A Walk on the Wired Side is the fourth studio album by The Flaming Stars. This album is different from the previous albums because more members of the band, besides Max (the primary songwriter), had contributed more towards song writing. Also, the Flaming Stars borrowed less from artists like Nick Cave and instead began to create their own style in the underground music scene.

"Walk Away" is a song by American pop singer Kelly Clarkson for her second studio album, Breakaway (2004).

All the Stuff Volume One is a compilation album by the Ramones. It includes their first two albums, Ramones and Leave Home, in their entirety, with the exception of "Carbona Not Glue," a song that was on the original release of Leave Home but was later removed from the album under pressure from the Carbona company and replaced with an early mix of "Sheena is a Punk Rocker." Also included are a handful of bonus tracks of varying origins: "I Don't Wanna Be Learned/I Don't Wanna Be Tamed" and "I Can't Be" were early, previously unreleased demos; "Babysitter" had originally been the b-side to the "Do You Wanna Dance?" single and was the first replacement of "Carbona Not Glue"; and the final two tracks, "California Sun" and "I Don't Wanna Walk Around With You," are live tracks recorded at The Roxy in Los Angeles, California and released as the b-sides of both the "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend" and "I Remember You" singles in 1976. Liner notes were written by Oedipus of Boston punk fame.
