Warlords: Three Kingdoms

The Darkness was the start. Dragonforce is the next stage. ANd they have the WORST use of piano in their music. There is a correct way to use piano in metal and an incorrect way. Heavy notes only and only on intro and outro, never in the middle or during a verse. Its make it sound cheesey instead of reinforcing the sound. Mushroomhead uses good piano in a FEW of their songs but usually they screw it up so meh. Dragonforce also has some of the lamest most meaningless lyrics I've seen in a while. They will die out of course, but its just like, why waste the money it takes to fund crappy bands like that when we could have more Slipknot/Tool/Korn/Queens Of The Stone Age/Foo Fighters/Nirvana/NiN/Gorillaz level of talent artists. I mean really, its a true waste of money. Its sad. The Melvins should be more popular! On a side note!

I started on this a long time ago, and finally got to doing it. The following is a list of my favorite 50 songs. This is entirely my opinion, of course. With only 50 spots open, it was very difficult to pick, and it's likely they could flip around easily. But yeah, here goes...

We have a decent overlap of musical interest, although a lot of your top 50 would probably be in the 100's-200's for me.

Lao Kong
45. "Sweet Child of Mine" by Guns and Roses
43. "Beat It" by Michael Jackson
35. "Livin' On a Prayer" by Bon Jovi
34. "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins
23. "Tribute" by Tenacious D
21. "Land of Confusion" by Disturbed
13. "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin
5. "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica

Eyes On Me by Faye Wong is from FF8, yes. I really like Sanctuary from Kingdom Hearts II as well, but that song is still too fresh for me to consider, I think. I like the cover Disturbed did for Land of Confusion, but I think I still prefer the original by Genesis better. It's quality, definitely. I like Kashmir, but I like Come With Me with Puff Daddy and Jimmy Page better. Otherwise, you can see where we overlap some; mostly with older music. I have 3 Foo Fighters CD's, but I lost interest after There Is Really Nothing Left To Lose.

Black Hole
The only song on your entire list I think I've even heard is Blame by Soul Coughing.

Istanbul
Beck - Devil's Haircut (But definitely not their best song)
Led Zeppelin - Kashmir (See comment I made up a ways)
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Can't Stop (But definitely not their best song)

Come on, where's Rollercoaster of Love (say what?)

Others
Well, the only other comment is that while I sorta like Linkin Park, I really like the song Faint, because it's a great workout song.
