Origin/Composer: Metallica / Michael Kamen, from the album S&M
Year: 2001
It’s ear-splittingly loud San Francisco Symphony. It’s classy Metallica. It’s…S&M! A playful reference to sadomachistic sex, the album S&M is an amazing fusion of one of the most respected and skilled symphonies in the world and one of the most skilled rock bands in the last two decades. All the classical parts were composed by legendary composer and conductor Michael Kamen, and conducted by him as well. The combination may seem crazy, but hear it once, and you will find that it is amazingly harmonious and musically complex.
