Songs By Elemental Artists, Vol. 1: Earth

According to wikipedia.org: "Many philosophies and worldviews have a set of classical elements believed to reflect the simplest essential parts and principles of which anything can consist or upon which the constitution and fundamental powers of everything are based." While the 4 Classical Elements vary slightly from one culture to another, the ones most widely recognized are Earth, Water, Air, and Fire. This 4-part miniseries will feature songs by bands with one (or more) of these 4 elements in their names. First up, "Earth" bands. Enjoy! ~ JH

1) Manfred Mann's Earth Band ~ "Blinded By The Light"

2) Walk Off The Earth ~ "Somebody That I Used To Know" (Cover of Gotye & Kimbra's hit song)

3) I Mother Earth ~ "One More Astronaut"

4) Earth, Wind, & Fire ~ "Boogie Wonderland"

5) Iced Earth ~ "When The Eagle Cries"

6) The Tallest Man On Earth ~ "Where Do My Bluebird Fly?"

8) Railroad Earth ~ "Been Down This Road"

9) Hooray For Earth ~ "True Loves"
