60: Moving
One of the things I dislike most in my life is moving -- I don't like packing, moving or unpacking. I don't like moving myself or helping others move anymore. So I guess it's somewhat odd that I chose this as a topic...
1. The Kinks - I Gotta Move
2. Wire - Start To Move
3. Beastie Boys - The Move
4. The Jam - I've Changed My Address
5. The Smiths - Back To The Old House

59: Sklash
This episode features The Clash's reggae influences, including their covers of Junior Murvin's "Police & Thieves" and Coxsone Dodd's "Armagideon Time".
(And yes, I realize that The Clash was influenced by reggae and not specifically ska, but it made for a better title since 35% of all ska bands begin with "Sk-"...)
1. (White Man) in Hammersmith Palais
2. Police & Thieves
3. The Guns of Brixton
4. Armagideon Time
5. Revolution Rock

3. Stuart and the Ave.
4. Fashion Victim
5. Take Back

54: Rap Influences
For this episode, I selected some songs that had a large impact on the formation of rap music. From Kraftwerk's influence on electro and funk, Herbie Hancock's "Rockit" (which spawned almost as many DJ's as the Beatles' Ed Sullivan appearance spawned bands), Art Of Noise's sampling, and of course often-sampled beats like "Funky Drummer" and "The Big Beat".
1. Kraftwerk - Trans-Europe Express
2. Herbie Hancock - Rockit
3. Art Of Noise - Beat Box
4. James Brown - Funky Drummer
5. Billy Squire - The Big Beat

52: Guitar Hero Wish List
I recently got Guitar Hero for my birthday, and I'm totally hooked (as a combined music nerd/video game geek should be). I'd have a hard time picking songs I would want to be in the game, but here are five by bands that (I think) have not made it into any of the various versions of GH.
1. The Ventures - Slaughter On Tenth Avenue
2. Bad Brains - I Against I
3. Samiam - Viewpoint
4. Quicksand - Unfulfilled
5. Man or Astro-man? - Interstellar Hardrive
