Album  ----  Tenacious D (2001)

Background: Tenacious D is an American rock band that was formed in Los Angeles, California in 1994. Composed of lead vocalist and guitarist Jack Black (the well-known actor) and lead guitarist and vocalist Kyle Gass, the band has released two albums – Tenacious D (2001) and The Pick of Destiny (2006). The debut album peaked at number thirty-three on the Billboard 200. While Tenacious D usually appears as a duo, the album was backed by a full band, According to Black, they chose to use a band because "no one's ever heard us with a band". The first single from the album was "Tribute"—a tribute to the "greatest song in the world" which, in the song, Tenacious D claimed they had performed in order to save their souls from a demon. The video for this song achieved success and was voted the fifth best music video ever by Kerrang! readers.

Trivia: Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters plays drums and guitar on this album.

My two cents: What can you say about the greatest song in the world? Those of you who don't know "The D" definitely missed something. In my opinion, Jack Black is better in making music than acting, he unifies comedy and rock 'n' roll attitude in his person. The best movies featuring him are the ones where he can play music, like "The Pick of Destiny" and "School of Rock". I always need to laugh when listening to them and I really like the mixture of simple acoustic guitars, hard rock attitude and friendship of two fat men.
