Fade To Black, the ballad of Ride The Lightning, is certainly the song where I believe Metallica truly proved that they were much more than a thrash band from the 1980s who were completely driven by energy. I feel like the progression and development …

I will be the first to admit, the first 1,000 and more times that I had the music of Lenka shoved down my throat, I couldn’t stand it. I was darn near physically ill. I simply could not stand her cutesy, almost innocent lyrics were just too much.
And then …

Mariah Carey really has a very sweet voice. I love her voice so much; she sings love songs very well and has wonderful voice interpretation of R&B songs too. She is the very first girl we have known to have collaboration with “hip hop” singers, and this is the …

Airbourne storm onto the scene with the thundering, rocking, beer-drinking, womanizing “Runnin’ Wild”.
Whilst Airbourne had one album out previous to this, it was very limited, did not sell well and is somewhat of a collector’s item now. Thus most magazines and listeners alike have credited this as Airbourn’es first …
