American Gangster by Jay-Z
The lyrics in American Gangster by Jay-Z can be quite disturbing for those with a faint heart. But I took a peep and listen to them anyway the other day. Was not that bad. The songs are actually based on the same movie title. Talking about …
I’m Already There by Lonestar

Motorhead-Jumping Jack Flash (song)
Many people may the Rolling stones for one of their biggest hit Jumping Jack Flash. This song seems to be be watered down with tons of bands locally or famous who do their own spin on ot. One of the bands that really did a terrible renditon of this …
Muse - Unnatural Selection (Song)
Unnatural Selection is a track by Muse which appears on their most recent record, The Resistance. Unnatural Selection is one of the more guitar driven tracks on the entire album which is something that I enjoy a lot about it. One thing about The Resistance is that a lot …
The Chainsmokers ft. Halsey - Closer (2016 Song)
The Chainsmokers is definitely everyone’s favorite feel-good hitmaker right now. I have been a huge fan since Roses and I would really like to eliminate their song #Selfie from their discography because that song is atrocious and a disgrace in the music industry. So did this new Halsey collaboration …

Animal Collective - Sung Tongs (Album)
Sung Tongs is an album released by Animal Collective which follows their release of Here Comes The Indian. As an album, Sung Tongs has been hailed as Animal Collective’s breakthrough record, and I must agree with this statement. Whereas I found Here Comes The Indian to be pretty weak …
“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 …
Till I hear it from you (song) by Gin Blossoms
One alternative song from the 90’s that wedged in my mind. It became the official soundtrack of the movie Empire Records. The movie was weird, even the casts, that is why I will not forget about this song. Gin Blossom is an American rock band that popularly sang Hey …
Mer De Noms (A Perfect Circle Album)
I still have a special love for rock music, but to be honest, there are very few bands that I can honestly say that I am and have ever been a devout fan of. As a teenager I was generally a fan of the music and the way it …
Gospel Hip Hop Radio.com

Paradise City by Guns N’ Roses

Anberlin: Cities

Garden of Serenity by David & Steve Gordon
Garden of Serenity by David & Steve Gordon is one of the few relaxing audio CDs that I did not enjoy. The reason I did not find this CD to be as relaxing or as peaceful is because the nature sounds on this CD are really much too loud …
Jimi Hendrix: Live At Woodstock
Live At Woodstock is probably the best recording of Jimi Hendrix live behind Band Of Gypsys.This is pretty much the reason most people have heard about him through the generations.His cherished rendition of The Star Spangled Banner is as beautiful as it is distinctive.However, you will find a special …
The Heart of Things (album) by John Mclaughlin
The height of jazz fusion was very obvious during the 70`s and 80`s. It still remains until the 90`s up to the present but may be quietly in other parts of the world where it is very much appreciated.
MTV has gotten control of the music business through media …
Boys II Men
The all male musical group Boys II Men was an African AMerican soul music group who was for the most part poular from the early to late Nineteen Nineties. Thus I would hear their songs throughout my childhood being played on the radio, and I would even see their …
Billy Idol - Rebel Yell (Album)
Despite its significant commercial success and continued airplay, I still consider Billy Idol’s second solo outing to be one of the most underrated albums ever recorded. For me, every single track on Rebel Yell is a winner, and they still sound as fresh today as they did a quarter …
Tomahawk : Anonymous
Anonymous does not play music like Faith No More like the previous albums. Kevin Rutmanis absence of a bass player, able to change the concept of music that normally hard, even though the age of the personnel are old enough. Tomahawk lowered the tempo in playing music? Tomahawk …
Eminem - Lose Yourself - Single
For me, one of the best songs of all time. Whatever people think of Eminem, or rap music, I just love it.
This song was for his film 8 mile and once you watch the film it all makes sense, but to me it all made sense prior to the …
Jagged Little Pill album by Alanis Morrissette
One of my favorite albums of all time is Alanis Morrissette’s first internationally-released album, Jagged Little Pill. This was the album which sky-rocketed her to fame and which won her the Album of the Year Grammy in 1996.
I was a tween at that time, and this …

Puff Daddy ft. Hurricane G.
“P.E. 2000″
Forever
Bad Boy Entertainment
Director: Martin Weisz
I’m not quite sure where things exactly went wrong for Puff Daddy. Perhaps he was lacking in what he does best or perhaps people just got tired of the Shiny Suit Era that he created? All I have to say …
The band Deicide
The band Deicide is a metal band that are horrible. What they sing about I have no idea because there is not one song that I can understand by them, yes it is metal music but still there are a lot of bands out there where you can figure …
Famous in a Small Town by Miranda Lambert
I have known about this song for a while now, since it came out a few years ago. But I had no idea that it was by Miranda Lambert. The only time I had ever heard of her is when she won the award for best female video at …
Bugera 333XL 120W tube head
This thing is a beast plan and simple. More then enough power to rattle dishes in the china cabinet.
I was looking to upgrade from my Crate GX-130C to a tube amp. Short of selling limbs to get a Mesa or Engl head, I came across the Bugera.
They were …

Hip Hop Album: Nas Illmatic CD
N-A-S those are the letter that spell greatness. Illmatic is regarded by some as one of the greatest albums of all time. To understand how great this album is you would have to take a look at how Nas started his career. At 17 Years old he was already …
Like A Stone - Audioslave
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 …
Speak Now Deluxe Edition by Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift seems to be the new “it” girl these days in both the worlds of country music and pop music. Her records sell tons of copies and her concerts sell out. She has been extremely successful, and after purchasing and listening to her newest album entitled “Speak Now,” …
Bob Dylan - Pretty Peggy-O (Song)
Pretty Peggy-O is a traditional song which is covered by Bob Dylan that appears on his self-titled debut record. I’ll say right now that the version of this song which I was always familiar with was the version by The Grateful Dead, a version which I actually enjoy quite …
Seymour Duncan Blackouts
Seymour Duncan active humbuckers. Amazing.
I’ve got these installed in a late 80’s Ibanez that I did a custom finish on. They sound amazing. They bring out more mids and highs without going to the point of being overpowering. Great bass response too.
To start from the beginning, I was rebuilding …
Coma off Use Your Illusion
An epic song off the Use your illusion record that is definetely worth listening to is the song Coma. this is their longest song peaking at 10 minutes and thirteen seconds. This song is written exclusively by Slash and Axl Rose. Axl really sings cool lyrics that are almost …
Back to Basics Album by Christina Aguilera
Christina Aguilera first became a huge success with songs like “Genie in a Bottle”. That was back in the late 90’s when she was battling it out with fellow former Mickey Mouse Club star Britney Spears for the spotlight. In my opinion, she has always been the more talented …
Michael Buble’s Home Single
I just love the nostalgic sound that the song Home makes, and the sweet croon that blends with it. It is, to say the least, an amazing composition, an original that beats with the times. Home is like a good book, the first time I read it, …
John Denver: Rocky Mountain Christmas CD
John Denver: Rocky Mountain Christmas CD is a really nice album to play during the holidays especially if you like that crisp, outdoor feel, because that is present all through this record. Denver was known for his environmental beliefs and the song choices for this album reflect that.
It …
Pink Floyd - The Wall (1979)
The Wall is Pink Floyd’s, or better said, Roger Water’s overpompous, pretentious double album. A rockopera in the true sense of the word, since it has a storyline, imagery, and overarching musical theme. It became Pink Floyd’s most recognasible albums over history, along with The Dark Side of The …
Beck - Modern Guilt
Following up the lackluster 2006 release “The Information” should not be a difficult thing for loser iconoclast Beck, but “Modern Guilt” is yet another disappointing effort in a period of artistic decline that began with 2005’s “Guero”. It was in 2005 that Beck began to recycle ideas he had …
Our Bright Future by Tracy Chapman
Another talented person in my eyes would be Tracy Chapman. You just need to listen to Our Bright Future by Tracy Chapman to know that she is a real singer and the real deal. Most of her songs are about life and love in general and sometimes about …
