25 Songs Everyone Should Try!

1. Lee Ryan - Lee Ryan_II
Stand Up As People by Lee Ryan




Lee Ryan, the youngest member of the British boy-band Blue, sang this beautiful song. It's worth a try even if you don't / didn't like Blue!

2. Avenged Sevenfold - Avenged Sevenfold
Buried Alive by Avenged Sevenfold




Granted, I've never been a major fan of A7X but this song, particularly the amazing intro, is making me having second thoughts. Great though, has meaning and has great vocals by M. Shadows!

3. The Essential Michael Jackson - Michael Jackson
Heal The World by Michael Jackson




This song has pretty much remained in the shadows while Billie Jean, Thriller & Beat It hog the limelight but how can one dislike a great song like this? This showed MJ's other side: The caring side!

4. Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow - Rainbow
Man On The Silver Mountain by Rainbow



Ronnie James Dio (r.i.p) was a legend of his own. Hardly matched and his great vocals are brilliantly showcased in this classic rock song. I never really did like any of Ritchie Blackmore's solo stuff but in this case, Rainbow is a band to watch out!

5. Legend: The Best of Bob Marley & the Wailers - Bob Marley & the Wailers
Buffalo Soldier by Bob Marley




Released after his death, Buffalo Soldier deserves to be ranked in the same page as I Shot The Sheriff, Redemption Song and No Woman, No Cry!

6. The Very Best of the Eagles (2CD) - Eagles
Busy Being Fabulous




It's funny that the song was released for YouTube yet I cannot find a video. This a cover, mind. Anyways, this song is second only to Hotel California and Joe Walsh's guitar playing is unique in the original song!

7. Captain Jack - Captain Jack
Soldier Soldier by Captain Jack




The 90's may have been the birth of Marky Mark, ugly music and downright wannabes, but It also gave us one of the best feel-good, party song of all time!

8. Because of the Times - Kings of Leon
Charmer by Kings Of Leon




KOL got major mainstream success with their album, Only By The Night, but rewind 1 year and you got Because Of The Times. This song, Charmer is almost like the 21 century answer to Kingsmen's Louie Louie!

9. Stage Fright - The Band
Cocaine Girl by Stage Fright




Note: Do you know that you can find ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about this band? I mean, seriously, this is such a raw sound song akin to The Stooges and there is nothing on this band on the internet at all. Even the icon I've selected is a name of an album by the 60's giant THE BAND!

This has become my favourite song at the moment! Please, make more!!!

10. Gothic Kabbalah - Therion
Gothic Kabbalah by Therion




A rocking intro, great vocals and a hair-raising solo is what makes Gothic Kabbalah one of the best rock songs ever. I've never heard much of their material but this song may want you to listen to more Therion!

11. No Angel - Dido
Thank You by Dido




It's a beautiful song and a great video. You may have heard the opening in Stan by Eminem

Alright,great stuff but Avenged Sevenfold is the most disgusting excuse for a "heavy metal" band ever.

Dido's thank you, has a special place in my heart for my sister sara who is also on here, when I hear that song I think of her., and how she helps me to this day out of the worst of days.
