Rush Rocks! And Neil Peart is one of the best drummer of all time! "Permanent Waves" marks the bands big commercial success and is one of the more recognizable hit albums for the band. Released in 1980 "Permanent Waves" had some huge hits. "The Spirit of Radio" is the first one to come to mind. "Freewill" is another track that helped make this album a true rock classic. If you are new to Rush this is a great album to sink your teeth into. Crank it up!***

Download: "You Forgot It In People"
by Broken Social Scene for $1.99 at AmazonSince the release of Feel Good Lost, Toronto music collective Broken Social Scene became a bit more collective, swelling from two members to ten (plus guests). As you'd expect with such a dramatic rise in membership, there's a lot more variety this time out -- the first two tracks are a case in point; in fact, the first track is a fairly airy instrumental number with a Mark Isham-like feel, but track two slams it off the rails with a driving beat and wailing guitars. Main members Brendan Canning and Kevin Drew even sing this time around (on "Cause=Time" Drew sounds almost like J Mascis); Leslie Feist and Emily Haines take their turns on other tracks. According to one of the members of this incarnation of the group, trying to determine "who did what" on this album would be almost an entire review in itself, as everyone took turns playing different instruments on different tracks and the whole thing was built from the ground up in a very collective fashion. Although listeners who found the first Broken Social Scene release a nice ambient pop treat may be put off by this one's all-over-the-map approach, it's certainly a much more accessible release overall and there's bound to be something in here that you'll enjoy.

Download: "Exodus" by Bob Marley for $1.99 on AmazonBob Marley is one of the most universally loved world musicians that ever lived. Something about his music is so timeless and again I will use the term universal. Bob Marley and the Wailers legitimized Reggae and became the most recognized fixture for the Reggae movement. "Exodus" was released on June 3, 1977 and is widely accepted as one of Bob Marley's greatest albums. Songs of note are "Natural Mystic", "Exodus", "Jamming", and the list goes on. Even if you own some of Bob Marley's greatest hits albums you should still think about owning this particular album. At $1.99 for the entire album download you have very few excuses.
