No matter how much music you listen to on a weekly basis, sometimes even the most avid music lovers forget about an artist from time to time. Today’s featured act is one that has stuck around for roughly four decades—and for good reason. Called "one of the 10 best songwriters," his music paints a picture while you listen.

Induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio isn’t necessarily why many bands start to make music, but in many ways, it’s the ultimate validation of your career and all your success. Selling millions of albums feels good, but the recognition you’re one of the best of all-time? That’s a major endorsement. Today’s band was inducted in April of this year, and might be a band you’ve forgotten you love.

Cheap Tunes Tuesday: The Beatles

You’d be hard pressed to find anyone who has never heard any Beatles songs, but in this case, this is an album you don’t frequently hear played start to finish. Some of the hits on Help! are simply tremendous—and the lesser known tracks paved the way for some of the future experimentation the band would end up doing. Grab it today for only $5.

Countless tributes, covers and a future full-length biopic about the group, it’s obvious how much the ragtag group of southern rockers impacted the music landscape. If you’ve somehow truly never experienced the band before, give this one a shot today. It’s their best album to start with and is a great intro to southern rock—and for only $5? It's a steal.

The single “Radioactive” from this album hit major radio play, and it all blew up from there. The smash hit would spend a record-breaking 87 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100—but there's a lot more to Imagine Dragons than that one song. This album is great intro to a band you may think you know, but who just might surprise you.

Devil Without A Cause was released in August of 1998. Praised for its ‘eclectic’ sound, the album has aspects of arena rock, country, heartland rock, metal and hip-hop.

Some people like to poke fun at Coldplay because of the softer feel, but it’s no bother. Critical acclaim for this album was furious, Rolling Stone called Coldplay the ‘best band of the year’ and the album brought them a Grammy Award for ‘Record of the Year’ and it was number one on the charts and it has sold nearly 20 million copies to date.

This likely isn’t in your rotation, and unless you’re somewhere in your forth decade, this may never have been. But either way, give Don’t Say No a shot today. Being 38 years old, the album holds up extraordinarily well and it may be one of those happy rediscoveries (or discoveries, as the case may be.)
