Red Wanting Blue

Song: "Where You Wanna Go"
Artist: Red Wanting Blue
Album: These Magnificent Miles

This band has been touring without the support of a record label for over a decade, and their new album is their best work yet. Great guys, great music, go buy it.

TNT

Song: "Forever Shine On"
Artist: TNT
Album: Intuition

I absolutely played the crap out of this cassette I had in the late '80's! No joke. I don't know what happened to these guys, but this remains one of my favorite hair band albums of all-time, and sadly, one you have probably never heard of. Go find this stuff, it's awesome, especially the guitar work.

Driven To Tears

Song: "Driven To Tears"
Artist: The Police
Album: Zenyatta Mondatta

This is one of my favorite Police songs of all-time. This band really has some great songs in their catalog. It really would be cool if they decided to release something new before hanging it up again.

Angel on My Bike

Song: "Angel on My Bike"
Artist: The Wallflowers
Album: Bringing Down the Horse

Jakob Dylan's band came out of the gates with some good rock songs and some boring pop anthems ("One Headlight") at the same time. But edgy stuff like this was really good, and Dylan seems to have mellowed like his dad and forgotten about this edgy part of his catalog.

Milwaukees

Song: "Save Me"
Artist: The Milwaukees
Album: American Anthems Vol. 1

This album title is appropriate because this band sounds like Springsteen and Tom Petty and all things American. Good ol' American rock.

Everything

Song: "Everything"
Artist: Jody Watley
Album: Best of Jody Watley

This is one of many cheesy pop songs I have in my collection. It's really just good, timeless pop.

This Is It

Song: "This Is It"
Artist: Ryan Adams
Album: Rock N Roll

Ryan Adams just keeps making great music, and this rock album he did a few years ago may be one of the most underrated rock albums of the last decade. Go check it out if you haven't heard it, whether you're a fan or not.
