I don’t really like Jay Z as a rapper. I never liked his flow style or voice. But I do have to say I do like his diss songs and his hardcore lyrics. I don’t really like his commercial songs though. As a business man I have to respect him. …

Dear Doctor is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their album Beggars Banquet. The vocals start in right away along with an acoustic guitar part and a slight harmonica as well which gives it somewhat of a folk rock sound in my opinion. Jagger’s vocal melody …

Nearly every year these days the is some sort of self-proclaimed musical super-group that come out and expect to blow the world away. Most of the times these bands are over-rated but last year was definitely the year of Black Country communion. If ever a group was able to …

Lips of an Angel is one of my least favorite songs of all time. When the song was first released, everyone I knew was playing it constantly. Every time I called one of my friends, it was their ring back tone and most of the people I knew set …

This CD is the original Canadian cast recording of the stage play Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat with Donny Osmond in the lead. In many ways, this play was Donny’s vindication from being raked over the coals years before by critics. As Joseph, he excelled, received …
