After seeing Brandon Flowers and My Chemical Romance in the last few weeks, my next concert is The Smashing Pumpkins. I'll be posting a few different Smashing Pumpkins blogs. I was trying to post these videos in chronological order. However "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" has 28 tracks, thus I'm going to post that CD all by itself. On future blogs I'll post songs from "Adore" the two "Machina" CDs and maybe more CDs beyond that. I'll also post "Atum: A Rock Opera in Three Acts" in three different blogs.
I'm going to skip "Vieuphoria", which is essentially a live, greatest hits CD.
Disc one:
1) "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" (Instrumental)":
2) "Tonight, Tonight":
3) "Jellybelly":
4) "Zero":
5) "Here Is No Why":
"The world is a vampire." Indeed it is. 6) "Bullet With Butterfly Wings":
This blog series is exactly what it sounds like. I'll post blogs until I get to 5,000 songs, then once I get to 5000 songs I will start deleting songs to maintain 5,000 songs. I'm then going to outdo that by trying to rank all 5000 songs in order of how much I like them. (Okay I'm no longer even going to attempt that idea.) I decided that last sentence is completely impossible, but I am going to try and rank the songs in someway. I thought about putting them in alphabetical order, but that would be too hard with 294 blogs.

53) After The Fire "Der Kommissar":
54) James Ingram "One Hundred Ways":

This will likely be the newest song out of these 5,000 songs. 66) U2 "Silencio":

As so often I do this blog idea came to me while I was on my walk. I love 80s music and musicians. Also I don't think I have ever done of one of these blogs. I want to focus on solo songs by members of popular 80s bands. Several bands and solo stars popped into my mind. The main question is which bands should I include and not include. I know that David Bowie was in Tin Machine in the 80s, but I can't include him in this blog series. However I've decided to include John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison. Black Sabbath did record two CDs with Black Sabbath in the early 80s, thus I will include him.
I will include most, in not all, songs by the solo artist.

These next two members were both in Genesis. 2) Phil Collins "I Missed Again":

The lead singer in Wham! 4) George Michael "Freedom '90":
The lead singers of respectively Heart and Loverboy. 5) Ann Wilson and Mike Reno "Almost Paradise":
As stated above a singer for Black Sabbath and a few other bands. 6) Ronnie James Dio "Rainbow In The Dark":
Singer and guitarist from The Beatles and Wings. 7) Paul McCartney "Coming Up":
The lead singer from The Power Station. 8) Robert Palmer "Bad Case of Loving You (Doctor, Doctor)":
The singer from the 80s greatest new wave band, The Smiths. 9) Morrissey "Irish Blood, English Heart":

Today at 5:30pm my #8 BYU Cougars welcome #2 ranked Notre Dame. I haven't been this excited for a game for a long time. I'm not going to lie I think Notre Dame is going to win this game, but you never know. That's why they play the games.
More pressure to win is on Notre Dame than BYU. BYU is the home team, that and the altitude will give the Cougs an advantage in regard to those things.
These are songs to pump up the Cougs to get that program defining win. A lot of these songs are songs I've loved for a long time. However I went to several other lists and was able to get additional songs. That's too many other websites to thank. This is one of the sites: https://recording-history.org/hype-songs/
1) Technotronic "Pump Up The Jam":
2) Survivor "Eye of The Tiger":
3) Imagine Dragons "Thunder":
4) Taylor Swift "Ready For It":
