Favorite drop C songs?

[7stringDemon]

Is it weird that I actually hate Drop C? I mean, I actually hate the sound of the note.

That being said, I was told that The Faceless plays in C so that'll be my vote. Anything by The Faceless.

Aren't VoM all in drop B? To my understanding they are, but no doubt that album was pretty boss

the tab for that song is in drop C for some reason. Dunno how VoM actually play it, I assume Drop B like the rest of their songs.

Mors Subita - The Sermon
That intro riff is sick!

C is one of the most common keys in music, so that means listening to music must suck pretty bad for you.

The thing that metal guitarists often overlook is that being in a certain tuning does not necessarily dictate what key to play. General metal logic tends to dictate the key to whatever the lowest string is tuned to. It's a misconception and comfort zone that guitarists need to get out of more often.

To requote some of my favorite examples:

Those three songs aren't in the key of C.

Rob Halford's Fight also had several songs in C!!

This is something I have a hard time with myself, but with E instead of C because I play mainly in standard.

But I wasn't just referring to metal, C is super common in a lot of music.

Anything by Misery Signals, I spent years transcribing those records and they opened my eyes to myriad of interesting ideas.
The songwriting in Mirrors alone is stellar.

Any Dethklok song. Except for Thunderhorse and Duncan Hills Coffee Jingle.

The majority of Dethklok songs are in C Standard, not drop C. The Coffee Jingle is in Drop D.

Oh shit, that's what I meant.
