Goin' Solo

I'm not sure what it is about the last few years of 2000s that made everyone ditch their groups and go solo.

Perhaps the lack of sales and the big conglomerate record companies pinching pennies broke bands up and made artists strapped for cash.

One of the few that I seemed to enjoy was Gavin Rossdale.  The lead man for the 90s brisish rock band Bush and husband to gwen stefani.

Here was an enjoyable hit from his solo record.

Blink Rock

There is a after of punk rock I like to call blink rock.   Since so many band s were influenced by them I like to call it that.  Seems like the early 2000-2008 had loads of bands with this sound.

Blink182 had over 6 record labels and two drummers.  Despite that they had 2 albums in the billboard top 10, only one of them hit number 1.

Their biggest charting song is All the Smal Things.  But I really dig this song
