Zooropa 1993 Album by U2
This album is a remarkable work of art. There is an atmosphere on this record which is unparalleled. If the previous U2 album was brilliant, this album is post-brilliant. The previous album, Achtung Baby is a collection of very strong tracks, whereas this album feels more effortless and easy. …
Jefferson Airplane - Rejoyce (Song)
Rejoyce is a song by Jefferson Airplane which appears on their record After Bathing At Baxter’s. Just as a note, the title of this track is spelled as “rejoyce” rather than “rejoice” to pay homage to writer James Joyce, the author of Ulysses. The song starts off with a …
Different Gear, Still Speeding 2011 Album by Beady Eye

Dear Mr. President by Pink
I was very surprised by these lyrics, but I’m glad that Pink was able to convey her feelings to the president like this. She is a strong woman who is not afraid to exercise her rights. It is obvious that she didn’t have nice things to say about the …
Metallica - Through The Never (Song)
Through The Never, another one of the more aggressive songs on The Black Album, isn’t obviously as good as songs from the first four records, but nevertheless another pretty solid track, similar to Holier Than Thou in that respect. Although the vocal melody is pretty catchy on this track …
Andrew W.K. I Get Wet
I Get Wet is the debut album by Andrew W.K., a guy who seemingly appeared from nowhere with the release of this album in 2001, the music is heavy, but not heavy enough to be metal, it’s hard rock and every song here is about partying (or almost) the …
Paul Anka: A Body of Work CD
Oh, how I loved Paul Anka for decades. Then he dumped his wife after decades of marriage and five kids (at least five, could have been six — my brain doesn’t recall). As much as I love his music, I look at him now and I just groan. …

Hold Me Down - You Me At Six

Cannabis Corpse - Dead By Bong (song)
“Dead By Bong” is the 5th song off of Cannabis Corpse album “Beneath Grow Lights Thou Shalt Rise” which was released in 2011. It was produced by Erik Rutan of “Hate Eternal” fame and whom I might add produced some of “Cannibal Corpse” newer albums. In other words, it …

Cee Lo Green - Forget You - Single

Frank Sinatra - That’s Life - Single
That’s Life, another fine, fine effort from the one and only Frank Sinatra. It’s quite a laid back track, but again the meaning behind the lyrics is very good.
How often do you have ups and downs in one year? How often do our aspirations and emotions change? All the …
Lana del Rey - Love (2017 Song)
No one does “vintage music” better than Lana Del Rey. The first time I listened to her debut album Born To Die a couple of years ago I was left awestruck, unable to make anything good the following hour because my mind was filled with, “How the hell did …
Garth and Walmart by Garth Brooks
Garth and Wal-Mart is a parody done by Garth Brooks. I love this song. It should be a wake up call to all Americans that Wal-Mart is part of the decline in our lifestyle and economy here in America. Wal-Mart has already run out millions of small businesses who …

The Righteous Brothers (musical group)
I think that one classic soul group a lot of people, young and old would be familiar with would be the one called “The Righteous Brothers”. While I don’t think that a lot of young people would necessarily know the group immediately by name, since I didn’t either …
“Precious Burden”, by Sophie Zelmani
“Precious Burden” is the 2nd studio album from Swedish pop sensation Sophie Zelmani. Her second album takes a darker turn compared to her debut album (Sophie Zelmani) as it deals with the concept of death and loss.
The album opens with the gloomy “Leaving”, a heartwrenching ballad about a woman …
Shawn Mendes - Stitches (Song)
When I first heard Shawn Mendes around 2 years ago, the time he debuted “Life of the Party”, he reminded me very much of Justin Bieber. His voice has the same flavor, youth and coldness of the star that sold out at that time.
I think the difference between …
