(Finished September 27th, 2026) Part 4 of The 17 Most Intriguing/ Interesting CDs of the November 2025 Classic Rock Magazine: The Cardiacs "LSD"

Hello,

My favorite magazine currently is Classic Rock. I love how many great articles it has and it has the best review section of any magazine. Also it's supposed to be a monthly magazine, but it feels like I get an issue every three weeks. These are the 15 most intriguing/interesting CDs/DVDs.

I'll be using the current tracklists, rather than what the tracklists may have been November of last year. 

I know if you click on the play button the videos don't play. I hate when a song/video only has one picture for most of the songs. Since the videos don't play I try to vary the picture from the video. There aren't a lot of choices for this particular CD. For this blog specifically I varied those pictures as much as I could.

I'm not sure what Classic Rock magazine but I think this CD is terrible. I mean there are a couple of decent songs but for the most part it's a pretty forgettable CD.

(Finished September 24th, 2026) Part 4 of themusicaddict's Mandatory Monday Metallica Blog

Hello,

It's time for a Mandatory Monday Metallica blog, although it's only mandatory on some Mondays. These are the most played Metallica songs on my iTunes. It's not a coincidence that the five most highest played songs are from The Black Album. There are from 313 related to Metallica on my iTunes. These are cover songs, original songs, live tracks and songs from The Metallica Blacklist. 

Just a couple of days ago I found out that Metallica will be coming to my hometown, Salt Lake City. I bought a couple of tickets tonight. This is their setlist from their last show they played at, which was in London, England.

From tape AC/DC "It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)":

(Finished September 20th, 2026) Part 5 of Songs About The One Who Got Away/ Previous Loves

Hello,

This blog is inspired by one of the greatest songs of all-time, Eric Church's "Springsteen", a song about a very memorable relationship that ended. There's no one like that for me, but still each time I hear one of those songs it hits me right in the feels. These songs are those we look back on with nostalgia/ feeling wistful. In other words songs like Alanis Morissette's "You Oughta Know" won't be here. These songs are some of the greatest songs ever. Some may wonder is there a chance to reconcile? Who knows, but I'll include a few of those songs here as well. Also I'll include a few songs about relationships that should be over already. 

69) Guns N' Roses "November Rain":

70) Billy Joel "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant":

71) Brooks and Dunn "Neon Moon":

I love his voice when he sings "moon" in a deep voice. 

72) Fleetwood Mac "Go Your Own Way":

73) REO Speedwagon "Time For Me To Fly":

74) The Gin Blossoms "Hey Jealousy":

75) Rascal Flatts "What Hurts The Most":

76) Jim Croce "Operator (That's Not The Way It Feels)":

77) Lorrie Morgan "Something In Red":

78) Alan Jackson "She's Got The Rhythm (And I Got The Blues)":

79) The Gap Band "You Dropped A Bomb on Me":

A positive song about looking back on a former love, maybe I should say semi-positive. 80) Chicago "If She Would Have Been Faithful":

81) Blink-182 "Dammit":

82) Gavin DeGraw "Not Over You":

83) Jake Owen "The One Who Got Away":

84) Yellowcard "Ocean Avenue":

85) Cher "If I Could Turn Back Time":

(Finished September 13th, 2026) Part 3 of The Best Love Songs Ever

Hello,

This blog series is inspired by the near perfect love song "The Glory of Love" by Peter Cetera. I thought it's time to do another extensive blog series about the all-time best love songs. This is the best love songs, all kinds of songs relating to love and relationships. The sappy ballad, the falling in love/ new love song, the angry/ anti-love song and any related song that fits in between those two moods. The lust, love, hate, reconciliation, tearing apart, the sublime, the waiting, the heartbreak and anything else that goes along with our most complicated emotion.

35) REO Speedwagon "Can't Fight This Feeling":

36) Skid Row "I Remember You":

One of my all-time favorite songs and the song that has my favorite relationship advice. Also a song that will have a permanent spot on my iPod. From "Rent": 37) Cast of "Rent" "La Vie Boheme":

Mimi

Excuse me -- did I do something wrong?
I get invited -- then ignored -- all night long

ROGER
I've been trying -- I'm not lying
No one's perfect. I've got baggage

MIMI
Life's too short, babe, time is flying
I'm looking for baggage that goes with mine

38) Alan Jackson "She's Got The Rhythm and I Got The Blues":

39) Firehouse "Love Of A Lifetime":

40) David Gates "The Goodbye Girl":

41) David Foster: "Love Theme From St. Elmo's Fire For Just A Moment":

42) Melissa Manchester "Looking Through The Eyes of Love":

43) Dan Hartman "I Can Dream About You":

44) Robert Palmer "Simply Irresistible":

45) Alan Campbell and Judy Kuhn "Boy Meets Girl":

Sing it Beyonce!! 46) Beyonce "Listen":

Only 330, 017, 138 views until this classic Blondie song hits one billion YouTube views. This was my favorite song growing up and I still love it. 47) Blondie "Heart of Glass":

48) Alan Jackson "Someday":

I love the sneering attitude of this song, like "is she really going out with him? Really? Him?" 49) "Is She Really Going Out With Him":

50) Rickie Lee Jones "Chuck E's In Love":

51) George Strait "Amarillo By Morning":
