I have been a fan of Carrie Underwood since she won American Idol. Every song that she came out with after that I thought was really great and I truly believed that she was bringing country music to a completely different level. People started liking country music more than …
Song: Alejandro by Lady Gaga
Once again Lady Gaga gives us another amazing single. I love Alejandro with its throwback to past hits ranging from ABBA’s “Fernando” to Madonna’s “La Isla Bonita”. I have a hard time getting this song out of my head every time I hear it which is a …

What Was Lost
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 …
Erykah Badu’s New Amerykah part 1: World war 4
Erykah Badu’s “New Amerykah part 1: World war 4″ is a classic to me. I state this, because not a lot of people liked this album. With the release of her hit single “Honey” everyone thought the entire album would spawn similar sounding songs. They were wrong. I like …

Candlebox - Far Behind (song)
“Far Behind” is quite possibly Candlebox’s biggest single. In fact, it is the only song I actually know by them off hand anyways. The song reached the Billboard Top 20 in July of 1993 but wasn’t officially released as a single until 1994. The song appears on their self …
Green Day - Working Class Hero (Music Video)

Jesus of Suburbia - A Song By Green Day
If I had to quickly sum up the song “Jesus of Suburbia” by Green Day, I would have to say that it is a teen angst anthem surrounding the lives lived by most suburban teens.
The song was featured on the “American Idiot” rock opera album and has spawned a …

RBD live in hollywood
Live in Hollywood was made in RBD’s first L.A. (U.S.A) concert in January 2006 (Jan. 21st) in Los Angeles’s famous Pantages Theater. This cd is very cool and fun, because rbd is one of the best musical group that I already have seen. Their musics are impressive because there …
Metallica Kill Em All
Metallica’s debut 1983 album Kill Em All was going to be titled “Metal up your ass” but the record company made them change it before it’s release. This could be Metallica’s most impressive album, technically. The parts are faster then most anything by Metallica, the solos are huge, and …
Queen - This Could Be Heaven - Single
This seemed to be quite a heartfelt song from Freddie and Queen. His vocals seem quite relaxed certainly at the start but you can feel him building.
What he songs is very true. It’s as though he just can’t believe how people act on earth. What I do find interesting …
Please Come To Boston by David Allan Coe
Please Come To Boston is such a neat song but I did not realize that David Allan Coe sings it until I was surfing the internet the other day and stumbled across it. This song kind of reminds me of my husband. You see he is always wanting to …
Morphine’s Like Swimming
The album “Like Swimming” By Morphine is not what I expected from such an odd sounding band. When I really listen to this song, it is amazing. The voice that I hear makes me want to relax, sit back, and enjoy the music. Of course, I would not recommend …

Myley Cyrus - 7 thing
For a young artist, miley cyrus is pretty talented, she can act and sing. First time I thought that she can’t sing, but after her song, I think its good enough though I don’t like her behaviour, her song is goog enough to listen. Like this one, seven things.
This song …

One Direction - Perfect (Song )
Let’s all be real, only teens and fangirls went crazy for One Direction. In reality, nobody takes their music seriously. They have been releasing numerous radio-candy songs but they’re all bad in quality. Not that radio-candy songs are automatically bad (see Katy Perry), but their songs have been tryhard …
Weezer - I Can Love (Song)
I Can Love is a song by Weezer which appears on their self-titled album, otherwise known as The Red Album. The track opens up with a lone acoustic guitar which actually does not sound distant at all; the guitar carries with it a driving sound and it also sounds …
