I Walk Alone

I figured that I would come around one more time today with another clue. This is a personal favorite!

Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day (http://youtu.be/tijW_SrCoxs)

Boulevard of Broken Dreams is the most successful song by American punk rock band Green Day. It has sold over 2.1 million copies in the U.S. and ranked number one on Rolling Stone's Reader's Choice: Singles of the Decade list in 2009. I can definitely see why. There's just something compelling about the song and its lyrics.

Once again let me remind you that you're trying to figure out how this song and the last five songs go together. And the answer is waiting for you to find on YouTube. Only a few more songs left!

Coming Down is the Hardest

 Okay, it's time once again audience for another clue!

Learning to Fly by Tom Petty (http://youtu.be/s5BJXwNeKsQ)

Tom Petty gives us a true example of what we call classic American rock. He can indeed be called a product of the culture of the seventies and eighties with his "smooth" and almost comforting musical style. Even today he continues to wow the young and old alike at his concerts. In his heyday, Petty toured and performed with great artists such as Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash. After all, he is more than qualified to be on par with them, selling over 60 million albums over his entire career!

Remember now, for the game you are to find out how these songs fit together. Like I said, your answer will be lurking in the depths of the all powerful YouTube!
