There's something about a song that's just blatantly about its own awesomeness that I can't help but admire.

That's a great way to phrase it! I think In the End (my personal fave) is like that, too. Also, thanks for reminding me; I need to go through KISS's and Queen's discographies. Especially KISS, since my aunt used to sign all her correspondence as Mrs. Paul Stanley. (Didn't realize it until recently, but the Fangirl Gene is strong in my family.)
