The Lesson Plan

These four songs round up the first century of songnotes (these entries go way back to the LJ days) and to commemorate this special event, here are those four songs in full streaming media glory.

Enjoy! These songs are too good for radio that’s why you can hear them here.

#97. “Trigger” by Greenwheel

This song drives by fast. Hang on to your seats during the refrains. This is great for those who feel like all they have left to do is “pull the trigger”.

(Purchase their music over at Alternative Addiction.)

#98. “Wide Awake” by Audioslave (Chris Cornell solo on acoustic)

Fantastic song with great vocal work by Chris Cornell, one of the most unique voices in Rock. He wrote this song after Hurricane Katrina.

(Purchase their album, “Revelations” over at Amazon.com, the iTunes store, or your nearest music store.)

#99. “Please” by Staind (warning: explicit lyrics)

Aaron Lewis is an incredible songwriter, and this song hits hard. One of the best “angry songs” I’ve ever heard.

(Purchase their album, “Chapter V” over at Amazon.com, the iTunes store, or your nearest music store.)

#100. “Break” by Shinedown

And rounding out the list as the centennial entry, Shinedown’s Brent Smith has arguably the best voice in all of alternative rock. Well, he does.

(Purchase their album, “Us and Them” over at Amazon.com, or the iTunes store. The album is currently unavailable in the Philippines.)
