“B” Part 5 of 6

Blue Öyster Cult - “(Don't Fear) The Reaper” from their Agents of Fortune album. Another awesome 80’s hit. Sweet, ear-pleasing guitar rifts throughout.

Blue Suede - “Hooked on a Feeling”, an cover of the BJ Thomas version. I like this one better, it has the ‘ooga, ooga, ooga, chacka’ being chanted in the background.

Blues Traveler - “But Anyway” from their self-titled album and complete Four album. “Hook” is their best-known track, but “But Anyway” and “Run Around” also receive plenty of airtime still.

Bob Dylan - “Hurricane” from his Desire album, “Rainy Day Women #12 & 35” from Forrest Gump soundtrack, and “Jokerman” from Infidels. I know Dylan’s got more good stuff out there, but this is what I like the most. I may search for other stuff later on. “Jokerman” was a free track from Starbucks.

Bob Marley (and the Wailers) - I have the complete albums Africa Unite: The Singles Collection, Exodus, Gold, and Legend. Lots of repeats from the various albums, but never a dull moment with Marley. Great music for just chillin’ with a few friends sippin’ on drinks in the summertime.

Bob Seager - Following singles from various albums and soundtracks: “Turn the Page”, “Shakedown”, “Old Time Rock and Roll”, “Roll Me Away”, and “Against the Wind”. Bob Seager and his Silver Bullet Band sure knew how to rock out back in their heyday.

Bobby Brown - “My Prerogative”. I love this 80’s soulful hit.

Bobby McFerrin - “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” from Simple Pleasures album. A great a cappella ‘lift-you-up’ song.

The BoDeans - Entire Blends and Go Slow Down albums. The BoDeans are a unique group with a unique sound.; they have a folksy mixed with pop rock sound.

Bon Jovi - complete Crossroads, Crush, These Days, and This Left Feels Right - Live albums plus “Who Says You Can’t Go Home” and “Have a Nice Day” from the Have a Nice Day album. Just good ole’ rock music.

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony - “Tha Crossroads” from E 1999 Eternal album. This track is sick with a ‘p-h’ One of the best songs of 1999.

Bonnie Tyler - “Total Eclipse of the Heart” This song has been covered a few times, one being Nikki French. Tyler’s is the slow version, French’s is the dance/pop version. I like the latter much better.

Born in the Flood - “Bella” and “Yes We Can” from their demos put online for free beginning in 2008. Born in the Flood reminds me of a toned-down Rolling Stones. “Bella” is a ballad, while “Yes We Can” is a faster-paced rock track.

Boston - Complete self-titled album, and most of their Don’t Look Back record. Also have the song “Amanda” from my ‘80s Gold compilation album. Boston was one of those great ‘70s/’80s bands that played unforgettable music.

Boston Pops Orchestra - Complete Encore! and A Splash of Pops albums. Under the direction of Keith Lockhart, the Boston Pops has put out multiple albums that are worth purchasing. On the Encore! album, Lockhart conducts a tribute Elvis. How can you not love an orchestra performing “Jailhouse Rock” and “You Ain’t Nothing But a Hound Dog”.

The Bottle Rockets - “Indianapolis” from Fan-demonium (a 5-song sampler I received from Prodigy Internet services. A great strong guitar-influenced rock song that tells the story of a man who ended up stuck in Indianapolis because of a broken fuel-pump in his vehicle. He apparently does not like the city, I don’t either (only because it’s the hometown of the Colts football team).

Bow Wow Wow - “I Want Candy” from the album of the same name. A great ‘80s pop song.

Bowling for Soup - “Girl All the Bad Guys Want” from Drunk Enough to Dance album and “Ohio (Come Back to Texas)” and “Almost” from A Hangover You Don’t Deserve album. Bowling for Soup is a great soft punk band with shallow lyrics, but that’s ok, they are still worth a listen.

Box Car Racer - Entire self-titled album. This band is amazing, simply put. Box Car Racer is Blink-182’s Travis Barker and Tom DeLonge’s side project. The quartet, comprised of Barker and DeLonge along with David Kennedy and Anthony Celestino, sounds similar like Blink, but the lyrics are on a different level. Apparently, DeLonge wrote the songs, but felt they were too serious for Blink, so here you go. DeLonge is still playing the microphone with those easily-distinguishable vocals, but there is just a new flavor here to savor. The project has served its purpose and is now permanently dead.

Boys Like Girls - Entire self-titled album. A fairly new group on the scene, they offer a fresh sound to modern rock.

Boyz II Men - Entire Cooleyhighharmony and II albums. Soul and R&B at its finest. I want to get up and dance every time I hear “Motownphilly”.

Brad Paisley - “Celebrity” from Mud on the Tires and the complete Time Well Wasted album. Country music from this century. Paisley has a few decent songs, “Celebrity” and “Alcohol” to name a few.

Brave Saint Saturn - Complete So Far From Home album. Sometimes BSS reminds me of Five Iron Frenzy and at other times, the Newsboys. A Christian band with their own niche.

Brian Johnson - “Revival Generation”, “You Are So Beautiful”, and “Broken for You” from Undone album. Johnson is a part of the worship team at Bethel Church in Redding, California.

Brian Jonestown Massacre - “Let's Pretend that It's Summer” from H20 American Eagle Summer Sampler. A cheesy, synthesized track with a tambourine used heavily.

Brian McComas - “99.9% Sure (I’ve Never Been Here Before)” from his self-titled album. A slick and quick-paced country song.

Brian McKnight - Complete Back at One and U-Turn albums. Great R&B albums. I received Back at One from an ex as “Back at One” was ‘our song’. U Turn is not as quality as Back at One, but that is my opinion.

Brian Setzer Orchestra - Complete The Dirty Boogie album. A staple for any contemporary swing fan. Best known for “Jump Jive an’ Wail”.
