“S” Part 4 of 4

Stereofuse - “I’m In Love” from All That Remains and “Everything” from their self-titled album.
Steve - “M” from Set Apart 2. I find it interesting that an artist chose to go by one name and that he has a song entitled “M”.

Steve Holy - “Good Morning Beautiful” from Blue Moon. Sappy country ballad.

Steve Martin - “King Tut” from A Wild and Crazy Guy. Yes, Steve Martin the well-known actor sings as well. I was surprised just like you are. The song comes off of a homemade sampler from my boss when I worked up in the mountains as a day camp counselor.

Steve Miller Band - Complete Young Hearts: Complete Greatest Hits album. “Abracadabra”, “The Joker”, “Take the Money and Run” and “Fly Like an Eagle” are my favs.

Steve Plunkett - “7th Heaven” theme song.

Steve Wariner - “Holes In the Floor of Heaven” from Burnin' the Roadhouse Down. Another sappy country love song.

Steve Winwood - “Higher Love” from '80s Dance Gold.

Steven Curtis Chapman - Following complete albums: All About Love, All Things New, Declaration, Greatest Hits, Heaven in the Real World, Signs of Life, Speechless, and This Moment. Also have “I Will Be Here” from More to This Life. I love the Speechless album. It was the first SCC album I purchased and it was an excellent investment. Top 20.

Sting - Complete albums: All This Time, Brand New Day, Fields of Gold: The Best of Sting 1984-1994, ...Nothing Like The Sun, Sacred Love, and Ten Summoner’s Tales. Also have “Until” from the Kate & Leopold soundtrack.

Stone Temple Pilots - “Interstate Love Song” from their Purple album. I’m not sure how they came up with the title for the song, but the lyrics have nothing to do with the interstate.

The Streets - “Let’s Push Things Forward” from Original Pirate Material. British rap. Better than I thought it would be.

Strikethurman - Complete A Winter Sky. I was introduced to these guys at a Battle of the Bands at my college back in 2003. The same one where Autumn’s Favor performed (see the “A’s”). Strikethurman rocked, so I bought the CD. I have not heard anything else of theirs; if there is anything else. The first track, “If the World Burns” is awesome.

String Cheese Incident - Complete One Step Closer and ‘Round the Wheel albums. String Cheese Incident is a jam band from Crested Butte and Telluride, Colorado formed in 1993. In 2007, the band began to disband. All members went on to pursue solo careers and still performed. On March 16, 2009 it was announced that the String Cheese Incident will reunite for the second annual Rothbury Music Festival held in Rothbury, Michigan. This will be their only show of 2009. The second Rothbury was held July 2-5. The band played an unannounced, invitation-only, "soundcheck" show at the Ogden Theater in Denver on June 24.

Stryper - Entire 7: The Best of Stryper. Old, old-school Christian hair band rock.

Styx - Complete Big Bang Theory and Greatest Hits albums. Best known for “Mr. Roboto”, but that song pales in comparison to such hits as “Too Much Time on My Hands”, “Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)” and “Blue Collar Man”. “Come Sail Away” is another goodie.

The Subdues - Complete Street Symphony album. Blues/rock.

Sublime - “What I Got (Lovin')”, “Santaria”, “Wrong Way” and “Doin Time” from their self-titled album and the entire 40 Oz. to Freedom album. I won 40 Oz. to Freedom at some raffle somewhere in Colorado. I have no memory of when or where, and no I was not drinking at the time.

Sucker - “Perspective” from Real Tracks.

Sugar Ray - “Fly” from Floored, “Answer the Phone” and “When It’s Over” from their self-titled album, and the entire 14:59 album.

Sugarhill Gang - “Rapper's Delight [Short 12" Version]” from Hip-Hop: Gold and “Rapper's Delight” from their self-titled album. The second “Rapper's Delight” is the long version, twelve seconds short of fifteen minutes.

Sugarland - Complete Love On the Inside album. Another one of those hybrid country cross-over bands like Rascal Flatts, Lady Antebellum, and Little Big Town.

Sum 41 - “Fat Lip” from All Killer No Filler.

Summer Hartbauer - “Sweet Addiction” from Live At the Loft. I actually saw Summer for the first time at the Soiled Dove in downtown Denver. She was amazing. I would like more of her stuff in the future.

Sup the Chemist - “Photographs [Rough Mix]” from Cheapskates: Softer Side.

Superchick - Complete albums: Beauty From Pain, Last One Picked, Regeneration, and Rock What You Got. Superchick is exactly what their name says, super chicks. Even better, they are Christian super chicks. However, despite the moniker there are guys in the band and they do lend their vocals on some tracks.

Supertramp - “Breakfast in America” from the album of the same name and “Give a Little Bit” from Even in the Quietest Moments.

Survivor - “Eye of the Tiger” from Now That's What I Call The 80s.

Suzanne Vega - “Frank & Ava” from Beauty & Crime and “Tom’s Diner” from Solitude Standing. An article in the now defunct magazine Business 2.0 revealed that "Tom's Diner" was also used by Karlheinz Brandenburg to develop the audio compression scheme known as MP3 at what is now the Fraunhofer Society. He recalled: “I was ready to fine-tune my compression algorithm...somewhere down the corridor, a radio was playing ‘Tom's Diner‘. I was electrified. I knew it would be nearly impossible to compress this warm a cappella voice.” Brandenburg adopted the song for testing purposes, listening to it again and again each time he refined the scheme, making sure it did not adversely affect the subtlety of Vega's voice. While it is an exaggeration to say that the MP3 compression format is specifically tuned to play the song "Tom's Diner" (an assortment of critically analyzed material was involved in the design of the codec over many years), among some audio engineers this anecdote has earned Vega the informal title "The Mother of the MP3".

Swen & Dean - Complete albums: as is. and Songs For the Good. Swen and Dean Swenson hail from Iowa and worked at Okoboji Lurthern Bible Camp when I met them at that very camp. I was on a Campus Crusade retreat up there and they did a concert for us. They both attended Waldorf College in Forest City, Iowa. Most of the songs on these two albums are covers, with a few original tracks written by the brothers’ good friend Rich Colligan.

The Swimmers - Entire Fighting Trees album. Punk rock slowed down with a slight British rock mixed in.

Swing City Big Band - Complete Tuxedo Junction: Big Band Swing Classics. Completely instrumental. “In the Mood” and “Chattanooga Choo Choo” are two of my favorites.

Switchfoot - Complete albums: The Beautiful Letdown, Learning to Breathe, The Legend of Chin, New Way to Be Human, Nothing is Sound, and Oh! Gravity. Jon Foreman and his brother Tim are amazing song writers and performers. Top 20.

System of a Down - Entire Hypnotize and Steal This Album! albums. “Spiders”, “Sugar”, and “Suite Pee” from their self-titled album and a handful of tracks from Toxicity. “ATWA” and “Chop Suey” are two favs. Steal This Album! is a great album overall, Hypnotize is so-so.
