There's More Where That Came From


Discussion: Albums That Define A Decade

Each decade’s culture consists of what happened in politics, movies, fashion, television, economics, social issues, and music; along with many other factors. There are hundreds of pages on the web discussing what certain things defined a certain decade. While most of the time most people can’t come to an agreement, it’s always interesting to see how each person viewed that decade and what they felt really had an impact on people during that time.

One of the more debated about topics is about what music really impacted the decade. And related to this is usually discussion about some of the top albums of the decade. While the discussion today isn’t about the best albums of the decade, since many of the best albums are usually and unfortunately, left out of the mainstream; But instead on a certain album you feel really left an impact on the majority of people during that time. Which to some may mean how many times it went platinum, but for this discussion you can put other factors into the mix as well.

When people look back at the 80’s they usually reference Micheal Jackson’s Thriller, but did Madonna’s Like A Virgin or Bruce Springsteen’s Born In The U.SA. have the same amount of impact? Were the 90’s all about Nirvana’s Nevermind? Shania Twain’s Come On Over? Britney Spears …Baby One More Time?! Or another completely different album? And what album do you feel is the biggest of the 2000’s?

So go ahead and list what you feel was the album that defined each decade. You can list runner-ups as well, and feel free to go back as far as you want :D Have fun!



Happy Valentines Day!

I hope everyone is having a happy Valentines Day. Some readers might have noticed that I took down the two Top 10 Love Song entries for Alan Jackson and Trisha Yearwood. The reason for this is mostly because I was busy with school this week, and I figured it might be easier if I do the series next year, and that way I have more time to edit and make changes to future posts.

 
Now, since it’s Valentines, I figured I’d post some of my favorite love songs, considering GAC did a crappy Top 20 countdown. Seriously, who believes that viewers voted Shelton’s “Home” video as the Number One love song? And how can Shania’s “You’re Still The One” not even be on the list? I smell something fishy.

 
So to get my mind of that train wreck, here are some videos you will hopefully enjoy.

If you caught on to my words above, it’s no shocker that one of my favorite love songs is Shania’s “You’re Still The One” from her Come On Over album. P.S. Doesn’t the video make you wish you were living on that beach forever?

Next up is Maroon 5 with “She Will Be Loved”. I don’t know what it is about this song but it always brings me back to the summer of 2004.

What’s a Valentine’s day without “My Heart Will Go On” by Celine.

We can’t forget Tim & Faith’s hit “It’s Your Love” from ‘97.

We need the Chicks to come spice things up with “Cowboy Take Me Away”.

Add some of Garth Brooks with “If Tommorow Never Comes”

I’m a sucker for this one:

Figure I had some pop/rock to the mix:

And I think Whitney can end out the night with this homerun.
