#10 The Sound Of Muzak - Porcupine Tree
Original Release Year – 2002 (me aged 27)
The top ten opens with an album track from a slightly obscure Prog Rock band, but stick with me on this. This is track (and band) that I am thankful to my brother for introducing me to. I’ll leave you to do your own research, but this is just one epic from the early 2000s era that I am most fond of.
That the song is based in a 7/8 tempo is testament to the strength of the tune and the lyrics “Music of rebellion makes you wanna rage, but it’s made by millionaires who are nearly twice your age”. There is everything in there – amazing drums, glorious harmonies and a kick-ass guitar solo.
Here for your convenience is a live recording. I love how Colin Edwin on bass is just so pleased to be there, and how the crowd really are there to listen!
