Song: "For Whom the Bell Tolls" by Metallica
Nominated by: Cubs Fan
Date: November 21, 2016
Reason: With lyrics inspired by the Ernest Hemingway novel of the same name, the third track from Ride the Lightning is becoming one of my faves. I first got into it through an MLB ad (see it here) in which Oakland A's pitcher Sean Doolittle, who uses the song as his entrance music, throws pitches at a bell set up at home plate in an attempt to duplicate the sound of the opening bell toll. Though I've never really been into thrash metal, Metallica does it in a way that I can find bearable.
