Awesome Short Songs (1 Viewer)

[technicaldifficulties]

I was going through my music collection tonight, listening to random stuff. I love The Last Caress by Metallica, but really only the first part of the song. That's only like 1:30. Later, I ran across Fortunate Son, by CCR. This one clocks in at 2:14. Both songs, awesome; both songs, shorter than the 3 minutes that used to be standard.

What are other good, short songs?

Just about every track on Reign in Blood meets the criteria of awesome and shorter than 3 minutes

I don't understand how you can like Metallicas version better than the original by the Misfits. You knew that was a cover, right?

Me too. On my stoner mixed tape back in the day I put Part 1and Part 2 back to back and blew my friends minds.
