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…
7.5 There’s a lot of enjoyment to be had in Sonic Heroes. Widely considered to be the last Sonic game before developer Sonic Team took a creative nosedive, Sonic Heroes minimizes the story-based gaming that Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 had developed in favor of more high octane thrills, chills and spills. It also…
Although I am pulling for Smackdown hard in the post-draft WWE environment, their buildup to Backlash and the PPV itself, did not blow me away by any stretch. We’ve got a lot of new champions, which is fine, but who in the world could ever hope to stand against AJ Styles, who is far and…
After the last nice collection of tracks, I continue my journey through Rolling Stone‘s Top 500 Songs of All Time with tracks 490-481 below. 490. “Clocks” – Coldplay (2002) My feelings for “Clocks” have shifted considerably over the years. It was one of the first tracks I ever heard from way before I was a music…
