Sesame Street Blows My Effing Mind
Shows may come and go, but the perennial Coolest Show of All Time—and I mean this—has got to be Sesame Street. Whenever I hear that a musician has made an appearance on the block, I can’t help but think higher of that person. I guess spending your time with muppets, for me, just adds a certain amount of cachet. Anyway, MusicRadar compiled the 11 Greatest Sesame Street Guest Songs and they are all pretty amazing—and that includes those selections from musicians who may not be your favorites. Watching Johnny Cash strum a tune about a grouch he knows as Oscar shows his support (for the aforementioned grouch, of course), or Stevie Wonder play Superstition while a nearby kid headbangs (!), or Feist count to four surrounded by gleeful monsters, or R.E.M. jump up and down with a gaggle of furry creatures makes you feel good and chases your cynicism away. There are lots more big names mingling with the locals on what’s arguably the world’s most famous street. To see them all—and I cannot stress how much you should—go here. [Music Radar]
