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

    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.  Free Ear Training: https://learn.danbarracuda.com/practice Unlock Your Musician's Ear (Video Course): https://learn.danbarracuda.com/unlock Let Me Break Down Your Song: https://learn.danbarracuda.com/breakdown

    7 - Plush (Stone Temple Pilots)

    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.  Free Ear Training: https://learn.danbarracuda.com/practice Unlock Your Musician's Ear (Video Course): https://learn.danbarracuda.com/unlock Let Me Break Down Your Song: https://learn.danbarracuda.com/breakdown

    3 - Mrs. Robinson (Simon & Garfunkel)

    4 - Vicarious (Tool)

    Whatever flavor it happens to be. What a way to open an album. I'll never forget the first time I heard it. Headphones on in my dark room, anticipating the new release of my new favorite band in 2006. The lyrics...

    5 - The Ecstasy Of Gold (Ennio Morricone)

    No words, just magic! Yeah this one's one of my favorite pieces of music, ever. Has been opening Metallica concerts since about 1983. So I've heard it in a stadium about 8 times now. Chills...

    6 - No Quarter (Led Zeppelin)

    The Dogs of Doom are howling more. John Paul Jones at his best. Led Zeppelin PRIME right here. Two sections that could toggle back and forth forever. Sophisticated dissonance meets heavy bus blues. What a combo.  Free Ear Training: https://learn.danbarracuda.com/practice Unlock Your Musician's Ear (Video Course): https://learn.danbarracuda.com/unlock Let Me Break Down Your Song: https://learn.danbarracuda.com/breakdown

    1 - Eleanor Rigby (The Beatles)

    Where DO they all belong? Two chords, but it's what they do with E minor and C Major. George Martin's string arrangement is out of this world. The melody is one of a kind.  Free Ear Training: https://learn.danbarracuda.com/practice Unlock Your Musician's Ear (Video Course): https://learn.danbarracuda.com/unlock Let Me Break Down Your Song: https://learn.danbarracuda.com/breakdown

  8. 2 - Another Brick In The Wall pt.2 (Pink Floyd)

    29 DE GEN.

    2 - Another Brick In The Wall pt.2 (Pink Floyd)

    No dark sarcasm in the classroom. Straight D minor, but the arrangement makes it even more melancholic. Paired with some killer lyrics and a disco beat, this song is forever memorable. Don't get me started on the solo chords!
