1. Find The Real
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcYOS4btnmE Metallica had Hit The Lights, Guns n' Roses had Welcome to the Jungle, Bon Jovi had Runaway - and Alter Bridge have Find the Real. Easily revisit-able today as it was back in 2004, there's just something about that chorus that's timeless, not to mention the energy across its runtime is infectious as hell. Lyrics "I wanna love, I wanna feel, find peace, find the real" are damn-near tattoo-worthy (a trait all their songs share, to be honest), and it's a statement of intent that you can look back on as something they followed up on in every respect. Why you need it: Every fan of an artist needs their first material, that very first song that the band believed should introduce them to the world. A thunderous Sabbath-style riff kicks everything off, before Myles' vocal performance features one of his most sonically-appealing high notes, Tremonti's solo is one hell of an identity declaration for everything he was going to attempt later, and all-round you can feel the beginnings of the band giving it their all in every second.
