Five Songs You Must Hear... #3

From the hierachy and class of the hometown of Radiohead in Oxford to the ghetto famous for raising one of the most influential rap artists this side of the mellenium, Ludacris. Here is the 'five songs you must listen to' post. Worship now.


#1: Apollo 440 - Stop The Rock

This track was featured on the FIFA 2000 soundtrack, and it remains to this day once of my favourite bolts of genius from the break-beat era. Its upbeat almost indie chords and contrasting dark lyrics, make this track insanely addictive.






#2: Radiohead - No Surprises

Possibly the most accessible song Radiohead has ever produced. 'No Surprises' is taken from the lankmark 1997 album 'OK Computer', it reached #4 in the UK singles chart. Even at the young age of 8, I could still appreciate the timeless quality of music production in this track.




#3: Muse - Hysteria

Absolutely mammoth tune from Muse and their multi-platinum third album 'Absolution'. This song can be compared to the climax of sex like no other in the world that I know. The first 20 seconds alone are likely to leave you with extreme withdrawal symptoms.






#4: Ludacris - Eyebrows Down

As the king of punk-rap, Ludacris delivered a timeless anthem with the penultimate song of his album 'Chicken-n-Beer'. I regard it to be his best work. This track talks about his increased fame, life changes and the reasons behind him changing record labels to Def Jam.



#5: DJ Tiesto - Adagio for Strings

The world's best DJ may be getting on a bit these days, but back in his prime he took the relatively unknown song originally composed by Samuel Barber and turned it into a global club phenomenon. Witnessing his brilliance on the decks is something of a natural wonder in the musical world.
