Wumbo Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Well, now that I've sufficiently covered Green Day (which doesn't mean you've seen the last of them), perhaps I should post a song from the other pioneers of pop punk: Blink-182. Blink-182 is a great band that can go from catchy and fun to soulful and meaningful in the blink of an eye (no pun intended). Let's start off with catchy and fun, shall we?

Wumbo Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 God, I love this song. It may be my favourite of 2012. Too Close - Alex Clare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumbo Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 Led Zeppelin is well known for their long, long songs. I thought I'd go with one of their longest today. Achilles Last Stand - Led Zeppelin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumbo Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 Another great Train song, this time more recent. If you can get past the cheesy lyrics, this song is fun and catchy. Drive By - Train Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clappy Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Drops of Jupiter is the only Train song I actually like. I really don't know much of their older stuff besides that, but all their more recent efforts I can't stand due to cheesy, mind numbing lyrics. I don't like Drive By but at least it's not as horrible as Hey Soul Sister *shudders*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG19 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Drops of Jupiter is the only Train song I actually like.

I don't like Drive By but at least it's not as horrible as Hey Soul Sister *shudders*. What about Calling All Angels, Cab or 50 Ways to Say Goodbye? IMO, those songs have lyrics that are not in the least bit corny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clappy Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 What about Calling All Angels, Cab or 50 Ways to Say Goodbye? IMO, those songs have lyrics that are not in the least bit corny. I've heard two of those three songs (never heard of Cab). You are right about Calling All Angels which I consider old school Train, but 50 Ways To Way Goodbye I'm not fond of. Granted, it's not because of the lyrics, but the mariachi music. It doesn't work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumbo Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 I have Hey, Soul Sister on my iPod, but I'm not really sure why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumbo Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 Queens of the Stone Age are one of my favourites, but they have the tendency to get weird at times.

Wumbo Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 The Offspring recently released a new album. While I still love their 90's stuff, this single proves that they've still got it. Days Go By - The Offspring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clappy Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Good song choice. Absolutely they still got it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumbo Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 I have no idea why I like this song, as it has three artists who I abhor. But I like it anyway, so here you go.

Wumbo Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 This is the first, but definitely not the last, song by The Tragically Hip that will come up in this topic. Great Canadian rock band that's been at it since '87 and still going strong today. Sadly, they didn't make it internationally, as is the case with many Canadian bands, but here's hoping I can spread the word, even if it is just on a SpongeBob forum.

Wumbo Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 And speaking of great Canadian rock bands, here's Metric. If I'm not mistaken, I believe they achieved a little international success. But even if they didn't, this band proves that success isn't everything (so does Justin Bieber, but in an opposite way). Youth Without Youth - Metric And in case anyone's wondering, no, I can't explain the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumbo Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 This may very well be the most misunderstood song in the history of music. People play it as a song to dance to at weddings, because it's apparently so romantic... despite the fact that it's about a stalker.

Wumbo Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 When I was getting into music, The Killers were one of the first bands I was introduced to. And man, are they good. They have a fairly new single and, while not as good as some of their previous work, is still a solid song. Runaways - The Killers You know what, screw it. This is up there with Hot Fuss.

Wumbo Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 1981. The debut of MTV. Back when its name made sense, because it did, in fact, play music. And the first video they showed explained that music videos were here to stay, and they were. Video did, in fact, kill the radio star. (Ironically, I can't find the original video. But anyway, here you go.) Video Killed The Radio Star - The Buggles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumbo Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 Sometimes it's nice to just let loose and listen to a catchy, fun, happy song. Like this one. You Gotta Be - Des'Ree 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumbo Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 I've really been getting into the band Sweet lately. They have some great songs, but are only really known for a few. Here's one of their less popular ones: The Sixteens - Sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumbo Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 While I don't like David Guetta, I do like a lot of his songs. This is mostly due to the person he gets to sing for him, which is the case here. Titanium - David Guetta ft. Sia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
