The Grateful Dead - Overseas Stomp (The Lindy)

New Moon Movie Soundtrack
I’m sorry. I just can’t like the books. I can’t stand the movies. I have no fangirl fantasies of being swept away by a semi-dead 108-year-old virgin who wants to carry on tales of how he would destroy me if he made love to me and …
Eminem - The Real Slim Shady - Single
A class track from Eminem, as much for it’s simplicity again but it’s cool. When he refers to the shock of someone seeing a white person I think it sums up the feeling of surprise that people had when this great rapper turned up on the world scene and …
Wait For You by Elliott Yamin
I love this song, Wait For You by Elliott Yamin so, so much. In fact, I would listen to this song track like almost everyday, it’s just impossible not to hear it. It would be so, so romantic if a guy could sing this song for me personally …

The History of Rock, 2000 Album by Kid Rock
This album is really great. I was actually very surprised to find out that this album was not an actual album of new material but it was a compilation album that consisted of the songs Kid Rock had written for his early albums in the 1990s, when he was …
Hoobastank : ForNever
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 …
Billy’s Christmas Wish by Red Sovine
Billy’s Christmas Wish by Red Sovine is one of the few Christmas songs that makes me want to cry every time I hear it because of how it talks about a poor boy that has run away. This song is about a boy who’s dad is in jail and …
Cream - Goodbye
Overview - Goodbye, Cream’s final record, is an album split into three previously heard live tracks and three brand new tracks recorded in the studio. Both of these categories has something to offer that the other doesn’t and this concept is actually a pretty interesting one. If I were …
The Beatles - I’ve Got A Feeling (Song)
I’ve Got A Feeling is a song by The Beatles which appears on their final record, Let It Be. The song starts off with a nice guitar riff before McCartney comes in with a pretty tame vocal delivery, tame in comparison to the delivery that he reaches by the …

Cherry pie by Warrant
Cherry pie by Warrant is a song that most guys I know now days still like cause of the lyrics even though it seems perfectly harmless it’s not sorry. This song is another one that if weren’t for my friends I would have never grown to like it as …
“Deth Red Sabaoth” by Danzig (LP, 2010)
It has been six long years since the relatively unimpressive “Circle Of Snakes” record, but the long wait has been far worth it. To the people who thought Glenn Danzig was finally on his way out, this epic release gives them a sure wake-up call. With quality that surpasses …
Never Gone by BSB
BSB’s album “Never Gone” was released in the June of last year. Before I could put my hands on one, the stock was finished! I hadn’t realised that BSB were still in so much demand! Well, the album is so cool, I haven?t yet stopped listening to it! The …
“Be Without You”
“Be Without You”
Performer: Mary J. Blige
Every since I can remember, I have been a fan–I use the term loosely–of Mary J. Blige’s music. I say I use the term loosely because I don’t really consider myself a fan: Fans stand out in the rain for concert tickets; fans plaster …
Little Voice by Sara Bareilles
I find this debut album title, Little Voice by Sara Bareilles not that bad. I think young singers nowadays are awesome and that they have a very good quality-like voice. She sounds very nice and lithe-like, and almost like a soothing gentle kind of music and believe it …
‘Sweet Southern Comfort’ by Buddy Jewell
As one of the most popular country music songs between the years 2003 and 2005, the song ‘Sweet Southern Comfort’ by the first ever ‘Nashville Star’ winner Buddy Jewell is one that I will never be able to shake from my mind.
This wonderfully written song follows country music …

Dear Mr. President by Pink
I was very surprised by these lyrics, but I’m glad that Pink was able to convey her feelings to the president like this. She is a strong woman who is not afraid to exercise her rights. It is obvious that she didn’t have nice things to say about the …
Green Day - 2000 Light Years Away (Song)
2000 Light Years Away is a track by Green Day which appears on their album Kerplunk. One thing I’ll note that I like right away about this song is that the bass is extremely prominent in the mix and you can also definitely hear this sense of energy coming …

Handshakes at Sunrise - Circa Survive
As one of the earliest songs from Circa Survive, “Handshakes at Sunrise” remains one of my favorites, if only for its sentimental value. Displaying a sound that would become standard for the band, you get a feel for where they started, and how the sound of their early music …
Will Smith,Born To Reign
An absolutely brilliant album with no swearing or explicit lyrics.One the entire family including kids can listen to.

Thom Yorke -Black Swan (Song)
Black Swan is a song by Thom Yorke which appears on his solo debut record, The Eraser. Although The Eraser did not strike me as an album which had that many great songs after a few listens, Black Swan was certainly one of the songs which did manage to …
Pink Floyd - The Wall (Side III)
Overview - Side III of The Wall is, in my opinion, the strongest side of the entire album. The one thing about this side of the album is that it’s extremely dominated by Waters on lead vocals whereas on the previous sides it was at least a slightly better …
Thinking of You by Katy Perry
One of the best songs I ever heard. This side of Katy Perry, which is somewhat serious, is very surprising. Katy Perry is a bold artist writing songs about realities in life. One of these songs is Thinking of You.
Its lyrics talks about losing a loved one and the …
Bring Me the Horizon (Rock Band)
I can’t remember exactly how I found out about the band Bring Me the Horizon, but what I do know was that it was a little after their song “Throne” had been released in 2015. Since then I’ve become enamored with their music, and they’ve become one of my new …
To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar soundtrack CD
The To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar soundtrack CD is pretty representative of this extraordinary movie which starred Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Legazamo as drag queens. While not every track is a hit for me, several of them are.
The movie, and the CD, opens …
Winner (song) by Jamie Foxx featuring Justin Timberlake and T.I.
I was searching for a positive affirmation quotes on the net when I bump on this lyrics. Then I remember from reading the lyrics that I have heard this song playing as the background song for NBA Playoffs. In addition, I was right; it is the official song for …
Album : Chris Norman - Time Traveller (2011)
Chris Norman may not exactly be a household name these days, but let me assure you that no matter who you are there is a good chance that you have heard at least one or two of his songs in your life. The main one would be LIVING NEXT …

Bob Marley ‘Legends’ Album
I was never really into Reggae as a genre of music but if I was ever to get into it then the legendary Bob Marley would serve as my personal entry point. All the more fitting I thought then, that his first album I would get is entitled —˜Legends’.
It …

Green Day-American Idiot CD
This is an ambitious work from a long-standing fan favorite. When Green Day emerged with silly punk tunes ten years ago, no one would have ever imagined they would rise to such heights. This is an epic work. While it does have songs that are easily …
Song: Man on the Silver Mountain by Mago de Oz
Man on the Silver Mountain by Rainbow is one of my favorite songs of all times. Ritchie Blackmore’s hard rock guitar style is unbeatable and the very riff of Man on The Silver Mountain is one of the best riffs ever. Ronnie James Dio will always be one of …
