Radiohead - Karma Police (Song)
Karma Police is a song by Radiohead which appears on their album OK Computer. I believe Karma Police is one of the better known Radiohead songs, and I must say that I believe there is good reason for this. The song opens up with in a fairly moderate tempo …
Hosanna by Brooke Fraser

Nine Inch Nails - Hurt (Song)

Opeth Still Life CD
With “Still Life”, Opeth expanded on their musical musings by infusing a much more Progressive sound with Death Metal, Folk and minor Jazz infusions, throwing them in a blender and funneling the resulting substance through masterful musicianship and impeccable song writing. The end result is “Still Life”, Opeth’s fourth …
Jagged Little Pill
Alanis Morissette’s album, Jagged Little Pill, has quite the catchy little title. I like that! In fact, that was the first thing that I really liked about this CD. The second thing that I really liked was the presentation of the sound on the tracks. Alanis Morissette has a …
The Beat of My Heart by Hilary Duff
This song makes no sense, but then again, it’s being sung by a teenager who knows nothing really about love. Not only that, this song really annoying due to that fact that it’s hard on the ears. The majority of this song is repeating itself over and over again …
The Cranberries - Everybody Else is Doing it so Why Can’t We? (1993)
This very first Cranberries album was somehow, never my favourite. Maybe the raw simplicity, or maybe the short songs, I couldn’t appreciate its beauty. Of course, only until, you actually experience all those things Dolores O’riordan writes and sings about, only then, can you grasp the essence of this …
Single Song: Single Ladies (Put a Ring on it)
Beyonce hit the nail on the head for millions of women when she recorded this song. Single Ladies (Put a Ring on it), has a great dance beat and more women than men probably like the song. I absolutely love this song from start to finish. Beyonce has a …

Reba McEntire: So Good Together CD

Taylor Swift’s Love Story Single
I love Taylor Swift’s Love Story single. Yet again, the artist has come up with an original composition. Well, nothing is original in this world anymore. In fact, the singer based her song on a classic love story of Romeo and Juliet. She has no …

Sepultura - Slaves of Pain (song)

Antics, 2004 Album by Interpol
This is a great record. Interpol is a very talented band, and I personally believe that this is their best record. The debut album sounded rather messy, whereas the albums that were released after this one have rather lazy song-writing. Whereas the 2004 Antics is a fantastic record with …

Artist: Beyonce ft. Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, and Solange Knowles
Video: “Get Me Bodied”
Album: B-Day
Label: Columbia

Metallica - The Judas Kiss (Song)
The Judas Kiss, a second track on Death Magnetic which seems to be a fan favorite (along with All Nightmare Long) is yet another choice which I can easily understand. For the fans who remember the original Mission Metallica trailer, they’ll remember that the trailer contained a vocal section …
