The Best Heavy Metal Live Albums
As I always prefer my music live, whether gig or record, I thought I would share my favourite live records. So, in no order…
ASHLEY SMITHPublished 7 years ago in BeatThe 'List: Halloween Musicthon
Hello, one and all, and.... boo! So, my buddy Calvin "Oates" Cherry and I have been dealing with work and some personal issues, which is why our 'lists have been a little slow to come lately. November will be the ideal month to resume our fun music lists with an array of artists and various musical genres we are officially cooking up for you.
Carlos GonzalezPublished 7 years ago in BeatTop 10 Songs for Physical Fitness
Top 10s 1. "Lose Yourself" (Artist: Eminem Release Year: 2002 Creators and Producers: Marshall Mathers and Jeff Bass) Being a core Eminem fan, there was no other reason for me to start with someone else's song. "Lose Yourself" is a song that instantly gives me inspiration. Though the lyrics are meant to be for Marshall Mathers' own journey in music industry, it is very much motivational for anyone trying to achieve any goal in his/her life. When I start with this song, I know that it will surely boost my energy levels and charge me up for the upcoming gymnasium session. The best thing about this song is that it has very remarkable music with lyrics having almost every word rhyme with some other and that too with keeping their meanings straight. What a beauty! I can literally feel the struggle in his lyrics and easily relate to his/her workout difficulties and hence gradually starting and finishing the workout session successfully and that makes this the top song to start my workout/yoga with. It really makes me forget the stress from the day.
Hitarth RavalPublished 7 years ago in BeatPlaylist For The Low-key Emotional Strong Girl.
With over 170 songs, from falling in love to breakups, chilling to road trips, ballads to remixes, alternative to EDM to rap with a hint of country. This is a mix of the newest little bits of everything. And a little bit of throwbacks. All loaded with lyrics full of feelings. This is an emotional rollercoaster playlist. This is a chill list.
7 Best Rock Bands of the 2000s
As of July 2017, it was revealed that rock is no longer the most popular musical genre in the United States. While many different factors played into rock's seemingly sudden fall from grace, one particular catalyst can be identified as the deluge of bland and uninspiring rock music that came out of the 2000s. From the formulaic post-grunge stylings of Puddle of Mudd, Nickelback, and Creed that dominated rock radio in the late 90s to mid 2000s to the offensively brain-dead dribble that nu metal bands like Limp Bizkit and Papa Roach, and pop punk bands such as Simple Plan and Good Charlotte, pumped out, the public was being pushed into listening to the worst that the rock scene had to offer. While the 2000s bred about as many awful musical acts as any other decade, the 2000s were an interesting time period in which it seemed that the most mediocre and drab talents were planted upon the pedestal of the mainstream, leaving some of the truly great bands to gain audiences within the underground. In this list we will be taking a look at some of the best bands to produce rock music during the 2000s, as opposed to that... well, other list I made about 2000s rock bands (will be linked below). Like in previous decade-centered lists, not all of these bands made music only throughout the given decade. Each of these bands not only produced amazing work during the 2000s, but were also major players in the rock scene by innovating and influencing other bands and subgenres. Let us kick things off with:
Matt KnightPublished 7 years ago in BeatSilver Linings Playlist: Halloween
Hello, and welcome back to Silver Linings where I spotlight the best of the weird, maligned, and forgotten. Halloween is my favorite time of the year; I've said that before. Any excuse to indulge in the creepiest movies and games is fine by me. However, I do lament that my radio largely gets ignored during this time as there's very little in terms of music that fits the holiday. That stands in stark contrast to Christmas which sees everyone and their grandmothers putting out albums singing the same Christmas songs that have been sung for centuries.
Adam WallacePublished 7 years ago in BeatUnder-appreciated Talent: Artists That Deserve Way More Recognition
As mainstream music becomes more and more uniform and predictable over time, it's not often that the chance is given to find great "under-the-radar" artists. Luckily, through searching high and low, I can safely say that I've found a few artists that are unique in their own right, and have captivated me from the moment I laid eyes (or should I say ears) on these bands/artists. If you haven't already, you should definitely, and I do mean definitely, give a listen.
Songs to Savor
I don't know about you, but I listen to music practically 24/7. I enjoy having a soundtrack to my day, something to keep my story driving on. Whether it be listening to "Sh Boom" while cooking pasta, the Mamma Mia soundtrack while speed-walking to class in the morning, or a classic Beatles tune while putting my laundry away, music plays a huge role in my life.
Jessica DesplenterPublished 7 years ago in BeatThe 'List: 1977
Hello one and all. Like the Tony Manero (John Travolta) character from Saturday Night Fever, I grew up in Brooklyn, NY and while my recollection is pretty fuzzy at this point, I do remember going to the supermarket on Thursdays with my mom to buy groceries. I remember going to kindergarten at a local head start nearby. I remember my mother casually announcing that I had a baby sister on the way and I do remember sitting in front of the television enjoying everything from The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries, The Six-Million Dollar Man, The Donny & Marie Show, The Captain & Tennille Show and wall-to-wall segments regarding the soon-to-be-blockbuster smash, George Lucas' seminal space-opera, Star Wars.

Hey! My name is Elizabeth Hunt! This is my first post on Vocal and I wanted to share with you what my page is going to be about. I will write about music, album reviews, and movie reviews. Everything I review will fall under the category of "indie" because that's the style I enjoy. I don't think I'll put an explanation under all of them but the one's I'm really passionate about I will.
Elizabeth HuntPublished 7 years ago in BeatThe 'List: 80s Movie Hits
Hello one and all. So, here we are! A "new" 'list. My buddy Calvin 'Oates' Cherry and I have been forthright about our passion for music and here is a new format now. In this 'list, we won't just profile artists of the 1980s, or any singular decade in one extended entry posting. This is a 'list that will now encompass artists, groups, and even musical genres of all decades and yes, even specific set years. Here's the first of the list that highlights a once popular staple of the Cabbage Patch Kid/ Rubik's Cube/ Pac-Man decade: The movie soundtrack.
Carlos GonzalezPublished 7 years ago in Beat8EEZ Playlist: Tom Petty (R.I.P.)
"And I'm Free. Free Fallin'." Hello, one and all. First, an announcement. The 8EEZ Playlist will be no more after this. After much consideration, my buddy Calvin "Oates" Cherry have decided to drop the stylized, "8EEZ" moniker (though fun it was) and we're going to just call it "The 'List" from now on. This is so we can add and encompass artists and music genres in our lists from all decades: 7EEZ, 9EEZ, etc. We figured that the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, and yes, even the 10s, all deserve a shout.
