God

God - My Pal

Proof that brutal simplicity and pure inspiration outweighs technical proficiency and musical craft every time. God fashioned this definitive statement of impassioned teenage alienation out of a single spiky guitar riff that embodies the desperation of the song. Joel's vocals are raw, throaty and wretched. "You're my only friend/but you don't even like me", he wails fitfully. Appropriately, the song combusts in a whirlwind of drums and some immaculate supersonic guitar hysterics before crumbling to its knees with THAT riff the only thing left standing.
