Here's a song that's had me foot-tapping over the last month or so. It's called "Hypnotize" by a band called "System of a Down".
A quick intro to this extremely talented band: This band has 4 members all of whom are Armenian Americans. Their trademark music style blends new age heavy metal rock with traditional melodies. Armenia has strong cultural influences from Persia and Russia owing to its geographical location in central Eurasia. This fact can be seen in all of the music that the band composes. Most of their songs are like a MotoGP motobike ride across a twisty circuit in just 2 gears - low, high. Their sound shifts between mellow traditional tunes played with the guitar & other ethnic instruments and improvised high-flying electric guitar portions, giving you a totally unique listening experience.
This particular song masterfully mixes Islamic Sufi tunes with heavy metal. It's a pretty heavy song for those uninitiated to rock but I've seen LP-Faint a few posts below this one, so, I'm guessing this one should pass ;) Listen to this one when you're not doing anything important; the tune is pretty catchy and the guitar solo towards the end just sticks to your mind for a while.
