Need Suggestions, Please Look Inside Options

[Zarrexaij]

I'm forming a list of songs that I need to find tabs of so I can start practicing. I want to form a band and eventually play at the Battle of the Bands thing here in the spring. I want you all to suggest some rock and metal songs... there are some bands I will simply not play:

Anything "emo" (you know exactly what I mean)
Evanescence
Hinder
Staind
Nickleback
"Classic" rock such as ACDC and Led Zep (everyone's done it)

Suggest Free Bird or Stairway and, congratulations, you are the 1,000,000,000th butthead to suggest that.

Anything else is pretty much fair game. I've already decided on "Enter Sandman" by Metallica. I'm pretty much open to any suggestions, other than what I listed. I probably forgot some, too.

Remember, they have to be "school appropriate" songs. There are some editted versions we could easily play (such as the editted version of Sober- no bleeping, only replaced a few key words).

Audioslave is often mentioned and described by many as 'mixture of Soundgarden and R.A.T.M.', due to the fact it has members of those 2 bands. Truth is, Audioslave is a whole new sound, closer to original hard rock, but also with a heavy socio-political note at times ["Broken city", "Sound of a gun"]. In short, Audioslave is ++gud.

Audioslave songs I warmly recommend:

Revelations [a MUST, if no other, because of the riffs and great lyrics]
Original fire
One and the same
Your time has come
Be yourself
Man or animal [angry, loud, rapid, perfect]
Dandelion [warm, loud, slow, perfect]


Edit: out of bands whose entire work might not be familiar to you, I've chosen some well known singles

Faith no more - Epic [I know, everyone's done it, but damn that song is good]
Faith no more - Midlife crisis [strains the voice a bit though, this one]
Beastie Boys - Time for living [no comment needed, classy]
Sepultura - Slave new world [nice, simple text]
Sepultura - Roots Bloody Roots [Get. It. Now.]

I'm gonna retire back here and make Red Hot Chili Peppers suggestions list in the meantime. Expect older stuff.

edit: MEH. Forget about "Mother's Milk" and "B.S.S.M." :/ it'll all be "Californication":

Parallel Universe [loud, ripping, perfect]
Otherside
Get on top
Easily
