Chicago are one of my all-time least favorite bands...post-let's say 1972. Their first couple of albums, in particular, have some standout songs, none moreso than this behemoth. Even Peter Cetera is bearable here...kind of!

The second half reminds me a bit of a Mogwai song and that's about as far as my enjoyment of this went.

For me, three Zep songs rule above all of the others: "Kashmir", "Achilles Last Stand", and this. There's no room for "Stairway" here.

This song is an exercise in showing what can happen when a band effectively takes a riff from another band and makes it even better. I like "Life Goes On", but this song's energy is something else.

While "Creeping Death" will always be my favorite song from Ride the Lightning (and my favorite Metallica song, period), this is right up there. The solo here is one of Metallica's very best, making you feel like you're actually riding a stream of lightning.
Sorry, rowellfarm490.

on a list this good, the only Sigur Rós albums that would've stood a chance on my list are Ágætis byrjun and Kveikur, and even those two aren't guaranteed to move the needle

I'm sure this effects many people for different reasons, but the biggest reason this cuts so deep for me is that, as someone who is from the Cincinnati area (where The National are also from), it reminds me all too well of certain parts of my past.

To this day, the most massive-sounding song I have ever heard. 20 years later, it remains as overwhelmingly gorgeous as ever. I love "Change" dearly, but the release of "Minerva" was the moment Deftones became one of my all-time favorite bands.

Fine song, but it's lower-tier Deftones for me, and in a rankdown as stacked as this one, it was destined to be in my bottom 10.

I like jazz, but there are levels, and this song is nearly on a level of its own. Every instrument on this track is used to its utmost potential.
