Indecision/Shura

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahL1x6HX4h0

Great vocals, 90s beat, soft guitar licks all over the place. This track hits home on so many levels.

Hearts Wires/Deftones

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJbvSmRuV_w

"Only Deftones have mastered the art of making beautiful heavy music. Others can do one or the other, but not the two together." Couldn't have put it better, Mr/s YouTube Commenter.

The Test/Chemical Brothers feat. Richard Ashcroft

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3LPe3-LNR4

A school-time favorite that got me through (funnily enough) many exam nights. The vocalist is none other than the man who gave us Bittersweet Symphony.

Maggot Brain/Funkadelic

Nothing to say here, except that I wish I'd heard this sooner. A guitar trip like no other.

On The Beach/Neil Young

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKgj1FNToWY

Major seventh chords done right. Also, the exquisite laid-back guitar solo two and a half minutes into the song.

Josie/Steely Dan

Their studio albums have always had the best sounding drum tracks. Rainey's bass, of course, is masterful.

Prototype/Outkast

Absolutely love how they experiment with off-key pitching and actually make it sound good. The steady rhythm guitar throughout the song is blissful.

The Arsonist/Puscifer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0C55UjLNUbw

Keenan's masterful arrangement takes the listener to a place that is simultaneously dark and groovy. Carina Round and Juliette Commagere provide the haunting background vocals.
