Rocktober Part 3

Let's try and finish Rocktober on a high note and who knows, maybe next month will be a November to Remember?

Rob

Blink 182 - "Don't Leave Me"

Huey Lewis & The News - "The Heart Of Rock n' Roll"

Do you like Huey Lewis & The News?

Mr. T

Dean Martin - "You're Nobody Until Somebody Loves You"

G-Man

Santana - "Put Your Lights On" feat. Everlast

Aeons ahead of it's time Santana put out a fantastic album in 1999 which saw his classic rock style guitar paired with then current artists effectively introducing 2 generations to a new style of music. It's a format still copied today. Santana has said that his favourite track on Supernatural was his duet with Everlast, and while I dig the Latin vibes of "Maria, Maria", i'm inclined to agree with Carlos. My old man does too.

Doug

Pantera - "Cowboys From Hell"

It's impossible for me to hear this song and not be whisked back to the Summer of 2006. My first car that was officially mine....Fixxxer. Black '95 Sunfire. Loved rippin' around town in that thing despite how much of a bucket of bolts it was. It was mine. Paid straight cash. It had an updated soundsystem with one of those late 90's early 2000's CD players that lit up blue and orange. Naturally I had to make a mix CD to commemorate my first no-fucks-given-mobile....Fixxxer Mixxx!! Track one? Pantera and The Cowboys From Hell
