I'm a big fan of acts like the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. There are a lot of classical and traditional songs that can benefit from a good power chord thrashing.  :tounge:  Please enjoy Madison Rising and their rendition of our country's national anthem.

I enjoy Opera singing very much...

I am just not into people screaming and shouting when they sing.  I am just from the old school.

Sure seemed to me that every single one of the historical images used to support this piece were sincerely-chosen --- legitimate patriotic moments in our national history, beginning with the 9/11 flag-raising. This wasn't some cynical exploitation at work in these choices: they kick butt and take names. It's also self-aware, showing a slacker sitting wasted on a sofa next to a guy playing air-guitar. Welcome to the music world....

Ain't nothin' wrong with a little bit of patriotic rock 'n' roll. I'm a-gonna rate this one a solid 95.

Ah, but does it have a beat you can dance to? Why am I looking around for Dick Clark?  :tounge:

I don't know how it works for you, but my monitor drips a few ounces of pure red American blood every time I play it.
