Bailey Bryan Doesn't "Own It"
"Own It," debut by 18-year old Washingtonian, Bailey Bryan is another blatant attempt to promote and appeal bad pop music as country to oblivious suburban teenagers throwing a tantrum. And no it's not a cover of Drake's 2013 song with the same title. Even though the song - according to press releases - is supposed to have a positive message, it does not. It advocates to not listen to everybody else (even parents?) and transmits the typical feeling of youth today, that everybody owes them, that they are entitled and that life is gonna be a breeze. Well, hello real world!

10 Best Goth Rock Songs
The list below contains the Top 10 Best Goth Rock Songs. This list is based on research and on my own personal opinions. This is the fourth single released off the “Disintegration” album. It was voted #283 on Rolling Stone’s “The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time”. The single features a picture of Robert Smith’s Wife Mary on it. This song is haunting. “I have been looking so long at these pictures of you. I almost believed they were real. I have been looking so long at these pictures of you. The pictures are all I can feel.”

Pan!c at the Disco Concert Gives Cleveland a Rainbow
The other night I attended the Pan!c at the Disco with Saint Motel and Misterwives concert here in Cleveland, my first concert I have attended in awhile ( Gasp I know it's a tragedy!) but it was well worth the wait. When it comes to live music there is nothing better, or more nerve touching. I have done a lot of weird things in my life, but concerts have always been the one thing that makes me feel alive. So let's get down to business!

The Beach Boys' Smiley Smile
“Smiley Smile” is The Beach Boys album that nobody wanted, particularly not The Beach Boys' fans and critics. In 1967, when it came out, everybody was expecting and eagerly waiting for The Beach Boys and their mastermind Brian Wilson to come up with “Smile,” one of the greatest rock albums never to be. After all, “Good Vibrations” and its flipside “Heroes and Villains” that came out ahead of supposed issue of “Smile” were to be included in some version or other on that album. And that was definitely one of the best rock singles ever. If not the best.

10 Best Synthpop Songs
The list below contains the Top 10 Best Synthpop Songs. This list is based on research and on my own personal opinions. This song was written by Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe and was released twice as a single. The song was inspired by T.S. Eliot’s poem “The Waste Land” which is about the struggles of inner-city living. This song reached number one in the UK in 1985, and number one in the US in 1986. This song also won best single at the Brit Awards in 1987.

A Great Introduction to Sixties Garage Rock n' Roll
One of the best introductions to Sixties Garage Rock n Roll is ‘The Nuggets, Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era 1965-1968’ compilation. The memory of first laying eyes on this comp still saturates my mind with mist, as if walking once again through the epic and overwhelming jungle of Los Angeles Tower Records.

If Your Memory Serves You Well
While many are familiar with The Band and some of their hit songs, few know the story of their rise to prominence. While The Band is known for backing Bob Dylan on some of his earliest electric tours and some of his greatest records, they had been along well before this occurrence.
