Another take on the usual guilty pleasure topic, this was kicked off for me by this:

Trivium's Like Light to Flies. I can't stand Trivium generally, but something about this song genuinely *grabs* me, from the chorus which I only have to hear once to get it stuck in my head for days, to the metalcore-gone-guitar-hero bits surrounding it. I should really give their discography a relisten, but the last time I did this stood out as a diamond embedded in a heck of a lot of coal.

Shogun was one of my favourite albums of 2008. Can't really stand the rest of their stuff tho

I'm not super into Rosetta but I'm super into their cover of The Cure's Homesick

I've never been a fan of any of Dave Grohl's stuff, including Nirvana, but Shake Your Blood from Probot (his metal side project) is one kick ass song. But then again, Lemmy makes everything better.

Gretchen Wilson covering the Heart classic Barracuda is surprisingly excellent. Doesn't hurt having Alice in Chains as your backing band either. This girl's voice is totally wasted on that pop-country shit that she normally does.

Gigantic +1 from me. Shogun is a diamond amidst a heap of coal.

The entirety of Probot is pretty sweet, though...

Hmm I do have a couple songs/albums that would qualify. 16 Tons by Memento Mori is the only song they've done which I like. Additionally though Dragonforce have always bored me with the exception of Valley Of The Damned. Only other song I can think of is Iron Maiden's Lord Of The Flies the only Blaze era song I like.

True. Hopefully, he'll do a second album sometime in the near future.
