Country Boy
the conglomeration of blues and funk. blues was always a chill foot tapper and brought out solos and guitar technique, but bring the element of go-go funk makes the groove so ill to vibe to. bringin the soul out!

this is a work in progress... holler at my other journals

Don't Worry, Be Happy Tag:(getting trashed,mellow reggae popor feel good)
If you are upset listen to this song and you will smile.

Alternative Nu-Metal:
Epic (alternative rapcore)
The song begins with a wash of glorious guitars (guitarist Jim Martin) and Mike Bordin's
unstoppable drum bashing, going into a thumping bassline and Mike Patton's energetic, enigmatic rap, launching into that mighty chorus,
with progressive-rock keyboards providing punctuation at moments, then ending with that classical-sounding piano exit...- D.Mok

Alternative Funk Grunge Metal:
Cult Of Personality
Monumental Rock song with Zep-like riffs to the ornette coleman like soloing from Vernon Reid(nothing short of maniacal on the guitar.
Tasteful funky rhythms)

Deep Melancholy Electronic Funk Rock:
Eminence Front
THIS is such a hype song, very deep melancholy very badass, The begging synthesizer that falls into the backround is
very appealing and classic of the who. Then the very standard rock beat hits you. It punches and keeps on trucking throughout the song.

This song is great for a number of things
chillin, partying, escape(escaping reality), intense(intense conversatons/intense meditation/very concious lyrics) you name it...
for me it was great to get shit off my chest(troubles)
for me - My Roomate having being immature about house bills and relationships, not paying the bills for food and then
blowing us off when we ask for money after he eats it. I JUST LEFT THE ROOM and heard this song... its very good for blowwing off steam. And
I could see this helping me out of many problems in the future. It's an escape; and at the same time a wake-up call.

Upbeat hard funk rock. Very badass and to the point.

The LYRICS, "with its ironic condemnation of social pretence and opulent self-delusion: "people forget they're hiding" is still correct. I think
it stands up as something strong and relevant nearly 25 years after release." - Craig Matteson

My favorite line is the first one "The sun shines and people forget." -makes you think how many people watch the sun rise. how many appreciate life.
and vocally his melody on "COME AND JOIN THE PARTY DRESS TO KILL"-how it drops lower and lower


2) OTHER SONGS I HAVE NOT LOOKED NTOO MUCH
