Darius Rucker
This guy is awesome. If you don’t remember, he’s the guy from Hootie and the Blowfish. He came out with a country album and it’s amazing, simply amazing. His voice is so on the money; it’s unique and beautiful and rich. I really and truly do not like country …

Elliot Yamin
I thought Elliot Yamin got robbed in the American Idol when he was booted out at the top five of the competitions. Now after releasing his debut album, which has sold over seven million copies in America and more worldwide. I think the real America has spoken.

This is 3 doors down’s first major label album released in 2000 on Universal Records. You could call this album post grunge I guess, there are heavy parts but it’s not really a heavy album. Singles include Kryptonite Loser, and Be Like That. The album is a really interesting …

Raise Your Glass Single by Pink

Insane Clown Posse

Acacia strain the band

Suicide Silence - The Cleansing (Album)
