You've probably heard the song Loser before (and I know at least you have, Vertigo22) but this song is much different, even though it's by the same guy.

How does he do it, you may ask?

I don't know, Beck is just great at doing a wide variety of genres.

Blue Moon by Beck Hansen (But he just goes by Beck.) From the winner of the Grammy for Album of the year for 2014, Morning Phase.

We're at ten! That's only 1/100 of where Vertigo22's at! Yay?...

Oh Jacki...What took you so long?

Heartbeat City by the Cars from the 1984 album also called Heartbeat City.

The noise electric never stops.

Because it's fun.

(However, I have seen others do weird things before, so I thought I'd just take it to the next level.)

Yeah, that title was clickbait.

Any suggestions for edits? I'm wide open.

Oh boy am I excited to share this one.
So, to have heard of this band before, you basically have to be part of one of these three specific groups:

1. An Australian fan of indie rock in the 90's.
2. A fan (or former fan) of the gosh immensely popular show "Bluey".
3. Someone who's literally already checked them out via my music recommendation master list.

The Beatles.
A band who literally needs no introduction whatsoever.
I used to be one of those folks who disliked them simply because of their massive popularity.
What an outrageous fool I was.

Nowhere Man by the Beatles, from the 1965 album Rubber Soul.

Swamp rock. Seems like a weird name for a genre, but if you've heard of it at all, pretty much only one band really comes to mind.

(And even if you haven't heard of "swamp rock" you've surely heard a song by Creedence Clearwater Revival before.)

All hail Nightmare Moon.

Bad Moon Rising by CCR, from the 1969 album Green River.

Want some decent, pretty much standard alternative rock from 1996?

Here ya go.

King of New Orleans by Better than Ezra, from the album Friction, Baby.

If you want to know things about me other than the music I like, go here: About Me.

I like a lot of music, and MLP: FiM (fan works, specifically) actually got me started on getting more interested in it, as well as directly introducing me to some of these bands.

If you are interested, here's some artists you should check out (if you're not already familiar with them.)

Just a disclaimer: I'm pretty sure the song's not even supposed to be offensive.

(And this isn't a Parental Advisory warning or anything like that, but you'll see.)

Mongoloid by Devo. (From the 1978 album Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!)

Mmmm...that drum intro...

It's not a pepsi ad...
It's not the Beach Boys...
It's something better...
Something wonderful...

Brian Wilson by Barenaked Ladies, from the 1992 album, Gordon.

I'm serious, I love this song. It's great.

Don't do drugs people.

The band with the best-selling album of all time in the US, and the second best-selling album of all time in the entire world is the Eagles.

While not my favorite band by any means, you can tell by listening to the album in question, Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975), that the reason they sold so many copies is pretty obvious.

Ready a room at the Hotel Californ...

Hey there, friends and followers of mine, as well as you randos who just clicked on this page. Yes, I see you there, and I don't mind.

Heck, I made this blog post so that people can get to know me more, so you're in the right place. (It gets more interesting after my random things that I like, but I'd still like you to read those, please.)

And RainbowDash2012 says to tell you that I, Tape Deck, am AWESOME. Fine by me.

Hey RainbowDash2012.
I remember us both saying we liked 80's music a lot.

The Plastic Age by the Buggles.
(The video was edited together from some different promos, with maybe some extra images I think, by someone on YouTube.)

Remember CCR a few days ago?

Yeah...Deep Purple's another band that Anthropology directly introduced to me.

<sigh> What can I say but the truth?

They're pretty amazing. Of course I could put Smoke on the Water here, but that's not my favorite song from the only album I have of theirs, Machine Head. (Released in 1972.)

That designation has to go to:

(Have to skip a cd, as I haven't listened to it yet)

Beat Box (Diversion 1) by The Art Of Noise, from the 1984 album Who's Afraid of the Art of Noise.

It basically sounds like a remix from the 80s, but it's more of an original song not based on anything in particular, and it's also very weird.

But a good weird.

I love all the references to the geography of the coastline of the New England states in this song.

The Downeaster Alexa by Billy Joel, from the 1989 album Storm Front

Y'know what, I'm gonna take like nine days and pick a song from most of the Electric Light Orchestra albums that I have (but not all of them).

I hope by next Thursday you'll have understood completely why this is necessary.

Eheheh... Favorite Band Time.

Dreaming of 4000 by ELO from the 1973 album On the Third Day, their third album.

Directly inspired by Vertigo22's Daily Dose of Music series, with his permission.
Go check his out as well.

I'll probably go through all the bands I own an album from alphabetically once, and then randomly from there.

Ah, yes we come to what I deem to be my "favorite" (hard air quotes there) ELO song.

I mean, there's probably others I like just as much (and I truly enjoy all of their songs) but there's just something special about this one.
It also helps that this song reminds me greatly of Past Sins, but that's a story for another day.
