Top 100 Best Acoustic Songs Ever -The Greatest of All Time | Acoustic Guitar Music | TopAcousticSongs.com

Le Top 50 des FAILS du rap français – 50>41
C’est un événement méconnu et introuvable en vidéo, mais dont nous voulons entretenir le souvenir vivace dans la mémoire collective. Lors de la 1ère édition d’Urban Peace, emporté par l’euphorie de jouer au Stade de France, Lord Kossity a jumpé sur scène comme un cabri sauvage, avant de glisser malencontreusement. Le visage figé dans un instant d’incrédulité absolue, il s’est alors explosé à plat ventre sous les regards consternés du public. Le bruit de l’impact du micro, les quelques secondes où Lord Ko est resté allongé au sol, la stupeur des danseuses et les ricanements qui ont parcouru le Stade sont autant d’éléments à jamais gravés dans nos esprits. Si jamais vous avez une vidéo de ce Fail, envoyez-la-nous.
The Ultimate Road Trip Playlist — 50 Best Road Trip Songs | The Jetpacker
No road trip is complete without a playlist of songs that capture the spirit of traveling on the open road. So we’ve compiled a list of the 50 best road trip songs . In order to make this be-all end-all totally definitive list that all other lists look up to, the songs had to meet the following criteria: a.) encompass the excitement and freedom of road tripping b.) make the time pass faster c.) keep you awake without the assistance of questionably legal pills named “No Doze” d.) contain lyrics so singable that you’ll legitimately consider trying out for the next “American Idol” e.) keep you distracted long enough to make you forget you need to pee (which subsequently means stopping at a heinous rest stop where the bathroom stalls are tagged with death threats and truckers hit on you) f.) drown out the sound of your annoying friend who complains about a developing deep vein thrombosis from being crammed in the backseat (tough it up!) 50.

The 100 Best Albums of The Complex Decade
Ten years is a mighty long time in music. Countless careers have popped, flopped, and risen again since Complex first launched. But music—all types of music—has always been essential to who we are and what we do here at the Plex. So as we celebrate our 10th anniversary, it seemed only right to take a little stroll down memory lane and count down The 100 Best Albums of The Complex Era. It was a tough task that required endless meetings, and some serious (at times even heated) team dialogue. When all was said and done we ended up with a monster list that runs the gamut from hip-hop heroes to indie faves, some unstoppable pop stars, electronic eclectics, and everything in between.

Ten Albums You Should Listen To In 2012
The next 21 could be in here. by Alex Heigl 2012 is three days old and I'm already drooling over this year's upcoming releases. 1. Seventy-seven-year-old Leonard Cohen might have a few years on Tom Waits in their battle for the title of "Most Grizzled Literate Old Man Chronicling the Human Condition," but they're not weighing on him at all. Listen: “Show Me the Place” 2. Sleigh Bells were either awesome or grating in 2011, depending on your particular taste and how much your could stand their "BOOM BOOM *girl vocals* SUPER LOUD GUITAR" formula. 3. Dr. Listen: “Control Yourself” 4. The Magnetic Fields' ambitious 69 Love Songs was followed by a "no-synth" trilogy; Love at the Bottom of the Sea promises to reunite Stephin Merritt's acerbic baritone with any number of squalling electronic noises. 5. The first Shins album in five years, Port of Morrow should mark a return to form for Epileptic Natalie Portman's favorite band from that movie about Jersey. Listen: “Unknown Title”
