I love music, as i am sure most of you would have guessed by now. I especially like watching music videos, as long as they are something different and not just some crap band standing about looking dull. That’s the problems with this next site that has crossed my path: 999 Of Your Favorites. You see as it’s an American site, there is quite a bit of music that i either don’t like or it’s just stuff that has never really crossed the commercial pond. I’m not interested in Aerosmith, Britney, D12 or fuckin 2Pac. What i was impressed with was the Elvis cover of Ray Charles’ I Got A Woman, The Stones doing Paint It Black, Onyx & Biohazard, The Doors and the fabulous Johnny Cash. Worth scrolling through all the shit to find a few hidden gems, i am sure you will agree. Let us know which ones you like in the comments. But there’s no need for Elvis jokes. The mans a fuckin’ god.

It’s amazing to listen to “Paint It, Black” and for it to be as relevant now as ever. Maaarvellous. Elvis is a legend. I liked the Kanye West sample of “I Got a Woman” in whatever album/single it was. Twas good.
Some of my faves: Moby - “Go” (I was raised on the house scene in the mid and late 80’s - Aciiiiid isn’t on the site though), Alice Cooper - “Poison” (classic, 1987 or something like that - “We’re not worthy!”), the entire Billy Idol section (Ledge-End), and Billy Joel (Ledge-Enderer), Blue Oyster Cult - Don’t Fear The Reaper (more cowbell!), Bob Marley (not a bad song amongst them), Bonnie Tyler “Total Eclipse of The Heart” (as wrote by Jim Steinman of Bat Out of Hell fame), Buggles (fronted by Trevor Horn who everybody will now for being the producer of 1/2’s of the hits in the charts these days), Bruce Springsteen, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Davie Bowie, Drowning Pool - “Bodies” (one of the best singles of ‘01 - pity the frontman popped his clogs - I used to FPS to this like a motherfucker on Aliens vs Predator, Wolfenstein and Jedi Knight; immense), Eagles - “Hotel California” (Don Henley is a legend - singing and playing an off beat is very hard to do [watch his playing vs his words, s’amazingly technical] Joe Walsh is also a legend - if there’s no “James Gang” in your life, then find some and listen to it), EMF - “Unbelievable” (another song I was raised on), Enya (music to go to sleep by if there ever was any), Erasure (you don’t have to be gay to appreciate Andy Bells vocals or the arrangements of the Vincemeister), Fatboy Slim “Right Here, Right Now” (he’s a load of cack, but this one track was worth listening to - Weapon of Choice is a good video, shit track though), The Four Seasons (sans Frankie Valli - supoib), Oh yeah a bit of G’N'R too with “November Rain” or anything else you care to mention (back when Axle had a voice left), oh and taking it back 3 years to Huey Lewis and The News (great vocalist), The Jacksons and “Can You Feel It” (well can you, huh, punk?), Jay Z and 99 Problems, followed by Jefferson Airplane and “White Rabbit” (up there with “Paint it, Black”), Jimmy Hendrix “Purple Haze”, Johnny Cash is a well noted legend so I wont big him up but “Ring of Fire” is immense, Kraftwerk are ground breaking, can’t go wrong with a bit of Kylie (I’d love a bit of Kylie) or Lionel, ahhh, I’d carry on but I’ve waffled too much already.
