But I'm a big QotSA fan anyway.<br /><br />Here we go...<br /><br />1) Faith No More, "Naked in Front of the Computer." Okay, so, FNM. All the pretend-angst of late-90's rock bands never impressed me, because Mike Patton is the Real Deal. This turned out to be their last album, and it was critically panned, but whatever. When Mike Patton says he hates your ass, he MEANS it.<br /><br />2) Adam Sandler, "My Little Chicken." I thought it would take longer than this to be embarassed. I swear to god, iTunes has NEVER called this song up... until now.<br /><br />3) Korn, "Freak on a Leash." Okay, so I was a Korn fan back in the day. In the right mood, I can still jam out to them a bit and not feel self-conscious about it. Right now is not one of those times. They got repetitious, but for a time I truly thought they were the last great hope for hard rock.<br /><br />4) Cowboy Bebop soundtrack, "Cosmos." I don't like anime. I just don't. But I liked Cowboy Bebop, and a lot of that has to do with the frankly amazing soundtrack on each episode. Lots of blues, lots of jazz, some swing, a few torches. Somehow, a TV show about space-faring bounty hunters ended up like an episodic detective story, thanks to this score.<br /><br />5) Deadwood soundtrack, "Native Funeral." Best show ever put on TV.<br /><br />6) The Ramones, "Poison Heart." I'm not, like, a Ramones mega-fan. But I'm 25, white, and like to maintain a certain level of credibility, so I own some Ramones albums. I feel very honest right now.<br /><br />7) Burden Brothers, "Everybody is Easy." Strangely enough, the single on their second album, which came out just six weeks ago. Kind of a Dallas superband; lead singer from the Toadies, drummer from Rev. Horton Heat, and the rest of the band are people famous around here that I have forgotten about. Good solid rock, often fun, sometimes dark, always good for tapping the steering wheel to.<br /><br />8) Monster Magnet, "King of Mars." Monster Magnet spell rock "r-a-w-k." And for that, they're okay in my book.<br /><br />9) Filter, "The Best Things." Youthful indiscretion. Technically good, but the lyrics to any Filter song are pretty bad. Similar Korn situation, here.<br /><br />10) Sheryl Crow, "Soak Up the Sun." Yeah, let's just forget this ever happened.Ken Loweryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13582094936838936011noreply@blogger.com
