2009, A new year, a new era, and time to keep those resolutions! Well, atleast try to anyways. I believe this time I can get back on my feet and try to be a better person overall. I know that I won't be able to go out with a certain someone as I had wished, but there are others out there that I am friends with that I would to see if I can go further with them. Also, time to be committed to what ever is in front of me, which means I might pull a Rocky and give myself some vigorous work outs (except not trying to be buff like Rocky).Also, I would like to announce that I am planning on creating a second blog! What will the new one be about? Well, music is always beside me in my life and that is where the focus will be for this blog. Every week will be a different artist and within that week there will be posts showing lyrics from whomever the artist is for that week along with music videos, live performances, and interviews, maybe even the band playing a cover tune! Stick with me folks, I will be creating this blog soon, hopefully by next week.That's it for now, I am not going to dread anymore as most of that crap was in 2008 and it just needs to be left behind.
Well 96 Rock is about to finish up their top 500 songs for Memorial Day and I have listened to a lot of it, but here is a run down on a couple of spots and then my review of the Top 5.#500: "I Wanna Rock" by Twisted Sister, actually, in a sense, it makes sense! Its the perfect opening song because don't you wanna rock when the countdown kicks off? In all honesty though, could have been slightly higher.Live had their big hit around spot number 50, I agree with the DJ that was on when it played, it shouldn't be in the top 500!Ok, so here is the Top 5:#5. "One" by Metallica- Very surprised that it is that high up, but nonetheless, a great song indeed and deserves to be there (I'm a metal fan, so yeah, haha).#4. "Free Bird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd- It's a good song, no doubt about, but being back in North Carolina makes me realize that I never really missed the song. Would be awesome to try to play it in a band, though!#3. "Baba O'Reilly" by The Who- A shocker, but a good song all together. I would think that "Won't Get Fooled Again" would be at this position because I think its a way more powerful song that this one. But I love the song, so its all good :).#2. "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana- Well Generation X is getting older and I can see how this is almost becoming the "old guard" of rock for those born in the nineties and now. But I don't see it in my top 5, but top 10. I have the album by the way and I love the ferocious attitude played by Kurt, Dave, and Krist.#1. "Stairway To Heaven" by Led Zeppelin. A very powerful song that tops almost everybody lists (I like The Rain Song better honestly). I've listened to the song way to much in the past couple of years, but its a good song now again now that I haven't heard it in awhile. Maybe it stems from the people of my generation that walk around in the Led Zeppelin 1977 tour shirts and they broke up from Bonham's death way before any of us were born. My dad was suppose to see them in '77, but Robert Plant's kid died while they were on tour and they canceled the rest of it. I can't remember who said it, but they said the reason so many people love it is because its a "climber" song, that it constantly climbs in tempo and attitude. Very true!The list will be posted soon at http://www.96rockonline.com
