“Come On” – Green River Ordinance

Currently in the Top 20 on Billboard, “Come On” is your standard rock song. There isn’t anything revolutionary about it, but it has a catchy tune that you can’t help humming and the chorus stays with you long after the song is over.

“All For Love” – Serena Ryder

Ryder’s distinctive voice makes this folk-rock song. For those who need a comparison, think of her as a cross between Melissa Etheridge and Bruce Springsteen. Yes, she’s that good.

“Be Set Free” – Langhorne Slim

The slow, melodic-folk beat makes “Be Set Free” the type of song you can listen to regardless of the mood you’re in. This 29-year-old sings with the experience of an old-time rocker. If his album of the same title is half as good as this track, then get it.

“Pat a Pan” – Mannheim Steamroller

From their chart topping 25th anniversary collection, “Pat a Pan” is reminiscent of the sounds of Christmas and for the Neopagan in you that celebrates Winter Solstice. Essentially, it’s this band’s usual fare, only toned down. If you’re in the mood for New Age holiday music, then give this a try.

“Molalatladi” – BLK JKS

South African rock? Yes, you can believe that BLK JKS can rock. At first, the music sounds disjointed, but give it a chance. Eventually, you’ll get into the rhythm of it, particularly the long guitar solo that leads into a slower beat, mixed with a multilayered harmony at the end.

“Final Frontier” – RJD2

From the 2002 album DeadRinger, “Final Frontier” featuring Blueprint (with the voice sample of Evelyn Champagne King from the song “The Show is Over”) will remind you of old school rap, where there were two turn tables, an infectious beat and rhymes that weaved a lyrical adventure.

“Think I Need It Too” – Echo & The Bunnymen

This middle-of-the-road chart single is in tandem with the type of song it is. It’s punk-rock light with no edge. “Think I Need It Too” sounds as if it wants to be an early INXS song (Think “I Need You Tonight”); instead, it comes off as background music that you want to turn down.
