I found out that Eric Heideman will be opening for ZZ Top when I go see them on May 3rd. That will be here in lovely Salt Lake. It seems that Heideman is a Salt Lake Resident so it will be easy travel for him. Here are a few of his songs before we move onto some other great Blues musicians. Blues is one of the genres that don't get enough respect. Respect the Blues!!

Since I've been sharing countdowns from 1984 and listening to all those great songs again, I thought I would post a series of blogs with the greatest songs of 1984.
Notable events of 1984 include the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, Steve Jobs launches the Mac in a world of primitive PCs, this commercial:
"Purple Rain"- all that incredible music and a dopey movie- Geraldine Ferraro, Tetris, "Footloose", "Sixteen Candles" (which also means the lovely Molly Ringwald, "Ghostbusters", Eddie Murphy, the first MTV Video Music Awards, "Do They Know It's Christmas" and Marvin Gaye is killed.
Best movies of 1984 include those mentioned above, "The Terminator", "Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom", "Gremlins", "Beverly Hills Cop", "The Karate Kid", "1984" (of course), "Top Secret", "The Natural" (still a great movie), "Revenge of the Nerds" and "Splash".

I'm only seeing this now. Yesterday was My Chemical Romance front man's, Gerard Way's, birthday. He turned 46 years old, I was surprised to learn he's that old. Thanks to you and those you work with for all the great music. Here are several of Gerard Way's best songs in any grouping.
Arguably the greatest CD since the turn of the century is "The Black Parade", that explains why the list below is made up of a majority of songs from that CD.
Looking for a Sunday themed blog for this Sunday, thus it's pop/rock and country songs with some religious references. Sorry no sappy songs, I'm looking at you "Jesus Take The Wheel". Some of these songs are more religious than others.

On Friday a friend of mine and me are going to go see a Depeche Mode tribute band Strangelove A Depeche Mode Experience. They do a pretty good facsimile of Depeche Mode, they have the thumping dance sound down. So I'm very excited to see them Friday night. However why does the concert have to start at 9:00, a large percentage of Depeche Mode are a bit old. If you can't see the actual Depeche Mode you could do a lot worse than seeing these guys.
Back to the real Depeche Mode, here are their musicaddict approved 20 greatest hits:
1) "Just Can't Get Enough":
2) "Everything Counts":
3) "People Are People":
4) "Master and Servant":
5) "Blasphemous Rumors":
6) "Stripped":
7) "A Question of Lust":
8) A Question of Time":
9) "Strangelove":
10) "Never Let Me Down Again":
11) "Behind The Wheel":
12) "Little 15":
13) "Personal Jesus":
When great lyrics, great music and thumping music all work together you have songs such as this gem. 14) "Enjoy The Silence":
Looking for a Sunday themed blog for this Sunday, thus it's pop/rock and country songs with some religious references. Sorry no sappy songs, I'm looking at you "Jesus Take The Wheel". Some of these songs are more religious than others.
