Green Day - See The Light (Song)
See The Light is the final track on Green Day’s most recent studio release, 21st Century Breakdown. See The Light starts off with the same acoustic guitar pattern which 21st Century Breakdown, the track, started off with but the tempo is a bit faster I believe. Interesting how Song …

Head General Hospital - Hopesfall
The hardcore rock scene has seen a decline in its hardcore aspect over the last few years, sounding more like pop driven radio friendly alternative than anything else. While Hopesfall may be a decent band, “Head General Hospital” seems to try to hard to reclaim some of the edge …
Iron Maiden - Judgment Of Heaven (Song)
Judgment Of Heaven is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their album The X Factor. I will say right now that I do not like Blaze Bayley with Iron Maiden, I don’t think that he fit their style and I think Dickinson fits substantially better and that …
Evol, 1986 Album by Sonic Youth
I am sure that there would be people out there, who, when subjected to the music of this album by Sonic Youth, would find it almost ugly. But I personally find it very beautiful indeed. And I think that it is a matter of being able to see this …
One Armed Scissor - At The Drive-in
At The Drive-in was a moderately known progressive indie band for the majority of their existence. The fans of the genre knew who they were, but there were not too many people outside of this hardcore group of fans that knew too much about them maybe outside of their …

“One Cell in the Sea” Album by A Fine Frenzy
A Fine Frenzy is a female vocalist (her real name is Alison Sudol). She hasn’t been very popular on the radio or on MTV or anything, but I really do enjoy her music. I think I first found it because she was one of artists featured on one of …
Above and Beyond - We Are All We Need, Album
The Above and Beyond owned Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep Record Labels have consistently been my favourite publishers of sophisticated trance and progressive house for over ten years now.
How reassuring it is then, when their own output matches the quality of the artists they champion on their compilations.
We Are All …
“Comatose” Album by Skillet
Skillet’s seventh album “Comatose” brings out all the things I love about this band. Their deep and meaningful lyrics and incredible sound and music style that’s all their own. “Rebirthing” is the perfect mix of everything Skillet. The melodious string arrangement. The edgy rock sound …

The Jimi Hendrix Experience - You Got Me Floatin’
You Got Me Floatin’ is a track by The Jimi Hendrix Experience which appears on Axis: Bold As Love. The track starts off with some backwards guitar effects to give a psychedelic tone to the song, but overall I’d say that this is more of just a rock driven …

Fun, Fun, Fun (song) by The Beach Boys
“Fun, Fun, Fun” is one of the best known of The Beach Boys’ 1960s hit songs, and it has kept what I think is a deserved popularity right up to the present day. It is a short song, at only two and a third minutes in length, and it …
Bon Jovi - Crush

Women And Children First album by Van Halen

Mr. Holland’s Opus
Mr. Holland’s Opus is a really wonderful story that most everyone should be able to relate to in one way or another. Our life on this planet is so short in the scheme of things, and for many, they long to do something that says, ‘I was here’. …

Im With You, 2011 Album by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Before this album was released I simply couldn’t believe that the band are going to be able to create such great music as they did on this album. I thought that it was very unlikely that the guys are going to have as much inspiration as they used to …
Love is a Battlefield
While the artist might not have had many hits, this one certainly proves to be the most endearing of her discography. It’s a staple of any good 80s soundtrack and still has a punchy enough tune to get the toes tapping now.
For an eighties track, it’s all there. …
Already Gone by Sugarland
This is the deepest song Sugarland has ever come out with. And I say this because it reminds me of the relationship with me and mother and me trying to grow up too quickly. I live four hours away from my mother and it makes me wish that I …

Bossanova, 1990 Album by Pixies
This album is amazing. Even though the two previous Pixies records were really good, this one was even better in some crucial respects. I think that what this album turned out to be is simply unpredictable, if you look at what the previous records were. There must have been …
Rob Thomas, solo music recording artist
As the front man of the popular Florida band Tabitha’s Secret and later of the more globally known Matchbox 20, Thomas performed very well. However, I feel that his most profound songwriting and performing ventures have been as a solo recording artist.
‘Smooth’ is a song with a slightly Spanish …

Donna Summer (singer)
One singer whose songs I have always been familiar with, is the singer Donna Summer. This came about as a result of two main reasons. The first was that I have heard her songs playing on the radio over the years and liked them, and the second reason is …
Love in this Club song by Usher ft. Young Jeezy
Love in this Club is a slow and somehow really addictive song to listen to and also slow dance to. It is sung by Usher and it has a bit of a “bad boy” flare to it as well, which makes the chorus of the song even more appealing …

Good Charlotte CD - Good Morning Revival
“Good Morning Revival” is the 2007 album from pop-punk band Good Charlotte.It is very different to their previous 3 albums in that it introduces a new Dance sound into Good Charlotte’s normal snotty teen pop-punk sound.Fans of Good Charlotte’s earlier work (I would be one of them)may be disappointed …
The Flaming Lips - It Overtakes Me (Song)
