System Of A Down - Toxicity

Metallica And Lou Reed - The View (Song)

It’s Not Enough by The Who

Green Day - Waiting (Music Video)
Overview —“ Waiting, the third music video released by Green Day in promotion of their album Warning would have to be what I would consider an unneeded music video. The song Waiting itself is a pretty mediocre song in my opinion and the music video would have to fall …
Fancy by Reba McEntire
There are only a select few songs that I like by Reba McEntire, and that’s simply because she sings very old-fashioned country songs. There is nothing wrong with that, but it isn’t really my style. She has an amazing voice and that really awesome country twang, which is one …

Personally, I have a great disdain for country music, but during the year 2004, many great country songs made their way onto the airwaves and ‘There Goes My Life’ is one of those wonderful tunes.
