Here's this week's playlist:
"You're So Square (Baby, I Don't Care)" - Cee Lo Green: Cee Lo isn't the first person you think of when you think of rock n' roll, but here he gives us a faithful interpretation of a Buddy Holly classic.
"Bad Romance" - Halestorm: This Grammy-winning metal band covers Lady Gaga.
"Lonely Boy" - The Black Keys: A popular single from their most recent album, El Camino.
"Every Teardrop is a Waterfall" - Coldplay: The first single from Mylo Xyloto.
"Dog Days Are Over" - Vicci Martinez: Cee Lo's The Voice season one finalist. I actually prefer her vocals on this song over Florence + The Machine (blasphemy!)
"(You Will) Set the World On Fire" - David Bowie: Destined to be a future single from Bowie's new album.
"Smokin'" - Anthrax: An excellent Boston cover.
"Energy" - SuperHeavy: A very upbeat track from a supergroup consisting of Mick Jagger, Joss Stone, Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics, Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley, and A.R. Rachman.
"Everybody Wants You" - Puddle of Mudd: A grungey hard rock take on Billy Squier.
