Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd

Comment: It is kind of slow at the beginning, but you will get what I mean at around the 5-minute marker.

I really like it. How could you not? But it does drop a few points for being one of the most famous rock songs of all time. Quite familiar. Still, it’s a banger. Nice one.

Was choosing between Aesop and this by MF DOOM

Nobody can listen to either and say that doesn’t perfectly fit the category

EDIT: lol Freebird

So basically, this category should have been described as “Pick shit I already like” rather than some 10,000 hours nonsense that it was named. If I knew that, I actually would’ve gone with something like Stairway to Heaven.

Now pretty convinced of a nodium in Superuberbob’s category lol

Polyphia - G.O.A.T.

Comment: Don’t think any of these dudes are strangers to the metronome.

Submitter decides to go with math rock noodling. Fair enough. It’s pretty good. Lacks a bit of soul, which is always a danger with this stuff. I like it.

Just sucks when a category description doesn’t match what appears to be wanted.

Slow down, please. I just got to the 5 minute mark in Freebird.

You should try ones where the positions change after the reveal for maximum frustration

Yeah, that style of guitaring is so-so for me, but the drumming was tight af, went with it. The end is good.

Valentina Lisitsa - Islamey: Oriental Fantasy

Comment: This is one of the most difficult piano pieces in history. What’s amazing is that it’s not just some joke to frustrate masters of the piano. It actually sounds great as evidenced here.

Nice. Talk about beast mode. I knew we would have at least one pianist. I’m glad there is some musicality here and not just flexing. I like it. Thanks.
