Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Alice in Chains

by on July 21, 2015 0 comments
For a band that certainly doesn’t have the instant name recognition of many other 90’s acts, Alice in Chains put out really good music for a long time. They’ve sneakily sold almost 30 million albums worldwide, probably over double what anyone would have expected. Dirt may be the peak of the band’s albums and certainly worth $5 bucks.

Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Daft Punk

by on July 14, 2015 2 comments
Recognized as one of the 100 best albums released between 2000-2010, 'Discovery' is an electronic story. The songs blend together, not unlike Pink Floyd's classic Dark Side of the Moon. It's an honest album filled with music the never-seen-in-person Daft Punk duo simply liked and thought was fun. For $5, it's well worth a listen.

Cheap Tunes Tuesday: The Who

by on July 7, 2015 2 comments
At the time Who’s Next was released, it was considered a cross between hard rock and a rock opera. In fact, this album began as a full-on rock opera but the project proved to be too complex. Instead, it was changed to a studio album which probably couldn’t have worked out any better for the band. This album has received countless accolades...and you can score it for only $5.

Cheap Tunes Tuesday: The Strokes

The Stokes and Is This It burst onto the scene in a big way. After being released in October of 2001, the album quickly gained notoriety from every major critic in the books. The acclaim was crazy—5 out of 5 stars, 9.5 out of 10, top ten debut album of all time, top 20 album of the 2000s and one of the top 1000 albums to hear before you die. Today, you can own it too...and for only $5.

Cheap Tunes Tuesday: 3 Doors Down

by on June 16, 2015 0 comments
Rather than following the typical pattern—meeting in a big city and getting discovered—today's band followed a different script. Coming from a town of only 4,000, 3 Doors Down still managed to hit it big. Their sophomore album, more polished than the first, won't disappoint (and especially for only $5!).

Cheap Tunes Tuesday: The Black Eyed Peas

by on June 9, 2015 2 comments
What if I told you there was a band that formed in 1988, but you never heard of them until two decades later? I’m guessing the biggest music fans out there would argue that’s impossible. And maybe for the die-hards out there, you won’t be as surprised by today’s band. But twenty years of not much recognition, followed by ten years of lots of albums sales and various hiatuses, they’re now one of the most recognizable names in pop music.

Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Aerosmith

After taking a five year break from recording to get clean, Aerosmith returned to scene. Their second (and Grammy Award winning) post-absence effort is today's featured album. And, in a music world dominated by the "poppy metal" sounds of Motley Crue, Poison, and Bon Jovi, at that time, Aerosmith's solid album hit a home run—especially for only $5.

Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Bob Dylan

There are singers, and there are songwriters. In some cases, an artist can do both really well–they simply have a knack for the business. Today’s featured artist. Bob Dylan, accomplished major things while doing both.This visionary album took a little while to be appreciated, but, thankfully, the first single release was ‘Like A Rolling Stone,’ which would go on to be one of the most popular singles of all time. The album is credited for changing the way we think about popular music and how we view folk musicians in the mainstream.

Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Ben Harper

Really good artists can be right under your nose sometimes, but you just never get a chance to hear their music. What if I told you there is a guy who has won three Grammy awards, but there is a strong possibility you’ve never heard of him? Seems strange, but it’s probably true. Today we look at an artist whose popularity spans multiple continents, sold millions of albums—but hasn't quite found his way into the hearts of mainstream America.
