1. Sober - Pink. Good lyrics with great delivery and a killer chorus.
2. Second Chance - Shinedown. I like about 70% of this song - not the reference to Haley's Comet.
3. Careless Whisper - Seether. This is a brilliant rework of the Wham! classic - "I'm never gone dance again, guilty feet have got no rhythm."
4&5. Poker Face and "Just Dance" - Lady GaGa. Doc, no need to click those links. PF is a bizarre pop song reminiscent of Siouxsie and the Banshees and C+C Music Factory that is awesome. JD is a trashy pop song that I like, despite myself.
Bonus - (1) 4 Live Performances from Ryan Adams and the Cardinals on the excellent AOL Sessions program here; (2) Preview video of new David Gray album; and (3) acoustic "Today, "Cherub Rock" and "Landslide" from Smashing Pumpkins (don't forget the greatness).
Link doesn't work on Second Chance.
ReplyDeletefixed.
ReplyDeletei don't hate on pop music, but awesome seems a bit strong....
ReplyDeleteYou're right. I shouldn't have clicked on Lady GaGa. But 49+ million views can't be wrong, right?
ReplyDeleteJust listen to that Cherub Rock acoustic from 1993 and it will cleanse your palette.
ReplyDeletei must admit, i can't get poker face out of my mind....
