Vocal skill, song structure, lyrics, and production: It's not even close.

Be careful if you start playing saxophone on a NYC subway, because there's a non-zero chance another sax player will challenge you to a battle.

Alternative #DNC Playlist Thread

The DNC has drawn a lot of attention for their playlist this week. They have certainly picked some good ones, but this thread is for songs we would like to hear played there, even though they certainly would never get picked.

I'll start.

Tool - The Grudge

Ah, some nice easy listening.

Body Count - Raining Blood (Slayer)

This is the pianistic equivalent of an M61 Vulcan rotary cannon.

Yuja is one of very few pianists alive who can play this arrangement with this speed and clarity.

Time to post this one again.

Rage Against the Machine - Know Your Enemy
June 24, 1994
Glastonbury Festival

Here's another amazing choral reimagining by Eric Whitacre. This one may rip your heart out even more than the Johnny Cash version.

Hurt - Trent Reznor, arr. Eric Whitacre

This isn't really a cover; it's a complete reimagining. You may never think of Depeche Mode's Enjoy the Silence the same way again.

Watch his explanation first before you listen to the performance.
