Paint It Black is about a guy mourning the death of his lover. Also, "Rev. Gary Death" would be a cool performance name.

Ahh okay. Cool I had no idea. Didn't take any points off or anything, but now i know that that's pretty cool and see the song in another way.
And yes that's an awesome name. The only pastor i'd listen to.

Yeah, Rev. Gary Davis is probably one of my favorite bluesmen, absolutely unbelievable guitar work and intensely passionate vocals. Although I must admit, there's a few pastors I'd listen to...

Mozart - Lacrimosa
9/10
It's the requiem, and it's in D minor, so you would have to be a pretty shitty composer to fuck that up. I'm not even that big of a Mozart fan, but this deserves its iconic status.
Andi Almqvist - Death
8/10
A nice melancholic melody to it.
Christian Death - Cavity - First Communion
8.5/10
The price of red death is the price of your love. I considered submitting this, but ultimately decided on something else.
Nick Cave - O'Malley's Bar
6.5/10
I'm interesting in exploring Nick Cave further, having wet my teeth on the Birthday Party already. However, I felt that that song just rambled on and on and on, and I would have liked it more at half that length.
Alice In Chains - Rain When I Die
6/10
As much as I like AiC, this is a metal song, as I've pointed out, so I must dock a few points.
Eric Clapton - Tears In Heaven
4.5/10
Connor Clapton Committed Suicide Because His Father Sucks. Seriously, though, this is pretty sappy, although that chromatically descent in the chorus is a little bit good. And it invokes nostalgia for when I was in middle school orchestra and we played this song at one point.
Comus - Drip Drip
6/10
Some weird, wild stuff. Not quite my cup of tea, though.
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
8/10
Sure, it's overplayed, but I hardly ever play the radio in my car, so I haven't grown sick of it like some others might.
Man's Gin - The Death of Jimmy Sturgis
8/10
It's been likened to a shitty AiC, but I would make a more favorable comparison of that sort. It's got a nice alt folkish thing going on.
Hüsker Dü - Pink Turns to Blue
8/10
Good post-punk with some proto-black metal leanings.
Carissa's Wierd - Ignorant Piece of Shit
6.5/10
Not bad.
The Rolling Stones - Paint It Black
9/10
I'm not a Rolling Stones fan, but I'm a fan of this song. It really
Rev. Gary Davis - Death Don't Have No Mercy
8/10
I'm not much into blues, but this more somber, minor-key strain of blues that I can dig, as opposed to formulaic 12-bar blues.
Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau - Wenn dein Mütterlein
8/10
Harrowing and melancholy, a welcome
Blue Öyster Cult - Then Came the Last Days of May
7.5/10
Pretty good.
Gravenhurst - Animals
7.5/10
Ditto.
Tenhi - Tuulenkaato
8/10
Soothing and beautiful.

2/10. I despise The Rolling Stones. I suppose I'll give it a couple points for being in topic.

nor does RYM. i admit i was expecting that to be more controversial when it was first stated in here though.

If they are metal then so are Soundgarden, Faith no More, Helmet and Stone Temple Pilots.
Also Rain When I Die contains no metal riffing whatsoever.

I didn't want to make it completely obvious that I picked the song.

It's hard trying to defend your song because when you start people automatically know. lol
tbh, i'm not as picky with this. also, i doubt we'd see AiC posted in the metal mix tape, so where else to put them?
