I think what makes that song so great is that, for one thing its not terribly far-fetched, and secondly that it doesn't take many players to pull it off.

I remember on one of those terrible VH1 lists of the top metal songs, they had either Green Day or Nirvana listed somewhere on there, and Dee Snider said something like (i could have all of this wrong) "I liked that they trimmed the fat" referring to the fact there were only 3 of them.

Why it matters to me that only a few people make that escapes me, but I think its that so few of them can make such an environment with such little resources.
