The song ‘Along Came Jones’ by Ray Stevens is a classic type of song. It seems to be modeled after an old western movie where the bad villain takes a hostage and is foiled by a hero. The hero typically saves the hostage and is able put …

I’ve loved Barbra Streisand my entire life and never have I seen her happier than when she married James Brolin a decade or so ago. In ways, she’s been almost giddy, and as a fan, that’s fun to see. As Barbra says in the liner jacket for …

Oasis is a band that occupies a very special place in my heart. Their 1995 album, What’s the Story, Morning Glory was basically the first CD we ever had in our household, because back 1995 most people still listened to LPs, and so did we. That album is very …

In 1990, Helmet released their debut “Strap It On”, which packed one of the hardest punches of the early 90s. Two years later, they released their follow-up, “Meantime”, which was just as insanely brutal. In an era of some of the greatest rock n roll in history, Helmet came …

I really like this song. It’s absolutely the real thing that’s happening nowadays. I love how Christina sang this song which really gives justice to women. Even before women are being underestimated. They said that because we are women we cannot do this, we cannot do that. Other people …

Night Flight is a song by Led Zeppelin which appears on their album Physical Graffiti. Plant starts singing in with the song right away and wastes no time establishing the melody of the song. Throughout the first verse there’s nothing all that impressive to me so far, everything is …

End Of The Night is a song by The Doors which appears on their self-titled debut album. The track opens up with a very calm sounding clean guitar part which is soon accompanied by an organ as well as the bass line of the track and drums. Thus far …

“Caterpillar March” is the seventh song off of the stellar Kyuss album “Blues for the Red Sun” It is a rather short but powerful song, at only one minute and fifty six seconds in length. Despite being such a short song, “Caterpillar March” musters up more talent that can …

The first time I heard of the rockstar Lenny Kravitz was a couple years ago when I was in in my early years of high school. That was in the early two thousands, and I immediately feel in love with his number one hit at the time, “Again”. At …

Sugar is a track which appears on System Of A Down’s self-titled debut record. I believe that among the songs on that first record, Sugar is probably the most well known, along with War, because of the music videos made for them. Sugar certainly demonstrates System Of A Down …

As I mentioned in a couple other reviews, I like dance and electronic music. However, at one point in my life, I had a love for eighties dance and new wave music. Now most of what I would hear would be from listening to songs being played on the …

I picked this Christmas CD up last year at Barnes and Noble and it has quickly become a favorite! The Brian Setzer Orchestra is like swing music and jive. I love their songs and their spins on classics. For example, I have never been the biggest fan of Angels …

“Mule Variations,” though maybe not his most appreciated album, is probably in my top five by Tom Waits. It’s gritty, folk-based, but not really limited to genre. While not every track did it for me, the ones that did nailed it. And of course, with any album by Waits, …

I like the God Is a DJ single from Pink. There was a time when I would play it several times a day. Now, I only play it every now and then. The reason I am hooked to it is its dancy tune. It …

This 2002 album is a 2 disc set, the first featuring the bands hits, and the second disc has B Sides. It may have been released to complete a contract with Music For Nations. I usually don’t like greatest hits albums, because if I like the band, I want …

Overview - Obscured By Clouds, yet another of Pink Floyd’s efforts, is an album that tries to balance out instrumentals with more traditional songs. Personally, I give credit to Pink Floyd for putting four instrumentals on this album, two of them to open the record. Besides the four instrumentals, …

Look out for this name: Justin Bieber. He’s around 14, I think and this kid will really go far. In fact, he has experience singing and rumors have it that he has or is going to have a singing album coming up soon. I first saw him …

This song is so delicate to me and it is so sweet in some ways it makes me want to cry. This song is about how a young girl feels lost and wishes she could be the same as some one else. The world is bigger than any of …

Overview —“ Welcome Home (Sanitarium), the second of what I would consider to be considered Metallica’s —˜ballads’ is the fourth track on Master Of Puppets. I know that Metallica was criticized for putting Fade To Black, their first ballad, on Ride The Lightning and this song is pretty much …

Overview - The Number Of The Beast, Iron Maiden’s third effort and first with vocalist Bruce Dickinson (To replace Paul Di’Anno), merges excellent songwriting with excellent guitarwork.

Before The Lobotomy is a song by Green Day which appears on their album 21st Century Breakdown. The song starts off with a clean guitar riff that has a pretty melancholy tone to it and just a sad tone overall. Once Armstrong comes in with the very melodic vocal …

I was prepared to dislike the new CD my husband came home with the other day. I take pride in believing that I have much better tastes in music than he does, and while I know little about Iggy Pop’s recent work, I was skeptical about the new CD, …

The Judas Kiss, a second track on Death Magnetic which seems to be a fan favorite (along with All Nightmare Long) is yet another choice which I can easily understand. For the fans who remember the original Mission Metallica trailer, they’ll remember that the trailer contained a vocal section …

I Don’t Live Today is a song by The Jimi Hendrix Experience which appears on their album Are You Experienced? The track opens up with an interesting play-off between a lead guitar line and an interesting drum pattern. Hendrix comes in with the vocal melody pretty much immediately and …

Parabola is a song by Tool which appears on their album Lateralus. Just as a note, Parabola follows a track known as Parabol on the album and it’s pretty much meant that you’re supposed to listen to Parabol and then Parabola because it leads right into this track, just …

This is Sepultura’s 11th album, it is a concept album and a tribute to the Anthony Burgess novel A Clockwork Orange. The album was released January 23 of 2009, in my opinion the first highly anticipated metal album of the year, my hopes were really high, I love A …

El Camino is a great album, and I …

First, I never thought that REO Speedwagon is the name of the band who sings this song. I thought that REO Speedwagon is a name of a person. I was first introduced to REO when I was in third grade and I remember this song is playing on school …

Blitzkrieg is a cover from the metal band called Blitzkrieg which Metallica recorded sometime during the early 1980s as a B-side for Kill —˜Em All, if memory serves me correctly, and officially released on one of the disks for Garage, Inc. I have to say that if Metallica were …

I have a certain fondness for folky pop music, and an even greater fondness for female rock singers. Eisley is an amazing example of both these qualities, and “Invasion” is one of my favorite songs in their catalog. Making a song in the folk/pop genre as interesting as this …
