“In The Morning” comes from U.K. band Razorlight‘s 2006 self-titled album, their second. It peaked at number 3 on the U.K. charts and was heard on tour as the band supported Queen+Paul Rodgers, Oasis, and the Rolling Stones throughout the remainder of 2006.

Kansas City’s The Rainmakers‘ “Small Circles” is from their 1987 album Tornadoes isn’t what you call a hit, not even a minor hit and it has a positively 80’s music video.

Not particularly the biggest John Cougar fan, but this is a great song. “Ain’t Even Done With the Night” was featured on his 1980 Nothin’ Matters and What If It Did album. “AEDWTN” was his biggest hit to that date, reaching 17 on the Billboard charts, propelling the album to 37. If you liked this…

Heard this jam while I was unloading trucks at Marshall’s last September and have been rocking to it ever since. Hockey has a very cool “Do It Yourself” story of receiving airplay; the Portland, Oregon-group self-produced their EP Mind Chaos in 2008 and received attention from Radio 1 DJs. They went on to perform at…

My favorite track of the album that strapped a rocket to AC/DC‘s rock and roll dreams and took them into the stratosphere, Highway to Hell, “If You Want Blood” features Bon Scott in fine screeching form and Angus Young delivering a great solo. Thing to keep an out for in the video: Angus Young keeps…
