Speaking of Finding Nemo, there is this one song that came to my mind all of a sudden and …

My opinion of this band has changed dramatically over time. When I was about 14, I loved this band. I got their album “The Young and the Hopeless” for my 14th birthday and fell in love with it. Then I got their first album and loved that one too. …

Looking back i can’t believe just how strong the thrash metal scene was in 1986. I mean not only did Metallica and Megadeth release instant classics but Slayer also got into the mix.
I think they were pretty smart though, because they made sure that they had a different …

Little did I know that so long as 50 years ago, a guy known as Captain Beefheart was out there satirizing the music industry and composing ridiculously respectable tuneage that can only be described as eclectic. Nana insert words here. Other possible terminology includes avant-garde, jazz, blues, and some …

She has become a mega-celebrity, hailed as a shape-shifting, provocative pop musical genius along the lines of Madonna, if …

It’s by Queen, so to that extent you think that it has to be a classic. It sounds good, Freddie leads it and it just sounds so passionate and inspired throughout.

It might be surprising to say this, but this album would have gotten a higher grade if it was a debut album by a band. But, in comparison to all the previous records that this band has put out, this one looks indeed like a kind of disappointment.
Modest Mouse …

From their The Plan CD, a project from the early 70’s that was done with much passion, Let Me In is one of my two favorite songs from this album. The album itself tells the story of the The Osmonds’ religious beliefs. Now one of the cool …

Wave of Mutilation is the third song off of the pixies 1989 album Doolittle. While many state Surfer Rosa as the overall best Pixies album, I would have to disagree and say Doolittle is my favorite album of theirs. There are so many great tracks off of it, with …

Oddly, I’m more of a fan of Randy Travis now than I ever was in his heyday. In part, I think that’s because I know how country music left him and others like him behind. The new herd treated the old guard unkindly for a while, and …

Perhaps the most common opinion, which circulates around the world about the AC / DC, says that the band has not changed since at least the death of the first singer Bon Scott. Considering that this death occurred twenty years ago, and that since that time the team …
