U2 The Best …

Of all the bands to come out of the garage-rock revival of the early 2000s, The Strokes were probably the best — at least in their initial effort. Regarded as the then-newest saviors of rock and roll, The Strokes fashioned distinctly post-modern rock and roll. The dueling guitars, a …

The New York Dolls have always been seen as a band with their own agenda and have never been known to bow down to expectations and trends. For a long time they were considered disbanded and i never thought i would bear witness to an all-new album from them. …

Going To California is a song by Led Zeppelin which appears on their fourth record, Led Zeppelin IV. Opening up with an intricate guitar pattern, Robert Plant comes in with a gentle and melodic vocal delivery which fits perfectly with the music behind him. Thus far, the instrumentation is …

When I heard californication the album I thought it was the best that the Red hot chili peppers could do. I thought it was amazing, the songs were fantastic, beautifully played, with deep lyrics and some real insight into the band. And then By the way was released and …

A couple of years ago Coldplay was possibly one of the most popular alternative rock bands around the world, but even then I didn’t really like them because I was into much more hardcore music at the time. It took me a couple more years and the decline in …

I’ve liked Snow Patrol since I first saw them at Isle of Wight festival years ago. And I really like this album … infact, I personally prefer it to their deubut ‘Final Straw’ which was hugely popular at the time, and still contains their best known and best loved …

The first thing I love about Barry Manilow: Manilow Sings Sinatra CD is that the liner is all black and white, inside and out. Somehow, that fits. There are some nice photos of the recording session included as they explain why they took on this project. …

New York-based alternative rock newcomer, X Ambassadors might just get away with their new hit, “Renegades”. Already Top 20 in Alternative radios and Top 40 in iTunes, quite a rare feat considering Alternative Rock songs barely smash. But here they are, with a song worthy to take over the …

Strawberry Wine is a song by Deanna Carter. It is about a young girl who falls in love and has her first ever relationship with a man who is working on her grandpa’s strawberry farm for the summer to earn money for college. It talks about how many relationships …

Falling Away With You is a song by Muse which appears on their record Absolution. The song opens up with an extremely melodic synthesizer rhythm which an acoustic guitar lead soon comes in over. Bellamy’s vocal melody pretty much mimics this acoustic guitar part but it works well nonetheless …

At first i knew them by a video on youtube that lots of poeple might know it, since it had A LOT of views, it currently have more than 60 million views and …

Rock And Roll is a song by The Velvet Underground which appears on their album Loaded. Opening up with a fairly quick but empty sounding introduction, the intro makes good use of some nice bass fills, but unfortunately really lacks in a guitar riff to hold my attention. Nevertheless, …

Steal this Album! Is unfortunately my least favorite of the System of a Down albums, but that doesn’t make it a bad album; it’s still a fairly good album, because even when System of a Down is at their worst, they’re still fairly good.
The first is Chic’n Stu which …

The way I am by Eminem is an awesome song that is a confusing rap to me. This song has a lot of cuss words in it but I still love this song because it talks about how a person to this guy is anything and everything that other …

I love the new song Womanizer by Britney Spears very much. My friends were saying that the song is lame and all that, but I think not. This is the latest of Britney Spears that one could really get a-hold of. Do watch the music video clip. …

The Clash’s 1980 album Sandinista! in my opinion topped London Calling by far, at the time of release it was a triple album, 36 tracks this was unheard of at the time of release, the band took a loss of royalties (the didn’t get paid for the first 300,000) …

It’s always great seeing a …

The River by Good Charlotte is a song about how beautiful can not stay beautiful. this song is about how this person got baptized in the river and now they believe. This song to me mainly talks about sins and how the kids should find their way back home …

The Great Destroyer is a song by Nine Inch Nails which appears on their album Year Zero. The song starts out with a synthesizer and an electric drumkid which gives the song a pretty artificial sound to be hoenst, and not exactly in a good way. Reznor comes in …

Don’t Leave Me Now is a song by Pink Floyd which appears on their concept record, The Wall. I don’t really want to go into much explanation about the story which goes on with this song since it’s useless to explain without the entire context of The Wall. The …

A Great instrumental song by the german hard rock band The Scorpions is the track Coast To Coast off of the album Lovedrive. I really like this instrumental, I even got to see it live and it is the one track where a third guitar is played by the …

Anyone compiling a collection of the ultimate collection of rock albums has to include this 1977 disc. I can still remember hearing this for the first time and being amazed that bands played like that. The foul language was shocking, especially the rant at the end of …

I am a huge fan of and specialist in KMFDM music. I have been listening to them for a very long time. I find their music very original, very special and characteristic to them. They created their own style, and they follow by it. But, on this album, this …

The album “Like Swimming” By Morphine is not what I expected from such an odd sounding band. When I really listen to this song, it is amazing. The voice that I hear makes me want to relax, sit back, and enjoy the music. Of course, I would not recommend …

I have a rather mixed feeling for Jessica Simpson’s vocal voice and her music. Some of her songs are super cool and some are not. In this case, I find I Belong To Me by Jessica Simpson a totally wonderful song and it is powerful enough to conjure …

Overview —“ Back In Black, the first album released by AC/DC after the death of their original singer Bon Scott is a tribute to him and a dedication as well. Although Back In Black is hailed as one of classic rock’s best album, with good reason in my opinion, …

Sad But True, the second song off of Metallica’s self-title album, certainly slows down the tempo and focuses on a heavy feel rather than a fast approach to the song. If you can think of a song like The Thing That Should Not Be, although slightly more commercial, I’d …

Before Franz Ferdinand’s debut self-titled album released in 2004, Scotland has only Rod Stewart, Shirley Manson and Annie Lennox, who each of them has something different than just singing. Image which was built by Alex Kapranos, Bob Hardy, Nick McCarthy and Paul Thomson, was like white boy disco, a …

I’ve noticed a pattern with the Donny Osmond: Christmas at Home CD as far as the liner jacket is concerned. The lyrics are there, but they are so hard to read. It’s all jumbled together into crowded paragraphs. I’ve seen it before on other liner jackets …

Cowboys From Hell is the bands Fifth album and second to feature vocalist Phil Anselmo. The album was released in 1990 on Atco Records and produced by Terry Date. Fans consider this the bands first real studio album as previous albums had been glam metal. Cowboys From Hell is …

It is no secret that I like melody in music, and even more so with guitars specifically. There is something about a melodious guitar line that really pulls me in, and keeps me listening. Unfortunately, it seems like melody itself is a notion that does not have a prominent …

After listening to Boulevard Of Broken Dreams and Are We The Waiting, I just have to say that St. Jimmy could not have come at a better time on the track listing. Whereas the previous two aforementioned songs are honestly just boring pieces of music which are predictable and …

Use Your Illusion II is the second half of a double album released in 1991 by Guns N’ Roses. The album cover is identical except for the color layout. The album features an alternate version with alternate lyrics of Don’t Cry, the original is on the first. There is …

Wall to wall by Chris Brown has a wicked music video which I love. It is so fantastic because he talks in the song how he gots girls wall to wall at this club and in real life since he is a hot pop star he of …

My thoughts on Justin Bieber?
He has some of the worlds biggest haters but also some of the craziest fans. I believe he deserves the attention he gets, he can actually play instruments while singing and doesn’t fail miserably. I was interested in his fame when I heard he was …

When Taylor Swift’s newest single, “Love Story,” hit the radio waves in 2008, I was in Georgia, driving around lost. An impromptu road trip with a friend from the battle scars of a recent heartbreak. Being an English major in college and being naturally critical of Shakespeare’s …

I am sure that some people might not understand the beauty of the music on this album but I personally do find beauty in this music and below I will try to explain why the nine songs that were released by Sonic Youth in 1983 are attractive to me …

New Faces is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their record Voodoo Lounge. New Faces starts off with a harpsichord part, something I wasn’t expecting at all, which gives the song sort of a royal or majestic feeling. Jagger comes in with the vocals of the …

Journey is another of my all time favorite bands. The greatest hits, has all the best songs on it. I listen to this CD at least twice a week now. Back in the day I used to listen to it everyday.
I just love Steve Perry, he’s the lead vocal …

Overview —“ Mama Said, a third music video released for Metallica’s album Load, is the music video for a song which honestly doesn’t strike me, and I’m sure most people, as a Metallica song. I mean even just thinking about the title and the artist, having the word Metallica …

Disintegration/Free Money is a song by Slayer which appears on their record Undisputed Attitude. Like the rest of this record, this song is a cover of a punk band known as Verbal Abuse. To be fair, I didn’t really like this record very much and didn’t think Slayer did …

I must precede this by noting that I have loved every Metallica album all the way up to Reload. I am not one of the people who thinks Metallica lost their magic after the black album. While a departure from their original style, “Load” and “Reload” were …

Television’s Greatest Hits - Volume 5: The 60’s and 70’s is a collection of 65 TV themes on CD. Talk about fun. This CD transports the listening back in time to visit with old friends in all genres of television. A minute ago I listened to …

Digging Up Bones is one of the songs that Randy Travis does that really hits home with me. You see, to me the song is about a love that has ended but that I was not ready to end. When I was sixteen I met a man that was …

Blackbird is a song by The Beatles which appears on their self-titled record, otherwise known as The White Album. Although I say that this is a song by The Beatles it’s really a Paul McCartney song as he’s the main writer, if not the only writer, and he is …
