Stevie Nicks - Annabel Lee

Here's one of the voices of Fleetwood Mac, setting to music a poem by Edgar Allen Poe. What more could you need to get ready for Halloween?

Sting - Heavy Cloud, No Rain

And what do you do when your heart yearns for rain, but the relief just won't come? Just let Sting soothe you, I suppose...


Weather Girls - It's Raining Men

Of course, there can't be any proper weather forecast without the weather girls and their classic.


Len - Steal My Sunshine

And sometimes, the only thing you're in love with is the summer and its lazy, sunny mood...


Crowded House - Weather with You

Do I lie like a loungeroom lizard
Or do I sing like a bird released


B*Witched - Blame it on the Weatherman

Another short-lived girl group of the late 902, from Ireland, offer the suggestion to blame it all on the weatherman.


Albert Hammond - It Never Rains in Southern California

Seems it never rains in southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California
But girl don't they warn ya
It pours, man it pours


Deep Purple - Stormbringer

No point in running, cause it's coming your way: storms and Mondays.


Annie Lennox - Into the West

The end song of Return of the King comes from the magic wand of Howard Shore and Annie Lennox.


Mousse T - Horny

Aparently, collaborating with Tom Jones on Sexbomb wasn't enough tension relief for Mousse T, so we went more direct with this hit. And if that rhythm doesn't get you grinding on the dancefloor, what the heck will?


Erasure - I Love to Hate You

Another band we've somehow missed and I have no idea how... And here's a special kind of love for you, too. Well, we all have our reasons... Love and hate, what a beautiful combination, sending shivers up and down my spine.

Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of the Heart

No idea how we've managed to pass over this lady for so long, but I've corrected that mistake now. Oh, and if you want to know how Bonnie Tyler got her trademark voice, there is a cool article about it over at cracked.com.

Unfortunately, for me this song is forever linked with a nervous brakedown in my first year of college. And no, it wasn't because of the song, it just tipped the glass over.

Boston - More Than A Feeling

It's more than a feeling, it's an entire attitude.

Gotye - Eyes Wide Open

There's slightly more to Gotye than his overplayed and overspoofed Somebody That I Used to Know.

Audiovent - Looking Down

These guys broke up after 11 years together and one album released by a major label and it's a darn shame if you ask me. But just for a moment there, they stood on top of the world, looking down.

No Angels - Daylight in Your Eyes

An artifically formed girl band from Germany in the early 00's, three of the original five angels reformed a while back and continue performing.

Survivor - Eye of the Tiger

It's the Eye of the Tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all with the Eye of the... Tiger...


Bryan Adams - The Only Thing That Looks Good on Me Is You

Sometimes the only thing that can save a Monday is a bit of a fashion sense. Particularly when it comes down to whom to wear.

Leonard Cohen - Teachers

Oh teachers are my lessons done?
I cannot do another one.
 They laughed and laughed and said,
Well child, are your lessons done?

Van Halen - Hot for Teacher

Pretty sure just anyone had a crush for a teacher once.


ABBA - When I Kissed The Teacher

One way to become a teacher's pet, is to kiss him (or her, for that matter) :)

Alice Cooper - School's Out

I always used to play this loudly on the last day of school: school's out for summer, school's out forever.

Alanis Morissette - You Learn

You live, you love, you cry, you lose, you bleed, you scream - you learn.


Kim Wilde - Schoolgirl

Mid school week, Kim Wilde sings about some sweet schoolgirl :)


Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall pt. 2

Can't really have a school themed week without this song - the chorus of generations.


Roger Hogdson - School

Roger Hogdson, the voice of Supertramp, with School, :)
