Something different…

A while a go I posted a couple of my fav. songs, something different for a change. I really enjoyed writing the article cause I’ve always been a huge fan of music, alternative music that is. The cool thing about writing these articles is looking up the videos on youtube.

So I’m gonna do three songs this time, and try to explain why I picked these songs.

In my previous edition I included Pearl Jam. PJ definitely produced the best grunge album ever, TEN. But Nirvana is the best grunge band. The intensity, energy, atmosphere and the pure raw sound made this band in to a legendary one. It’s a shame Kurt Cobain threw away all the talent he had. This was their first video for one of the best grunge labels Sub Pop:

The second song is from a band called Down. Down isn’t a full time band, it’s more of a side project or should I say supergroup. Down contains of members and former members of Pantera, Corrosion of Conformity, Crowbar and Eyehategod. Normally I’m no fan of supergroups cause for some reason it hardly ever works out. But Down is definitely an exception. Their “debut” album Nola is still one of the best metal CD’s ever. Just listen to this song, Stone the Crow:

It took me a lot of time before I picked this third song. There are so many great songs and bands out there. Most songs I picked so far were “old” songs so that’s why I picked a more recent song, Kaiser Chiefs – Never miss a beat. Although this is probably the only song on their new album I actually like I do still think KC is a great band. Their debut album “employment” is amazing, and so is this track… I really like it and my kids love it:
