Zac Brown Band - "Toes"

G-Man

Paramore - "Misery Business"

We should have given emo or whatever you want to call this kind of music more of a break. While we were all lamenting the loss of true "Rock", the pop stars took over our divided ranks. Songs like this still stand the test of time, and harken back to a time that should be revered the 2000s. Maybe I only feel this way because this song was track #1 on a mix CD that a smoking hot girl made for me back in '08. Memories....

The Tragically Hip - "Fiddler's Green"

G-Man

Hayden - "Blurry Nights"

I need to be a better fan of Hayden's. One of my biggest inspirations when it came to guitar playing and songwriting. He's doing a tour this Fall and one of his stops is close to mine...tickets sold out too fast for me to snatch one up. We'll see...

The Sex Pistols - "Anarchy In The UK"

Mike D

Queen - "Hammer To Fall"

J.B

The Clash - "London Calling"

Personally I never had a problem with the Queen. I think it's a sad day for a fairly iconic figure. No matter what it will be a tumultuous change, and change is often a good thing.

Bobby Vinton - "My Melody Of Love"

G-Man

Broken Social Scene - "Anthems For A Seventeen Year Old Girl"

Broken Social Scene were essentially a musical collective comprised of the who's who on the Canadian Indie Music circuits of the late 90's to mid 2000's. Some former members who would go on to seperate stardom include Leslie Feist, Emily Haines of Metric and Torquil Campbell of Stars. Even though they've rotated anywhere between 9-15 members at once this song manages to have a stripped down, lo-fi scene that i've really found myself hunting down lately. Enjoy

Nada Surf - "Popular"

Nine albums...NINE ALBUMS?!?! Can you believe these guys are still together and touring? I loved this jam back in 1996 and remember waiting a good 4 or 5 hours watching Much Music to hit "record" on my VCR. But, I haven't heard a thing or at least that memorable since then. Happy Friday and keep the good vibes going.

Bhi Bhiman - "Guttersnipe"

Garland Man

Queen - "Radio Gaga"

I'm picking this song by Queen after seeing their performance of it from the 1985 Benefit Concert Live Aid. Queen's heyday was definitely behind them and even the band was uncertain about doing a festival style concert. What followed was one of the most memorable performances by the band. Freddie Mercury gave the show of his lifetime and effortless had the crowd in the palm of his hand, many of which weren't even there to see Queen. It's considered the show that brought on the resurgence of the band's popularity.
