Good god, the drums on this song. The instrumentation here, in general, is great, but the drums are something else.

It's like a mad scientist concocted this song in a lab, only they got their creation exactly right on the first try and didn't look back. This song is an adventure, and it's never not thrilling.

Not just a cultural artifact of what Lemmy Kilmister was doing before Motorhead was a thing, but a great song in its own right. Lemmy's talent was apparent from the beginning.

It may only be the third-best song on its album, but it's the third-best song on its album behind two of my 50 or so favorite songs ever. I think it can settle for being a very, very good bronze.

Keeping with the trend of songs not being the best songs on their respective albums, "Forever" is one of my favorite songs of the current decade so far, but the second-best song on the album is a pretty damn good one, too.

Lowkey shocked that this song ended up so low, I thought it would contend for a spot in the top ten. This is the first time that Elizabeth Fraser ensnared my heart, and not the last.
I almost thought about including Tim Buckley's version alongside this, just to see how both would fare. Maybe it's a missed opportunity.

What kept you motivated Postal's not completely bad. It felt like a funhouse that I enjoyed the start of the experience but by the end I was looking for the door. 38-40 didn't engage me as much. Now if I said I had blood coming out of my ears, that means I hated it...

honestly visions was higher than i expected, if this was like just about any other song from hifn then i’d rank it even higher.
pretty mixed set of results. nice that my bottom 2 was the actual bottom 2!! only 1 top ten loss so i guess i’d say that’s a win :0

Well dang, 9 out of my bottom 10 songs have already been revealed, and 1 out of my top 10 has been revealed.
For my bottom 2, I have to say that Sugaan Essena stood out as the least appealing song to me, although it certainly has effort put into it. I would rank other Star Wars songs higher such as Cantina Band. And Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground is outside of the time period and genres of music that I'm interested in, but I can admire Blind Willie Johnson as a person.

It speaks volumes of this song's appeal that people have had polar opposite emotional responses to this song, and every response is valid. This song is what you make of it, and that's part of its enormous appeal. Personally, I can see both the heartbreak and the joy that this song can inspire, and they work together to create one of the greatest songs of the early days of rock and roll.
Also, did you really think I would get through this reveal post without mentioning that Matt Bellamy's dad played rhythm guitar on this song? Come on.

The primary reason I included this song was just to see how it would do with Pulse audiences five years later. As it turns out, the response to this song is much more mixed today, but there are definitely still fans of this song other than myself.
