I was supposed to do this over the weekend. I did not. Now, I must redeem myself with the greatest edition of The Videos ever seen.
1. "Under Pressure" - David Bowie/Queen
This hit was (in)famously ripped off by Vanilla Ice. But who could blame him for wanting that luscious bass line? (Did I just call a bass line "luscious?" Hm. Well, I stand by it.)
Also, everyone starts kissing near the end of the video. Avert your eyes if necessary.
2. "Carry on Wayward Son" - Kansas
I absolutely love this song. The guitars are top-notch from beginning to end. Randy Marsh passionately performed this single on "South Park's" Guitar Hero episode.
3. "Sheena is a Punk Rocker" - The Ramones
One of my favorites.
Great bluesy riff, and a nice solo to boot. One of Clapton's best.
5. "Killing in the Name" - Rage Against the Machine
Without a doubt, this is one of my favorite songs of all-time. You'll notice at least three types of melody within the first two minutes. The fast-paced starting section, the plodding, pounding second part, and the emphatic riff of the refrain. Great song.

Report Offensive CommentGreat job, chrono. Only one I'm unfamiliar with is the Ramones one. I'll have to check this out later...

Interestingly, I listened to Under Pressure in the car roughly an hour before you posted this.
Did anyone notice Tom Morello in Iron Man?
