We all do this. You're walking along, listening to your mp3 player, and this awesome, kick-ass song comes on and BAM! You're suddenly battling hordes of ninja orcs with a length of chain and the laser beams that shoot out of your eyes. The kind of songs that make even walking down the sidewalk an adventure.
Feel free to share your own epic songs. Here are mine.

As far as my playlist is concerned, it would be hard for me to tell you since my favourites for it constantly change and I have a horrible memory. But, pretty much any piece of music with the right sound to it will do. Heck even stuff you might not think would work out with that sort of thing, ends up working out for me anyway.
Sincerely,
Stranger
P.S. I love you.
P.P.S Just kidding. I don't love. I relate to you though, and you just gained over +50 cool points in one night! Grats!
