Friday Charts - 6/9/06
This installment of the Friday Charts looks like it could just as easily have come from ten years ago. Half of the artists featured were at their peak over a decade ago, and evidently are still going strong. Some come as no surprise: Thom Yorke's album could have been "Thom Sings the Gin Blossoms" and there still would have been rabid interest in it. Conversely, tons of people seem to have downloaded Busta Rhymes' new album just to see if there is a track where Busta spends a couple minutes trying to cajole you into sending him some money a la The Herlihy Boy on SNL.
"Please send me five dollars...Everyone liked "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See", right? Please let me sleep in your basement..."
Cut to Dr. Dre shrieking "Let Busta Rhymes sleep in your basement!"
Unfortunately Youtube has no video of that semi-obscure sketch, so we'll move right on to the charts. Links go to the Hype Machine for each artists, where you can find a wide variety of album cuts, live tracks and rarities:
1. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium
2. Gnarls Barkley - St. Elsewhere
3. Thom Yorke - The Eraser
4. Keane - Under the Iron Sea
5. The Walkmen - A Hundred Miles Off
6. AFI - Decemberunderground
7. The Raconteurs - Broken Boy Soldiers
8. Busta Rhymes - The Big Bang
9. Pearl Jam - Pearl Jam
10. Tool - 10,000 Days
