Known best for how dedicated he is to headbanging, party-rocker Andrew W.K. takes a moment to talk about why Bach resonates with him.

Headbanging rocker Andrew W.K., whose songs include "Party Hard," "It's Time to Party" and "Party 'Til You Puke," thinks the music of Johann Sebastian Bach stands among humankind's greatest accomplishments.
Listening to this piece by Bach reminds me that all music is valid.
