Inspired by a random chat I had at work last week, I'm curious to know what Tildes makes of this (admittedly slightly daft) hypothetical!
Doesn't necessarily have to be war, could be a fist fight, music for killing demons, etc. Anything that makes you feel like a badass.
It's cheesy as hell but Hells Bells by AC/DC has gotta be top of my list.

I have a couple iTunes libraries, and one of them contains every song I have ever collected. I decided to load it up on one of my flash modded iPods a few days ago, shuffling, and having some fun listening to music I haven't listened to in a long time.
I was about 25 songs in when the autotuned mess of Untitled by The Title came on and a wave of nostalgia and disgust washed over me.
It's so terrible, I can't believe I used to listen to the album on repeat, but it tickled my brain the same way it did when I was 12.
Any nostalgic cringe songs you've been listening to? Or what are your guilty pleasures songs?
It can be a silly song once in a blue moon or one you'd still listen daily. No one can say no to Rasputin's disco groove.
What's a song lyric that has recently jumped out at you, caught your attention, resonated, or made you think?
This doesn't have to be a favorite/best of all time topic, though feel free to post those if they speak to you. I'm more interested in something you encountered recently that you really like, appreciate, or find interesting, for whatever reason.
Top level comments should fill in the blank with some sort of descriptor identifying a kind of song you would like suggestions for. Be as generic or specific as you want.
Replies can then recommend songs to that individual.

I thought it might be cool to get a random slice of people's music libraries, musical knowledge, and how they relate to songs that aren't necessarily standouts or favorites. Don't worry about the five tracks being a representative sample of your tastes or anything--I just think it's a fun exercise!
Also, if you get a bad list of five, it's okay to re-roll.
This week let's share some of those favorite tracks that you don't usually advertise to other people - the guilty pleasures. The ones that tend to make music critics and other music lovers cringe, and garner raised eyebrows from your friends and family. We've all got them hiding in our playlists.
Thanks @ainar-g for the topic suggestion. Feel free to suggest topics for upcoming threads in the comments, and happy listening. :)
