Paramore’s latest album Riot was a total hit. This rock album has 14 songs on it. All different, some slow, some fast, some hard rock, some soft rock, all with a different meaning. It has For a pessimistic, im pretty optimistic, That’s what you get, Hallelujah, Misery business, when …

Barbra Streisand: Duets CD has to be a winner just from the basic premise — Barbra, other great singers, hit songs. It’s a superb combination from the get go.
The liner jacket is really nice because it lists the songs and includes a photo of Barbra with the other …

Hurricane is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his record Desire. One thing I should point out about Hurricane as it’s quite a long track, around eight and a half minutes, so if you aren’t really a fan of longer songs, this track may not be that …

One of my favorite albums of all time is Alanis Morrissette’s first internationally-released album, Jagged Little Pill. This was the album which sky-rocketed her to fame and which won her the Album of the Year Grammy in 1996.
I was a tween at that time, and this …

Queen, quite simply a legendary band, with the best entertainer of all time fronting the band. An absolute classic that is always played when a sports team wins a trophy in the U.K, is We Are The Champions.
What I love about this song is the very start. The way …

Sara is a song by Bob Dylan which is the final track on his album Desire. I’ll be honest and admit right now that this is one of my favorite Dylan songs throughout his entire catalogue. The track starts off with a somewhat ominous tone before leading into a …

The Stratocaster is a very versatile guitar, as it is …

“Hollow” is the last track on “Vulgar Display of Power”. The song happens to be one of the plethora of singles that appear on the album. Needless to say, this is a classic metal album that everyone should own. Although it is technically Pantera’s 6th studio album, most people …

The self-titled debut album, Harry and the Potters, sounds as if it was recorded by a couple of high school guys with guitars sitting around in their living room–which, of course, it actually was. Ironically, that’s what makes this CD so great, particularly for fans of Harry Potter.
Harry and …

Once many people get to know me it will soon become clear to them that I am not the type of person who likes listening to soul music. In fact, I think many people will be surprised to find out that I actually know a lot about old soul …
