My Favorite Music

Posted in Music at 1:41 pm by earl

I have a very unique taste in music. I don’t really lean towards a certain genre or group, because if I hear a certain song on the radio and I like it enough, I’ll buy the CD. That is, unless it’s rap. I hate rap. Rap, beat boxing, jive turkey, hip-hop, trash metal that you can’t even understand goes on my X list. Honestly, I don’t mean to get on my soapbox here, but I hate rap because I guarantee you that a good 99.9999999% is about the same thing. And since this site is rated PG, I won’t mention it. You do the math. Trash metal (sad excuse for rock) is just too loud and anyone could do it. Really, I like good music. Like The Fray. They have put out some great songs like She is, How to Save a Life, All at Once, and Fall Away. I’m also a fan of 70s, 80s, 90s rock like Journey, Styx, and more. I love the song Surrender, Levon, and much much more. I find myself often times listening to the Oldies. I also am a fan of Casual Country as I like to call it. Songs that don’t go full blown like saying that their proud to be hillbillies or rednecks. Last time I checked those were insults. Except for The Beverly Hillbillies. Country bands like Sugarland, Rascall Flatts, Trace Atkins (Tryin’, I just wanna feel something) are great.

The Fray

Posted in Music at 8:59 am by earl

This is basically just a new category showing off all the coolest bands out today and some of their greatest music. Enjoy.

 

One of the greatest bands out today is The Fray, a Piano/Indie/Alternative Rock band which is best known for their awesome single, How to Save a Life. The band started back in High School, where they then went on and made several great hit singles. Here are some of their greatest hits:

  • She is
  • All at Once
  • How to Save Life
  • Over my Head

I strongly recommend this band to anyone who wants to hear something new and exciting, and all 4 of the above songs are available on their CD, How to Save a Life (See picture below).
