As a thirteen-year-old boy living in South Florida, I spent a lot of my time listening to 949 Zeta, the modern rock station. While it had plenty of terrible bands on it - Nickleback and Creed come to mind - it also turned me on to acts like Nine Inch Nails, Rage Against the Machine, The White Stripes and Queens of the Stone Age.

When it came out, "No One Knows" hit me like a drunk with a brick. It still does.

After that, I went out and found Songs for the Deaf, which became my gateway drug into everything heavy (along with Zeppelin and Sabbath). For years, it was my rock Bible, and I would refer to it in dire times.

Recently, I've noticed that Decibel seems to be including it on their Top 100 Greatest Metal Albums of the Decade special issue, and I can't be more thrilled. In celebration, I'm posting a clip of the band playing one of my favorite cuts from that album, "A Song for the Dead," live in 2002. The lineup is considered by many fans to be the band's best, and perhaps the peak of their career - but I'll let you decide.
