The Eagles - "Hotel California"

Not everyone's "Go To" Halloween song, but I always get this eerie feeling while listening to it! A rock classic and one HELL of a band!! Happy Halloween gang!!👻💀🎃

Monster T

The Connection - "(It's A) Monster Holiday"

Ghost Man

Metallica - "Of Wolf and Man"

October 28th 2021 was officially Metallica's 40th anniversary! So naturally i've got to give a tip of the hat to my long time lads! This is about as close as they got to a Halloween song, which is odd considering how big of a horror fan lead guitarist Kirk Hammett is. I guess they have covered quite a few Misfits songs. Anyway. I'm going with the S&M version of this song. I feel it got a great treatment with the Orchestra added in and can't go wrong with Jason Newsted on backing vocals.

Mr. T

Len - "Cryptik Souls Crew"

G-Man

Black Box Recorder - "The Facts of Life"

The decade from 2000-2009 gets overlooked all the time when it comes to music. One of these days i'm going to roll up my sleeves and dust off all the tunes to make some sort of cohesive Top 100 list. The best part of an exercise like that is re-discovering absolute GEMS like this one. That particular decade has hundreds of them

The Watchmen - "Incarnate"

Dano

The Decemberists - "Calamity Song"

Jonny HP

Billy Joel - "We Didn't Start The Fire"

This song has been on repeat in my head since Tuesday, so it has to be my SOTDF

Mike D

We The Kings - "Spin"

J.B.

Silverchair - "Straight Lines"

Remember this 'comeback' tune from 2007? No? Yeah, I don't think you're alone. Aside from the rather pirate like appearance of front man Daniel Johns in the video. It was a huge switch from the quintessential sound we all grew up with in the mid/late 90's. It's definitely good. But, nevertheless, this definitely has a coming of age progression to it and in fact this track pays homage to the multitude of struggles Johns had to deal with over the years. Seriously, there's a lot. I thought the biggest was his bust up to Natalie Imbruglia but i'm definitely wrong. Take a listen and enjoy
