How many licks does it take to get to the center of a lollipop?
Remember the good old days of rap? Back when it was either fun to listen too (like Slick Rick) or important to listen too (like Public Enemy)? Well those days aren’t over! For every Lil Wayne (can anybody really understand a word [...]

Could YOU say no to this face?
With music changing so much in the last 20 years, rock n roll has pretty much taken a back seat to alternative bands and rappers and overproduced pop artists. That being said, I want to let you know that if you ever want to let your hair hang down [...]

Of course this is all personal opinion, but I think the album art should go with the body of songs…wouldn’t you agree? And seeing The Police recently and the way they used their album art during their performance only made it more obvious that the cover of your album/CD is as much a part of [...]

If you were to ever meet me face-to-face, I would never admit to liking these songs…but I do. Sure, it’s embarrassing…but what is life without a little humiliation?
10. Anne Murray - Shadows In The Moonlight
Oh Anne…how sweet her sound…
9. Breathe - Hands To Heavan
Happened to be a single during a good period in my life.
8. Neil [...]

Maybe I’m in the minority here, but I’m wondering why all the fuss over a one-hit wonder who is the biggest crackhead since Courtney Love? At least Courtney is from America. This chick has one song to her name and the whole world is a-flutter with her drugginess.
Last weekend she performed at Nelson Mandella’s 90th [...]

To the editors of EW…This little kitty is MUCH bigger now!
Okay…this one is a tough sell because I am totally biased in my opinion that the 90’s were a total waste of time when it came to music. Seriously, the 90’s totally KILLED the album as a concept and melted the music industry down [...]

To celebrate the new Coldplay album, “Viva La Vida” (In Stores Now!), I’m listing my Top 8 favorite Coldplay tunes! Quick note about the new album…it’s good. Really good! Especially if you like Coldplay. But the kicker is, it’s produced by Brian Eno. So if you like U2, Roxy Music, David Bowie, James or The [...]
