Last resort by Papa Roach
Last Resort by Papa Roach is a song that is awesome in my book. The lyrics are perfect but they do talk about some very disgusting things if you think about it. I like the song though cause of the beat it has to it. I know that sounds …
Tina Turner (singer)

Iron Maiden - When Two Worlds Collide (Song)

“Hey Self Defeater” is the opening track on Mark Mulcahy’s debut and overlooked album “Fathering”. At first listen you may notice that “Hey Self Defeater” is a minimalistic and bare bone approach to a song. The whole basis of the song focuses on 2 instruments, a clean electric guitar …

AURORA - Runaway (Song )
Before any of you complains about her being unknown, let me tell you first, that AURORA is probably going to be the next “Lorde”. I am pretty sure 90% of the world’s population have heard Lorde’s humongous hit “Royals” at least once!
As a background, AURORA (real name Aurora Aksnes) …
The Flaming Lips - Moth In The Incubator (Song)

Nic Chagall Feat. Jonathan Mendelson - This Moment
On my wedding day I was really concerned about the type of music to play. I chose one particular song for my Audio Visual Presentation, and this song was entitled “This Moment” by Nic Chagall and Jonathan Mendelson.

Album : Survivor - Eye Of The Tiger (1982)
While everybody is aware of the title track from the album EYE OF THE TIGER, it truly surprises me how many people i speak to that had no idea that it was actually the title of the band’s 1982 long player. This strikes me as odd because the album …

Megadeth - Rattlehead (Song)
Rattlehead is a song by Megadeth which appears on their debut record, Killing Is My Business… And Business is Good. Rattlehead starts off in an extremely fast manner and this is definitely the definition of early thrash metal in my opinion. The guitar riff is extremely rapid and Mustaine …

Taylor Swift’s Love Story Single

Eminem - Cleaning Out My Closet - Single

Mer De Noms (A Perfect Circle Album)

Panopticon black-metal band - Roads to the North album
Panopticon is a one-man black-metal band from Louisville, Kentucky. The band is sole member Austin Lunn, who in my opinion is an amazing multi-instrumentalist.

Randy Travis: You and You Alone CD
Oddly, I’m more of a fan of Randy Travis now than I ever was in his heyday. In part, I think that’s because I know how country music left him and others like him behind. The new herd treated the old guard unkindly for a while, and …
Bob Dylan - Diamond Joe (Song)
