Back in 2005, David Bowie and Arcade Fire joined forces on stage for a benefit concert. The studio version from Hunky Dory is a classic, but the extended piano intro from the Fashion Rocks show really does it for me.
If this song doesn’t make you a Bowie fan, I don’t know what will.
This track comes from Pete Townshend’s first real solo album, Empty Glass.
The Who albums from this time period are a bit uneven, but Empty Glass is a truly fantastic album.
This song never fails to make me feel a thousand times more smooth than I really am.
Queen Latifah proving that words are a million times more provocative than all the latex onesies, and stuck out tongues in the world.
If there’s anything to be learned from this song, it’s that pretty much every new album from Will Smith is a comeback album.
This particular comeback was in the summer of 1991, following the first season of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and only 2 years after their previous album. If anybody seriously wrote off Will Smith in that amount of time, I can’t even imagine how shocked they’d be to see how the next 20 years would play out.
Hands down my favourite song off of Americana, and probably my favourite Offspring song.
I’m already a sucker for a good intro, but when some palm muting gets tossed into the mix, it’s pretty much guaranteed that I’ll love the song.
Creed get a lot of flack, but I genuinely enjoy this song.
Like a lot of males my age, I’ll probably always associate it with the promo videos that the WWF put together in the beginning of 2002.
I walked out of Michael Jackson’s This Is It really impressed by two things. The first was Man in the Mirror (love that chorus), and the second was Orianthi.
After that, it was a pleasant surprise to hear her get some mainstream radio airplay. In a nice change from a lot of top 40 music, she does an excellent job of mixing a distinctly pop sound with some blistering guitar solos.
Thanks to the Olympics, I’m feeling that extra bit of Canadian pride. In the spirit of that, here’s some great Canadian music.
Anytime I compliment someone on their haircut, I’m thinking about this song. I doubt anyone finds this as amusing as I do.
