Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Stone Temple Pilots

by on October 31, 2017 0 comments
Stone Temple Pilots was such a solid act in that time and you can hear the talent Scott Weiland had not only in his vocal ability, but his songwriting. Perhaps it’s best showcased here on Purple, where the tracks are possibly a bit more subtle, instead of the huge rock effort put forth in their previous album. Give yourself a boost today with this one—for only $5 bucks; you’ll save a pretty penny.

Cheap Tunes Tuesday: The Black Keys

Often times you hear new music on the radio and it all just sort of blends together. That is the furthest thing from the truth with The Keys. Their sound is a blend of 70’s rock with modern composition, but still manages to give you that excitement when you first heard them out of the garage—unique is an understatement.

Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Pink

Even if early 2000’s pop wasn’t in your wheelhouse, give this one a listen. It’s pretty diverse, showing off some R&B, pop, county and even gospel style roots. Pink is a truly unique talent, and we should all celebrate that. For $5 bucks you can’t misunderstand, that’s a great deal.

Losing a loved one before their time is always hard—sometimes even if you never met them, like a favorite musician.

Today’s post is in honor of Mr. Petty (1950-2017)

Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Foreigner

Over 80 million albums sold worldwide. Surely if a band has that type of street cred, you listen to them on a regular basis. In fact, they’d probably be on the tip of your tongue every time you had a discussion about music. Today’s band might put that idea to the test. While you probably know them (and half their catalog)—they're not the household name you expect.

On the rarest occasion a song or band can come on the radio and an entire group of random people in the store, car—wherever you are, all sing along with glee. In today’s case, the band has such a fun, jam vibe, it’s hard not to belt out the lyrics and tap your toes with a big smile on your face. And to score a whole album of their music for only $5?

Asia’s self-titled debut was released in March of 1982. Initial response was mediocre to say the least—until the single “Heat of the Moment” began hitting the radio in April. According to Billboard and Cash Box Magazine, it was the #1 album in the U.S. for the year. The aforementioned single would reach all the way up to #4 on the Billboard charts and begin to open music fans ears to the band.

Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Alter Bridge

Alter Bridge released their debut album "One Day Remains" in August of 2004. If you’re a fan of Creed’s earlier work, before they got a bit more into the pop genre, you’ll enjoy this too. By no means is this a perfect record, but it’s solid—start to finish—and quite possibly better than any Creed record, which consistently had letdown tracks. Today it can be yours for only $5
