- Nominated by 205.175.113.36.

May 17, 2012: N.I.B. by Black Sabbath
- Nominated by Cubs Fan.
- Featuring one of the coolest riffs from Black Sabbath, the third track from Sabbath's debut album isn't necessarily an obscure track, but it's not as well-known as some of their other hits. Bass guitar solos aren't common, but Geezer Butler definitely pulls it off in the first few minutes.

May 03, 2012: The Kingdom by Jesca Hoop
- Nominated by 24.10.133.100.
- With war in the high desert and spiritual warfare being declared by the New Apostolic Reformation (Sarah Palin & Rick Perry are affiliated), with their eye on the U.S.'s democratic government, with theocracy in their hearts, this song's reminder that "The Kingdom can never be won" is pretty relevant. "Let go of the Earth." Terrorize it (and yourselves) no more. Let there be peace.
