Back in the day Dan and Randy made cheesy, yet funny, videos. This is the theme song of their very first show “Justice”.
Early Bruce is a study in grasp exceeding reach at times. But young Bruce got it all right on this track that would definitely rank among my favorite Boss tunes. ‘Incident on 57th Street’ is a pocket symphony and Scorsese film set to music.
You’ve been waiting with bated breath for an entire week to see what my favorite 25 Prince songs are. Wait no more…
…and I think I might have an addiction to peanut butter..
Sam Cooke is often cited as one of the fathers of soul music, and rightly so. He had 30 Top 40 hits from 1957-1964, before he was tragically gunned down in the prime of his life. “Fool’s Paradise” wasn’t one of those songs, but featuring his excellent voice front-and-center, it’s a lost treasure worth hearing.
Before Mariah, Britney and Lady Gaga came along, Madonna and Whitney Houston were the women who ruled the pop charts. While most of the music is laughably dated or parodied today, “Into the Groove”, strangely, still has staying power for me.
Beach House is the embodiment of Dream Pop and this song is the lead-off track of their 2012 LP “Bloom”. “Myth” is an instant classic and a great introduction to the band’s work.
The Kinks have recorded tons of essential material over the course of their career. “Waterloo Sunset” may be the most essential of them all.
Solo Ryan Adams stuff can be a dicey proposition but the guy was on fire for 2001’s “Gold” record. The lovelorn, heart-tugging ballad “La Cienega Just Smiled” is the talented Adams best tune and alt-country ‘gold’.
