In A Metal Mood: No More Mr. Nice Guy - Pat Boone
Ever wonder who could perform songs like Smoke on the Water, Enter Sandman, Crazy Train, and Stairway to Heaven even BETTER than the original artists? Look no further than this album of unending fury and flight. In 3000 years when explorers are looking through artifacts of this time there will be several things that speak of the 21st Century...this being one of those things.

Aarons Party (Come and Get It) - Aaron Carter
Highlight of this album is the track How I Beat Shaq....here's a sample...
Hit It!
Aaron's in the house
Come on
Get up get up
I wanna make it bounce
Here we go
Aaron's in the house
Get up get up
Aaron's in the house
Yo guys, check it out
Guess what happened to me
(Another crazy story, come on AC)
I was hanging at the court
Just playing some ball
Working on my game
(Yeah, we heard it all)
I heard the fans screaming
I thought it was for me
But then I saw a shadow
It was 12 foot 3
It was Shaquile O'Neal
(What? What did he say?)
(How 'bout some one-on-one, do you wanna play?)
I told him why not, I got some time
But when I beat you real bad
Try not to cry
(Please Aaron, are you for real?)
(One-on-one with Shaquile O'Neal?)
Yeah, 34 Centre from the L.A. Lakers
(You must've been nervous)
I knew I could take him
Stared' at Shaq, psyche him out
I said O'Neal, you're in my house now
Start the game the whistle blows
Pay attention close 'cause the story goes...
If you thought Bohemian Rhaspody was ingenius use of lyrics, it ain't got nothing on this masterpiece.

5 life changing record albums...
...5...life...changing...record...albums...albums. ..changing...record...5...life...albums...changing ...life...
Nope, I'm sorry...I can't conceive of one...much less five record albums that changed my life in any significant way...or in any insignificant way...I mean the first time I heard The Great Gates of Kiev from Mussorgsky's Pictures At An Exhibition, which was on a freebie Mercury compilation disk, I realized there was more to classical music than The 1812 Overture and Rossini's Hi-yo Silver. That along with discovering Frank Zappa may have affected my taste in music and buying habits to some degree but, life changing?
Births, deaths, marriages, new jobs, house buying, sickness...these are what I would call life changing things...
