9. P.O.D.-This Goes Out To You
Remember rock ‘n’ roll group P.O.D.? They were known for their hit single “Youth of the Nation” back in 2001 and now the group is back together and making new music. They haven’t changed much about their song; it is still hard hitting rock ‘n’ roll but that is the formula that worked many years ago. For fans of the group back in the 2000s this will be much-awaited musical homecoming and for rock ‘n’ roll fans, it’s worth a listen.
