Selected commentaries on random songs from my iTunes library

Basically, I'm just going to listen to some songs on my iTunes library, and do a quick summary of my thoughts on the song. Also, every song title is a YouTube link.

So, let's kick this off on a positive note - It's Only Rock And Roll (But I Like It), by The Rolling Stones - One of my favorite Stones songs, simply because it sums up my feelings on music in its chorus - "Oh, I know it's only rock and roll, but I like it!"

We Will All Go Together When We Go, by Tom Lehrer - Too few people have heard of Tom Lehrer, and this song is what makes me think that he should be more popular. This song, like all of Lehrer's , is nothing but Tom Lehrer singing while he plays piano, and yet he has made some of the funniest songs of all time. This one, in particular, is a classic indictment of nuclear war.

Fight For Your Right (To Party), by The Beastie Boys - This song kicks off with an awesome guitar intro, and keeps going with the awesome. Of course, I'm pretty sure everyone has heard this song, so I'm not going to say much. But If you haven't heard it, check it out.

Mr. Roboto, by Styx - Ahahaha. AHAHAHAHAHAHA. Forgive me for laughing so, but this song is just so hilariously awesome. Everyone has heard the intro. But it's just so awesome. This song is the epitome of 80s music that is objectively horrible, but so awesome it doesn't matter how horrible it is.

I'm Shipping Up To Boston, by Dropkick Murphys - Anyone who's seen the Departed knows this song, it's featured numerous times, and I really only have two words for this song - FUCKING AWESOME!

Iron Man, by Black Sabbath - I AM IRON MAN! ... Gah, sorry, can't help it. Everyone knows this song, or at least knows the intro. But no one ever listens to this song long enough to appreciate my favorite part of it, this really cool bit near the end where the song kinda speeds up and an awesome guitar outro kicks in.

Sunday Bloody Sunday, by U2 - This is one of U2's best songs, and when it's a band as awesome as U2, that's saying a lot. From the powerful drum intro (which I could listen to on loop for hours) to Bono's amazing lyrics and awesome vocal performance, this song is a classic among classics. 

Born To Run, by Bruce Springsteen - Bruce Springsteen is a rock god, and this is the song that thrust him into the pantheon. It opens with an awesome drum intro, and goes into a driving beat that never fails to invigorate me. I've seen Bruce live, and I tell you, there is no feeling quite like 30,000 people all singing Born To Run in time with him.

Stairway To Heaven, by Led Zeppelin - This is the best song of all time, and I will injure anyone who disagrees.

And with that, I will end this. Remember, every song title is a YouTube link to a performance of the song.
