Since listening to Boston’s “More Than A Feeling”, I have been on the prowl to find more of their music and I came across (what appears to be a power ballad) “Amanda”. The song “Amanda” is the first song off of their third album, “Third Stage”.

This record is truly fantastic, and it is very diverse as well. There are several types of songs on this album, all of which sound appealing. This album has something to offer for all music lovers. I think that thematically this album can be divided into two parts, with …

This “unassuming” (for lack of a better word) guy has one of the richest, raspiest voices I’ve heard from a male singer–especially someone local. Apparently he’s been on the music scene for many years, and I think actually signed a deal with LaVista Records once upon a …

Whoever had the idea for the Take Thats music video for Flood, stumbled on a great concept for me. Some people might look at this and wonder why on earth someone has put Take That in a rowing boat but that’s because they have not actually taken any note …

Overview —“ Slappy, Green Day’s second EP, is an EP that sounds a lot closer, and I mean a lot closer, to the sound that Green Day eventually became known for compared to their previous EP, 1,000 Hours. Whereas 1,000 Hours was honestly just filled with songs with …

I can honestly say I’m not a Taylor Swift fan, and that’s not because I don’t like her it’s just I don’t really fall into her target audience. I prefer to listen to music that caters to my age group and a bit more maturity.
It wasn’t until I was …

I must precede this by noting that I have loved every Metallica album all the way up to Reload. I am not one of the people who thinks Metallica lost their magic after the black album. While a departure from their original style, “Load” and “Reload” were …

Talking about Britney Spears, well she has a pretty face but I don’t like her voice. She may be famous because she is good at dancing but I would rather listen to Mandy Moore who is also a contempory young singer. Mandy can also do …
