Avenged Sevenfold
Avenged Sevenfold is the band Avenged Sevenfold’s 5th album, and is obviously self-titled. It is a great album with very little screaming, and extremely skillful guitar solos.

Nine Inch Nails - Down In It (Music Video)

Inner City Blues (song, Marvin Gaye)

Stone Temple Pilots - Atlanta (song)
Atlanta is the closing track on Stone Temple Pilots album No. 4. I find this song to be comfortably soothing, and a suitable song to close an excellent album with. The song starts off very simple but becomes more and more layered as it progresses on.
