What have we here? another mix, we've now completed a year's worth! BOOOSH! This bad boy is all over the map but has some nice links. If you can figure them out then you get a cookie!
1. Living in America by The Sounds
Definitely not a James brown cover. I wish I discovered this band back in the early part of the 00s rather than several years past.2. Drive by R.E.M.
How do you follow up the biggest album of your career? You release a slow, creepy ballad with strings. This song came out when R.E.M. still mattered.
3. The Passenger by Iggy Pop
I liked the Siouxie Sioux cover more but Iggy's still the king.
4. Good Thing by Fine Young Cannibals
This band got so big in 89 and then broke up. This was a cool Mo Town tribute that resulted in their best tune.
5. Ever Fallen In Love by Nouvelle Vague
The little lounge act covers the Buzzcocks
6. Beetlebum by Blur
Was this song about addiction or making fun of Oasis? I still don't know
7. Help! by The Beatles
The beginning of this song is great and then it wusses down but whatever.
8. Champagne Supernova by Oasis
More Beatles sounds by bands who made it big in the 90s! This song was huge for Oasis, creatig a third ht from What's the Story Morning Glory.
9. Permanent Vacation by Aerosmith
Getting clean for rockers usually results in a crappy product but for Aerosmith it was a rebirth in to millions and millions of dollars.
10.Dudly by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Kind of sounds like a lullaby
11. Bucket by Kings of Leon
This is the same band that blew up on their next album. Whoever produced them next was really ambitious. Anyway this song is little more than a put down song.
12.Wishing Well by Terence Trent D'arby
This song gave whistlers a lot of excitement. D'Arby was supposed to be the next great R&B performer but it was said his ego got in the way.
13.Tusk by Clinic
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person who likes this band or has even heard of them. This songs rocks more than most of their music.
14.Tom's Diner by Suzanne Vega & DNA
So a DJ took an a capella song and added beats and a few synth hits; it's great.
15.Reptilia by The Strokes
This is a disappointing follow up to the Strokes first Album but it was still alright.
16.I Want You So Hard (Boys Bad News) by Eagles of Death metal
If nothing else it's funny
17.This train Don't stop There Anymore by Elton John
If you told me that I would be a fan of an Elton John song that came out after 1983 I would be skeptical but this song is like something that was dropped by the side of the yellow brick road.
The video is pretty cool too. Justin Timberlake makes a convincing Elton and it speaks volumes to his entertainment savvy
18.Subterranean Homesick Blues by Bob Dylan
Is this my favorite Dylan song? I guess so.
19.Cross Road Blues by Robert Johnson
Ladies and gentlemen I give you the birth of the blues and a blues legend.
20.Judas Rising by Judas Priest
I am constantly stunned that song came out in 1976; it is so ferocious and huge it could go head to head with anything put out today.
21. Pigs In Zen by Jane's Addiction
What is this song about? No clue but it has a great part at the end that hip rocker kids used to use as their answering machine's outgoing message.
this mix is everywhere!
