Radiohead - Paranoid Android

Radiohead... one of the most remarkable bands of the last 20 years. They need no introduction. Very alternative, very experimental, very eclectic... very epic. "Paranoid Android" is just one of it's best tunes.

Metallica - One/Johnny Got His Gun

Metallica is a band that needs no introduction. Their name says it all, it's pure Metal (mostly their early works) and they might very well be one of the most influential bands of all time. The song "One" was inspired by "Johhny Got His Gun", an anti-war novel which later had a film adaptation, in 1971.
Here is the official vídeo:




And also, here is the cinematographic adaptation for "Johnny Got His Gun" (yes, the whole film):

Steven Wilson - Remainder The Black Dog

Steven Wilson is surely one of today's most active musicians. Besides fronting Porcupine Tree, he also dedicates time to his many projects such as No-Man, Blackfield, Bass Communion, and most recently, Storm Corrosion (a duo with his friend Mikael Akerfeldt, Opeth's lead singer and guitarist). He is also a producer and maintains a solo career, having released two albums under his name. The most recent, "Grace For Drowning", has been considered one of last year's finest albums. And "Remainder The Black Dog" is one of it's most stunning tracks.
Here is the official vídeo, directed by Lasse Hoile:

One of Emir Kusturica's masterpieces. The Serbian filmmaker delivers an hilarious and almost chaotic comedy about two lovers and their struggle to be together.
