American Idiot, Green Day’s opening track to the album of the same name, is a song driven by political fury and those simple and basic punk riffs which the band always embraced. I don’t want to get into detail about the issue of Green Day —˜selling out’, if you …

Mother’s Little Helper is a song by the Rolling Stones which appears on Aftermath. The music isn’t anything too special on this track but the reason why I enjoy this track is because of Jagger’s vocal performance and the lyrics to this song as well which basically create a …

In my review of The Shortest Straw, I said it was one of two songs that I would pick if I had to choose individual tracks which represent And Justice For All as a whole, The Frayed Ends Of Sanity would be my second choice. I said that The …

I have used Yamaha PSR290 Keyboard while learning to play but as it didn’t have one touch voice change, and the price of Roland XP50 had gone down since the introduction of XP60 series, I bought a used Roland XP50 workstation for 100 pounds on e-bay. I had heard …

Despite its significant commercial success and continued airplay, I still consider Billy Idol’s second solo outing to be one of the most underrated albums ever recorded. For me, every single track on Rebel Yell is a winner, and they still sound as fresh today as they did a quarter …

Crush is a song by The Smashing Pumpkins which appears on their first record, Gish. Opening up with a nice melodic atmosphere, the band establishes possibly the most interesting sound I’ve heard thus far on the record. Though the parts are simple, the interplay among the different instruments is …

For me, one of the best songs of all time. Whatever people think of Eminem, or rap music, I just love it.

The song Teddy Bear is one of the many that Red Sovine sings that I like. It is considered to be a truck driving song but that makes no difference to me. I’m not a truck driver but I sure like the beat of the song. It makes me …

The Kenny Rogers: There You Go Again CD is labeled as enhanced and purports to offer some extras when listened to on your computer. One of the things I like about it is that when the home screen appears, instrumental music from the title track plays. When …

While this release is being marketed as an electric-blues album, the actual truth is that it’s a bit of a mixture. Across the album Damon Fowler flirts with a few different kinds of blues like swamp blues, delta blues and electric blues, but also adds some honky-tonk country elements …

Overview —“ As I have said in my past review of EMG pickups, it’s typically a brand that is associated with the metal genre due to past metal bands such as Metallica and Slayer using them, and then a lot of the modern bands using them as well. However, …

I heard —˜Death’ on the radio and immediately loved it. It’s something about the way that it slowly builds, “this fear’s got a hold on me —¦” just breaks out of the track followed by the heady guitar.
However, it wasn’t until I saw White Lies at Isle of Wight …

She thinks my tractors sexy by Kenny Chesney is a song for a guy who lives on a farm and has a girl friend who likes tractors. This song also ditches all other vehicles other than tractors. I listen to this song all the time because it talks …

This song, Do You Think I’m Sexy has 2 versions that I’ve listened to and I don’t really like both of these singers sounding. They are Paris Hilton and Cher. This song is actually a cover version which Paris did, but as for Cher, I might think this …

The new two-member (Mike Sheppard & Vicky Backle) indie band, What Was Lost, from Vernon, New Jersey seem to have a unique and emotional style. I’m not too sure whether it’s the slow, sad voices or the crying of the guitar that makes this band so touching, but …

Anybody who is not familiar with this record does not have any right to consider himself a music fan. It is the central record of the 1990s. This album is the representative of an entire generation of artists. In the 1990s industrial rock music was pretty popular, it went …

The Foo Fighters came about when the grunge band Nirvana ceased to be due to Kurt Cobain’s untimely death. I have always loved the Foo Fighters and the relationship to Nirvana has absolutely no bearing on my opinion of this cool band. I have seen them in concert as …

Country music performing artists have no shortage of songs that move people by making them take a look at how they live their own lives, and the song ‘The Little Girl’ by John Michael Montgomery is no exception.

The Album believe by Justin Bieber was the turning point in his career. This album was intended to show the singer leaving his childhood, sweet school romance styled music behind, and into a life of a teen/adult. Though many people were unsure this would work, I have to Personally …

Don’t Push is a song by Sublime and the fifth track to appear on their debut record 40 Oz. To Freedom. Opening up with a somewhat laidback feel, Don’t Push gradually builds up thanks to Nowell’s vocal performance throughout the track which features some harmonies and some multi-layered vocals …

WHen I was younger in my earlier years of high school, I had just gone into an alternative rock phase. I think that was about the same time which a new alernative rock singer named Michelle Branch emerged upon the scene. I liked her since I thought her songs …

You heard it when people say, “Pay attention to the lyrics, that’s where you know it’s true.” Well I think they are right and wrong at the same time. For the conventional thinking of everyone, a song is considered good because of its lyrics, but I think there are …

Relient K is one of my favorite bands of all time. They are a Christian rock band that seems to have found the perfect balance of Christian lyrics and meanings and great rock music. What makes them very unique is their outstanding versatility. They have some acoustic love songs, …

The song itself has a country beat …

If you like a guitar instrumentals and also like a style of bluegrass type playing with a side of Metal. Then check out John 5 most particularly Sugarfoot Rag off his album Vertigo. Ive always thought John 5 was a strange guy with his make up and being a …

I was never really a fan of the singer Billy Joel until only a few years ago. This might have been because a certain radio station personality would play his songs too regularly for me to appreciate them at the time.
Billy Joel is one singer whose history I …

Oneness by David & Steve Gordon is simply incredible. I think it is just about my favorite relaxing and calming audio CD that I have as part of my collection. The wind chimes, temple bells, traveling streams, flutes and more are just some of the instruments and sounds employed …

Throwin The Round Ball is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their second release Danse Manatee. In contrast to Runnin The Round Ball, this track has far less of a building feel to it, but it is also another instrumental. Rather than having a more traditional musical …

It is probably not very often to encounter for a band like the Cure to be criticized, or even to not be praised, but I think that some of their albums are not very good, and this one, their 1979 debut Three Imaginary Boys is such a record.
I think …

This song is so addictive!! And it’s been a long time since I heard this song, but I was so into it again because just now morning I was preparing myself after shower and I turned on the radio and I heard this song over the radio.

Dreamend is an underappreciated post-rock or showgaze band that has actually been quite productive over the last ten years. Stigmata Boy is one of their earliest recordings and has more singing in it than other of their albums. In most cases I don’t like to much of singing in …
