magnificent album “Boxer”.  It just triggers me, great song for when you’re in a train/car/airplane, watching the world outside.

4. Thin Lizzy - Emerald

Emerald sounds like the beginning of an epic battle. The heroic theme and the duelling guitar play at the end make for a wonderful ride. 

3. Foo Fighters - Everlong

The band that got me into Rock music in the first place. As with Emerald, Everlong has that broad epic feel where you feel invincible and can take on the world, and Dave Grohl is just a great musician. 

2. Pantera - Cemetary Gates

Oh man, this song, it’s the sole definition of awesome. From the sweet build up to pounding verse, crazy guitars and that damn high pitch from Phil Anselmo near the end, just perfect. 

1. Manic Street Preachers - Motorcycle Emptiness

I don’t know what it is with this song,  but it’s one of those tracks that just stand out and for some reason stick with you the most. Is it the great guitar work by Richey Edwards? The overall tone of the song? I can’t quite explain why, but this is my all-time favourite song.
