If I sound impatient in this entry, it’s because I just made the play list you hear. Had I known how troublesome those things are, you’d be reading a review of my favorite cartoon strips. I thought it would be good to do 15 songs you’ve probably haven’t heard, but I could only find 8 I wanted to put here. The classical selection was paltry, the rock and roll embarrassingly mainstream. So here we are: 10 songs that you might like that you’ve probably never heard. I had to stick to better known bands for the most part due to the lack of depth on that website.

Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble-- Little Wing

This is one of favorite tunes of all time. I think it captures everything that made Stevie Ray so great: virtuosity and passion.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience-- Hear My Train a Comin’

This is some of my favorite guitar work. It actually sounds like a train.

Metallica-- Whiskey in the Jar

A very cool cover song. I was debating whether I should add this song or Astronomy from the same album. This song starts faster, so I chose it to save you the trouble.

Jonnie Lang-- Lie to Me.

Disclaimer. Kaaryn hates this guy’s music. She thinks it’s melodramatic. I think it’s. . .passionate? Either way, this guy was 15 when this album was released. He sings and plays the guitar.

Thais-- Meditation

One of the most relaxing tunes you’ll find. Absolutely beautiful.

Megadeth-- Peace Sells, But Who’s Buying?

Of the many anthems for malcontents, this one is the best. I think Mustaine is the best song writer heavy metal ever saw, perhaps rock and roll ever saw. This may not be his best social criticism, but it shows his style and his attitude and is a fun romp through disaffection.

Bush-- Warm Machine

I just like this song. It’s from the “The Science of Things” failure of an album.

Bruch-- Violin Concerto #1

I wanted to put Brahms’ concerto for violin and cello, 3rd movement, but I couldn’t find it. However, this is really good stuff.

The White Stripes-- Death Letter

Fancy guitar work. Perhaps the most fun you'll have listening to an account of the death of a loved one. . . well, outside of the circus.

Led Zeppelin

The odds of you having heard this song before are actually pretty good, if you're over 30. But I still think there's a good chance you'll like it.
