I am not a fan of soul music, but the reason I know of the music group “The Stylistics” is because they are one of my father’s favourite music groups and he would play their music over the years.
A couple years ago, one of my father’s good friends gave …

“Nobody’s Fool”
Performer: Cinderella
“Nobody’s Fool” performed by the rock group Cinderella is a song I used to hear on those late infomercials for this particular set of cds (I can’t remember for, something about rock ballads) and I would hear various 80s rock groups and Cinderella was one of the …

My opinion of this band has changed dramatically over time. When I was about 14, I loved this band. I got their album “The Young and the Hopeless” for my 14th birthday and fell in love with it. Then I got their first album and loved that one too. …

Overview - Led Zeppelin II, the band’s second effort, expands on the brilliant songwriting they showcased on parts of their debut album as they abandon the majority of more straightforward and typical rock songs. In my opinion, this album really only contained one straightforward song while the rest of …

The new 50 cent album named Curtis is his third solo album. With high expectations that this album had before it came out, iwas woundering if it would live up to the hype. 50 cent is known as one the best selling hip hop artist in the world selling …

Andy Griggs is one of those country music artists that only have a good song every so often. But he really landed a good one with this one. It’s funny though because the girl he describes in this song kind of descibes me. Anyway, in the song he describes …

I have heard this song a million times and have never once gotten sick of hearing it. It’s one of my favorite songs right now. It’s great to dance to or to sing to. I think one of the main reasons I like it so much is because it …

It might be surprising to say this, but this album would have gotten a higher grade if it was a debut album by a band. But, in comparison to all the previous records that this band has put out, this one looks indeed like a kind of disappointment.
Modest Mouse …

Blowin’ In The Wind, one of Bob Dylan’s most famous and ionic songs throughout his extremely lengthy career proves to certainly meet it’s reputation as the track itself is just great. As with most early Bob Dylan, or rather most Bob Dylan for that matter, the track isn’t driven …

KISS
A rock and roll classic! One of the best LP’s of the 1970’s.
This was the bands first album and it debuted in 1973 and no one bought it (it ended up going platinum after the band became a worldwide sensation) An underrated masterpiece.
1973 was too early for the world …

It is hard to believe that this album was recorded back in 2000. It feels like I bought it only recently, even though, chronologically, it must have been sometime in 2002. Well, I remember how I was making a superficial assessment of this album at the time. At first …

Some people say that Standing on the Shoulder of Giants is the first bad album by Oasis, while others say that it is their second bad album. But I disagree with both such statements. I disagree with the description of this album as a bad one. I think that …

This album is the closest thing to musical perfection in rock and metal that I’ve heard in a long time. Personally, I think that this is a musical masterpiece from Mushroomhead. The first track, “Kill Tomorrow”, begins slow and steady with Jeffrey Nothing’s vocal starting as well. Then the …

Coldplay is a British band specializing in the Alternative rock genre.
One of my favourite songs from them is named “What If” from their X & Y album release.
I like how this song begins with a piano playing and the singer, Chris Martin, immediately begins to sing after the first …

I am very happy that I had a chance to come across this fantastic record in my life. I feel that if I had never heard this record my life would have been less complete. This album is really good. The songs on this album are really special.
I came …

I Just bought MGMT’s new album, on the strength of their single ‘Electric Feel’, which I like very much. Having listened to the first track, I want to like it and do like the sound; I just find the lyrics a bit hard to swallow. I am not sure if …

Overview —“ South Of Heaven, the fourth album released by Slayer, definitely slowed things down after the extremely thrash driven Reign In Blood. I know that when people tend to think of slayer they think of extremely heavy metal, but more importantly, they think of extremely fast metal. When …

Female country music singer, Martina McBride is one of my favorite singers. She has a habit of singing songs that are about strong women rather than the whiny songs that most country singers have a tendency to sing. Her music makes women feel as though they have the power …

I was never really a big fan of Mariah Carey’s but after hearing her new songs on the radio and then obtaining her cd I can defintely say she’s one of hip-hop’s M.V.P. Her cd the Emancipation of Mimi was excellent. She really put her haert in this one. …

Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door is a song by Bob Dylan written for the soundtrack to Pat Garrett And Billy The Kid, notably to be covered by Guns N Roses later on. I’ll admit that the first version of this song which I heard was the Guns N Roses version, …

The self-titled debut album, Harry and the Potters, sounds as if it was recorded by a couple of high school guys with guitars sitting around in their living room–which, of course, it actually was. Ironically, that’s what makes this CD so great, particularly for fans of Harry Potter.
Harry and …
