According to You by Singing Group Orianthi
This song says it all when it comes to how guys act when they decide they want an excuse to do something they shouldn’t be doing. They will find ways to treat their woman like junk and tell her she isn’t good at anything. This woman isn’t going to …
Elliot Yamin
I thought Elliot Yamin got robbed in the American Idol when he was booted out at the top five of the competitions. Now after releasing his debut album, which has sold over seven million copies in America and more worldwide. I think the real America has spoken.

For a young artist, miley cyrus is pretty talented, she can act and sing. First time I thought that she can’t sing, but after her song, I think its good enough though I don’t like her behaviour, her song is goog enough to listen. Like this one, seven things.
This song …

Bad Moon Rising, 1985 Album by Sonic Youth
This album is a very interesting record. I would not even say that it is a good or strong record as such, but it is surely pretty interesting to listen to. This record, which appears very early in their career, shows how heavy and experimental this band is. Even …
Martin Garrix (Musician)
I really wouldn’t consider myself a huge fan of the musician Martin Garrix. To be honest, up until fairly recently I only knew two songs by him and liked one of the two. However, after all these years I still sincerely hope that he has as much potential as I …

Taylor Swift - Wildest Dreams (Song )
I admit that even though I have been reviewing mostly indie and alternative music in this site, I’m still a huge fan of Pop music especially after country superstar Taylor Swift converted into the genre.
Obviously, we all know that Taylor Swift was not a pop star for at least …

Pearl Jam band
I recently rediscovered the grunge and hard rock band called “Pearl Jam”. They were one of my favourite bands in the early 2000s when I first started discovering my love for hard rock music and bands such as Creed, and Lifehouse. These days, I’ve begun to do some re-exploring …
Neutral Milk Hotel - Aunt Eggma Blowtorch (Song)

Tegan And Sara - The Con
These canadian twins are out with their fifth album in 10 years. It seems like they’ve grown back into the source of their rockish first 3 albums as their last “So Jealous” was more pop oriented. Now, you have to make the separation between the two girls when you …
Green Day - Christian’s Inferno (Song)
Christian’s Inferno is a song by Green Day which appears on their album 21st Century Breakdown. Christian’s Inferno certainly has a unique sound to it and it’s significantly different than the other track thus far on the record. For one thing, Christian’s Inferno starts off with this very dark …

Overview —“ Peace Sells—¦ But Whose Buying, Megadeth’s second album, expands on Dave Mustaine’s songwriting and pushes it even further than what he showed on the debut album.

The Flaming Lips - Maximum Dream For Evil Knievel (Song)

Ain’t it Just Like You by Toby Keith

Animal Collective - Peacebone (Song)

Metallica - Holier Than Thou (Song)
Holier Than Thou, the third song off The Black Album, is certainly much more aggressive than the previous two tracks of Sad But True and Enter Sandman. Although the aggression and speed of Holier Than Thou doesn’t match the first four records, it’s probably one of the more aggressive …
Titanic: A New Musical - Original Broadway Cast Recording CD
I saw a performance from Titanic: A New Musical on TV and was hooked. It might have been on Rosie O’Donnell’s old talk show, but whatever it was, I thought the performance was solid. Plus, as a student of the Titantic, I had to get this CD …
