Something Else by Good Charlotte is a song that I like in some ways because it is about how every one wants something else no matter what they might have. It also is talking about how you can be any thing you want to be no matter what your …

“Alice in Chains” was one of the biggest bands of the 1990s. Some people said that their music was grunge. However, I think that their music was much more than grunge, as some of those people only say that because the band originated in grunge rock capital of …

I have come to terms with the fact that most song writers lose their edge as they get older, and create more and more boring music. I guess it is just a fact of aging that people calm down and get more settled into a decent lifestyle, then decide …

One of the tracks off of the Appetite for Destruction album that is underrated by many people but known to GNR fans is the song, Mr.Brownstone. This song is a pretty killer track and it has a heavy punch with an average tempo to it. The song starts …

Flavored synth pops and 80’s inspired rock beats coated the self-titled debut album of The 1975, an indie-rock band formed in England.
Quite an underrated band, I dare say. In a musical world crowded by popular acts and mainstream rock bands (such as One Direction and 5 Seconds of Summer), …

The Youth is the third track on MGMT’s second album, Oracular Spectacular. MGMT has frequently been called a neo-psychedelic band and I think that this track really demonstrates that, particularly the lyrics of the song. Listening to the first lyrics of the song, a listener should immediately get a …

I am as gullible to any “Earth Shattering” sound explosion of Orchestral music as a doomsayer is to the End Of The World. I am already a huge fan of some of the best film score writers such as Danny Elfman …
