Fight Fire With Fire, the opening track to Metallica’s second album Ride The Lightning, is a song which I personally believe is one of Metallica’s fastest and most aggressive songs throughout any of their nine records. Although this song opens up with a very melodic …

I have a certain fondness for folky pop music, and an even greater fondness for female rock singers. Eisley is an amazing example of both these qualities, and “Invasion” is one of my favorite songs in their catalog. Making a song in the folk/pop genre as interesting as this …

Black Eyed Peas Where Is The Love is a beautiful song I like listening to because it talks about how the world is today. No lies so far I have found in this song. It talks about how we need to do as we say and proclaim and not …

“Mule Variations,” though maybe not his most appreciated album, is probably in my top five by Tom Waits. It’s gritty, folk-based, but not really limited to genre. While not every track did it for me, the ones that did nailed it. And of course, with any album by Waits, …

I was scared off by Slipknot for a long time, I think because they’re one of those bands that wear masks. Even though I like hard rock, for some reason, masks will make me not want to listen to a band every time. But I’m glad I …
