Peter Gabriel

Fleetwood Mac

A tune where Lindsey Buckingham gets to show off some guitar firepower.

Fernando Viciconte (with Luther Russell)

This track reminds me a lot of the early Drive By Truckers music I liked so much.

Dim Gray

Rest in Peace, Roberta Flack

The Black Crowes Cover the Stones

I love this collection of prime 70's cuts.

Patterson Hood

Brand new music from the Drive-By Trucker.

Nuno Bettencourt and Friends

An awesome version of Heart's "Barracuda".

Steven Wilson

Solo music from the Porcupine Tree founder.

Everclear

A great little tune about a couple having a fight.

Paul McCartney

A wonderful performance during the SNL 50th anniversary show.

Cinderella

Capital Cities Covers Pink Floyd

Hegseth's Army

Normally I don't really care for A.I. enhanced satire. But in Pete's case, I'll make an exception!

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

An awesome deep cut from 1982.

Normalized

Very topical sci-fi, horror and dark fantasy tales. Free digitally if you have Kindle Unlimited (written under the name James Hawthorne).

The Mommyheads

Sily band name, good tune.

My Morning Jacket

Bob Mould

Somebody I've really been getting into the past couple of years. Reminds me of Pete Townshend with a bit more guitar firepower.

Be Bop Deluxe

A very cool English band that fit in a lot of musical categories.

Dream Theater

Brand new music.

Led Zeppelin

FYI, there's a new documentary about the band in theatres currently.

Utopia

Sadly, history has a habit of repeating.

Andy Summers and Robert Fripp

A Policeman and a King Crimsonite, back in the day.

Michael McDonald

Icefish Covers Rush

The Wallflowers Cover Bowie

A track off the 1998 "Godzilla" movie soundtrack.

New music. Nice and smooth.
