New AC/DC Tribute Album Helps Surgeons Perform Better
Have you ever noticed that listening to rock music, like an AC/DC song, motivates you to be productive? That wasn’t a coincidence. A medical group based out of Germany did a study last year about this topic, kgun9.com reported.
According to the study, people were more efficient and worked with more accuracy in the operating room when listening to loud rock music like AC/DC.
In response, two organizations came together to create an album directed at medical professionals. NextMed Health is an organization dedicated to reshaping healthcare in America. And Klick Health directs their efforts toward innovation in the field of life sciences. Through their partnership, these organizations were able to debut a rock album performed by AC/DC tribute artists.
They call the album Highway To Heal.
The album includes tracks like Shoot To Drill and EKG as well as the title track. The album is available on Lifesaving Radio, which is an AI-powered radio station that is especially for surgeons. The station is designed to help surgeons be more energized and efficient in the operating room.
Three of the AC/DC tribute songs are currently being previewed on Lifesaving Radio.
And the entire album is due to follow soon. Thanks to lifesavingradio.com, we were able to catch some of the lyrics. You can sing these to the tune of Highway To Hell. “Breathing easy, paging me. Mark the site to cut you on the right side”.
The lyrics to Shoot To Drill include “Shoot to drill, play to fill. Too many cavities up in your grill.” But our favorite has to be EKG. Sing these lyrics to the tune of the TNT chorus: “EKG, I’ll know if you code. EKG more electrodes!”
Dang…kind feel like I could do surgery right now. Seriously though, this is awesome. And the fact that it’s based in actual research makes it even better. You can listen to the available tracks here.

Classic Rock Singers That Ranked Higher Than Steve Perry
Rolling Stone Magazine just released their list of 200 Best Singers Of All Time. And people are all up in arms about the results. And I’m not just talking about the snub Celine Dion got. There are other people not on the list. I mean, Barbra Streisand? Pat Benatar? Come on…While we are focusing on classic rock artists, their list encompasses all genres
It makes you wonder what this list is based on. It doesn’t seemed based on the singer’s skill or range of vocals. Is it based on relevancy? Bribes given to the list makers? And maybe the snubs are about more than just an authentic grading system. Pat Benatar kept getting snubbed from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for years. It was rumored she ticked off the powers-that-be and was omitted for that reason. Maybe that’s part of what’s in play here.
In any case, a list that sandwiches Bob Dylan between Prince and Freddie Mercury, isn’t celebrating vocal range. In Rolling Stone Magazine‘s defense, they didn’t say they were. They specifically said their list was celebrating something very different: the “deep, empathetic bond between artist and listener” (Rolling Stone Magazine).
And when it comes to vocal quality of some people on this specific list, Rolling Stone Magazine wasn’t focused on that either. They were more interested in the people that have “je ne sais quoi”. The “it factor” in their voice. That explains the likes of Dylan, Ozzy Osbourne and Stevie Nicks. Great singers? No. Great artists? Hell, yes.
Rolling Stone‘s list is a far cry from the “100 Greatest Singers Of All Time” list they did in 2008. That one had a vocal grading system with input from panel experts. This newest list focuses instead on “originality, influence, the depth of an artist’s catalog, and the breadth of their musical legacy” (Rolling Stone Magazine). Okay, we can see where they’re going with this then.
Since we like all things classic, we’re focusing on the list of classic rock artists that landed higher than one of our favorites, Steve Perry, who came in at #82. –Wendy Rush
