In A World Of Human Wreckage----GUILTY PLEASURES Part DEUX

GUILTY PLEASURES part two (late 90s and early 2000s)


Here is the latest installment of Guilty Pleasures and this involves the late 90s and early 2000s.  This was around the time I had just gotten married and had my first kid, a boy so I was going through some serious life issues and music helped me through.  We also moved from New Orleans to Houston which was a HUGE move for me.  Some of these songs ROCK and some you might hate but remember they are MY choices and all have some kind of meaning in my life......many bands such as Slipknot, Disturbed, Foo Fighters and INCUBUS are missing, but here is ONE song that STILL rocks.....





Disturbed - Rise (2002)




 .....and while I am not very big on the post grunge/alternative metal of this time....there are some gems here....ROCK THE FUCK ON!!

After that, here are some fucking UNDERRATED CLASSICS by Days Of The New, Audiovent and Dishwalla...





Days Of The New - The Downtown (1997)














Audiovent - The Energy (2002)


















Dishwalla - Charlie's Brown Parents (1995)

the next song has HUGE meaning in my life....lost my dad in 1996 and was in love with future wife when I heard this.....fantastic song....


Dishwalla - Once In A While (1998)

And my mind is crushed by the thrashing waves 
Lift me up so high that I cannot fall"

 Ok so you have hopefully figured out that I have a warped music library since I go from Rock to Rap to Dance to Oldies to even maybe Country.  But whatever the case I have your interest and I thank you for it.  I have always said if my music in the order I arrange it gives you that tingle down low, my job is done.

My music is NOT for everyone and not all of you like what I like, but I just like to share what music gets me in that special place.  MUSIC is the only form that can touch you in places that you never thought existed.   Think of the FIRST time you were at a concert and the music just punched you in the chest or you caught yourself grinning and had no idea why.   And obviously, the pot has a lot to do with it.  Not all bands have this kind of power but bands like Tool, Rage Against The Machine and Phish come to mind.  The kind of concert that you went to not expecting much, but left a FAN.

Enough talking as I just felt like throwing out a bunch of songs that have touched me either by making me laugh hysterically at them or reminding me of a time good or bad in my life.  And some of these songs helped me get through some rough times in my life so if you laugh or make fun, I will kill you. I'm just kidding but I will hurt you with words.  Everyone is entitled to an opinion.  I hope you get a laugh at some of these or even a good reminder of past things....You will also see some repeats from past blogs but I like them so much they have to be HERE of course....

and they are MY guilty pleasures so you might not get the same effect .......and plan on this thing going sideways with being a bunch of different songs all together in one place....

HERE GOES...and look out for CLASSICS by Stevie B, Doug E Fresh and Sammy Johns (TRUST ME they are sing alongs)
______________________________________________________
BECAUSE I FUCKING LOVE THIS STILL....


Sammy Johns - Chevy Van (1975)

You will hear me singing this in my car as loud as possible as it is just a great feel good song.....

______________________________________________________


This song reminds me of my good friends sitting around on a afternoon just having drinks and smokes shooting shit ....

Former Lead Singer of Squeeze known better for "Tempted" and Mike and The Mechanics.  This song just reminds me of second year of college when we would get ready for school, if you can believe I went to class, and it would always be on....

This song has one of the most recognizable beats ever....TIMELESS....TURN IT UP and DANCE!!!!


CLASSIC !!!!!_____________________________________________________

Reminds me of growing up in New Orleans in 80s but more importantly driving around New Orleans after Katrina looking at all devastation, but still being able to laugh with my good friend Mike C.....

I can still remember sitting in my friend Gavin's Honda Prelude in Doc's parking lot at LSU at 2am with this as LOUD as possible and just a time to remember....LOVE THIS FUCKING SONG

COUNTRY MUSIC ALERT!!!

Here are 4 guilty pleasure songs.....I am not a Country Music fan but here are the songs that have touched me in one way or another in my life....

ITS MY LIST and each one of these songs reminds me of a time in college so take it or leave it....




Working in the oil and gas industry you have some good times with good people...and Kenny is HUGE Saints fan so he gets points from me




LSU .....that is all





1989 Army in Augusta, Georgia and all I wanted to do was get back to college at LSU.....great times and good music

_____________________________________________________


Say what you want about the Indigo Girls but this album is a staple of my first year at LSU....and there is a LIVE version of this song with Michael Stipe from REM that just blows me away


_____________________________________________________


Reminds me of meeting my future wife in New Orleans.....a year after my Dad passed away so it has a weird special place in my life....and it makes me laugh like the Stevie B song for some unknown reason.....


SEE BELOW FOR BONUS!!!



_____________________________________________________





Creed - My Own Prison (1997)


see above as 1997 was a turning point in my life and I could either go up or down....and I chose to go UP....this song is SO FUCKING POWERFUL by them....the only good album by them....
_____________________________________________________



Fuel  - Shimmer (1998)


Driving to Talladega Alabama for my FIRST NASCAR race and this song was popular at the time....I had just gotten engaged so nothing was going to make me unhappy.....CLASSIC!!!












This quote was below video "What a great time to be young and in love...

This song brings me back to warm summer nights under the stars, laying on the hood of my first car, this song on the radio, me and my girl, looking up at the sky, talking, planning, dreaming, and most of all, just being in each others arms...
My heart aches for that moment again, all these years later...
Love the one you're with with all your heart every day, because in the blink of an eye they could be gone. Cherish every second..."_____________________________________________________



Creed - Overcome (2009)



I still like this song....FUCK IT and it was filmed in Houston at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavillion where I have seen Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and RUSH....so it rocks




_____________________________________________________


CHEERS!!!!....NOW ONCE AGAIN I couldn't cover every ONE but these are MY Guilty Pleasures NOT yours but you are free to add you own...
