In 11th place it's Tusk with Metallica - To Live is To Die
Despite being a bit Metallica fan I think this track was waiting for some lyrics to kick - brilliant music but didn't hit the right note for me (see what I did there)

I'll give people a chance to digest the above and apologies for rattling through it so quickly
There are two songs left to grade
fixXxer with Nobou Uematsu - One Winged Angel
and Greenspurs with John Butler - Ocean
I'll be back to announce once I do up the league table and work out how to format it in BBCode 0 -

In 3rd place it's Mustang Shelly with Mozart - requiem for a dream
Very distinctive start - must be used in something I've watched - very enjoyable and a good tempo throughout
This confused me!
It was going to be my entry, but it's Lux Aeterna by Clint Mansell. Written for the film Requiem For A Dream and adapted (as Requiem for a Tower) for the trailers for LOTR:The Two Towers
It's very high on my list of favourite pieces of music and the Mozart reference really threw me... a quick Google there and I think it's wrong, I'm pretty sure it's Clint Mansell still
Cracking tune

In 9th place we have Also Starring LeVar Burton with Kila - Double Knuckle Shuffle
Really didn't like the start of this but around 1 minute 30 seconds in it grew on me and I started to enjoy it - Might have done better without as much repetitive flute at the start which isn't my favourite instrument
They say someone who isn't a fan of the sound of a flute is someone who is missing part of their soul... or else I just made that up.
Always knew this would be a bit of gamble, as with most instrumentals they're far superior if you see them live, and some of that magic is lost when listened to at home.
I'll gladly take 9th place though, keeps me in joined second for now.0 -

Yeah, only in the last few days found out that it's not Mozart but Clint Mansel. I've had that tune downloaded to an mp3 player for donkeys years and it was accredited to Mozart.0 -

Brilliant choice
I remember chasing my tail trying to find out who it was when The Two Towers came out, it's obviously got a bit mixed up out there. That's why I know such much about it, I'm not normally like this
I once saw The Kronos Quartet do it live, their version is incredible. It's off kilter, slightly out of tune in places (I think deliberately so!) and really creepy. You may hate it, you may love it...

Phew. I thought maybe this was one I looked up the YouTube link for myself and got it wrong!

In fairness when I heard the first minute I had it 14th but it is did grow on me and once it gets going it's enjoyable.
Still plenty to play for - currently on listen 3 for the acoustic songs so will be judging those soon 0 -

I really can't emphasise enough how much I loved John Butler Trio - Ocean though. It is an amazing piece of music

If your foot isn't tapping while watching that, I think you are dead !!
Its a stunning piece of work, played like a master !
I love it …. every single time I watch it.

Didn't that feature in Requiem for a Dream? Many moons since I've seen.0 -

Yep I feel the exact same - just an unbelievable piece of music. I didn't know a guitar on it's own could produce something like that!0
