Yes, the School of Rock is back. The flu is gone after stomping each member of my family into the dirt and then it followed my mother home and beat her too. But we survived like rebels fighting the machines in Terminator Salvation. Our victory will be short-lived as some harvester robot virus is waiting in the wings to stomp on us and collect us for cruel science experiment slavery. But I digress. The real reason you're here is to get a rock-u-cation.

Ben Harper's Burn to Shine (2000) is a must have because this is the kind of rock all rock is built on. Good song writing, excellent hooks and melodies, and an overall quality to each song you don't normally hear. Burn to Shine is one of my favorite albums for the fact it's simple, folksy rock, you'll be singing along with. No, you can't stop yourself. It will happen and you will have the window rolled down next to some girls 20 years younger than you as you belt out "Steal My Kisses". So just go with it.
