It was a very busy week for WWE as Smackdown put forth its first exclusive PPV since the brand split, and much more importantly, the much acclaimed Cruiserweight Classic reached its final climax and led to the crowning of the new WWE Cruiserweight Champion. I was rather disappointed with the outcome of the tournament originally,…
450. “I Shot the Sheriff” – Bob Marley (1973) Since I became an instant Bob Marley fan the first time I listened to Legend (like millions of others, probably) “I Shot the Sheriff” was one of my least favorite tunes. It doesn’t retain the easy-listening quality that makes Bob Marley the artist that he was…
B- I love The Beatles. I can’t agree with the notion that they’re the greatest band of all time, but I will say that they’re among them. Their catalog of songs is staggering considering their relatively short window of existence (less than a decade, if you can believe it), and they have created some of the…
460. “My Sweet Lord” – George Harrison (1970) Even though The Beatles were mainly focused on McCartney and Lennon, George Harrison penned some of their greatest work, most notably “Something,” the best track on the acclaimed Abbey Road. But this song, which I had never heard before now, may top them all. This is simply…
We replace the last couple of week’s penchant for movie-related artistry to straight ahead Pop music done right, an ’80s track I don’t hate, a classic from KISS’ best member, and a racial sermon that’s desperately needed in today’s world. “The Blacker the Berry” – Kendrick Lamar A week ago I was talking with my…
After a good first batch, the last 10 tracks weren’t particularly impressive. But as we continue our journey down the list, things should only get better as we move along. 480. “Sabotage” – Beastie Boys (1994) I remember being absolutely blown away the first time I heard this chaotic Punk track. It surprised me; this…
10 weeks of some of the best wrestling in WWE history reaches its climax tonight. There will certainly be fantastic matches and moments as Gran Metalik, Zack Sabre Jr., TJ Perkins and Kota Ibushi vie for the Orange County Chopper-created Cruiserweight Classic Trophy. It should be a great night of wrestling, but first, there’s the…
6.75 From the first time I was introduced to the Sonic franchise through the multi-platform, far-reaching release that was Sonic Heroes, I’ve been a fan of the little blue blur. After playing through Heroes, I sought out the Gamecube ports of both Sonic Adventure games and enjoyed them to varying degrees. The second one, Sonic…
***** By the Spring of 1975, Boston Hard Rock Band Aerosmith had already released two fantastic LPs filled with lip-smacking sexual innuendos, fantastic stereo riffing from guitarists Brad Whitford and Joe Perry, and a caffeinated energy from frontman Steven Tyler. But nothing they had accomplished in their first few years as a commercially successful Rock…
