So I really haven't been too active in the song nomination section, simply because I don't know what I'd nominate that a) people are terribly familiar with or b) would have a decent chance of getting in. Not that I'm trying to be a music elitist or anything, I just have some odd tastes, and have a love of relatively unknown bands. So, with that out of the way, let's see what I can pull out of my noggin here...
Floater
My first pick has got to be Floater (www.floatermusic.com). Located in Portland, OR, they're on of the most original and talented bands I've ever seen. A huge diverse catalog of songs spanning the past 13 years, these guys seriously bring the rock. If you're anywhere on the west coast (especially the northwest), go see them! You will NOT be disappointed, as they've got one of the best live shows EVER.
The entire Glyph album needs to be DLC, as in it's entirety, it's an amazing sonic experience, rocks entirely way too hard, and has some of the bands greatest songs, such as "Cinema" and the drinking anthem "The Sad Ballad of Danny Boy". The album is quite up and down, so it's part heavy, part dark, and everywhere inbetween.
"Mexican Bus" off of Angels In The Flesh, Devils In The Bone would be a fun song, but I think that "American Theatric" is the clear-cut winner as being the most rocking song on the album.
"Queen Of The Goats", "Exiled", "Here Comes The Dog", "Alcoholic", "King Rabbit", "Marriage of the Black Sheep", and "Independence Day" would all be great picks off of Burning Sosobra.
Alter is a great album, but it's a bit slower-paced... But it's quite melodic, and very deep. "Zero Hour" would be an awesome pick, to start.
Stone By Stone is the newest album, and songs like "An Apology", "Weightless", and "In Transition" would be great to start with.
I know I'm a bit crazy going into so much detail, but this is one band that I truly believe in, and I think would be a huge challenge for EVERYONE involved. The band is comprised of three members, the bassist handling the vocal duties, and he's a GREAT bassist, so EVERYONE will have a fun time. I know that HMX likes to break new artists where possible (most of them are friends of the devs, but still), and it'd be nice to see Floater get some love on a national level. Someone at HMX needs to check this stuff out, and see if it's a possibility. Please? :D
