From: In Utero ; Year: 1993; Genre: Alternative Rock/Grunge Sometimes I just find myself wanting to listen to something from Nirvana.

Plus, the very familiar sound of the Foo Fighters is almost a perfect fit for the occasion.   Hear Next Year on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Don't Come Around Here No More   My song pick 2 years ago today: Jimmy Jules and the Nuclear Soul System - The New Year   My song pick 3 years ago today: Genesis - Duke's End   My song pick 4 years ago today: Kool & The Gang - Celebration   My song pick 5 years ago today: Scrawl - 11:59 (It's January) My song pick 6 years ago today: Ella Fitzgerald - What Are You Doin...

From: We Wish You a Metal Xmas and a Headbanging New Year ; Year: 2008; Genre: Christmas Music/Rock 'n Roll/Hard Rock/Rockabilly Here is a hard-hitting cover of the Christmas classic from Chuck Berry.
