Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Bad Company

by on January 19, 2016 1 comment
Supergroups tend to be an amazing idea on paper, but once the music hits the airwaves, they don’t live up to the hype. Today’s band was certainly legit, but they don’t perhaps get the recognition they deserve. With over 20 million albums sold worldwide, it’s a bit surprising they aren’t more of a household name.

Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Badfinger

Don't be scared off by the hair! Badfinger, a group signed to the Beatles' own label, created some awesome music but never seemed to get the recognition they deserved...until now. For five bucks you can give their sound a whirl—and you won't be disappointed. The top three tracks stack up to anything Lennon or McCartney put out.

Many of you reading this today are probably located in TDS’ home state of Wisconsin. The list of bands from this state to make it big is short and you could probably count them on one hand. Although it’s rare, today’s band is one of them – and while it may have happened in an unusual fashion, it happened, and the music world is better off for it.

Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Soundgarden

by on December 15, 2015 2 comments
You could probably make a list of bands who benefited from the Nirvana grunge revolution, and Soundgarden would certainly be one of them. They started with a small cult following, were then “discovered” by the masses, and produced one of the best albums of the ‘90s—Superunknown. Today that top-selling, and still awesome, album can be yours for $5.

Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Lady Antebellum

What would you say about a band that in their first six years of existence sold more than 12.5 million digital singles and over 10 million albums in the United States alone? You’d probably tell me those are stats for Taylor Swift or some other major pop music artist. Well in today’s case, not only would you be wrong – but it’s an artist that unless you’re into country music, you may not have even heard of.

Cheap Tunes Tuesday: The Smashing Pumpkins

Today’s band was always ‘the next big thing’–referred to as the “next Jane’s Addiction,” then the “next Nirvana,” then the “next Pearl Jam.” While somewhat flattering to be compared with those great groups, all this band wanted to do was step out of that limelight and become their own household name. They succeeded in spades and you can score their second album today for only $5.

Sometimes big things come from small places. That's the case for today's group who, despite being from a country only 175,000 square miles, achieved world-wide fame. Their third studio effort held a track that rocketed them to fame after being featured on television shows and a very popular movie. Today, you can score the whole album for only $5.

Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Beyonce

There are artists that you can hear one time, and you’re certain they’re going to be a huge success. Sometimes it’s the whole package; sound, looks, personality – they all form into this magnet for attention and success. Today’s artist is unquestionably one of the most successful pop artists of all time, and it was pretty clear that would happen from a young age.

Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Franz Ferdinand

by on November 10, 2015 1 comment
Franz Ferdinand received universal critical acclaim right away for their debut, with reviewers saying how it was a great rock ‘n’roll album during a time when pop and punk music was mostly in the mainstream. It sounds almost identical to a Strokes album, which is certainly not a bad thing. But since Franz has been nominated for multiple Grammy Awards, it seems they get most of the attention for doing it the best. And to score it for only $5? Not to shabby.

Sometimes you hear a song on the radio in the car and you crank it up...but have no idea who sings it. Today’s band kind of falls into that category. Certainly recognized for a few popular tracks, but has SO many hits that many people don’t always give the band their proper credit. For five bucks, you can score this can't-miss record and finally connect some great songs with the band that made them.

Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Huey Lewis & The News

Bands can become popular by participating in something that they never imagined would take them to new heights. Maybe it’s agreeing to play Woodstock, featuring their songs in television or film, or perhaps lending a track to the next wannabe American Idol to be covered. One could argue today’s band had already hit it big, but being the icon of a film took it to a whole new level.
