Kerplunk Green Day CD
I bought Kerplunk a few years ago, wanting to explore more of Green Day’s earlier music. And I’m very glad I did. Years later, I still listen to the CD and enjoy the wonderful music on it.
Released in 1992, I believe that Kerplunk has a different vibe to many …

Syd Barrett - Effervescing Elephant (Song)
Effervescing Elephant is a song by Syd Barrett which appears on his second solo record, Barrett. The track starts off with just about twenty seconds of just faint background noise with not much going on. The thing I want to stress about Effervescing Elephant is that it’s a very …
Icona Pop (music group)
The first time that I remember hearing any song at all from the music group Icona Pop, was back when those commercials for the company “Shoe Dazzle” were just getting popular. I literally paused what I was doing just to see the shoes, and then found myself Googling the …

Sia - The Greatest ft. Kendrick Lamar (2016 Song)

The band Cannibal Corpse

Song : Soul On The Line by Connor Garvey

Mariah Carey CD
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. …

MGMT - The Youth (Song)
The Youth is the third track on MGMT’s second album, Oracular Spectacular.

Muse - Time Is Running Out (Song)

Green Day - Nimrod
Overview —“ Nimrod, Green Day’s fifth album is an album which I personally feel takes them backwards rather than forwards. I’ll say that I thought both Dookie and Insomniac were very good albums with very little filler on them, this album is a bit different. To be fair, there’s …

Diorama is Silverchair’s fourth album and when released also the most calm album.

A Night At The Spleen - Closure in Moscow
As a longtime fan of progressive/experimental music, I often gravitate towards sound patterns that seem to buck the norm, and stand out as truly not heard in mainstream music. Closure in Moscow usually does a pretty decent job of creating songs that sound as though they were never meant …
