Sadchild's "high fives" (every artist I like at least five songs from)

anouk_1.jpg


Anouk

Genre: pop rock, AC

Discovered: CMJ?

Other: Huge in The Netherlands. Of her 12 albums, only one didn't hit #1 there... and that's the one I like best: from start to finish (it's her hardest rockin' one). Three of the songs below are from it.

1. Everything
2. Margarita Chum
3. Fading
4. Who Cares
5. If I Go

Anthrax

Genre: metal

Discovered: MTV (video for "Antisocial")

Other: I didn't like much the original Belladonna-fronted Anthrax ('84-'90), except for a few of their goofy/fun songs). Too thrashy and "80s metal voice"-y! I prefer the John Bush-fronted Anthrax ('93-'03). Their first album with John, Sound Of White Noise, is one of my fav metal albums of all time. There are, however, a few songs from the second era of Belladonna ('11-present) I definitely like though.

HIGH FIVE:

1. Bring The Noise (w/ Public Enemy) [BELLADONNA]
2. Only [BUSH]
3. Poison My Eyes [BUSH]
4. I'm The Man [BELLADONNA]
5. This Is Not An Exit [BUSH]

Discovered: Was already a fan of Klayton (sole member of Celldweller and Circle Of Dust), who was half of the project.

Arrested-Development-at-the-Grammys-1024x640.jpg

1. Mr Wendal
2. Tennessee
3. People Everyday (Mix)

Awolnation

Genre: alt, alt-rock, alt-pop

4. Hollow Moon (Bad Wolf)
5. Passion

 
B52s+MAC.jpg

Genre: new wave

Discovered: MTV (video for Channel Z)

HIGH FIVE:

1. Love Shack
2. Roam
3. Channel Z
4. Meet The Flintstones
5. Tell It Like It T I Is

How can you talk about the B-52's without mentioning "Rock Lobster"?

Mama always said, if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all.

I like the lyrics and vibe of "Heroes" but don't find myself generally drawn toward it. Love "Allentown" (on my 500+) and "Pressure". Two different Joel songs are on my 333. The guy's a legend. "Rock Lobster" is on my list of least favorite songs, and in the top 20 too. Everyone has a handful...
