my current CD listening

What has been spinning lately in my truck CD player & my iTunes at work? Read on..

The youtube clips for these are all pretty crappy video quality, but the sound quality is slightly less crappy. Slightly.

Keane - Under The Iron Sea
This CD has really grown on me lately. I started out just liking one song on the CD (Hamburg Song) but now I like most of the songs. I can't place my finger on what I like about Under the Iron Sea so much. I just put it down to them being a British band. Brit pop/rock is cool.



The Darkness - Permission to Land
Ahh, catsuits. If you want an over the top ode to classic rock/hair bands give this a listen. Beware, the CD is a bit F-bomb heavy. It has some killer guitar parts and outrageous falsetto vocals. The band doesn't take themselves too seriously. Just crank it, and if you're like me you'll start grinning. Goofy fun. Also British I might add...


Here is their Christmas song (yes, they have a Christmas song)



Dierks Bentley - Dierks Bentley
I'm a bit late on Dierks' debut album, but oh well. I really liked Modern Day Drifter so I went back and gave this album a listen. More good stuff. Dierks and Brad Paisley are my favorites as far as country music goes. Brad for the guitar playing and Dierks for the vocals. Alot of these songs are about love lost and life on the road. I know, the staples of country music (and alot of other music too I guess).



AC/DC - Back in Black
This album has some of AC/DC's biggest hits on it. Back in Black, You Shook Me All Night Long, etc. I don't have much to say about AC/DC other than their songs all kinda sound the same. It is pretty much just variations on the same song type. Oh but they sure know how to rock out that one song. My favorite song on this album is Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution.

This song isn't on Back in Black, but I couldn't find a good youtube vid from "back in the day" before the replacement singer.
