I was supposed to do this over the weekend. I did not. Now, I must redeem myself with the greatest edition of The Videos ever seen.
1. "Under Pressure" - David Bowie/Queen
This hit was (in)famously ripped off by Vanilla Ice. But who could blame him for wanting that luscious bass line? (Did I just call a bass line "luscious?" Hm. Well, I stand by it.)
Also, everyone starts kissing near the end of the video. Avert your eyes if necessary.
2. "Carry on Wayward Son" - Kansas
I absolutely love this song. The guitars are top-notch from beginning to end. Randy Marsh passionately performed this single on "South Park's" Guitar Hero episode.
3. "Sheena is a Punk Rocker" - The Ramones
One of my favorites.
Great bluesy riff, and a nice solo to boot. One of Clapton's best.
5. "Killing in the Name" - Rage Against the Machine
Without a doubt, this is one of my favorite songs of all-time. You'll notice at least three types of melody within the first two minutes. The fast-paced starting section, the plodding, pounding second part, and the emphatic riff of the refrain. Great song.

Interestingly, I listened to Under Pressure in the car roughly an hour before you posted this.
Did anyone notice Tom Morello in Iron Man?
