Blind Musical Taste Test #8 - Hard Rock
Several of you may recognize this song, but a lot of you won't (the album is a bit obscure).
Again, if you know who it is please don't post it. I'll put a spoiler on the tag at the end of the thread after a few days.
Make sure to listen to it at the 720p setting (the sound quality is noticeably better that way).

Cool song. I like the guitar and bass riffs. Love the vocals (if I'm wrong about who that singer is I may have to eat someone's hat). The song does wear out its welcome in the last couple of minutes, though.

Erik, I know this is from one of your favorite albums, particular from this band, but it's still my least favorite of theirs. Props for your continued belief in it though, even if we don't agree.

First 25 seconds are pretty generic. It's the type of rock you might expect to be the background music on a cooking/travel show (complete with sped-up video as the host enters the biker bar famous for its chili).
I didn't care to listen past that.

Well, yeah that's pretty unmistakeable. I'm not really a fan of the band's music, but my two oldest kids are.
I can't deny its long-lasting appeal although I don't fully understand it. I like the basic groove to this song and even the noodly bits don't really wear out their welcome too much. I'm going to see if the kids want to give the album a try.

That's one of the 3 or 4 songs I liked on that CD.
There's a nice groove to it and the singer's voice works well with the overall vibe of the song.
