After the untimely death of pop superstar Michael Jackson, it seems a fitting tribute to write a review of my all time top five hits by the King of Pop. Five songs are going to be hard to choose as there are so many amazing songs but I’ll give it …

Probably the weakest Pink Floyd album ever. Actually, it’s not even a Pink Floyd album, maybe only in name, because it’s written, produced and perfomed by Roger Waters. I see it as a the third CD to the Wall pretty much, since it has the same style, musically. Thematically …

Ibanez has yet again created another guitar made for the guitarist in you! It is an RG770DX 1987 reissue that comes in either Ruby red or Lazer blue. The Neck is a Wizard neck that is thin for just gliding through easily with double octave or 24 frets. The …

BORNS is one of the up and coming musicians this year that really got me interested. From the first time I heard him in his wonderfully-crafted “10,000 Emerald Pools”, I knew that I will be captivated in his following efforts. And he never failed, far from it.
Past Lives …

Secret Window is a film based on a novel written by Stephen King and starring Johnny Depp. My girlfriend is a huge fan of Depp so I typically watch his movies with her occasionally but I have to admit that he’s never disappointed me in a role and it …

She’s Royal is the first hit release from Tarrus Riley, a new singer on the reggae scene. This song is such a beautiful and wonderful song. It basically praises the woman he is singing about. It would make any girl feel special.
I personally love this song because the lyrics …

The Bigger Picture - When Western Trap Is No More Fun
I have had an extremely pessimistic attitude towards trap music for a long time. The position on this is clear: this genre does not have a big future, it is difficult to develop, and due to the huge number …

Knowing that I have wanted to learn to play the drums for years, my daughter and son-in-law bought this set for me for Christmas a couple of years ago. I don’t know what they paid for them since it was a gift but I know that they have been …

I for the life of me do not understand why in the world you need 6 people to carry one song. That said, I actually find myself enjoying the vocals of Danity Kane. I heard ‘Damaged’ on the radio and realized it’s not like all the other R&B drivel …

MGMT is a band that I’ve just started to listen to, and the first song which really got me hooked on them would have to be Electric Feel. Coming from their first record, Oracular Spectacular, Electric Feel is certainly a track to be an accurate representation of that album …

I have been a huge Def Leppard fan for forever. So when “Songs From the Sparkle Lounge” came out I knew it would be in my collection soon. It is a fantastic album. Any Def Leppard fan is sure to love it. I aquirred it …

Black Crow Blues is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on Another Side Of Bob Dylan. Unlike a lot of Dylan’s earlier works, this track isn’t driven primarily by an acoustic guitar and Dylan’s voice, it’s driven by a piano and Dylan’s voice. Although this may not seem …

I have always been a pretty big fan of Christina Aguilera’s music. Since the days of early hits like “Come on Over” and “Genie in a Bottle,” I have remained a faithful fan. Even when the music industry was divided between Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears back in the …

This is Marilyn Manson’s 2nd full length album, released in 1996 on Interscope Records. The album as you can imagine raised much controversy, the band received death threats, people protested the band, the videos still received airplay on tv, and the songs did great on the radio. Not many …

This is the song that is always playing in the radio during Mother’s Day and Women’s day. Even the variety programs, the artists there are singing this song when the occasion always involved women. I am not a fan of Billy Joel but I like his songs absolutely. And …

Last Night by Az Yet is a very sexy song, but not suitable for the young to listen. How I wish that the lyrics are a bit ‘cleaner’ so I can put it on for my young nieces and nephews to hear.
The song is actually very direct …

Taylor Guitars have been a highly respected and trusted guitar maker for the last four decades. Since 1974, Bob Taylor and company have been making quality, high-end guitars. That is still true today with the Taylor GS guitar line. As a long time acoustic guitar …

Politically Uncorrect by Gretchen Wilson and Merle Haggard is a song about how what we stand for is not what majority of the country stands for now days. All anybody cares about is money and not the people who work hard and serve our country. That is true now …

Part 9 in the “Trapped In The Closet” series picks up right after Part 8. Officer James begins to hear a noise in the kitchen and starts searching around - behind the fridge, under the table - nothing, but he does …

To be honest I have mixed feelings about this album. There are certain aspects of this music that I really enjoy, that I truly appreciate. I think that the Killers moved onto a brand-new level that is worth praise. But at the same time there are those aspects of …

The music was good, but how the mighty Dixie Chicks have fallen. Years back, they became country music outcasts, right in the middle of being huge successes. They made some untoward comments about then President George Bush. It was their end singing country. I believe …

The fact that JLS were chosen to do the Children In Need Song for 2010 shows how popular they have become. I think it was a lovely type of ballad that they did and another example that they have more than one string to their bow. It’s also easy …

The video clip to the music Face of Love - Wajah Kekasih by Siti Nurhaliza is pretty eerie. In it, Siti wore this particular long and draggy over-sized white long dress and with hair that were let go, and it was such a scary sight.
But she was …

I was never really into Reggae as a genre of music but if I was ever to get into it then the legendary Bob Marley would serve as my personal entry point. All the more fitting I thought then, that his first album I would get is entitled —˜Legends’.
It …

In early 2007, there was news that Coldplay will release an album that will be different from the three previous albums. I was afraid, that this experiment will be a problem for Coldplay, who has become the leading band. However, after hearing that there are 10 songs on the …

Being a successful singer, did not always have to have a beautiful voice or be able to demonstrate excellent vocal quality. Sometimes with a lot of limitations, a singer capable of providing the best and can be enjoyed by the fans. Dido is one of the singers, who know …

This album introduced me to this exciting band from New York. I remember I downloaded this album in the summer of 2006, very soon after it was released. I got to stumble upon this band while I was reading about Sonic Youth. I read somewhere online that a band …

Why Jennifer Lopez has gone in producing this video with only her as the star, I do not know. What I can tell, is that she could have made more sales with this awesome track (as it really has some interesting new beats!) if she would have featured other …

Lulu is a collaboration between Metallica and Lou Reed. An odd collaboration to say the least, the lyrics to Lulu are based on a play, but the track listing oddly doesn’t follow the story in any chronological order which makes me feel as if this isn’t a concept album. …

Aaliyah
“4 Page Letter”
One In A Million

The Fallen Angel is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their record Brave New World. The best way that I can describe the instrumental opening of this track is that it has a very driving sound to it both from the three guitarists, Harris’ galloping rhythm, and …

I bought this Ibanez RG 550 BK two years ago,it was my second guitar with floating bridge (floy rose) system.I needed a backup guitar with floating bridge because my covers band plays songs from hard rock guitarrists like Van Halen,Pantera,Joe Satriani and all of these guitarists have this type …

After all of the fuss over Arnel Pineda’s You Tube performance that won him the honor of becoming Journey’s new lead singer, I bought the album to see if he could carry the title.
I have mixed feelings about the recordings. I’m forever a loyal Steve Perry fan, so there …

Overview —“ Wake Me Up When September Ends, the fourth music video released for American Idiot by Green Day makes commentary against the United States going into Iraq. The music video definitely returns to the form of a performance and story music video, this time the story is extremely …

Electioneering is a song by Radiohead which appears on their third record OK Computer. I’m going to say right away that Electioneering truly isn’t like the rest of the songs on OK Computer, or really like many of the songs by Radiohead for that matter. This isn’t to say …

This song is a nice combination of both singers…Nelly and Fergie.
It starts off basically with Nelly leading the pack while Fergie is the main provider of the Chorus of the song with Nelly bringing up the raer or ending of the chorus. She does an absolutely great job in …

Overview —“ Until It Sleeps, the first music video released by Metallica for their album Load, is significantly different from any of the previous music videos that they had released up to this point in their career. In fact, just about everything about not only the video but also …
