10 Rock Songs That Don't Sound Like The Artists Who Made Them

My Chemical Romance's The Black Parade defined what it was to be emo in the mid-2000s, and has lived on as a cornerstone record in what might most accurately be considered the third-wave of the genre (and the one that is still most closely associated with the term).

A grand rock opera, The Black Parade moves through stages of life, death and suffering, loosely following a central character -- The Patient -- on this journey before the titular parade marches him off to whatever comes next. However, tacked on at the end of the album, and separated from it by some minute-and-a-half's silence, is a strange little ditty that fits neither the narrative nor the band's style.

The hidden track of hidden tracks, Blood diverts from both the band's on-record sound and anything they had done previously or have done since, leading with a jaunty, vaudevillian style that props up its tongue-in-cheek lyrics and vocal delivery from singer Gerard Way. The lyrics are a gentle reprimand to the band's frequently feral fanbase, scolding the bloodthirsty obsession that the band could never give enough of themselves to sate.
