Before I receive any distraught comments or letters informing me of my list's inadequacy, I would like to clarify that the list below was formed according to what I approximated to be a range of just a FEW of the greatest and most classic guitar solos of all time, and is by no means definitive. In this list I...
SPOILER ALERT: No Fixed Address by Nickelback is awful. For all of the die-hard Nickelback fans out there, this new album is comprised of 11 songs that sound identical. This album sinks so low that it features an equally irrelevant artist, Flo Rida, for one song "Got Me Runnin' Round." Nickelback's feeble attempt to remain relevant, hilarious as it...
2013, a monumental year indeed. We witnessed the downfall of Blockbuster, the evolution of Miley Cyrus, the craziness of the Harlem Shake, the selection of a new Pope, the Obamacare fiasco, the birth of Prince George of Cambridge, the iPhone 5S/5C release, and the massive typhoon in the Philippines. Aside from these monumental events, 2013 was also a BIG year...
Henry Steinway is an LA based producer known under the pseudonyms Clockwork, his electro house project, and RL Grime, a persona more focused on hip hop and trap music as shown in his album VOID, the first full length album under either alias.  RL Grime first started to gain popularity with his remix of "Mercy" by Kanye West and singles...

Many critics compare him to great musicians like Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Neil Young, the "long lost Gallagher"...
AC/DC Rock Or Bust Album Review Albert/Columbia Records Released December 2, 2014 Genre: Hard Rock AC/DC is one of the most instantly recognizable bands out there today. The amount of music and influence they've produced to the world has been almost omnipresent. Known for their instantly catchy songs, lightning fast riffs, and their numerous  "amp to 11" hits," it'd be almost impossible to be...
  Described by Teezo as “Rock and Boom is more focused: it's R&B with the intensity of rock, with the R&B top lines, boom bap penmanship, and that 808 bass with the flavor of Beaumont.” Released on September 8, this breakout star gained traction through features on albums such as Call Me if You Get Lost,Utopia, and Love Sick. With all...
