- DragonForce - Disciples of Babylon (Hands down their best instrumental section, with that jazzy interlude. Also, it keeps the video gamey sounds to a minimum. Shame they could never match it up.)
- Rise Against - Hero of War (RA are pretty boring, on the whole, but this song is awesome. Incredibly heartfelt lyrics and an astounding vocal delivery. It helps that it's acoustic, sets it apart from the rest of their catalogue.)
