There is a lot of energy on this bad boy including some very danceable Destiny's Child and Ian Brown the singer of the Stone Roses going solo. Please welcome Mötley Crüe to the world of mixes. This mix will get your blood going fast and can make teenagers angry. Enjoy!
1. Bad Reputation by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
I adore this song, it is so full of young attitude and cool. Joan Jett had bigger hits but this one remains my favorite. I always want to give people the finger when I hear it. Another thing, I don't think she's aged a day.
2. Too Fast For Love by Mötley Crüe
Before they were fat, rich and undead the Crüe were a tough bunch of assholes who could barely make it on stage. Too Fast For Love I believe was their first single and though it was never a hit it was damn good! Reminds me of the girls i would chase when I was sixteen.
3. Good Vibrations by The Beach Boys
Theremin! This song is great and if you don't feel the power you can have your Little Deuce Coup and leave!
4. Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen
One of the greatest, most epic rock songs ever! Over the the top in every way, Queen set the bar with this classic. When the guitars kick in it is irresistible, you must bob your head!
5. Going To California by Led Zeppelin
I kind of want to cry every time I hear this song song as it reminds me of the optimism I felt when I moved to California but also has a heartbreak in it that reminds me my own lost dreams.
6. Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Sexiest song ever? I don't know for sure but it is great soulful stuff. Rest In Peace Marvin
7. Jumpin' Jumpin' by Destiny's Child
This was a hot jam when I made this mix way back in the day. Before Beoncé was the mega star she is now she was part of the girl group.
8. The Real Slim Shady by Eminem
This is when Marshal Mathers blew up! He was that obnoxious, bleach blond, white rapper until this song dropped. Then he was enormous.
9. Heart of Glass by Blondie
From one blonde to another. From punk to disco the New York band were the coolest of the cool and one of the most accessible acts of the era. The hot lead singer didn't hurt either.
10.Girls & Boys by Blur
From one band that started as pop that went disco to another. Girls & and Boys is a funny, groovy dance song about Brits on hedonistic holiday.
11.You Really Got Me by Van Halen
The original Kins version was a rocker, the Van Halen version was insane! Anybody who's loved guitars has loved this song.
12.Remedy by The Black Crows
This is the song that made feel that the Black Crows weren't total wankers. It's sexy, rough and soulful Southern rock from the early 1990s
13. Whatever by Godsmack
This song gets worse with age. It's sort of a funky Nu Metal but it really isn't.
14. Natural Blues by Moby
Moby made all his money from the album, Play. He made a lot of cash selling the rights to his songs to big companies to use in their commercials which he claims he used the pay check to give to organizations that fought against those big companies.
15. Love Like A Fountain (U.S. Version) by Ian Brown
The singer of the Stone Roses got some phat beats and grooves for this album. I find this song was the best effort from, Golden Greats.
16. Big Time Sensuality by Björk
Big time! Bjork needed us to know that she liked to dance and had some inkling to be a disco diva at the time. Now she barely makes what can be called music. I miss the old Björk.
17.London Calling by The Clash
Anger and fury on how shitty 1970s England was. Militaristic in sound this song was like a call to arms to get aware of the shite around us.
18.Here Comes Your Man by Pixies
Kind of a classic, kind of a simple little pop song but for whatever reason this was the beginning of a sea change in the perception of what was cool in music.
19.Gotta Stop by The Lemonheads
Short and sweet punk. Good way to end the mix.
