Kenny Rogers is one of those country artists who have been around for a long time and that still continue to be a favorite today. I grew up on Kenny Rogers to be honest. My mother and aunts loved his voice when he sang so it was not unheard …

Besides the two musical epics on American Idiot, Jesus Of Suburbia and Homecoming, I think that I would have to say that Letterbomb is my favorite, for lack of a better word, —˜normal’ song. I believe there’s just something about Armstrong’s vocals on this track which is brilliant and …

The Gnome, a song by Pink Floyd which appears on their first record, The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, is another song on that album which I would basically describe as just being a very upbeat sounding song in tone and basically filled with lyrics full of nonsense, …

For those of you who heard Metallica play —˜The New Song’ during I believe Summer 2007 then you’ll recognize that the opening riff to The End Of The Line is a riff from one of those songs, just felt that I’d point that out. I’m aware that Metallica said …

All The Time is a song by Green Day which appears on their album Nimrod. The track starts off with a staccato sounding guitar riff before the bass and the drums quickly come in. The track has that very characteristic pop-punk three-chord sound which has come to be associated …

My first real introduction to the electronic rock band Orgy was when I was around fourteen years old. While that was a couple years after their first studio album Candyass was released in 1998, they were still fairly popular amongst a lot of teens especially since their vocalist …

I love the movie, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, so naturally I adore the soundtrack from this musical as well. I remember seeing this in the theaters when it came out, and I went on multiple occasions. Dick Van Dyke stars, and he shows such zest, and tenderness, …

Hold It Don’t Drop It by Jennifer Lopez works for me. I have always known the fact that J.Lo couldn’t really sing that well, but she is a person that tries her best and she has this style of choosing songs that could suit her vocal range. She …

This album occupies a very special part in my heart. I do not know exactly why, but I remember the day, the night, when I bought this album so vividly, with such clarity and detail. It was a winter night. It was snowing. It was rather late and dark. …

Lost For Words is a song by Pink Floyd which appears on their album The Division Bell. The song opens up very slowly with some background noise before a drum beat comes in and then a rhythm played on a synthesizer. To be honest, the sound that’s building up …

All Within My Hands is a song by Metallica which appears on their record St. Anger. The song opens up with a fast tempo and the unfortunate drum tone that Lars Ulrich had throughout this entire album. Nevertheless, Hetfield’s riff can slightly make up for it, despite its …

It idealizes how a great marriage should be if it is going to last through the sea of times. It talks about people and things and the way they …

I like how soft the guitar strum is …

Overview —“ Whiplash, the sixth track on Kill —˜Em All, is a track which feels and sounds quite similar to Hit The Lights, in my opinion, so if you enjoyed Hit The Lights, then you’ll probably enjoy Whiplash as well. In fact, to be honest, there’s actually quite a …

I so love this song very much with my entire life. The first time I heard this one was 2007. I admit I am not a Miley Cyrus fan but I watched her television series before but not daily. That was in Disney Channel. This is the theme song …

I haven’t liked much by Chuck Wicks, but this is one of my favorite songs. Songs about fathers always get to me since I lost mine when I was a young teenager. I will never get the chance to experience moments like these with my father, so this song …

I recently recieved one of these guitars for my birthday. Now keep in mind that I have absolutely no musical talent, and I’ve heard that these guitars are perfect for begginers. I am pretty happy with it, I must admit.
The guitar has a bit of a hollow sound but …

I actually like this album a lot. As far as Slipknot is concerned, I wasn’t that very impressed by the album that was called Volume 3 The Subliminal Verses. I thought that that music was not very effective on that album. On All Hope Is Gone Slipknot are complete …

Taylor Swift’s popularity just keeps growing.

There is an open, unedited …

That’s Life, another fine, fine effort from the one and only Frank Sinatra. It’s quite a laid back track, but again the meaning behind the lyrics is very good.

After watching the show “VH1’s 100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs” on New Year’s Eve last year and seeing Guns N’ Roses make the number one spot; I decided to check out some of Guns N’ Roses’ albums for myself. However, since I couldn’t actually find the album at the …

“The Body Rock” appears off of Busta Rhymes album When Disaster Strikes. It is the 17th track off of the absolute stellar album, often criticized as being his best. This is kind of crazy considering that there are 19 tracks all together. It’s nearly impossible to release such a …

Sound Peace - David & Steve Gordon is a fairly enjoyable audio CD that offers a combination of flutes, guitar chords, harps, wind chimes, piano melodies and more. All of the instrumental music that appears on this CD is gentle and soft, and is arranged in a way that …
