I started this section a few weeks ago, with the help of Dr. J. I hope you can take time out of your day to put your joysticks down (either one, wink wink) and discover these songs, because there is more to life than Panic at the Disco!
Paranoid– Before MTV, bats and Sharon, Ozzy was part of one of the most legendary bands on earth! Black Sabbath released their second album, Paranoid, which had several hits like: War Pigs (for which the album was supposed to be titled) and Iron Man. Paranoid is a hard rock classic!
D’yer Maker– A song taken from their fifth album, Houses of the Holy, this song a strong departure from their classic rock sound! It is more of a dub/jamican/doo-wap sound. It is a definate must for the summertime!
Inner City Blues (Makes Me Wanna Holla)– The song “What’s Going On?” get a lot of play as being one of the greatest songs. But in my opnion, Inner City Blues is the best. When you hear the lyrics, you can’t tell whether Marvin Gaye wrote in in the 70’s or today. It tackles many of the same issues we are faced with today. It goes goes to show that history repeats itself!
I’m Still #1– In my opinion, KRS-One is one of the best rappers of all-time. In 1988, Boogie Down Productions released their second album, “By All Means Necessary“. It went Gold and secured KRS-One as one of the allt-ime best. Thier are other oustanding hits by the group, but this one is my favorite.
The Fat Lady of Limburg– This is a cover of a weird ass Brian Eno song. Shivaree released his song in 2005, off the band’s sophmore album “Who’s Got Trouble?“. This is song has a sound that is undescribeable, and they are still making music, unlike the other artists in this feature.
