Green Day - Paper Lanterns (Song)
Paper Lanterns is a track by Green Day which appears on their first album, 1039/Smoothed Out Happy Hours. Although the introduction of this song sounds like something I’ve heard from Green Day countless times before, I like how it sounds pretty raw and really doesn’t sound all that produced …
MGMT - Greyhoundredux (Song)
Greyhoundredux is a song by MGMT which appears on their first record, Climbing To New Lows. What’s interesting about Greyhoundredux is that it’s an instrumental track which surprised me to be honest. I mentioned in my review of Honey Bunny that you really can’t expect a young new band …

The Bends, 1995 Album by Radiohead
I think that The Bends is the album that best defines Radiohead. Of course one could find numerous reasons why OK Computer is a better record, but to me personally The Bends will always be on a par with OK Computer, even though it is lacking in some features …
Illmatic - Nas
I thought that the 1994 Illmatic by rapper Nas was a classic and is one of the best hip hop albums of all time. At the time, Nas was a relatively unknown artist and west coast gangsta rap artists were dominating the hip hop scene such as Dr. Dre, …

Corinne Bailey Rae Self Titled Album
The very first song I heard from Corinne Bailey Rae was —˜Trouble Sleeping’ and I immediately fell in love with it. All the better that it was dominating all types of radio stations, not just soul and pop, but even those that are known more for their up beat …

Songs by Susannah McCorkle, 2001
Susannah McCorkle is one of my favorite jazz singers. That?s saying a lot, because I love listening and watching women sing jazz.

Elvis Presley is no longer with us but he certainly is still a name that everyone recognizes. I remember as a child, listening to Elvis on my mother’s stereo. He was still alive and well, but he had gained quite a bit of weight by the time he passed …

Sevendust Next CD
I was a fan of Sevendust way back in my NU-Metal days. Their debut album was really good sans a few forgettable tracks, and at the time different from most of the music being released. Their vocalist, being R and B Soul singing trained, is able to present a …
X&Y (Coldplay)
I love Coldplay. They have this style that no other band has. Chris Martin’s voice is so unique that when you hear him singing, you instantly know that it’s him. Before I bought this album, I would often listen to “Yellow” and “The Scientist”. The album X&Y has so …

It is a rare occasion to find a band that does not rely heavily on the use of heavy guitar riffs and power chords to get their music to sound energetic and progressive. Circa Survive is just one of these bands, and “Oh, Hello” is a perfect example of …
The 1975, debut album
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), …
Stylistics
The Stylistics is or was a smooth soul all male singing group from the nineteen seventies. Although I have almost no interest in that kind of music, I know about them since my mother and father usually like listening to soul music from the sixties and seventies. I also …

Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me (1987 Album by The Cure)
I do not like this album by the Cure, and it is probably not going to be easy to explain why, because one could find numerous reasons to like this album, one could mention various facts and features of this album which make it better and stronger than the …
Donna Summer (singer)
One singer whose songs I have always been familiar with, is the singer Donna Summer. This came about as a result of two main reasons. The first was that I have heard her songs playing on the radio over the years and liked them, and the second reason is …
The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Ain’t No Telling (Song)

CD Louis Armstrong 16 Most Requested Songs

The Beatles - Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds (Song)
Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, a track written primarily by John Lennon for The Beatles’ record Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band would have to be one of the more psychedelic tracks which the band has written, or at least one of the tracks most heavily associated with …

The Black Eyed Peas (”musical” group)
Banal pop music is an easy target even for the less than brilliant observers among us, and cultural satirists regularly jab at flash-in-the-pan musical phenomena. Is it always deserved? Or accurate? Or eerily prescient in terms of where such acts are headed in the mainstream musical landscape? Perhaps not. …
Barry Manilow: Ultimate Manilow CD
Barry Manilow is one of my very favorite singers. I love his style and his vocal tones. He’s someone you can sing along with, and that’s a quality I like quite a bit. The CD Ultimate Manilow was issued in 2002 by the Arista label.
The booklet that …
