Barrio Fino by Daddy Yankee
I really love Raggaeton music and in my country, Daddy Yankee is hot, damn hot I tell you. I have this CD called Barrio Fino by Daddy Yankee and there are quite a lot of catchy songs. There are 20 over songs and all of them are certainly …
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (Song)
Wish You Were Here, the title track of Pink Floyd’s record Wish You Were Here is an example of one of the best songs I believe that Pink Floyd has written throughout their entire career. Wish You Were Here is driven primarily simply by vocals and an acoustic guitar, …
The Gorillaz - Rhinestone Eyes (Song)
Rhinestone Eyes is a song by The Gorillaz which appears on their album Plastic Beach. The track opens up with an electronic intro which has an interesting rhythm to say the least. The vocals soon come into the track and are delivered in a tone that sounds almost lethargic …
Green Day - Minority (Song)
Minority is a track by Green Day which appears on their album Warning. Minority does open up with an acoustic guitar part, but after this ends, the rest of the song is really just pretty much traditional pop punk which is obviously led by three powerchords played on a …

The Veronicas: Hook Me Up
I think this is one of the best cds they have out. It had a combination of different mood songs. “This Love” is basically a bittersweet love song. I can’t stop thinking about this song. “Popular” is a good club song. It’s catchy, has …
Metallica: And Justice For All
This was the last great Metallica album that stuck to the original formula.It welcomes the newcomer Jason Newsted and turns Metallica into a universal power house.Ironically, you can’t hear Jason Newsted’s contribution to the album at all.However, what that leaves you with is some of the most brutal and …
Misfits - Earth A.D.
Overview - Earth A.D., The Misfits’ final album with vocalist and songwriter Glenn Danzig, is honestly just an assault of aggressive music from start to finish without much of a break anywhere in between. To me, this description honestly
doesn’t sound very appealing at all simply because it sounds as …
Nas - I Gave You Power (song)
“I Gave You Power” is the 4th track off of Nas 1996 album “It Was Written”. Although this song isn’t technically a single, it is one of the more well known tracks off of “It Was Written”. This is one of the best songs to exemplify just how well …
The Music and Art that is Lykke Li
Although not well known in the United States until her song “Possibility” was featured on the “New Moon” movie soundtrack, Swede Lykke Li was already well known in her native country.
An independent musician, Li could best be described as a living, breathing work of art. If I could define …
Metallica - Harvester Of Sorrow (Song)
Harvester Of Sorrow, the sixth track off of And Justice For All, is a track which I initially never liked very much but now have come to gain at least a bit more appreciation for the track. I think that the main problem I had with Harvester Of Sorrow …
Muse - Citizen Erased (Song)

Breaking Benjamin-We Are Not Alone CD

Serj Tankian - Elect The Dead (Song)
Elect The Dead is the title track of Serj Tankian’s first solo album apart from System Of A Down. The track starts off with a moderately paced piano playing some simple chords which creates a sound which makes me believe that the song is certainly building to something. Tankian …
ZAYN - PILLOWTALK (Song)
More than a year ago or so, everyone was so devastated to hear that the heartthrob member Zayn Malik of the highly-popular band One Direction decided to leave the band. At that point, no one was sure why he decided to leave a band so popular. However, just a …
Van Halen - 1984
Overview —“ 1984, the final album that Van Halen released with David Lee Roth, was definitely not a disappointing final record with the original front man. I’m not a huge fan of Van Halen, although I do like some of their records and I actually managed to see them …
Leave Your Sleep by Natalie Merchant
This Album from Natalie Merchant had exceeded my expectations - which is not that tough, truth to be told; since Natalie Merchant had been very low-profile for a very long time, and I didn’t expect much from her.
Having said that, whenever a person said that something exceeded their …
All That You Cant Leave Behind 2000 Album by U2

Hank Jones: You Were Always On My Mind CD

“Scream” by Chris Cornell
This is another of Chris Cornell’s solo albums but very different from anything he has ever done before. He worked with Timbaland on this, so already you’ll know it doesn’t sound like Soundgarden, Audioslave or even his other previous solo work.
I’m a huge Chris Cornell fan, so I …

Megadeth - Train Of Consequences (Music Video)
Overview —“ Train Of Consequences, a single and music video released by Megadeth for their sixth record, Youthanasia, is honestly a track that I remember being better than how I hear the track now. I believed that Youthanasia is considered to Megadeth’s last good record, or at least last …
Regrets by Jay Z, song
Regrets by Jay-Z is the last song off of his debut album “Reasonable Doubt” released June 25, 1996. I personally find it to be a perfect song to conclude the album. The song Regrets samples “It’s So Easy Loving You” by Earl Klugh and Hubert Laws. This makes the …

On Saturday, 9/16/2007, I drove over to West Palm Beach, Florida to see Fall Out Boy in concert. I was chaperoning my daughter and her friends and though I like some of their songs, I’m certainly not a huge fan.
