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.

It’s Not Enough by The Who

Album : Yes - Fragile (1971)

Christina Perri’s lovestrong. (Deluxe Edition) Album
A few days ago I bought lovestrong. by Christina Perri on iTunes. Now, I’m a huge Perri fan, so I was destined to like the album, but even so, I like it more than I thought I would. In fact, I’ve bought maybe 20 CDs in the past 12 …
Don’t Believe the Truth, 2005 Album by Oasis
Oasis is a band that occupies a very special place in my heart. Their 1995 album, What’s the Story, Morning Glory was basically the first CD we ever had in our household, because back 1995 most people still listened to LPs, and so did we. That album is very …
Metallica - St. Anger (Music Video)
Overview —“ St. Anger, the title track of Metallica’s 2003 release is one of many tracks that fans couldn’t stop criticizing and insulting. I don’t want to make this whole review where I give my opinion on the actual album itself, because I didn’t like it either, but this …

Radiohead - All I Need (Song)
All I Need is a song by Radiohead which appears on their 2007 release, In Rainbows. The song opens up with a section that I consider to sound very dream-like due to the heavy use of synthesizers and the very laid back rhythm created by the drums. Yorke comes …
Metallica - No Leaf Clover (Music Video)
Overview —“ No Leaf Clover, one of the two new Metallica songs written for the project in collaboration with The San Francisco Symphony, S&M, is sort of a clever play on words with a four leaf clover. Whereas a four leaf clover is generally associated with good luck, Hetfield …
The Right Stuff By The New Kids On The Block

Guns N Roses Chinese Democracy
For us those who are old enough to catch the tail-end of 80’s rock, rock icons Guns N’ Roses are definitely something we can be nostalgic about. Hard-core fans definitely miss the music of unique guitar sounds, equally unique and incredible song structure and craftsmanship and wildcat howls …
La Bouche (music group)

Eminem - If I Had (Song)

Trav’lin’ Light by Peggy Lee

Sublime - Hope (Song)

Weezer - Tired Of Sex (Song)
Tired Of Sex is the opening song on Pinkerton, the second album by Weezer. What strikes a listener immediately about this track, compared to any of the songs on Weezer’s debut album, is that it has a much rougher sound to it and isn’t quite as pop sounding. This …
50 curtis album

Avril Lavigne - The Best Damn Thing
The Best Damn Thing? Does this album really live up to that ambitious title? Well, in a word, no. Not in my opinion. But that’s a bit unfair of me because of several things. I’m not an Avril fan to be honest, I can’t seem to get along with …
Bob Dylan - House Of The Rising Sun (Song)
