15 Songs To Check Out

Just for the fun of it, here are 15 songs - a whole album's worth - from the "rock" category that many of you may not have ever heard that perhaps you should:

1. Miles Davis & the Cool by The Gaslight Anthem
2. Constructive Summer by The Hold Steady
3. Solitude Sometimes Is by Manic Street Preachers
4. Kingdom of Doom by The Good, the Bad and the Queen
5. These Days by The Hours
6. Coast to Coast by The Jesus and Mary Chain
7. Way Out by The La's
8. Basement Parties by Matt Pond PA
9. Rest of Our Lives by Mike Ness
10. Secret Meeting by The National
11. This Picture by Placebo
12. Common People by Pulp
13. Same Jeans by The View
14. I Can't Get Behind That by William Shatner (yes, Captain Kirk) with Henry Rollins
15. Alcatraz by Sound of Guns

All of the above are easily available on iTunes or via Amazon, and...in my opinion...there are loads of other songs and albums by each of these artists worth checking out.
