    11 - The Unforgiven (Metallica)

    2026-02-26 | 17 mins.
    They dedicate their lives - to running all of his! Most beautiful song off the Black Album? Did you know that main theme's chord progression is the same as Fade To Black's? Very cool little ode there. The lyrics and chords are in perfect harmony here.

    10 - Maybe I'm Amazed (Paul McCartney)

    2026-02-24 | 9 mins.
    You right me when I'm wrong! One of the best post-Beatles songs. And there's something very special about the live version. Just beautiful how he adds that alternate ending. An exquisite love song!

    9 - Limelight (Rush)

    2026-02-18 | 20 mins.
    The underlying theme! A true rock staple. 3/4 mixed with 4/4 mixed with 7/4. Relative Major and minor. Suspended chords. Introspective lyrics. So RUSH. One of my all time favorites.

    8 - Inertiatic Esp & Son et Lumiere (The Mars Volta)

    2026-02-10 | 13 mins.
    Nowwww I'm lost! Insanely cool opening to a debut album. Haunting chord progressions, explosive hits, Latin flare, uncanny singing, ridiculous drums, Flea on BASS, and unorthodox guitar parts. The Mars Volta is unforgettable. Sort of like a Latin Zeppelin, but still truly unique.

    7 - Plush (Stone Temple Pilots)

    2026-02-04 | 10 mins.
    Got time, time to wait for tomorrow. The chromatic descension... the bluesy-ness! Song has grown on me so much over time. Each section has its own distinct chord progression. And the bluesy delivery glues it all together.
