Iron Maiden - Charlotte The Harlot (Song)
Charlotte The Harlot is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their self-titled debut record. The track opens up with a lighthearted guitar riff, although the bass is more prominent in the mix, and the whole introduction has a very moving rhythm in my opinion. The song makes …
Titanic: A New Musical - Original Broadway Cast Recording CD
I saw a performance from Titanic: A New Musical on TV and was hooked. It might have been on Rosie O’Donnell’s old talk show, but whatever it was, I thought the performance was solid. Plus, as a student of the Titantic, I had to get this CD …
One Last Dance CD
The CD to the movie One Last Dance is incredibly dynamic and awesome. It truly takes the listener on a journey that is powerful and emotional. This is the story of three dancers, once torn apart and now brought back together in a time of sorrow, but they …
Misty Blue by Mary J. Blige and Monica
Misty Blue by Mary J. Blige and Monica is an amazing song that I’ve watched live on one particular concert; not sure what it is, but it truly rocks.
Both of their voices and vocal chords combined, makes a surprisingly very nice version of Misty Blue. Misty Blue …
Soundgarden: Flower
Soundgarden’s Flower is an aboslute must-have for any Garden fan, or any fan of rock music! The single contains two other fantasic songs: Toy Box and Head injury.
Released in ‘88, this three-track mini super album from Soundgarden is an absolute classic. Chris Cornell’s voice rips through the speakers, …
Adele - Hello (Song )
The Queen is BACK. I repeat, the QUEEN is back!
No other singer took the storm the way Adele did when she surprised released her post-21 song, “Hello”.
I know everyone knows Adele’s name ever since 21 became a global phenomenon a few years ago. Songs like “Rolling in the Deep”, …
Something Else by Good Charlotte
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 …
Thom Yorke - The Clock (Song)
The Clock is a song by Thom Yorke which appears on his debut solo album, The Eraser. The track opens up with a simple rhythm as more instrumentation gradually begins to join in to make the song have a fuller overall sound. This simple rhythm continues on for a …
Red, 1974 Album by King Crimson
This album of five songs is a diamond. I got a copy of it rather early in my music-listening career, when I was about thirteen years old. The guy who sold me this record was insisting: If you liked the King Crimson album In the Wake of Poseidon, you …
Kurth & Taylor: Kurth & Taylor CD
The reason I own Kurth & Taylor: Kurth & Taylor CD is because I’ve heard Wally Kurth sing many times on the soap opera, General Hospital, and always enjoyed it, rather it was a lullaby or a rock tune. When he started to put out some CDs, I …
White horse by Taylor Swift
White horse by Taylor Swift is a song that makes a lot of sense to me because it describes a lot of relationships now days. It makes even more sense to me because I know what it is like to live in a small town and fall in love …
The Who - A Quick One (Side I)
Overview —“ Side I of The Who’s second album, A Quick One, is a pretty nice mix of traditional sounding songs, more energetic rock and roll songs, humorous songs, and just downright strange songs. I think that a lot of this mix is due to how the songwriting on …
Weezer - Thought I Knew (Song)
Thought I Knew is a song by Weezer which appears on their self-titled record, specifically The Red Album. What’s interesting about Thought I Knew is that it actually isn’t sung by Cuomo which is quite rare to hear in a Weezer song, although I believe there a few songs …
Megadeth - Mastermind (Song)
Mastermind is a song by Megadeth which appears on their album Cryptic Writings. The song opens up with a heavy guitar part before giving way to a nice bass fill with the guitar rhythm coming back in and out. The guitar itself soon doubles up on this bass fill …
Pink Floyd - A Saucerful Of Secrets
Overview - A Saucerful Of Secrets, Pink Floyd’s second effort, basically abandons the extremely psychedelic, experimental, and chaotic tone that made their debut record, The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, what it was. Although the band still does have some experimental parts, and creative at that, the mood …
“Snows In July” song by Craig David
Craig David, who was once considered a protégée to Michael Jackson because of the sales of his first album “Born To Do It” really saw his career take a toll down the wrong street on his sophomore album and the ones that followed.
But in 2012, after jumping in and …
Megadeth - Rust In Peace
Overview —“ Rust In Peace, Megadeth’s fourth album, is considered the band’s greatest achievement and it’s also my personal favorite album from the band. For one thing, Dave Mustaine and Marty Friedman never sounded so good together as they do on this album, the way that Friedman’s solos work …
Attak 2002 Album by KMFDM
Attak is a great piece of music. If you haven’t yet heard about this album, and about the band KMFDM, it is quite possible that not many roads will lead you to this piece of music, but that would be a real loss for any music lover, and I …
Slither by Velvet Revolver
One of Velvet Revolvers biggest hits of all time is the song Slither. It is off their debut album Contraband. I really like the raw feel to this song. It starts off with sort of a pick scratching by Slash with a really cool bass line by Duff …

The website allhiphop.com is one of the biggest, and most visited hip hop websites in the world. It gives its members a daily plat forum to all the hip hop news. It is run by great people, and good writers who know the hip hop culture. The site was …
Amber
If you’re looking for an alternative to Britney Spears, one that isn’t so obnoxious and well known, you might really like Amber. I don’t think she’s as widely known, but that doesn’t mean anything because I only found her last year on itunes. She has a sweet voice and …
The Rolling Stones - Something Happened To Me Yesterday (Song)
Something Happened To Me Yesterday is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their record Between The Buttons. The track starts off with a humorous sounding brass section in the right channel of the track which gives the song almost a circus like feel. Jagger comes in …
Scars On Broadway - Babylon (Song)
Babylon is a song written by Scars On Broadway which appears on the track listing of their debut self-titled record. I will be very simple right now and say that I think this is the most developed track on the entire album and certainly has the best songwriting on …
Kill at Will: Ice Cube CD
Wow what can I say this Kill at Will album by Ice Cube was very violent! He was very pissed, and he spoke his mind on this album. Kill at Will has very explicit lyrics, and he is very violent on the album. This is a great album to …
The Killers, Day and Age
Every once in a while a band comes along that has such a great effect on me that I can’t help but pay attention to them. The Killers have come out with a great album in Day and Age. Their sort of music is the type that I really …
OJ Da Juiceman - The Otha Side Of The Trap
OJ Da Juiceman hits the scene with his debut album —˜The Otha Side Of The Trap’, and proves that he is ready for mainstream success. This album is not for everybody, as a majority of the songs are “trap” songs, and a majority of the CD is about selling drugs …
Mariah Carey’s Greatest Hits album
I remember I bought the CD from Amazon and I couldn’t believe that it was sold at a very cheap price. I bought it right away and was happy to receive it. I like it because aside from the price, I love Mariah Carey so much she’s my idol …
Alone by Heart
Heart is an American band composed of two females with truly extraordinary great vocal powers. Both of them composed the rock band but they really make heart-warming songs. Unlike most bands, this two really make good music.
I like many of the songs of Heart. I always listen to …
Needle and Thread - The Reign of Kindo
One genre of music that I feel is hugely underrated and underdeveloped is jazz/rock. It seems that rarely will I find a good jazz/rock combination band, despite the fact that the two styles of music compliment each other so well. The Reign of Kindo is a band that stands …
Primer 55-New Release CD
Primer 55 isn’t a very well-known band, although I believe they had a song on a popular soundtrack, perhaps the Resident Evil movie? But this CD is quite a solid effort, maybe even great if you’re into the kind of hardcore tinged with funk sound they bring. …
Bob Dylan - One More Weekend (Song)
One More Weekend is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his album New Morning. The starts off in a lazy and laid-back fashion with a blues sounding rhythm with Dylan coming in with the vocals. I don’t like the use of background vocals on this track as …
System Of A Down - Sugar (Song)
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 …

This sad tale tells the story of a little girl, neglected by …

Thanks for the mmrs by fall out boy
Thanks for the mmrs by fall out boy is a song about a guy having a one night stand with a girl and thanking her for the memories. That pretty much sums up the whole song for you. This song is on their cd from under the cork tree. …
Brad Maule: Living it Up CD
The reason I know Brad Maule is from his role on the daytime soap opera, General Hospital, where he played Doctor Tony Jones. As a result of that role, I met him a couple of times at events and thought he was a nice guy. He sang …
Beautiful Ones (song, Mary J. Blige)
You need not be a die hard Mary J. Blige fan to appreciate some the rare gems on her albums. On the “Mary” album released in 1999, there is one song in particular that really caught my ear. It’s called “Beautiful Ones” (not to be confused with …
Metallica - Fuel (Music Video)
Overview —“ Fuel, probably the most aggressive and fastest songs from either Load of Reload, is the opening track to Reload. I have to admit that I feel bad to the people who started to listen to Reload and then heard this track as the first song and then …
Iris - Goo goo dolls
This song is my old time favorite. I first heard this song when I watch the movie ‘city of angels’ years ago. This is one of the official sound track of the movie.I downloaded this song so I can hear the real meaning of it. I fell in love …

Bossa Nova Stories by Eliane Elias
I don’t know how to say this, but I’m so in love with jazz music lately. Especially after I’ve listened to Bossa Nova Stories by Eliane Elias. I do not realize that Jazz music, or rather Bossa Nova could be really attractive and seductive. It makes me …
Aerosmith ‘Music From Another Dimension!’ album
Released in November 2012, “Music From Another Dimension!” is Aerosmith’s 15th studio album and the first since their last album released back in 2004 titled “Honkin’ On Bobo”. This latest album features 15 brand new songs and is full of great material that I think will be …
Andrew Jackson Jihad - Back Pack (Song)
Back Pack is a song by Andrew Jackson Jihad which appears as the fourth track on their record Knife Man. Opening up with a brooding rhythm guitar, the vocals come in soon enough and I would characterize this song as having more of a ballad feeling. Although the previous …

Summer of 69 by Bryan Adams
This is my favorite Bryan Adams song. This is a rock song with energetic tunes, energetic steps, friendly lyrics. “Those were the best days of my life” punch line like this makes you feel nostalgic. Adams has sung this song in his typical unorthodox voice which some how suits …
Iron Maiden - Purgatory (Song)
Purgatory is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their album Killers. Purgatory starts off with a quick and aggressive guitar riff in the left channel while a reinforcing rhythm can be heard in the right channel before all of the instruments start to go down the middle …
