MUSIC / ROCK / THE TALKING HEADS
I give you one of the greatest LIVE performances ever caught on film. David Byrne and The Talking Heads perform their iconic 80's song "Life During Wartime". This clip is from their full length movie entitled "STOP MAKING SENSE", one of my all time favorites.
Can't tell you have many times I've listened to this song, as I never get tired of it.

MUSIC / ROCK & ROLL / PINK FLOYD
Perhaps the greatest rock & roll album of all time is Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon", one of many great albums that came out of the early 70's. Pink Floyd was nice enough to re-master the album and put it on YouTube for our FREE listening enjoyment!
I'm lucky enough to own a six-channel master recording on SACD (super audio compact disc) of this album that is incredibly fun to listen to, as it makes use of six speaker, each speaker getting it's own signal, or channel. Thankfully, I have a small home theater setup that works great for that sort of thing.
This remaster seems to be just two channels, but it's worth directing it to a high quality stereo system.
MUSIC / ROCK & ROLL / BLACK BETTY
One of the most celebrated rock songs of the 70's, "Black Betty" is just an old blues tune given the rock & roll treatment. But it works!
MUSIC / ROCK & ROLL / REACTION VIDEOS
"No Life Shaq" has 4 MILLION followers on YouTube. All he does is reaction videos to music he's not heard before. This video of him listening to "Black Betty" for the first time is why is has 4 million followers.
MUSIC / ROCK / METAL
Just when I thought rock and roll was completely and totally dead, this happens.
For the first time in three decades, a rock & roll tune that doesn't suck!
The best part: the guitar solo.
