The songs "Love Struck Baby", "Dirty Pool", the Grammy nominated instrumental "Rude Mood" and a personal favorite of mine "Pride & Joy" are all on this album.

Stevie Ray Vaughan's back up band Double Trouble consisted of Chris Layton on Drums and Tommy Shannon on Bass for this album. Layton and Shannon were part of Double Trouble for all of Stevie's albums, except for "Family Style" which Stevie did with his brother Jimmie. "Texas Flood" was Stevie's and Double Trouble's first album together, other members joined Double Trouble for future albums.

Answer: Led Zeppelin

On this selection are "Good Times Bad Times", "Dazed and Confused" and "Communication Breakdown".

The song from the fourth album is of course "Stairway to Heaven".

After the band "The Yardbirds" broke up, Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page was stuck in a contract which called for the band to do more concert dates. He recruited the other three members who would form Led Zeppelin with him to complete this contract. They were Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and Jon Bonham. Shortly after completing the dates they changed the bands name, and having done some of the songs which would be on "Led Zeppelin" on tour, started recording.

Answer: Like A Virgin

"Like a Virgin ", "Material Girl", "Dress You Up" and "Into the Groove", which is also from the movie "Desperately Seeking Susan" that Madonna appeared in, are on the album.

Many remember Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera performing "Like A Virgin" at one of the MTV Video Music Awards Shows, which finished with two infamous kisses involving Madonna. There was also her MTV Video Music Award performance of "Vogue" in 1990 and her performance of "Like a Virgin" at the inaugural Video Music Awards which included her crawling across the stage floor in a not so ladylike wedding dress.
8. Wyclef Jean and Lauryn Hill were part of this group who come in at number 163 with the album "The Score".

Answer: The Fugees

Cedric the Entertainer and Gloria Carter, Jay-Z's mother, are credited for vocals on this album.

Answer: The Writing's On The Wall

"Say My Name" "Jumpin' Jumpin'" "Bills, Bills, Bills"

This was the last album for two of the members of the band, Latavia Roberson and Letoya Lukett were not part of future albums. Beyonce Knowles and Kelly Rowland continued to perform with the band with other singers.
12. The group's first album "CooleyHighHarmony" comes in at number 159.

Answer: Boyz II Men

Some of the tracks on this album are "Motownphilly", "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday" and "Little Things".

This album received four Grammy awards. They achieved the rare distinction of having one of their songs replace another of their songs at the number one on the charts.
13. This former member of Wham comes is at number 158 with the album "Faith".

Answer: George Michael

Featured on this album are "Father Figure" "One More Try" and "Faith".

This album received the highest ranking for record sales, which is Diamond.
14. Number 157 has the second offering from Bob Dylan, with this album featuring the song "Tangled Up in Blue".

Answer: Blood On The Tracks

My favorite song from this album is "Tangled Up in Blue", the poignant "Shelter from the Storm" and "Simple Twist of Fate" are on this album.

The songs for this album were written at a time when Bob Dylan was going through a separation from his then wife. This event appears to set the mood for this album. Though it is not a happy album, the public related extremely well to what was expressed in the music.

The great collaborator Billy Preston does work on this album.
15. What musical list these days (2008) wouldn't be complete without an appearance by Flavor Flav, so at number 156 is his band Public Enemy with this album.

Answer: It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Pumping off of this album are "Bring the Noise", "Don't Believe the Hype" and "Party for Your Right to Fight".

Why do we joke about Flavor Flav, if you have seen the Comedy Central Roast of him you will know why. I think it's a cross between it being so easy and him taking it so well.
