Overview - Abbey Road, The Beatles’ penultimate effort, is a very nice collection and mix of tracks which compliment each other very nicely - particularly on the second half of the record where transitions from song to song just flow very well. Abbey Road has some of The Beatles’ …

As far as my musical taste goes, I would say that I am more of a soul, and rap type of guy, but there are always about four or five songs from all genres that I really enjoy and thus add to my collection.
Of all the genres though, I …

“Dad, do you know Taylor Swift?”
Aaron Dessner was asked this question by his eight-year-old daughter. Through the mouth of a baby she spoke the truth, because that day a musician from The National recorded one of the songs on “folklore”. “No” - Dessner brazenly deceived the child. The release …

When You Smile is a song by the Flaming Lips which appears on their album Clouds Taste Metallic. Opening up with a free atmosphere, a couple guitars can be heard coming in and out of the track with effects on them which gives them a very light and airy …

Chop Suey is a song by System Of A Down which is one of their more well known tracks from their second studio effort, Toxicity. The track opens up with an acoustic guitar riff played by Malakian before a lead distorted guitar comes in as well along with an …

Death Magnetic makes for a nice return to something close to the Metallica of, something that makes me a very happy guy. At times this album can sound a little formulaic, almost like the band doesn’t quite remember what they once were, or how to rediscover that spark. However, …

“Live To Win” is the second solo album from Kiss front man, Paul Stanley. It was released in 2006, and as a huge fan of Kiss, I was very excited to hear this album. I thought his first solo album was incredible, and I was just as …

For as long as I can remember I have absolutely loved this band. I can remember dancing to their songs at dances back in the sixth grade and loving every second of it. I am a huge rock fan, all kinds of rock, but I …

I love all of Savage Garden Songs; I bought their CDs, bought their extra albums and enjoyed every hit that made it to the charts. Their first hit was “To the moon and back”, with a different twist to the song’s melody and is kind of unique to be …

I was on the way home from work this evening when a gentle, lilting little love song came through the speakers. I was listening to Sirius radio which came with the car we just bought and decided to settle onto The Coffeehouse Channel. “Soul On The Line” …

Minority is a track by Green Day which appears on their album Warning. Minority does open up with an acoustic guitar part, but after this ends, the rest of the song is really just pretty much traditional pop punk which is obviously led by three powerchords played on a …

The Face of Love CD by Sanctus Real was given to me by a friend. I hadn’t heard of them before, so I was a little unsure as to whether or not I would like this cd. As first listen, I was mildly impressed, but as I listened to …

I love Coldplay. They have this style that no other band has. Chris Martin’s voice is so unique that when you hear him singing, you instantly know that it’s him. Before I bought this album, I would often listen to “Yellow” and “The Scientist”. The album X&Y has so …

Good Night is a song by The Beatles which is the final track on their self-titled album, or The White Album. Good Night opens up with this very majestic sounding string section which has this very corny sound to it to be honest but I know this is what …

San Tropez is a track by Pink Floyd which appears on their album Meddle. To be honest, when I listen to this track I don’t exactly get the feel of a typical Pink Floyd song. Although Roger Waters’ voice is quite distinct and it’s clear that it’s him, his …

I Belong To You is a song by Muse which appears on their most recent studio effort, The Resistance. This track starts off with a distinctive piano riff followed by the drums and Matt Bellamy’s vocals joining in singing the verse in a pretty melodic manner which goes pretty …

Dear Doctor is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their album Beggars Banquet. The vocals start in right away along with an acoustic guitar part and a slight harmonica as well which gives it somewhat of a folk rock sound in my opinion. Jagger’s vocal melody …

Long time, no see. The boys from sweden show their work once more.
This is an album wich many of the new listeners will find attractive, though old ones will find rather dissapointing. It´s more cliché than ever, leaves you with a feeling you have listened to the whole album …

I have to be honest. I was not a big fan of Katy Perry’s newest music video for E.T. featuring Kanye West. My problem with this music video is that it falls into the trap that a lot of music videos fall into these days. It is way too …

A Perfect Circle released their debut album,”Mer De Noms,” in 2000 on the Virgin Records Label.Maynard James Keenan took a break from his original band Tool to collaborate with fellow musicians and friends.The album generated critical acclaim and reached commercial success.The album relies on the concept of first names …

Alligator is one of the singles off of Tegan and Sara’s latest album Sainthood, and one of my favourites off of this album. I am a huge Tegan and Sara fan, and their music rarely disappoints me. This album most definitely moves in a new direction from The Con, …

“Open our eyes, to see the things that make your heart cry, to be the church that you would desire, your light to be seen”. This is the first lyrics of the song by Joel Houston that I really appreciate since it was symbolic but with meaning to my …

Head Like A Hole is a song by Nine Inch Nails which appears on their debut album, Pretty Hate Machine. The track opens up with some industrial sound effects before a drum pattern comes in which gives the song a solid rhythm. Soon enough a synthesizer comes in over …

Ego Brain is a song by System Of A Down which appears on their record Steal This Album. The track starts off with a very nice acoustic guitar riff by Malakian before the drums kick in along with the vocals. Malakian and Tankian sing together on this track and …

I am a preschool teacher and my preschoolers love The Learning Station’s “Tony Chestnut and Fun time Action Songs CD”. These preschoolers love dancing and singing to the great songs that are on this CD, plus it is a great way for them to burn off some of …

Begs and Achin’ is a song by The Flaming Lips and the final song on their third record, Telepathic Surgery. Like the band has done in some of the preceding tracks on this record, the general sound of Begs And Achin’ is somewhat of a punk rock sound, but …

Shontelle is an R&B singer-songwriter from Barbados. This aspiring lawyer-singer is also the one who sang T-shirt, which became my theme song whenever I am taking a bath. Impossible is another hit single coming from her that is far much better than T-shirt because of the story. The story …

No Cars Go is a song by Arcade Fire which appears on their second record, Neon Bible. Before getting into the bulk of this review, I should mention that this is a re-recorded version of a song that appeared on the band’s self-titled debut EP record. The song opens …

‘Santa Claus is watching you’ this is a parity song by Ray Stevens. It is based on what many people tell their children when they are little that Santa Claus can see you when you are good and bad so you need to be good all the time. It …

Good Charlotte Life styles of the rich and famous is a song that I agree with in the sense that rich people have no right to complain that there life is hard because they don’t even have a clue what a hard life is. The part I agree with …

As I was updating my files of Christmas albums, I was able to buy few new ones and one of them is this album “Mary Did You Know? 17 Inspirational Christmas Songs From Today’s Top Country Artists”.
I purchased this album after seeing the selections were performed by top artists. …

“These Are My People” Is a song by popular American country music artist, Rodney Atkins. Country Music in general is a genre that I enjoy thoroughly in every aspect of it, from the memorable lyrics to the up-beat and catchy tunes, guitar riffs and the voices. There have been …

For those of you whom are unfamiliar with Jerry Cantrell, he is not only the lead guitarist for Alice in Chains, but plays a humongous role in voicing most of the songs also. Although Layne Staley (bless his heart) was the main vocalist for the group, Cantrell played a …

Apotheosis sound of the band Jimmy Miller, who in the mid-60s reconverted the beethelian copy into a single group, introducing the black sound across the Atlantic. Not surprisingly, for this reason, I found the very Ry Cooder and Al Kooper in the credits, putting the album in a worthy …

This album is really good, and I think that it deserves a lot more credit, when one looks at it retrospectively. By this I mean that most people associate Blur with their first records, and the songs that were on their first albums, whereas the later ones kind of …

The CD Wynton Marsalis: Mr Jezzy Lord- Standard Time Vol. 6 is a CD of jazz music with trumpet as the dominant instrument. My favorite songs include Red Hot Pepper, The Pearls, and the New Orleans Bump. The CD has a great jazzy upbeat feel throughout. …

Taylor Swift is truly a good singer-songwriter. I really love her debut album which really presents wonderful music with such a nice composition, arrangement and lyrics.
I really love the song ‘Teardrops on my Guitar’. According to Taylor Swift in an interview, this is a story of her personal experienc. …

If you love music, as I do, you will regularly be hunting down not only brand new music, but looking for the older stuff, too. hey, I am not too proud to say that I own a turn table and can listen to actual records! A lot of my …

“El Rodeo” happens to be on Kyuss last studio album …And The Circus Leaves Town. Although the actual album wasn’t Kyuss best albums compared to the excellent “Blues for the Red Sun” and equally good “Welcome to Sky Valley”, it did churn out this little diddy. “El Rodeo” happens …

You probably haven’t heard this guy yet because I know most of you have always been fan of pop music a.k.a. what’s popular right now. However, if you have been the one that likes the like of Bon Iver, Ryan Adams, Butch Walker and other veterans in the “Indie” …

I have to admit that N-Dubz make me laugh both with their behaviour and their dress sense but the more I hear their music the more I appreciate what they do and it’s mad to think that such good music can come from this band but they do it.
Playing …

‘Don’t cha is the first single from Pussycat Dolls’s first album. I really like this song because it’s so energic and can make me cheer up.
‘Don’t cha is tell about the girl who feel that a boy like her, she feels that all the boy like her because she’s …

One, the fourth track of And Justice For All, marks the third ballad released by Metallica and yet another song which this band would soon become pretty heavily associated with. Another thing to note is that the first music video which Metallica ever released was for One which ended …

Enter Sandman, the opening track of Metallica’s fifth record, is probably the one Metallica song which is the most well-known from either fans or just listeners and probably has one of the most recognizable riffs in metal, ironically written by Hammett and not Hetfield. I don’t want to get …

I Just bought MGMT’s new album, on the strength of their single ‘Electric Feel’, which I like very much. Having listened to the first track, I want to like it and do like the sound; I just find the lyrics a bit hard to swallow. I am not sure if …

This is the 21st Century is a song by the progressive rock group Marillion, which was first released in the 1990s but which has had several further releases since that time, some of them in a (to my way of thinking) considerably inferior acoustic version that was cut to …

I am not a fan of soul music, but the reason I know of the music group “The Stylistics” is because they are one of my father’s favourite music groups and he would play their music over the years.
A couple years ago, one of my father’s good friends gave …

MFEO by Kavana is very catchy and I used to listen to this particular track over and over again after I came back from school.
I even bought Kavana’s single of MFEO. Yes, such was my craziness during those times and I would smile whenever I think about …

The Shadows fall band is all hype and I do not know what the big deal with them is. Shadows Falls really has no good songs out there and quit frankly at first they were all metal and than they thought they had talent so they tried to sound …
