Songs I'm obsessed with this week

1.  Shadow of the Day by Linkin Park.  I love their current album, Minutes to Midnight.  I didn't realize the similarity between this song and a certain song off of U2's The Joshua Tree until a U2 fan's blog pointed it out.  Now it all makes sense why I love this song so much. It's a pretty powerful video for a seemingly sweet little song.  See if you can figure out what U2 song I'm referring to:
Linkin Park - Shadow of the Day

2.  Something to Believe in by Aqualung.  I've had this song on my I-Pod for a little while and sort of forgotten about it until I heard it on last week's episode of Eli Stone.  Now I can't get enough of it.  I couldn't find the music video for it, but here's a performance in NYC:

3.  Hammer and Stone by Seven Mary Three.  Their new album Day and Nightdriving is officially released in a few weeks, but you can download it early on iTunes.  I gotta give props to my hometown boys 7M3.  Jason Ross is one of the best songwriters of this generation, and this song to me has that classic 7 Mary 3 sound.  Some of you may remember their 90's hit, Cumbersome.  The band has had 5 albums since then, but never really got much airplay outside of Orlando.  Also check out the song Last Kiss.  Hell, download the whole album.  The only video I could find of this song is a crappy recording of a live show, but check out their myspace page (or itunes) for a better audio version.  http://www.myspace.com/7m3
