You Don’t Know What Love IsSonny Rollins
Even on Sonny Rollins’s signature album Saxophone Colossus, the most famous track is “St.
Thomas.” From the same album, this time I’d like to introduce a cool, understated number I recommend to men.
“You Don’t Know What Love Is” is a standard; it’s a quiet yet thrilling piece where the saxophone playing feels incredibly satisfying.

You Can’t ComeStarmarket
In this article we’re featuring many American bands from the birthplace of emo-core, but there were also excellent emo-core bands in Europe during the same era.
Starmarket, the band we’re introducing today, is one of Sweden’s quintessential and finest emo bands.
Formed in 1995 around guitarist and vocalist Fredrik Brandström, they released their self-titled debut that same year.
Before disbanding in 2004, they put out five albums, and interestingly, they were often more highly regarded here in Japan than in their home country.
Among their works, the 1997 sophomore album Sunday’s Worst Enemy—widely considered their masterpiece—lines up track after track that reconfirms emo-core’s roots in punk and hardcore through aggressive guitar sounds, paired with melodies steeped in the kind of wistful melancholy that particularly resonates with Japanese listeners.
Before they shifted toward a more melody-forward, refined indie-rock direction, Starmarket crafted a uniquely theirs sound where raw, high-velocity energy coexisted seamlessly with the cool, Nordic chill—a landmark record that essentially established Swedish emo.
When they reunited in 2018, a remastered, paper-sleeve reissue was released in Japan, so if you’re interested, be sure to seek it out.
You Better WaitSteve Perry
A refreshing and powerful track from Steve Perry’s solo album, which supported Journey’s golden era.
It opens with Steve’s soaring vocals layered in multiple harmonies, and over a backing that features impactful piano and rich instrumentation, he delivers a lustrous, forceful performance.
Yester-Me, Yester-You, YesterdayStevie Wonder
A track released in 1969 on the Motown label by Stevie Wonder, an American singer-songwriter.
It became a hit around the world.
An Italian version was also recorded under the title “Slo te, solo me, solo noi.”
You Can’t Bring Me DownSuicidal Tendencies
Suicidal Tendencies, the pioneering act that fused hardcore punk and thrash metal.
This track from their fourth album, “Lights… Camera… Revolution!”—released in 1990 at the peak of their popularity—packs punk’s breakneck drive with thrashy riffs, intertwined to perfection with the funky bass of Robert Trujillo, who would later join Metallica.
It’s a definitive masterpiece worthy of the name crossover thrash.
The solo by ace guitarist Rocky George, who helped steer the band toward thrash metal, showcases fluid speed picking and abundant tapping, shredding from the intro all the way to the end.
Even metal-loving guitarists who aren’t into hardcore will find themselves nodding in admiration at this superb performance.
You Mind?Summrs
Summrs, known for the plugg music subgenre “pluggnb,” is an artist from Louisiana, USA.
His signature style blends melodic, heavily Auto-Tuned vocals with trap elements.
This track is the lead single from his album “TALE OF DA RAVEN,” released in September 2024.
It features an energetic, melodic sound that’s sure to light up party scenes.
The song portrays Summrs’ confident attitude and his willingness to cut ties with others, expressing inner conflict and alienation while maintaining a strong sense of self.
It’s a perfect addition to your playlist for late-night drives.
