Kunst, 2013 Album by KMFDM
I think that this album is one of the albums by KMFDM that you can listen to but I wouldn’t describe it in any ways as essential. This band is releasing an album every two years, and I’ve always thought that there might be the danger of them simply …

American punk-rock band Green Day released their latest album in 2009. 21st Century Breakdown takes the group further along their progression towards conventional, radio-friendly pop-rock, but with a more grand, “classic rock” style which gives the work a little more credibility.

James Darren: The Best of James Darren CD

With her video, “Single Ladies: Put A Ring On It” attracting over 45,000,000 views on YouTube, it’s no reason why Beyonce Knowles is securing her spot as the number one “Diva” on the music charts. I tried to ask myself why the video was so important, so I watched …
