Weekly Mix #85

Made in the heart of 2011 I got pretty current with the songs on here, maybe too much emphases on the modern rock and not enough classic stuff but whatever it's good stuff.
Now try this, you can listen to the mix from here



1. Planetary (GO!) by My Chemical Romance

More music that apparently only me andn13 year old goth chicks like!

2. Abducted by The Cults
This is what college kids listen to, or so I hear. I like this one better than Go Outside.
3. Ages of you by R.E.M.

Good time 80's college music or indie music or alternative music or whatever, here we go!

4. Left OF The Dial by The Replacements

REM's Minnesota counterparts in critical darlinghood. This song is all about bands who weren't main stream

5. Nodding Off by Wavves (feat. Best Coast)
"I wanna' meet Dave Grohl, I wanna be Dave Grohl" Yeah well who the hell doesn't! Guess what band's next!
6. I'll Stick Around by Foo Fighters

You believe they've been around for sixteen years? This is off their first album

7. Wild Boys by Duran Duran

When this song I liked it because of the driving beat and and the sliding/whiny vocals; it was why a good friend of mine hated the song. The video is . . . well you be the judge.

8. Dance With Somebody by Mando Diao

This is not the Whitney Houston  song about being tired of one night stands this is Swedish awesome music that shares that Duran Duran spirit I think.

9. Relax by Frankie Goes To Hollywood

I had no idea they were gay, all the girls in the video seemed to love so much!

10.Lazy Bones by Wooden Ships
I don't know if this song rocks or it's just silly
11.Endless Blue by The Horrors

This is from their newest album. Why do they get more and more ethereal and weird, what happened to their creepy nervous angst and rocking spirit?

12.Summer of '89 by Butch Walker and The Black Widows

This song is actually pretty dumb but it's funny and feel good rock so it gets on the mix. Also because I quite enjoyed 1989.

13. Hey Ladies by the Beastie Boys

Yup, from 1989's masterpiece, Paul's Boutique. Okay, I don't know if that's a step too far but the album m did shake asses and get sampling into the next level.

14.No Church in the Wild by Kanye West and Jay-Z

A good beat goes a long way, y'all! I really like some of the songs on Watch The Throne. I don't think it's my favorite album of the year but it's definitely in the top 5! "Your Love is my scripture" That's some cool ass lyrics.

15.Apple Blossom by The White Stripes

On the other side of things this is just a man and his guitar.

16.Maggie M'Gill by The Doors

I used to not care for this sing, thought it was dumb but now I enjoy the bluesiness of it and like to get it on just like the people Tangie Town.

17.Irresistible Forse by Jane's Addiction

Welcome back boys, welcome back with a song that's not great but enjoyable on some level of unoffensive.

18.Olé by Pearl Jam

I like when old bands can keep their energy up. This is a new 2011 song by the old boys that I find quite cool.

19.Silver by Nirvana

I don't know if you can have one without the other. Peral Jam without Nirvana is like The Beatles without the Stones, sort of.

20.Mama, I'm Coming Home by Ozzy Osbourne
and you can't have grunge without metal. This is a great, big stupid sing along that Lemmy of Motothead wrote.

Weekly Mix #62

As a reminder these Mixes are all 80 minutes or less to fit on a CD. That notion is sort of old school I guess but how else would one person gift another person a play list; I suppose you could gift each song to somebody but that's weird. I'm sure people who are much more savvy than I have better ways of sharing music but I'm just a simple dude who is always in the dark about tech stuff.
Anyhow this mix is another  2009 ensemble; it's was a little weak and tossed together when I first made it but I eventually went back and moved around some of the songs to be more cohesive and flow better. The newest songs on the mix are certainly not the big hits from the year though it seems that I know knew them best from their placement in television adds. That's sad when I hear the newest music in car and cellphone commercials instead of the radio or whatever.

1. Dead And Bloated by Stone Temple Pilots
The more time that passes the more I realize that Core is a classic album of it's era up there with Nevermind, Dirt and Ten. This is how that album started and this is how this mix starts!
2. Bag It Up by Oasis
A stomping, plodding rocker, not bad but not good enough to get them back to their supersrar status of the mid 90s.
3. You Make Loving Fun by Fleetwood Mac
Groovy seventies hits for all! Christine McVie on vocals.
4. Foundations by Kate Nash

One relationship ditty deserves another. This is a funny and sad breakup song or at least it wants to be a breakup song which is what makes it sad.

5. Thank You Boys by Jane's Addiction
The band that defined alternative rock gets a little jazzy
6. Take Five by Dave Brubeck
West coast jazz at it's most popular
7.  It was a Good Day by Ice Cube

From West Coast Jazz to West Side Rap. Maybe the best song on the mix and definitely Ice Cubes best tune. I'm not gonna lie if i had a day this this I'd want to rap about it too.

8. Two Weeks by Grizzly Bear
This song was in several commercials throughout the year. The album Veckatimest is named after an island off the coast of Massachusetts.
9. Hippi Luv by The Wolfmen
From bears to wolves. Groovy big tune that I've never heard anywhere but my stereo.
10.Bus Stop by The Hollies

The original Manchester band. This is a great melody and a nice little love song!

11.Time Has Come Again by The Last Shadow Puppets
This song should have been on the last mix but here it is in it's echoes and mope
12.Black Grease by The Black Angels

Groovy Sixties inspired rock from England. Welcome to the mixes guys!

13.Iron Man by Black Sabbath

More Black bands without black members. This song is brutal. It is about war and revenge and all things metal. If you put your trust in war it will kill ya'! Best part of the song is when the Iron Man start laying waste to the people who once relied on him for protection but then shunned him for his wickedness. "Heavy boots of Lead"

14.I Cut Like  a Buffalo by The Dead Weather

Jack White is back with another band, gone are the White Stripes, gone are the Raconteurs. This is a stoner's dream.

15.Count In Fives by The Horrors

because organ can be so cool when done right, hers' another tune that exploits the instrument's awesomeness. Another excellent tune from the Strange House album.

16.Dead End Friends by Them Crooked Vultures
John Paul Jones is back and playing with Dave Grohl and Josh Holme. I was a bit let down by this project but this song has grown on me.
17.Youth Gone Wild by Skid Row

One of the last glam metal bands of the eighties to get big, Skid Row's anthem was this number. I think the singer, Sebastian Bach even tattooed it on his arm.

18.Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler
Some lush always sings this song at Karaoke bars. If you were a child of the eighties you may recall the unusual video here's the version that will clear the whole thing up. (Click me) 
19.On My Way by Billy Boy On Poison

This song was used in some commercials for cold medicine I think. It's a cool rock song with blues lyrics

20.They're Red Hot by The Red Hot Chili Peppers
Covering Robert Johnson and covering it very fast. It's cute I suppose.
21.Let It All Hang Out by The Nails

Covering the Hombres, The Nails do a good job with this one and make them more than the band that did 88 Line about 44 Women

Weekly Mix #54

The first mix of 2007! Lordy be! What does that mean? I don't really know but I can say this, don't fear it. Listen and enjoy the music.


1. Superhero by Jane's Addiction
It wasn't really thirteen years in the making but it was thirteen years between Ritual De Lo Habitual and Strays. The band that spearheaded the Alternative Rock movement in the early 90s seemed to forget everything they did and went bland. If nothing else this is the intro to the show Entourage.
2. Elegantly Wasted by INXS

The last Michael Hutchence INXS album. Obviously there's nothing one can read into these lyrics and dance beat.

3. Fergalicious by Fergie
This is what happens when I stop being a music snob; i listen to this stuff
4. Show Me What you Got by Jay-Z
Jay- Z is the man
5. Aqua Teen Hunger Force Theme by Schooly D
This is for all those who watch Adult Swim
6. Random by Lady Sovereign
She's got the tongue and the rhymes
7. Walking Spanish by Tom Waits

Walking Spanish is a term that means you're being walked to your death.

8. Wolf Like Me by TV In the Radio

This band had this one incredible song and then some other stuff that wasn't in competition.

9. Raw Power by Iggy & The Stooges
I feel it!
10.The Metal by Tenacious D
This song is fairly accurate. Jack Blacks band is this.
11.Wanted Dead Or Alive by Bon Jovi

Have you seen a million faces? Have you rocked them all? Probably not. This is the first time I showed any favor towards the New Jersey band, until this point my stance was that they were hair and smiles.

12.Burner by Motötrhead
Mötorhead doing what they do best. They play loud and fast! This is also the first 2007 song on a mix.
13.(Reach Up for The) Sunrise by Duran Duran
I first heard this tune in Italy and I expected it to be a huge hit in the states when I returned but I was very wrong, radio didn't care.
14.Tony the Beat (remix) by The Sounds
Get out your keyboards and pretend it's the 80s
15.Dreaming by Blondie
Sweet melodies from a downtown New York band
16.What I Like About you by The Romantics
This is what you call a classic 
17.Psychobilly Freakout by Reverend Horton Heat
early 90s magic!
18.Great Balls of Fire by Jerry lee Lewis
They used to say he was the devil but the he married his cousin and faded away. he is still alive and making music however. The killer, I wish I could have seen him when he was young!
19.Flathead by The Fratellis
This song got more airplay in the iTunes adds than it did on the radio.
20.Young Girls by John Sartain
This song is very astute
21.Victim Of Love by The Eagles
More creepiness from The Hotel California
22.We Are The Champions by Queen
If you don't know this song you are a rock n' roll hater and a sports hater.
23.The Saints Are Coming (live) by Green Day & U2
I think all the proceeds from this song went to New Orleans; it's pretty over the top and silly.

Weekly Mix Tape #52

 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.

Weekly Mix Tape # 48

This mix isn't too inspired, there's not too much going on but it still has some good songs. Listen and enjoy.

1. Whole Latta Love by Led Zeppelin

Way down inside, you need love! If you don't like this song . . . well I just don't want to say.

2. Faster Kill Pussycat (Feat. Brittany Murphy) by Fat Boy Slim

Yes that Brittany Murphy, she could carry a tune

3. Dirt off Your Shoulder by Jay-Z

 He's the man and this is one of the reasons

4. The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I get by Morrissey

This is a stalker's anthem

5. Jane Says by Jane's Addiction

I guess this is they're biggest song, the one you hear in liquor adds

6. I Don't Care Anymore by Phil Collins

The drums, the drums! One of their best uses as more than keeping the rhythm in rock; they have a life of their own.

7. Animal / Human by Clinic

Clinic is a faceless band that makes good music

8. 10:15 Saturday Night by The Cure

Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip . . .

9. I Can't Go For That (No Can Do) By Hall & Oates

 So smooth, so nice. These guys were the kings of pop rock, soft rock.

10.Living After Midnight by Judas Priest

This is such a strange song by Priest as it's very accessible to all kinds of people

11.Life Wasted by Pearl Jam

Not bad but not great

12.Holiday In Cambodia by Dead Kennedys

I don't know why but about this point I suddenly wanted to listen to a lot of DK

13.Turn Into by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Such a sweet melody by Karen O and the boys

14.On Your Speakers by Damone

Good pop rock

15.The Drowners by Suade

Back in 1993 this was a band that people in England found very provocative do to the singers androgyny

16.Too Drunk to Fuck by Nouvelle Vague

Covering the Dead Kennedy's cabaret style.

17.Love Train by Wolfmother

A groovier kind of Wolfmother

18.Like Days by The Start

This a crazy sounding band from L.A.

19.House of Wolves by My Chemical Romance

They know how to rock and know how to be catchy

20.Frank's Wild Years by Tom Waits

tom's weird poems are often very amusing

21.Sammy Davis City by The Brian Setzer Orchestra
The man got older and started getting in big band sounds after the Stray Cats; this was my favorite tune from that era.

Weekly Mix Tape Pt 40

This weeks mix was a 2005 creation. We start with Gn'R welcoming us to the jungle and finish with Jane's tucking us in at night. In between there is a lot of classic songs and dance music.

Enjoy 

1. Welcome To The Jungle by Guns N' Roses
This is where it all began for most Americans, this where the face of rock n' roll changed for a few years until Kirk Cobain showed up. 
2. Peace Frog by The Doors
"Bloody red sun of fantastic L.A." This line confuses everybody from L.A.
3. Entertain by Sleater-Kinney
This song is loud and crazy, maybe one of my top ten songs by an all woman or woman fronted rock band.
4. Over The Hills And Far Away by Led Zeppelin
Sometimes this is the perfect Led Zeppelin song: light, playful acoustic guitar that eventually becomes loud and crunching electric
5. Ask by The Smiths
 Another wonderful song by the Smiths that could only been written in the 80s, remember, "Shyness is nice and shyness can stop you from doing all the things in life you'd like to"
6. My Doorbell by The White Stripes
 One good ditty deserves another. Some people think this is the best song from the Get Behind Me Satan album
7. Five Feet High And Rising by Johnny Cash
Songs about floods aren't common in rock or pop but here's a good one. So good De La Soul sampled it.
8. It's A Wonderful Life by Sparklehorse
It's a wonderful song, rest in peace Mark Linkous.
9. Feel Good Inc. by Gorillaz
Are your ready to dance? The Gorillaz second album was psycho trippy dance jam that was much better than it should have been
10.I Am Superman by R.E.M.
 Off the Life's Rich Pageant this was the last album R.E.M. put out before they blew up with The One I Love.
11.The God Ones by The Kills
Average and okay song but it works here
12.Technologic by Daft Punk
Because you love to boogie and you love robot voices telling you what to do.
13.Girl U Want by Devo
Were they really ahead of their time?
14.Gangsters and Thugs by Transplants
This has a good groove. Tim Armstrong's follow up band to Rancid never got huge but they had some good songs
15.Monkey Wrench by Foo Fighters
There's a lot of emotion on all these songs off The Colour and The Shape.
16.Time To Waste by Alkaline Trio
 Not much to say about this one
17. Velouria by Pixies
Remember when the Pixies were the future of rock? No?
18.Processed Beats by Kasabian
Danceable rock from the U.K.
19.Under Pressure by Queen w/David Bowie
One of the great songs of all time and THIS was one of the best performances of that song but with Annie Lennox
20.Lose Control by Missy Elliot & Fat Man Scoop
There's a lot of frenetic energy in this jam
21.Classic Girl by Jane's Addiction
When you start with an L.A. band sometimes you have to finish with an L.A. band

Weekly Mix Tape Pt 33

This one is okay but not great or maybe it's awesome, who knows? Good moments, Make It Clap transitioning into Illegal Tender as it starts with clapping . . . so clever. When I did this mix I was obsessed with Evil by Interpol; it was the only song I was listening to all the time; I think I wore it out.

1. Beware by Rockcity Mourge
Good 70s rock from a 00s band
2. Cold Hard Bitch by JET
I hate this song, I've never liked this song so think of this as filler unless you like this song then I guess you're psyched.
3. Tumbling Dice by The Rolling Stones
I didn't like this song until 2006 and then I loved it, maybe I finally got it, maybe I associate it with something awesome . . . I'm not sure.
4. Little Sister by Queens Of The Stone Age
I think this band is okay but I don't know why, I think this song is from Palm Springs
5. My Mother The War by 10,000 Maniacs
Before the hits and before your mom liked them . . .grandmother maybe?
6. Evil by Interpol
Suddenly Interpol was the best band ever, well not really but I couldn't get enough of this song; I wish I saw them live
7. Make It Clap by Busta Rhymes
IS this song about venereal disease?
8. Illegal Tender by Louis XIV
For those who love hand clapping
9. The Way You Move by Big Boi
This was the other song from Oukast's last album
10.In Da Club by 50 Cent
There's something irresistible about this tune; I can't place it. Maybe I associate it with something awesome.

Flock of Seagulls

11.I Ran (So Far Away) by A Flock of Seagulls
This is New Wave. If anybody asks play them this song
12.Fox On The Run by Sweet
Glam Rock from the 70s; I wish I was a teenager when this song was a hit. I think it would have been awesome.
13.Rock of Ages by Def Leppard
A very famous beginning. Sometimes I live this rocker and other times it makes me feel dumb.
14.Sucker Train Blues by Velvet Revolver
Continuing with the rock, lets listen to this Super group's offering
15.Breaking The Law (live) by Judas Priest
Let's break the law! This song rings true for those feeling the economic crunch
16.Club Foot by Kasabian
This is a song that I don't like but like all at once, why not?
17.Institutionalized by Suicidal Tendencies
This is a teenage anthem! Satisfaction, Fight For your Right To Party, My generation . . . all for the meek. It's punk but different. I believe they were all in the crypts which made it illegal for them to play live in Los Angeles for a while.
18.Hypersonic by Jane's Addiction
It's just not the same as used to be . . . so sad.
19.Come Away With Me by Nora Jones
She sings this song so sultry that I totally want to go away with her and that's why she won the Grammy.
20.Galvanize by The Chemical Brothers
"My finger is on the button" This song is huge in sound and gives me chills sometimes
21.Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me by U2
From the Batman and Robin movie; this was the best thing about it.

Weekly Mix Tape Pt 18

This weeks mix is rad! There are a lot of awesome tracks so rock out!

1. We Got the Beat by The Go-Go's
There first single
2. Tough Guy by The Beastie Boys
Sort of rap
3. Jaded by Aerosmith
I thought this song was so great when it came out but it has dwindled in awesomeness since.
4. It's No Good by Depeche Mode
Lounge at it's best
5. Running To Stand Still by U2
One of their 5 best songs
6. Johnny 99 by Bruce Springsteen
A song that makes me want to die
7. Life On A Chain by Pete Yorn
Before Scarlet, before the dark times
8. Beautiful Disaster by 311
311's best song eveh!
9. Outshined by Soundgarden
How can you dispute looking California but feeling Minnesota
10.Black Betty by Ram Jam
Sometimes this song is great but sometimes it sucks, the Leadbelly version is good too
11.Connected by Stereo MC's
GEt down and dance 90s style
12.Superstition by Stevie Wonder
So funky, so good!
13.Show Me your Soul by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Obvious transition
14.Let's Go Crazy by Prince
That guitar is smokin'!
15.Stop by Jane's Addiction
Greatness and their whole career in one song!
16.Hot For teacher by Van Halen
Class Dismissed!
17.Eyes Without A Face by Billy Idol
It's all about the gigolo pool!
18.3 Small Words by Josie and the Pussycats
This song is actually by Kay Hanley the singer for Letters to Cleo
19.American Girl by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
This song got better when I saw Everclear cover it live

Weekly Mix Tape Pt 6

Obviously not all mixes are created equal and this is one of the lesser ones. I would like to harvest about 60% of the songs on here and create a new mix. I guess I made this one in 1999. I hope you enjoy making attempts to listen to it.

1. Should I Stay or Should I Go by The Clash 
Amongst other things they really knew how to rock and be tough sounding even

 2. Memphis Hip Shake by The Cult
The Cult tried to be  an American band in 1987 and be more ballsy with their rock. Rick Rubin helped them jam.
3. Velvet Roof By Buffalo Tom
Not heard outside of New England, Buffalo Tom were groovy, loud band from Boston. This is my favorite rocker of theirs.

4. #1 Crush by Garbage
Is this even a song? It's as much of a song as Madonna's Justify My Love and has that same sexiness to it. You can find it on The Romeo and Juliet soundtrack.
5. Five Fathoms by Everything But The Girl
They  got into sounding like a club band after Missing was remixed by a DJ and made them a lot of money.
6. Waiting For Tonight by Jennifer Lopez
No Comment

7. Mixed Bizness by Beck
Midnight Vultures was Beck's attempt to make a dance and R&B album. Some of it worked well while other songs were just ludicrous.
8. Sex-O-Matic Venus Freak by Macy Gray
No shame sometimes makes a good song. She tells us how her man makes her behave like a porn star and it's a good thing.
9. Always on the Run by Lenny Kravitz
So god damned cool was Lenny back in the day. All the white kids wanted to be like him. Slash wrote the guitar  for this song and then played with Lenny. 

10.Got Let It Out by Oasis
Not the boys best effort but it's not in retrospect.
11.Made Of Stone by The Stone Roses
The band that was Oasis before Oasis. Only if they had toured in the States . . .
12.Verse Chorus Verse by Nirvana
The Secret track from the, No Alternative album. It's in my top ten Nirvana songs.
13.Porcelain by Moby
Moby was huge for a bout a year and this was one of the reasons why.
14.Kissing A Fool by George Michael
Smokey bars and whiskey were made for this song. This song was back when the former lead singer of Wham! was the brightest star on Mtv and his album, Faith was a genre crossing phenom.

15.Suffragette City by David Bowie
The Spiders From Mars, Ziggy Stardust, they were amazing
16.Guerilla Radio by Rage Against the Machine
I love when a band stays angry!
17.Ain't No Right by Jane's Addiction
Another example how the coolest band in the world in their prime.
18.Fire by The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Classic rock exemplified in one great song by the greatest rock guitarist ever.

Weekly Mix Tape Pt 4

This weeks mix has a some moments that are directly stolen form a mix tape I made in the late 80s, see if you can figure out which part. I really like those 3 songs together.

1. Stacked Actors by Foo Fighters
A good hate song is great, especially when it's about Courtney Love
2. Ocean Size by Jane's Addiction
This was really my first introduction to Jane's Addiction and I loved them, I thought they were amazing and they scared me. Weird, sexy and kick ass!

3. Paranoid Android by Radiohead
Some people say this was the last good album Radiohead ever did and some people say this was the end to their beginning. I don't know, they have got boring.
4. Where is My Mind by Pixies
Some bands were bigger than they were, The Pixies is one of them. They influenced everybody but never got much bigger than the Alternative music scene at the time would let them. This song is great, trippy and and real cool.
5. Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns N' Roses
Yes, this is one of the greatest rock songs of all time and if you can't accept that than you are just fool. It's tough sounding but sweet, the lyrics are nice but Axl's voice was so perfect in the late 80s there was nothing anybody could do about it.
6. The One I love by R.E.M.
I kinda' liked R.E.M. up until this point but when I heard this song I went nuts for them
7. Desire by U2
They took a riff from Bo Diddly and got very American
8. Then by The Charletons UK
I wasn't a big fan of these Manchester guys but suddenly they got into my veins and I really started to dig the whole scene. rock organ with a dance beat and undeniably English vocals. Yes they sound a lot like The Stone Roses but I'm okay with that.

9. Jean Genie by David Bowie
"New York's a go-go and everything tastes nice" Such groovy song.
10.Fast As You Can by Fiona Apple
Fiona isn't as creepy on this song as she was on Criminal but she's just as insane. This is a little bit of a hyper song for her and I like it.
11.Cecelia by Simon and Garfunkle
Feel good song, sort of.
12.Posthuman by Marilyn Manson
Wicked sounding rock for the future which Marilyn brought to us here.

13.March Of The Pigs by Nine Inch Nails
Crazy anger from Trent and his band. This was the first single from his huge Downward Spiral album and recorded where Sharon Tate was murdered Charles Manson's minions
14.Still The Same by Bob Seger
 Man, this song is a good song to relax and think about, especially after you rock out to Hollywood Nights.
15.Orgasm Addict by The Buzzcocks
Great band that deserved more credit than they ever got. You can here where all power pop punk bands got there influence. 

16.My Favorite Game by Cardigans
This one sounded so different from  their previous stuff and had a video not played on Mtv because it was too destructive. Nia Pierson and the boys did good with this one.

17.Sexx Laws by Beck
I thought that this would be it for beck but he did make some good tunes after this one as he entered the 21st century.
18.Private Idaho by The B-52's
Classically weird rock from Athens Georgia
19.This is Your Life by The Dust Brothers
You are not your Fucking khakis!
