Write-Up: Oh geesh. I'm gonna be honest with you all again here. I was never a big fan when Santana had his most major popularity spree in the late 90's. I love that he can absolutely rock the guitar but I found most of his collaborations to be less than thrilling. I do like some of his original work but none of that made it into the ranking so I guess it doesn't say that much. I wonder what Santana felt like having to play next to Whitey Ford considering the two play at dramatically different speeds on a regular basis. Ford's tunes are usually simplistic in chord progression while Santana's fingers dance all over the fret board. They did it though and the result is ok. That's all I'll give it for credit here. ====================================
==================================== [5th Place] { 1,022nd Place } [10's][ 194th Place] Song: "Halo On Fire" Band: Metallica Album: Hardwired... To Self Destruct ---{ 2016 }--- Genre: Heavy Metal Score:[5.2][6.1][6.2][3.2][5.1][3.3][6.2] = [35.3] = [5.042] Video:
Write-Up: Snake's gonna give me s*** for this one lol. I honestly didn't think that I'd drop a Metallica song below 1,000 other songs but here we are and here we go.. There is a ton of Metallica that I love but in the last couple of releases I've sort of become distant with the band. Or hell I might as well be honest here. I lost interest when they dumped Newsted. I think it was the worst thing that could have happened to the band post Burton. I don't even know the name of the newest band member and really don't care to know tbh. This song just doesn't measure up to the iconic tunes the band is more known for imo. Luckily I wasn't too restrictive on the number of songs per band and there will be a healthy dose of Metallica's best peppered throughout further up the list. ====================================
==================================== [4th Place] { 1,011th Place } [00's][ 222nd Place] Song: "Haunted" Band: Poe Album: Haunted ---{ 2000 }--- Genre: Alternative Rock Score:[6.1][4.2][6.3][0.3][7.2][5.2][6.2] = [35.5] = [5.071] Video:
Write-Up: Because of unfamiliarity I sort of feel like this fell through the cracks in the opposite direction. On the surface I don't mind the beat and vocals but as a whole package it isn't necessarily a song I would listen to on a regular basis. The message of the song makes a bit of sense for me so it got some points there. Unfortunately it was right now when I realized that this song was used in Blair Witch 2 so it should have gotten atleast a point or so in the memories category since I've had to watch that movie a few times with the wife. (She's a horror buff and every year I have to slog through many of her horror favorites which include many B-rated sequels). Anyway, there are some obvious reasons this made it higher than I was expecting but I can't help that it feels like I should have had it lower than some tunes I've already dropped. ====================================
