He is so good in this. I know a lot of people like him as leading man and in likable roles, but I think this is his best kind of role.

Great movie

Jack Black as himself in High Fidelity and School of Rock.

If you're going with Turnpike, I'd say Every Girl is much stronger as a starter, though really, all of their albums start super strong.

Some of my personal favorites (I know, not greatest, but I'm sure others will nail the classic rock ones):

• Alabama Pines - Jason Isbel "Here We Rest"
• Come Back Down - Flatland Cavalry "Homeland Insecurity"
• Where the Devil Don't Stay - Drive By Truckers "The Dirty South"
• Set Phasers to Stun - Taking Back Sunday "Where You Want to Be"
• In One Ear - Cage the Elephant "Cage the Elephant"
• Holy Water - Cody Jinks "Lifers"

Boston - More than a Feeling
Rush - 2112. A 20 minute middle finger to the record industry and critics. Rush was hell bent on going out their way and it became their signature.

BATTERY!

BAH-TAH-RAY!!!!

Search and Destroy-The Stooges-Raw Power
