Weekly Mix tap 49

Let's here it for 2006! I recall it being a darn good year for some thijngs and crumby year for other things. This mix was birthed that year but there are only a few songs that represent it.

1. I Only Want You by Eagles of Death Metal

The almost rocked but there was something a little too silly about them.

2. Yankee Rose by David Lee Roth

This was it for Diamond Dave, after this song he went flaccid.

3. Time Warp from the Rocky Horror Picture Show

This one goes out to all you freaks! One of my favorite show tunes.

4. Rock n' Roll by The Sounds

Scandinavian pop rock

5. Da Ya Think I' Sexy? by Rod Stewart

See even Rod, "the bod" was self conscious

6. My Humps by Black Eyed Peas

Little children sang this song; that's how huge it was! So wrong . . .

7. If You Could Read My Mind by Gorden Lightfoot

This song reminds me of introspective moments with dude friends

8. I Put A Spell On You by Creedence Clearwater Revival

This is my favorite version of this song

9. Stir It Up by Bob Marley & The Wailers

I have nothing to say about ragae

10.Everybody's Talkin' by Harry Nilsson

Yup, this one's from Midnight Cowboy

11.I Get Along by The Libertines

I think this qualifies as a little ditty

12.Y Control by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

chicks love this song

13.I Still Want you by the Del Feugos

Troubled hearts by the Boston Harbor

14.Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved me by Grant Lee Phillips

So sad and it goes well after another sad song. GLF covered the Smiths in a more personal tone here.

15.Rain On The Scarecrow by John Mellencamp

Give it up for Farm Aid

16.Painkiller by Judas Priest

A rocker about a motorcycle!

17.Run To The Hills by Iron Maiden

If you know one iron Maiden song this is probably it. the English really sick it to the American settlers in this one. Let's welcome them to my world of mixes!

18.Assassin by Muse

Really channeling Queen in this one

19. All Apologies by Nirvana

What else can I say?

C'mon Dave, Give me a break

Diamond David Lee Roth is 56 today, happy birthday to one of the great front men and mad men of Rock n' Roll! He swings from cables, does back flips, round house kicks, jumping splits, howls and croons; it doesn't get much better. Beginning in the 70s he helped but a face on California hard rock with Van Halen bringing more bombast and sex appeal than anybody ever wanted

Top Five Front Men

They strut, stumble and stomp around! The bands front man and singer typically makes the biggest connection with the audience getting them riled up and excited by saying ridiculous things and shaking his money maker. Top five front men; these guys are copied and emulated by just abut everyone.
1. Jim Morrison
Public drunkenness and indecent exposure aside he was a true, timeless rock star
2. Steven Tyler
Brought us scarves and Attitude
3. Mick Jagger
The strut and finger wag are just a couple of his moves that are instantly recognizable
4.David Lee Roth
Karate kickin' coke head band leader
5. Freddy Mercury
The greatest Showmen of them all!
