Whiskey River – Willie Nelson
I know, the name of the web page is “rockminutes” with the emphasis on ROCK, but any true music fan will appreciate this song on their mp3 player, along with the others on this list. One of Willie’s all time great songs and a must have for everyone’s music collection; place it right between the Ramones and Elvis, it will fit right in, trust me.
Surrender – Cheap Trick
For those of you unaware, rockminutes is based out of the Midwest, which of course is influential in our taste in music. One of the great underrated bands out of the Midwest is Cheap Trick. They really are one of the great bands that were too easily and quickly forgotten. If you don’t have any Cheap Trick in your collection, at the minimum add this one, you will not regret it!
Telephone Line – ELO
I love, love, love, ELO… they are truly one of my all time favorite guilty pleasures; musically. But this is really good song weather you like ELO or not. ELO may not be everyone’s cup of tea but this song is more mainstream and everyone who hears me jamming it in the car says, man that is a great song.
Nothing but Flowers – Talking Heads
The Talking Heads are the musically equivalent to art deco in my opinion… or maybe for my audience, micro brewed beer is a better analogy? Some of it really sucks, some of it is really great and there is very little in-between. This is one of their best songs in my opinion. It’s a song that is post apocalyptic, for real, it is a pretty song in the vain of Mad Max, check it out.
Birdhouse in Your Soul – They Might Be Giants
There is a theme I have going on this week, can you tell? I am going with “artsy” artist that might be mainstream “rock,” but produce some really great tunes. This is the same with this song and band. Let me state I am not a fan of the band, but I do love this song. It’s their best and if you are looking to diversify your MP 3 player and add some really cool wacky stuff, this song is a good bet, or you could go with Istanbul, it’s a little weirder if that’s what you are going for…
Later…
