Jimmy Cliff
I usually don’t like listening to the new reggae songs because many of them tend to have lyrics and sound which just don’t appeal to me. Nevertheless, I am still into the older reggae music and artistes, especially some who had internationally popular songs in the nineteen eighties. One …
Megadeth - Burnt Ice (Song)
Burnt Ice is a song by Megadeth which appears on their album United Abominations. The track starts off with an extremely quick guitar solo and a pounding rhythm behind this solo. The solo isn’t that great but I guess it’s an alright way to start off the song. Mustaine …

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
This is my favorite post-Beatles solo album. I also really enjoy John’s Plastic Ono Band, and Paul and Linda’s Ram, but All Things Must Pass is so trancendentally amazing that no other release comes close. I have a copy on vinyl that I got from my dad’s old records.

Warwick Rockbass Corvette Bass guitar

Pink Floyd - The Wall (Side II)
Overview - Side II of The Wall by Pink Floyd is a huge improvement after side I, which wasn’t terrible but at the same time it didn’t really make me too eager to hear the rest of the album. Side II just had better songwriting overall, and although there …

Bob Dylan - Ring Them Bells (Song)

Donny Osmond: Christmas at Home CD
I’ve noticed a pattern with the Donny Osmond: Christmas at Home CD as far as the liner jacket is concerned. The lyrics are there, but they are so hard to read. It’s all jumbled together into crowded paragraphs. I’ve seen it before on other liner jackets …

The Cranberries - Everybody Else is Doing it so Why Can’t We? (1993)
This very first Cranberries album was somehow, never my favourite. Maybe the raw simplicity, or maybe the short songs, I couldn’t appreciate its beauty. Of course, only until, you actually experience all those things Dolores O’riordan writes and sings about, only then, can you grasp the essence of this …
On My Highway (Single)- Jason Aldean
I was going through a music spree yesterday, just youtubing good music and I came across this song. I love country and Jason Aldean, so finding this song and falling in love with it was not really a surprise for me but a lot of things in this song …

Jesus of Suburbia - A Song By Green Day
If I had to quickly sum up the song “Jesus of Suburbia” by Green Day, I would have to say that it is a teen angst anthem surrounding the lives lived by most suburban teens.
The song was featured on the “American Idiot” rock opera album and has spawned a …
Iron Maiden - Wildest Dreams (Song)
Wildest Dreams is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their album Dance Of Death. Wildest Dreams starts off with a pretty powerful guitar rhythm which has a pretty driving feel, it doesn’t seem to be all that aggressive but it certainly lends itself nicely to Bruce Dickinson …
