Song title: Boom!
Artist: System of a Down
Year: 2002
Why I like this song:
System of a Down has always been a puzzlement to me. Twenty years ago, when Chop Suey! descended from up on high, i could not, for the life of me, understand why people where losing their minds over it. Mind you, I'm the guy who couldn't understand why people were losing their minds of Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit (and still don't) so what would I know?
Still, I do single this song out as my favorite from System of Down. It's angry, it's a rant and half and, as an anti-war song, it's damn effective.
Having said that though, i am well aware I championing System of a Down's most direct lyrical statement. In which case, the point isn't lost on me.
