R&B Guru 2008-10-12 07:21:53 Total Posts: 2527 | Moofu, your list is most of my favorites :). Great list and once again, I think me and you have a lot in common in our music. Havok, October Sky is a tight track. I had never even heard of Javier but the song was nice. Is most of his stuff like that? Ima download his album if it is. You've got a lot of my favs too Havok (Oh Well is an awesome choice), though you have some artists I've never heard of. And come now Johnny, when you say choices make your ears bleed, I wanna know what you're hating on :). | |||

Havok214 2008-10-12 10:14:38 Total Posts: 407 | Guru, which artists did I name that you never heard of? As far as Javier, to be honest I dont really care for his music. He had a video that used to come on BET alot around 2003/2004 called "Crazy". I didnt care for that song too much anyway but my brother D/Led his self-titled album and checked it out. The CD was like 14 tracks. Only about 3-4 of them fit my personal tastes. One of those 3 was "October Sky" which is just a really great track IMO. The lyrics, the production, the emotion. Unfortunately most of his album just wasnt for me. You can check the snippets as cduniverse.com. | |||
JohnnyAwesome24 2008-10-12 11:10:12 Total Posts: 1928 | I like "The Answer Is Yes" and "Crazy" most of all with him. October Sky is ok I suppose, but not his best IMO | |||
