I am one of the later generation of Aerosmith fans. In fact, when I was about 11 or 12 I had thought of them as my all time favorite band. At the time I did not think anyone was more amazing than their lead singer Stephen Tyler or their …

I was hearing this song on the radio for quite some time and of course it was only natural that it was the song on my last-song-syndrome and I had downloaded this on Limewire and was really enjoying this tune. Nelly did another great job singing this music and …

R. Kelly ft. Usher
“Same Girl”
Double Up
Jive Records
“Same Girl” is a rather refreshing breath of air in R. Kelly’s chronology of singles and music videos. Big time. This music video is of “Dow Low (Nobody Has to Know)” and “Trapped in the Closet” caliber. “Same Girl” is the second single …

David Allan Coe sings the song If That Ain’t Country. It’s an odd song at best that remind me of how people believe in stereo types. David Allen Coe has always been a good singer but I was shocked the first time I saw a video with him in …

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 …

I Remember Learning How To Dive is a song by Animal Collective and is the final track to appear on their 2005 EP, Prospect Hummer. Opening up with an incredibly simple percussive pattern, Bunyan rejoins the recording and contributes the vocals to the track with a multi-layered vocal delivery. …

Ever heard of Jack’s Mannequin? You should have. Not because of rising popularity or the fact that the band recently accompanied Plain White T’s and Panic! At The Disco on tour, but because of the melodic, piano-filled tracks that fill debut album “Everything in Transit”. Jack’s Mannequin brings a …

Colbie Caillet has recorded the feel good song of the decade with the song “Bubbly”. It doesn’t matter who you are, if you want to feel good, listen to “Bubbly”. It is a love song really, but it doesn’t feel as though it has to be limited to love …

Sit Down. Stand Up. (Snakes And Ladders.) is a song by Radiohead which appears on their record Hail To The Thief. The track opens up with a fairly eerie sound to it as it’s led by percussion and other distant instruments before establishing a more solid rhythm and Yorke …

I have come to terms with the fact that most song writers lose their edge as they get older, and create more and more boring music. I guess it is just a fact of aging that people calm down and get more settled into a decent lifestyle, then decide …

Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number

There isn’t any other video that reeks of 90s style Hip Hop and R&B other than Aaliyah’s “Back And Forth”. This song and video was her debut on the music scene back in the early 90s, off of her first …

Everyone seems to love Taylor Swift these days, including me. But I liked her before she got big, when she first came out with songs like “Tim McGraw” and “Teardrops on my Guitar”. On Taylor Swift’s new CD, she has this song called “Forever and Always”. If you get …

For the band Skid Row, their image may be best defined by their larger-than-life frontman Sebastian Bach and his powerful, soaring screams but one cannot dismiss the fact that the band’s over-all sound is the key ingredient in
making Skid Row one of the most noted rock outfit to ever …

The band’s eight studio album and second on Virgin Records, the second without Brian Welch, and the first without drummer David Silveria. The band used Terry Bozzio, Brooks Wackerman and Jon Davis on drums. The band Re-Recording most of The Matrix’s tracks for the album, weeding them out entirely. …

Holier Than Thou, the third song off The Black Album, is certainly much more aggressive than the previous two tracks of Sad But True and Enter Sandman. Although the aggression and speed of Holier Than Thou doesn’t match the first four records, it’s probably one of the more aggressive …

Lil Wayne —“ The Dedication 3
Lil Wayne dropped the dedication 3 in 2009, and it was definitely a letdown, coming from a Lil Wayne fan. Lil Wayne performed well on the mixtape but the members from his entourage failed to shine.
Firstly, DJ Drama, the mixtape DJ, talks and yells …

I first heard the song entitled Defense on a local radio station and I was instantly hooked to it. This was mainly because of the background music which is just addictive and just makes you feel like getting up and dancing as soon as you hear it. It wasn’t …

The genius musicianship of R. Kelly was put to the test again on his 4th album “TP-2.com”. The album name serves as a continuation from his first album “12 Play”, with this album acting as the sequel: “Twelve Play-2”. Although 12 play was named because it consisted of 12 …

This record is fabulous. When people talk about the Cure and their best albums people usually mention such albums as Seventeen Seconds, the 1982 album called Pornography, the 1989 Disintegration. All of these three albums are kind of pompous, grand. This album, the 1985 The Head on the Door …

Progressive rock is really one of the most diverse sub genres of rock, and easily among my favorites. The way that progressive rock seems always toy with time signatures and ambient sounds keeps the music fresh for me, even when listening to songs that I have heard hundreds of …

I am not sure there are very many people that will enjoy this soundtrack, but I sure did! If you are a fan of the original Star Trek, be prepared for an audio treat! On this soundtrack is not music, but actual sound effects that were used on the …

Hinnom, TX is a snog by Bon Iver which appears on their self-titled second album. The track opens up with a sound which I can only describe as being very airy and light. Once a listener hears the intro, it honestly sounds as if they’re listening to a song …

No air by Jordin Sparks featuring Chris Brown is a song that is beautiful to listen to. To me the words are intoxicating in the form of there meaning and to most that makes no sense what so ever. This song is like listening to water gushing from …

This is an album complication of some of the most famous rock songs from the world’s best bands. There are about 15 songs from the album, as coming from the best 90’s acts like Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Stone Temple Pilots and REM. Since these are the bands I grew …

Three years does not make Hoobastank experienced many changes, at least from their style of music. ForNever, the four albums that came after Every Man For Himself in 2006, seemed to be a repetition of this band. My Turn, the first single released on October 13, 2008, is the …

When it comes to music I know when I really like an act or artist because I buy an album pretty much based on one or two songs and then just seem to listen to these songs over and over again.
This was the case with James Morrison. His song …

I Need A Miracle is a song by The Grateful Dead which appears on their album Shakedown Street. The track opens up with a nice rock and roll rhythm which gives a nice ground for the vocals to sing over. The vocal melody on this track works very well …

Probably one of the craziest glam bands out there in the eighties that wasn’t very popular back in the day was the glam metal band nitro. They had everything from the highest pitch sreaming from screamer Jim Gillette and the blazing guitar work of Michael Angel Batio. One of …

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 …

Of all of the lesser known metal bands that I follow, if there was one of them that I can’t understand their lack of wider success it would have to be HIBRIA. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like they are totally unknown, and in fact their homeland of …

“Hell Chose Me” is the 3rd outing from death metal/hardcore band Carnifex. Let me start off this review by saying this completely sounds like a new, completely unrelated band. The progession from their second album “The Diseased and The Poisoned” is so noticeable with this album, that the two …

“Fun, Fun, Fun” is one of the best known of The Beach Boys’ 1960s hit songs, and it has kept what I think is a deserved popularity right up to the present day. It is a short song, at only two and a third minutes in length, and it …

Everyone goes through their phases where they are obsessed with that one song and are afraid that because they are listening to it so much, that they might end up just getting sick of the song. Well, I am currently obsessed with this song and have been for a …
