Fearless By Taylor Swift: The Unbiased Album Review
Taylor Swift is a new entry into the music business. Her debut album fearless was released in 2006. During that time Nashville was over powered by male country singers who were in their 40s and even in their 30s. But this 18 year old had managed to emerge as one of the leading ladies among a very chauvinistic business. Now fi you are looking at teenage girly songs then Fearless is the album for you.
Now if you listen to the album and you want songs which have loud guitars and a lot of chorus’s which rouse up then “The way I loved you” and “Fearless” are exactly the ones which you need. Now although the album is said to be country, it isn’t exactly all that. The country part of the album comes from Swift’s little country accent and the rare mentions of things like “one horse town” and even little sounds of the banjo and the fiddle which are found in some songs.

After Fergie joined the group, the band changed their music style to hip-hop and dance. Since then, the band has sold over twenty million copies and around thirteen million singles all over the world. The BEP are among a very few artists who have gained the first and second positions at the same time, on Billboard Hot 100 charts. Their two famous singles ‘I gotta feeling’ and ‘Boom Boom Pow’ are the two tracks that have been on top position of US charts consecutively for twenty six weeks.
The Black Eyed Peas launched their latest album The E.N.D (The Energy Never Dies) in June 2009. This album is made up of fifteen hip hop and leg shaking tracks that are full of heavy beats and energy making you dance to the beat, even if you are not a dancer.
Tracks like “Boom Boom Pow”, “Rock That Body”, “Imma Be”, “Electric City” are worth listening. The album also consists of tracks like “Meet Me Halfway” which are slow R&B types. Then you can also enjoy a hint of 80’s electro pop song such as “Rocking to the beat”. On the whole, it can be said that this album is the best work of the band and their enthusiasm and energy is what makes their music fresh and different from others.

Aerosmith – July 15
Hello guys! I want to tell you about my experience in one of the worst concerts I ever attended in my whole life, and I was talking about the legendary band, Aerosmith. They were very popular during the 1980′s and 1990′s, and they are very successful for their various albums ever recorded. But things are getting changed right now, as they’re scheduled to be here in Atlanta for their US tour concert, I was totally excited. I have bought a ticket earlier so that I may have no problems to attend a concert with Aerosmith. Here’s one thing that makes them worst, the concert only lasts for an hour. Why? There are some issues that one of the bands from Aerosmith that needs to be done, and it’s urgent. Without one important person from the band, who will have the originality of playing their music, the show will not go on. They have played a few big hits in their entire career and providing some little entertainment with us, but things have changed after an hour, the concert stopped requested by the Aerosmith members itself. The fans were really disappointed about it, and they want to get their money back due to some issues, especially me. This concert has been one of the worst experiences in my entire life and the money I spent was not really worth at all.
Aerosmith: The Living Legend
Aerosmith is probably the best rock and roll band that ever surfaces in the music industry. Well, “best” is an understatement. The band is simply the greatest rock and rollers that America has ever loved. Aerosmith is very flexible in terms of their music. It can literally reach out to people from different ages and different walks of life. Its music transcends into pop to rhythm and blues but mostly focuses on heavy metal and rock and roll. Just the same people love them and America does not want to miss a thing. Since 1970, Aerosmith has been rock and rolling the music industry. Even if the members were tagged as the “Bad Boys from Boston” Steve Tyler charmed the listeners by its rocking voice and appeal. From the time that they had signed Columbia Records in the year of 1972, their popularity soared and never came into a halt. Up until now, Aerosmith has sold 150 million albums in all over the world; 66.5 of which were sold in America alone.
Who wouldn’t love Aerosmith? They are the greatest because even if the bands are kind of old as compared to the young rock artist nowadays, they were able to obtain a score of 21 to the top 40 Hits of the Billboard hot 100, won 4 Grammy Awards and was tagged in to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The music of the band transcends time. From “Dream On” to “I Don’t Want to Miss A Thing” and “Jaded”, the band was able to reach even the younger generations. Hence, they are considered to be a living legend in the field of rock and roll. No wonder, they positioned themselves to #57 of the very famous magazine named Rolling Stone.
Aerosmith really rocks and keep the listeners rockin’ and rollin’ as well.
