Taking Down This Blog

I want to thank you all for reading this blog over the past couple of years, but I have decided to take it down as of today...well, actually, I will leave it up with all the archives, but I'm going to start a new blog in its place, one geared toward my favorite albums of all-time as opposed to about random songs. Thanks again and stay tuned!

Countrymen

Song: "Countrymen"
Artist: The Sheila Divine
Album: Where Have My Countrymen Gone

I'm not sure if this band is still together, but back in the early part of this decade I was turned on to them and couldn't top listening to their albums. New Parade is still my favorite record of theirs, but this one is pretty good too.

Damn Yankees

Song: "High Enough"
Artist: Damn Yankees
Album: Damn Yankees

I love this song...it has such a retro feel and why shouldn't it? Guys like Ted Nugent and Night Ranger's Jack Blades and Styx's Tommy Shaw formed the supergroup. And it mirrors my feeling right now on how bitter I am that the New York Yankees are awesome this year and my Mets just suck.

Raining in Baltimore

Song: "Raining in Baltimore"
Artist: Counting Crows
Album: August and Everything After

This debut album from Counting Crows is still ultimately my favorite of theirs...it's so powerful and chill at the same time, especially this amazing song.

Daughtry

Song: "No Suprise"
Artist: Daughtry
Album: Leave This Town

I'm reviewing the latest Daughtry album for Bullz-Eye.com and while this stuff is processed, over-produced, made for album rock radio, the songs are just really good.

Harmonium

Song: "Harmonium"
Artist: Rogue Wave
Album: Asleep at Heaven's Gate

I love this band, especially their last two albums...ever since seeing them at SXSW like three years ago. If you like brooding alt-rock, check out Rogue Wave immediately.

Sunburn

Song: "Sunburn"
Artist: Fuel
Album: Sunburn

When rock band Fuel burst onto the scene about 10 or 11 years ago, they were very cool and alternative, while maintaining very heavy songwriting roots. Later on, their success bred record company and producer slickness, which was good for them and their wallets, but not great for fans...it's just that this first album is so raw and awesome, and while I dig the second album a bit too, I kind of lost interest in Fuel after that.
