Genesis is LEGENDARY British band in the progressive rock genre. Originally, I wasn’t too keen on them, but after Phil Collins took over from Peter Gabriel, that is when I became aware of Genesis as a band, and actually began to like them and respect them for what they …
Can’t Fight This Feeling (song) REO Speedwagon
First, I never thought that REO Speedwagon is the name of the band who sings this song. I thought that REO Speedwagon is a name of a person. I was first introduced to REO when I was in third grade and I remember this song is playing on school …
The Elements of Freedom Album by Alicia Keys
It has been quite a while since a singer has released an album with so many singles that I really, really like with the last such albums going back to Tamia’s self titled album, Puff Johnson’s ‘Miracle’ and Anita Baker’s ‘Caught up in a Rapture’.
Alicia Key’s latest offering, ‘The …

Taylor Swift’s You Belong with Me Single
I first was acquainted with Taylor Swift’s music through her single You Belong with Me. I kept hearing it over the radio and I thought it was a catchy song. I am no teenybopper but somehow it was not long before the single appealed to me. …
La Bouche (music group)

Laundry Service Album by Shakira
Shakira is one of those artists who has been extremely successful yet somehow manages to fly under the radar until she has huge hits like “She Wolf” or “Beautiful Liar”. She has always been one of my favorite female recording artists because she is an amazing vocalist as well …
It Takes a Man by Aaron Lines
This song is one of the realest country songs I have ever heard. My older sister wanted me to make her a country mp3 cd for Christmas, so that’s about one hundred or more songs. So I randomly came across this song, I didn’t even plan on listening to …
Under My Skin Album of Avril Lavigne in Canada
The “Under My Skin” album is Canadian pop diva Avril Lavigne’s second foray at original album making. It was released between 2004 to 2005, single by single.

Speak Now Deluxe Edition by Taylor Swift

Reign of Terror 2012 Album by Sleigh Bells

There is quite a variety of songs. Miss Underwood …
Green Day - Last Night On Earth (Song)

She’s like the wind by Lumidee
She’s like the wind by Lumidee featuring Tony Sunshine is a song I like even better than the original which is done by Patrick Swazy. This song is a beautiful redo and I love listening to it over and over again. The words and the melody are like running …
Animal Collective - Infant Dressing Table (Song)
Infant Dressing Table is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their fourth release, Here Comes The Indian. The first thing I should mention about Infant Dressing Table is that it certainly takes its time to establish any type of rhythm. For the first few minutes of this …
“Ignition (Remix)” (2003): R. Kelly
R. Kelly
“Ignition (Remix)”
Chocolate Factory
Jive Records
Director: Billie Woodruff.
The director of the utmost ghetto R. Kelly video “Feeling On Yo’ Booty” returns here for an even more ghetto video “Ignition (Remix)”, the first single and music video from R. Kelly’s album “Chocolate Factory”. I guess R. Kelly finally realized his …
Teenage Dream Music Video by Katy Perry
This video used the most simple scenes to make the video so extra special. It gave me a feeling of happiness whenever I watched it and it filled my head with good memories when I was in high school. I wouldn’t think a video by Katy Perry would be …
Metallica - All Nightmare Long (Song)
All Nightmare Long is the track which seems to be the one track from Death Magnetic which the majority of fans would deem as their favorite. I believe that the top three tracks which fans really enjoyed from Death Magnetic were The Judas Kiss, That Was Just Your Life, …
In Flames Come Clarity CD
I never thought that In Flames would ever change up some of their style(i.e the cheesy guitar riffs and the drums), and they did just that. Also, with the added keyboardist, added some atmosphere to their music, which is nice.
THEY ADDED A GROOVE! I have always wanted In Flames …
Timbaland and Magoo
Timbaland and Magoo is one of the coolest rap groups from the 90s era of rap. They had some really cool beats that were really unique and one of a kind. I really do think that all the lyrics that Timbaland and Magoo used to rap about were really good. …
4 Minutes CD
If “4 Minutes” is any indication of how the new Madonna CD is going to sound, I think I’ll pass. While this song, produced and sung by Timbaland, Madonna and Justin Timberlake, has a few catchy beats, it can’t be compared to any of the artists earlier hits. The …
Lady GaGa - Born This Way
The current queen of pop has released her long awaited 3rd album, and at least the cover of the album hasn’t dissappointed “little monsters” I feel this album has left me wishing for more, it doesn’t have the mass appeal or catchy chous’s of the Fame Monster but is …

Puff Daddy ft. Chuck D. and Jam Master Jay
“P.E. 2000 (Rock Remix)”
Forever
Bad Boy Entertainment
To ensure any possible success with the original “P.E. 2000″, I guess Puff Daddy decided to do two remixes of the song, including this rock remix right here, but even this is not enough to salvage …
This is the 21st Century (song) by Marillion
This is the 21st Century is a song by the progressive rock group Marillion, which was first released in the 1990s but which has had several further releases since that time, some of them in a (to my way of thinking) considerably inferior acoustic version that was cut to …

Take That - Rule The World - Single
When Take That made their come back this was one of their first songs and to be fair, having never been a Take That it caught my imagination.
The start with Gary Barlows vocal style and the piano just felt so inspired and straight away I felt as though this …
“Freaks, Faggots, Drunks, And Junkies” by GG Allin (LP, 1988)
By the late 80’s, GG Allin’s music has become obsessed with murder, necrophilia, sex, drugs, and et cetera anti-social themes. His voice has become a heavily distorted yell, making his vocals sound like a 60 year smoker yelling. The recording quality has decreased to the point that some songs …
Andy Williams: Merry Christmas CD
Andy Williams is one of my favorite singers. He has a warm and tender voice that can lull me to sleep or take me away to unknown parts of the world. I can sing along with him, or just let him serenade me. His voice is …

Don’t Trust Me by 3OH!3 (pronounced 303) is a great song that has recently come out. However, due to its popularity, the song has become slightly overplayed. I had this song recommended to me on itunes months before it became popular and now it played so frequently, …
N-Dubz - Strong Again - Single
