There's not much we can say about today's song except it's as rock as a song can get!
It's Born To Be Wild by the Canadian band Steppenwolf.

It was the band's second single and projected the band into stardom when it was chosen to be part of the Easy Rider OST.
The song is said to be the first ever "heavy metal" song and some suggest it also gave the name to the genre itself, indeed, one of the verses contains the first recorded reference to "heavy metal" -- "Heavy metal thunder".

You can get the song on iTunes.

Today we chose a great song by a talented artist from Nashville.
Her name is Melissa Mathes and we chose her song When You Walk Away from her album Rarities.

You can find more information about her at Amie Street and on her MySpace profile.

Here's a song you can't help not jumping around when you hear it: Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits.
It's one of those songs we could keep listening on and on and never get tired of.

It was recorded as a demo by the still unknown Dire Straits and soon released as their first single after it had been put in rotation on Radio London.
The song helped driving sales of the band's first album and definitely made them a world renowned band.

You can get the song on iTunes. Give a listen to the extended live version in this album, too.

Amanda Kaletsky is one of the best artists featured on Music Milker since it saw the light.
So we decided to feature her as this week's Artist of The Week: you can read the interview we had with her.

Today, we'd like to suggest a beautiful song: Wait from the homonymous album.

You can find Amanda on MySpace, Last.fm, Our Stage and Amie Street.

Sorry for yesterday, but we couldn't make it in time.

Anyway, to apologize, here's a great song with incredibly bright guitars which make for some great laid-back indie rock.
They are The Seldon Plan and the song is Dance, Despite The Obvious.

You can find their songs on Amie Street and MySpace.

If you are looking for easy listening songs and simple reggae rythms you have to stop and listen to Trevor Jones's album Electric Minstrel.

I like all of his songs, but the one I like the most is Firm Believer which we're featuring today: definitely an enjoyable song!

You can find his album on Amie Street, Amazon, Rhapsody, Rolling Stone and Music Gremlin.

This week's artist of the week is Lee Rogers, an incredibly talented artist from Belfast.

The song we are suggesting is Breathe which we could keep listening to on and on.
Indeed, it's one of the best songs we've listened to recently.

You can find it and more of Lee's songs on Amie Street and iTunes.

Today, we're back with our usual jump in the past, even though we're not making a very long jump, indeed, we're going back to 1991.
The song is Drain You by Nirvana; it's the eighth track in the band's most famous album, Nevermind.

Drain You wasn't a single, nor is one of the best known tracks by Nirvana. We could've picked Smells Like Teen Spirit, Come As You Are or Heart Shaped Box, but everyone already knows them, plus we wanted to suggest a song the band itself loved.
Kurt Cobain used to say Drain You was at least as good as Teen Spirit and was one of the few songs he loved to play live -- indeed, it was often played as the opening songs for their concerts.

There are a whole bunch of Nirvana songs we love and we might feature in the coming months, but this one definitely epitomizes the band's activity: a powerful riff with deep lyrics.

Now, head to iTunes, download this song and take your guitar out of the closet! ;)

We usually promote only a few genres of songs because we love to promote songs we really like.
Today, we chose a different kind of song: Quench is a great song with a very relaxing sound!

The artist is Emorej, a talented artist that produces songs influenced by many different genres, from alternative to reggae.
You can find more songs on Amie Street and/or on Myspace

Today, we are pleased to suggest you I am caught in a Sentimental Spell from a very talented artist called Luka MckDawson.

We listened to all songs in his album Count ten, but our favourite was this one.
Luka's songs are melodic and everyone is different from the other (too often we see artists exploiting the same melody over and over).

You can find him on Amie Street.
