HEY NOOBS! Want a band or song recommendation? Don't start a new thread-POST HERE!

I've been trying to decide on a song to sing for my solo in my vocals class at school and Yahoo! Answers just isn't doing anything for me in the music department so I thought I'd come talk to the experts.

Here are the options:

If I Die Young by The Band Perry
For the Nights I Can't Remember by Hedley (The only reason this is a consideration is because I already know it so well)
Temporary Home by Carrie Underwood (I hardly know this one at all though)
My Grown Up Christmas List by Kelly Clarkson (This one's a little trickier and I'm not sure if I can hit the higher notes right no because I'm sick)

It has to be ready for the 15th (I know! It's sooo late to be choosing a song) and it's worth 15% of my mark.

I really appreciate the help. Thanks in advance.

Which album do you think every fan of rock music should own?

~~James~~ · 12-09-2010, 03:52 AM

Marquee Moon, everyone should own Marquee Moon.
If you wanna stick solely to Rock then Live At Leeds would be my choice.

Songs about Fucking.
Even if you don't like it, you should be able to appreciate the way it expresses ugly emotions and the influence it had on grunge.

I have heard that bands like My Bloody Valentine are good. I haven't listened to anything from them, but I would like to know where to start. The whole shoe gaze genre is appealing to me. Any suggestions on what other bands are interesting?
