760. "B is For Brutus" (The Hives, Tyrannosaurus Hives, 2004)
This band is pure energy, and this is my favorite Hives record.
759. "Train in Vain" (The Clash, London Calling, 1979)
The closing track of London Calling, also known as "Stand By Me".
758. "Just Pretend" (The Bens, The Bens, 2004)
Awesome E.P. by Ben Folds, Ben Kweller and Ben Lee.
757. "Born" (Over the Rhine, Drunkard's Prayer, 2005)
A beautiful poem.
756. "Georgia on My Mind" (Ray Charles, Genius, 1960)
One of the greatest singers of all time. Nothing more to say.
755. "I Didn't Mean to Turn You On" (Robert Palmer, The Very Best, 1986)
"I was only trying to be nice, only trying to be nice"
754. "Cum on Feel the Noize" (Quiet Riot, Metal Health, 1983)
I learned from my good friend Maria that this is a cover. Never realized that until about 6 months ago.
753. "(I Could Only) Whisper Your Name" (Harry Connick Jr, She, 1994)
This is the song that put Harry Connick Jr on the radio.
752. "Big Me" (Foo Fighters, Foo Fighters, 1995)
Great song, great video, and hey, weezer covers this in concert.
751. "Goodbye West Coast" (Matt Sharp, Matt Sharp, 2004)
This is a really good "chill" record. Nothing like what you've expected from The Rentals.
750. "I'm Your Daddy" (Weezer, Raditude, 2009)
I sing this to Gracie all the time, and she sings, "I'm your daughter".
749. "Conquest" (Tapes n Tapes, Walk It Off, 2008)
This album is awesome, discovered these guys watching a "Human Giant" marathon.
748. "The Ocean" (Led Zeppelin, Houses of the Holy, 1973)
The Beastie Boys sampled it on "She's Crafty", great riff.
747. "Into the Blue" (Rooney, Eureka, 2010)
I would have seen them recently had they not opened for Hanson.
746. "I Love You, But Goodbye" (Langhorne Slim, Be Set Free, 2009)
I had to say this 2 and a half years ago.
745. "Smile" (Tony Bennett, Fifty Years, 2004)
I've heard that this was Michael Jackson's all time favorite song.
744. "Tropicalia" (Beck, Mutations, 1998)
Get. This. Album.
743. "Hang Fire" (The Rolling Stones, Tattoo You, 1981)
On the way to Pepino's a few weeks back, I realized that I totally forget this song, and had to bump something.
742. "Runaway" (Wyclef Jean, The Ecleftic, 2000)
"ain't no samples, this is original"
741. "We Are the World" (USA for Africa, Single, 1985)
The star power alone is amazing. Thumbs down to the remake, though. Thumbs way down.
