Top Five

Sooo, you know when you go to a concert or rock out really hard in your car and later, you notice your ears are ringing, then you wig out because you realize that your hearing is permanently damaged?

Top five songs for which you would willingly damage your hearing:

5. Ike and Tina Turner - Sing the Blues - "I've Been Loving You Too Long"

The Tina I grew up with had giant hair and sang "What's Love Got to Do With It" so I about wrecked my car the day I first heard this song on NPR. I literally had to pull over and weep. I had no idea she was so fabulous!

4. Rage Against the Machine - Battle of LA - "Testify"

Quite possibly The Best Song to Scream Along With In Your Car. I'd kill someone's mother to have them play in KC.

3. Deftones - White Pony - "Passenger"

Only Chino and Maynard could make a song about roadhead this hot. In the alternate universe where I'm a stripper, this is my signature song.

2. Nine Inch Nails - Things Falling Apart - "Metal"

You know I had a hard time narrowing this lost down to two NIN songs, but this one is so groovy and Gary Numan that I want to gyrate when I hear it, regardless of location.

1. Nine Inch Nails - And All That Could Have Been Live - "The Day the World Went Away"

I geek out so hard for this song. It moves me beyond reason. Reznor has outdone himself here.
