\u201cNothing Else Matters\u201d \u2014 Metallica<\/p>\n

Metallica isn\u2019t a band that would be accused of sounding pretty. If anything, their merit is how rough-around-the-edges they can make their legendary brand of hard rock. However, one of their top hits, \u201cNothing Else Matters,\u201d is a stunningly beautiful song.<\/p>\n

The many cross-genre covers of this song prove its universality. Pop artists have tried their hand at this metal track, as have rockers who are typically less hard-edged. James Hetfield takes his powerhouse vocals and dampens them to the point that we can almost describe them as tender. This song stands singular amongst the rest of Metallica\u2019s music, which is likely why it did so well in the first place.<\/p>\n

\u201cDream On\u201d \u2014 Aerosmith<\/p>\n

Steven Tyler\u2019s vocals are like a punch to the gut. Even in his most subtle song, his vocals come through strong. \u201cDream On\u201d is more power than it is ballad, but it still earns a rightful place on this list. Tyler\u2019s vocals start out as intimate as he can get them, only to explode into his usual fare in the chorus.<\/p>\n

Though Tyler is up to his usual tricks in this song, his voice is used in a way that makes this one of Aerosmith\u2019s most stunning efforts. The slow-burning nature of \u201cDream On\u201d is a stunning pursuit in making hard rock feel beautiful and tender.<\/p>\n

\u201cLove Of My Life\u201d \u2014 Queen<\/p>\n

Like Tyler, Freddie Mercury\u2019s vocals were anything but subtle. The Queen frontman never pulled back an inch before full throttle. But even with his unparalleled power considered, \u201cLove Of My Life\u201d is a beautiful song that somehow makes that power feel intimate.<\/p>\n

Mercury brought the listener into his heart in this iconic ballad, proving he was not a one-trick pony. A new Queen fan who has only heard \u201cBohemian Rhapsody\u201d or \u201cKiller Queen\u201d might be surprised to learn that this song comes from Mercury. But once they are acquainted with it, the diversity of his talent becomes quite clear.<\/p>\n
