P.O.D. - "Ghetto" from Satellite (2001)

 

Spoiler

 

Sound of my early high school years right there. I love how this song slowly builds to a crescendo, unleashing the raw fury of Sonny's voice.

Goo Goo Dolls - "Better Days" from Let Love In (2006)

 

Spoiler

 

Inspired by Steve's 90s Alt thread (even though this song and album are very much early 2000s alt)

 

I chose the AMV version because that's how I was introduced to the song, and even having never seen the anime all the way through, it has a haunting, beautiful quality to it.

Bjork - "Aurora" from Vespertine (2001)

I was trying to limit the number of artist repetitions for the first fifty or so posts, but this song (and her whole Vespertine album) is gorgeous.

I first was introduced to Dylan through this song on Rock Band, and it's still one of my favorites.

The Beatles - "Hey Jude" from Hey Jude [Single] (1969)

An obvious choice, but I haven't yet seen any Beatles in this forum.

Led Zeppelin - "When the Levee Breaks" from Led Zeppelin IV (1971)

Spoiler

Rounding out oldie's week is more Zep. Because, goddammit, those guys rock my socks. This song especially has a badass motherfucking blues solo for a full minute before the vocals begin.

It's hip-hop Saturday! Kicking off we have a crazy mashup between Jay-Z and the Chrono Trigger soundtrack. By far my favorite version of Jay's classic "99 Problems."

Sometimes on Sunday you just need to relax, and there's no better way to do that than with some Max Richter. Laz introduced me to this album, and it's one of my favorite modern classical albums.
