The Rasmus - In the Shadows 2003

"In the Shadows" is a song by Finnish alternative rockband the Rasmus, included on the group's fifth studio album Dead Letters. Released in Finland in January 2003, the single achieved considerable chart success throughout Europe and Oceania, including the UK where it reached number 3, and New Zealand where it topped the chart. The song was nominated for the Kerrang! Award for Best Single in 2004. The chorus is based on the "millennial whoop" vocal pattern (named as such as it was used extensively in 2010s pop music), and is considered the earliest 21st century example of this tool in popular music. The "whoop" did exist before, but only became ubiquitous after "In the Shadows".

There are four different music videos for the song: the Finnish version, the European version, the American version, and a fourth, simplified version. A new version of the song, co-written by and featuring Ukrainian rap group Kalush Orchestra, is accompanied by a music video. "In the Shadows" was released for Guitar Hero: World Tour as downloadable content, available as either a single track or as part of the European Track Pack 03. The song was also unlockable in Guitar Rock Tour.

"In the Shadows" received a total of 80% yes votes!

Maximum the Hormone - What's Up, People?! 2007

Maximum the Hormone is a Japanese heavy metal/hardcore punk band from Hachiōji, Tokyo, formed in March 1997. Their line-up has consisted of vocalist Daisuke-han, drummer Nao, guitarist Maximum the Ryo-kun, and bassist Ue-chang since 1999. Each member alternates singing lead vocals, often within the same song, with the exception of Ue-chang, who provides backup vocals almost exclusively.

The group is best known for their unconventional and experimental style of alternative metal music. Over their career, they have found success incorporating elements of heavy metal, hardcore punk, hip hop, pop, funk, and ska into their sound. Stylistically, their music runs the gamut from being dark and serious, to ironic or humorous, often with drastic shifts in tempo and mood over the course of a song. The band's eclectic nature frequently draws comparisons to System of a Down.

Bu-ikikaesu is their third studio album. It was the band's first album to chart on the Oricon charts, debuting at number five and selling 70,000 copies in its first week, after which it remained on the charts for seventy-eight weeks. The RIAJ certified the album Gold, selling more than 100,000 copies in Japan and 250,000 worldwide.

Three tracks from the album went on for use in two anime series. "What's Up, People?!" and "Zetsubō Billy" were used as the opening and ending for episodes 20–37 of Death Note, while the song "Akagi" was used for the anime of the same name. I've decided to add the Death Note intro to this post as well, for The Experience™. :)

"What's Up, People?!" received a total of 55,1% yes votes!

Boyz ll Men - End Of The Road 1992

"End of the Road" is a song by American R&B group Boyz II Men for the soundtrack to the 1992 film Boomerang, starring Eddie Murphy. It was released in June 1992 by LaFace, Arista and Motown, and is written by Babyface, Antonio L.A. Reid and Daryl Simmons. It spent a then record-breaking 13 weeks at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, a record broken later in the year by Whitney Houston's 14-week number one hit "I Will Always Love You"; Boyz II Men would later match Houston's record with "I'll Make Love to You", which spent 14 weeks at number one in 1994, and then in 1995 reclaim the record with "One Sweet Day" (a duet with Mariah Carey) (poll #296), which spent 16 weeks at number one.

"End of the Road" was the number one single on the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 Singles of 1992. It was also ranked by Billboard as the sixth most successful song of the decade 1990–1999. Internationally, it reached number one in Australia, the UK, and on the Hot 100 Eurochart, among others. The song won Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals and Best R&B Song at the 1993 Grammy Awards.

It did not originally appear on Boyz II Men's debut album, Cooleyhighharmony (1991). It was released after all singles from their debut had been released, and was their fifth single overall. However, Cooleyhighharmony was re-issued in 1992 and 1993 to include "End of the Road" due to the success of the single. In 1993 the Spanish version of the song "Al Final Del Camino" was released as a single. The song has been covered by various artists, including the Korean group BTS.

"End of the Road" received a total of 57,1% yes votes. Previous Boyz II Men polls: #243 "Hey Lover", #296 "One Sweet Day".

P.O.D. - Youth of the Nation 2001

"Youth of the Nation" is a song by American nu metal band P.O.D. It was released on November 27, 2001, as the second single to come from their second major label album, Satellite. It was inspired in part by the school shootings at Santana High School and Columbine High School. "Youth of the Nation" became the band's only number 1 hit on the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and reached number 28 on the Billboard Hot 100, their only single to reach the top 40.

The song's inspiration stems from a trip when the band was on their way to record for Satellite on March 5, 2001. They were held up in traffic and discovered that the reason was a mass shooting at Santana High School, where a fifteen-year-old student killed two and wounded thirteen.

The Offspring - Gone Away 1997

"Gone Away" is a song by American rockband the Offspring. Written by the band's singer, Dexter Holland, it was released as the second single from the band's fourth studio album, Ixnay on the Hombre (1997). "Gone Away" was the most successful single off of Ixnay on the Hombre, making it to #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks and #4 on the Modern Rock Tracks.

This song has helped many Offspring fans cope with loss. Holland told Kerrang!: "I get some letters from people saying how much 'Gone Away' - which is about losing someone - means to them, from parents who have written to me to say that it helped them get over the loss of their son who died from leukemia. It rips your heart out."

Holland started doing this song during the Offspring's gigs solo on the piano. "A rock show can feel like bam bam bam, and we wanted to take a minute in the middle of the set to let everyone breathe. Sit down for a minute, stop screaming." Holland noticed his acoustic rendition was connecting live. As he was also getting numerous supportive messages on social media, he decided to record a piano and strings version for their 2021 album Let The Bad Times Roll. "It makes it feel different in a way I think is cool. It was weird recording it; I'm so used to weird, loud, messy guitars that cover up all your imperfections, and it felt pretty vulnerable, quite frankly."

"Gone Away" received a total of 76,3% yes votes!
