The Best Modern Rock Song?

Torn Daredevil · 11-08-2004, 06:41 PM

I was pondering... What do you all think is the best modern rock song (probably 1990-present)? It's gotta be just fucking epic in its ability to rock and every component of the song has to be top-of-the-line.

Now this isn't necessarily your favorite song... Just what you think the "best" overall is. I don't mean "best" as in it means emotional attachment to you, just the best written and best performed modern rock song.

I have to cast my vote for Aenema by Tool. I don't love everything they've put out, but this song is FUCKING AMAZING!

Here's some of my faves:
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
Creed - Higher
Bon Jovi - You Give Love A Bad Name
Aerosmith - Love In An Elevator
Disturbed - Down With The Sickness
Faktion - 7 Days
Sevendust - Enemy
Linkin Park - Faint
Nickelback - How You Remind Me
Metallica - I Disappear
Saliva - Rest In Pieces
Seventh Day Slumber - I Know

I'll think of more later.

Good God, this is incredibly hard to do! I will give you that Aenema is a great song, but one of the best ones I've heard by Tool is Eulogy. Stinkfist and Hooker With a Penis also rock my world. I love Tool... /fangirl

Others I can think of off the top of my head:

Immortality -- Pearl Jam
Love, Hate, Love, Down In a Hole -- Alice In Chains
Say Hello to Heaven -- Temple of the Dog
Birth Ritual, Seasons -- Soundgarden
Nirvana -- Something (in the way)
Minister/Medicine Woman -- Floater
Magdalena, Thinking of You, Pet -- A Perfect Circle

People, pretty many of the songs you write down are not really MODERN rock tracks!

RMadd · 11-09-2004, 05:37 PM

we're going by Hellboy's definition, 1990 to the present

Lith, I think he meant "modern" in the context of era rather than the specific type of rock.
