'Dancing Shoes' By Arctic Monkeys
Off their monumental first album this song is simple powered by one repeated riff with the occasional crass of chords. The real brilliance of it however is Alex Turner's clever lyrics which fit fantastically with the music and create a heartfelt pouring of Northern adolescent angst and expression. A great song of a great album.
You Me At Six with 'Jealous Minds Think Alike'
This is a rock song that'll get you happily head banging along singing the accessible tune which has led to the band often being negatively branded as pop rock but accessibility doesn't detract form how good the song is.
'Cave' Muse
Off their first album before everything got as excessive and theatrical as their last one was this song is brimming with excellent riffs increased greatly with the piano and is as self involved as any good rock song. Also with some amazing vocals from Matt which resonate with the emotions he's singing about perfectly.
'She's Lost Control' Joy Division
The bass in this song is simply incredible and combines brilliantly with Ian's doomsday voice and raw guitar. A song you can really lose yourself in.
'Joy. Discovery. Invention.' Biffy Clyro
First track of their first album it's tender and offbeat and oh so catchy. A slower song with a soft melody which is then subverted where they retreat to their more comfortable heavier style then back again with Simon's lovely vocals.
