Indiana University Marching Hundred -"I.U. March to the Stadium" from College Fight Songs - Indiana Hoosiers - EP. iTunes has many of the major NCAA Division I schools fight songs EPs, many with drum cadences.

OneRepublic - Waking Up album. A great Colorado band that has made international superstars of themselves.

Weird Al Yankovic - Entire Straight Outta Lynwood. Features tracks such as "White and Nerdy", "Confessions Part III", and "Canadian Idiot".
Rascal Flatts - Complete Nothing Like This album. Rascal Flatts still has that distinct sound and by no means are they are a downhill slide.
James Levine - The Chicago Symphony Orchestra performs Gustov Holst's The Planets. I saw this performed live by another symphony orchestra with a 4th class of mine and it was awesome. Even these 10 and 11 year olds enjoyed it!
The Black Keys - "Tighten Up" and "Everlasting Light" from their album Brothers.
Maroon 5 - Complete Hands All Over album.
