“How Do Like Me Now” by Toby Keith. A Music Album
To be completely and totally honest I am not a huge, die-hard country fan. I am the type of person who likes a mixture of music. That being said several years ago I was in walmart when I saw Toby Keith’s album “How DoYou Like Me Now”. If memory …

Usually I’m good with words, but I’m finding it hard to describe just how amazing this band is. It’s a shame not many have heard of them, this is a band every rock-lover should hear! I guess you could say I’ve heard “Nothing Like This” before!
Heh, little reference to …
Metallica - Blackened (Song)
Blackened, the opening track of Metallica’s fourth record, opens in a similar fashion to Fight Fire With Fire, the opener from Ride The Lightning, and Battery, the opener from Master Of Puppets. In fact, now that I think about it, Blackened also seems to share a common lyrical theme …
Victoria Shaw: Old Friends, New Memories CD

Sublime - Seed (song)

Jefferson Airplane - Long John Silver
Overview - Long John Silver, Jefferson Airplane’s seventh effort, is an album that truly relied on Jorma Kaukonen, if he was not on this album, it would’ve been miles worse than what it was. Although the album really isn’t that good by any means, I’d say just average at …
