The first time I heard “I’m Shipping Up To Boston” by the Dropkick Murphys was in the 2006 film “The Departed” (which is a great flick btw).
Maybe this isn’t Pearl Jam’s greatest song. But I think it’s their catchiest.
It may take some folks a while to appreciate Nelly Furtado’s voice on this song, it can come off a bit nasally. But she sings with a swagger (and dances the same in the video)
Love and her band Hole were no musical hanger-ons. They had some great songs.
Welcome to my favorite Christmas song.
Talk about putting your stamp on a Christmas song. You didn’t think you were going to get away from here without a Christmas song, did you?
“Wake Up Dolores” is definitely my favorite song by Los Lobos, and is from a fantastic 1992 album, Kiko.
The Dandy Warhols released Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia, and a classic rock song was born.
No, it’s not the David Bowie version.
I love that version as much as anyone. But there’s another artist that has a different take on the song, one that I think deserves attention as well.
I heard Shawn Colvin in the 1990s but I didn’t listen enough. She’s good.
