2 Pac is probably the best and most famous rapper who ever lived. He is a rap legend who can never be matched by any living rapper. I really admired him because he had deep lyrics that people could relate to. He always has a great sense of passion in …
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin II
Overview - Led Zeppelin II, the band’s second effort, expands on the brilliant songwriting they showcased on parts of their debut album as they abandon the majority of more straightforward and typical rock songs. In my opinion, this album really only contained one straightforward song while the rest of …
Carnival Ride CD

What A Wonderful World (song) from Louis Armstrong
Whenever I have problems I cannot stop thinking about this song. This does not make me laugh, but the meaning is deep. I just heard it in the radio and I heard it again when I watched the movie Good Morning Vietnam. I just want to share a very …
13, 1999 Blur album

Fender Frontman 10G: 10w Guitar Amplifier
I got the Fender Frontman 10G with a “starter pack” from Guitar Center, which also included a Stratocaster and etc accessories. As suggested, I was pretty new to the guitar and didn’t really need anything massive to practice with. I found no problem entirely using the small 10w amp …

Amy Winehouse-Back To Black
This artist clearly needs no introduction; I don’t think that there is anyone on this planet who hasn’t heard of Amy Winehouse by now! She’s constantly in the press, usually for all the wrong reasons but, that said, she is one talented singer. This album has got to be her …

Whoa (2006): Lil’ Kim
Lil’ Kim
“Whoa”
The Naked Truth
Queen Bee Entertainment/Atlantic Records

Suck It and See, 2011 Album by Arctic Monkeys

Pancho and Lefty by Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson
