Artist: Linkin ParkSong: Leave Out All the Rest [3:29]Sounds Like: A letter to a long lost love
With Linkin Park’s massive sales and worldwide tours their release of their newest CD, Minutes to Midnight, was a welcome change to their sound and “Leave Out All the Rest” was one reason it was a smash hit. This song is about someone who misses someone they left and realizes that leaving them was a huge mistake. But knowing it’s impossible to get back together they ask to be remembered whenever their lonely. It’s a touching song that resonates with anybody in the same predicament.

Artist: Queen Title: Don’t Stop Me NowSounds like: Feel good, upbeat and moving rock. Kind of a magical song, something you would love to hear to get your spirits up.
“Don’t Stop Me Now” only reached as high as #86 on US charts in 1978, but still received great praise when it was released as a single the following year. Listen for Freddy Mercury topping out his voice, with vocals reaching the sky as he moves from the different melodies in the song. Find this track along with others on Queen’s Greatest Hits.
