I was on the internet the other day, as you all are right now, I was reading about, getting my information and such. I stumbled across a piece on Tobias Jesso Jr. In it the author compared him to Elton John, John Lennon and… Tom Odell. Its not a hidden fact that I hate Tom Odell. So I was very offended that people could look at Tobias and say you're like that piano pop kid. Tobias is on a different wavelength and he is a talented musician. The artist however who he is most similar to is Harry Nilsson, the famous rock balladeer. While Tobias may not have the voice to match Nilsson's he does have the same song-writing spirit. Nowhere is this more prevalent than on Tobias' song Hollywood. Love songs are perhaps the most common sort of song, it is the reason many people play the guitar. So writing an amazing love song is increasingly difficult, but Tobias. Tobias has it. Album Goon out March 17th 

Yesterday Bobby Keys died. With him went the greatest saxophonist of the Rock n Roll era. He may not have rivalled the great jazz saxophonists, but he indubitably changed the sound of Rock N Roll. Perhaps best known for his affiliation with The Rolling Stones (He was born on the same day as Keith  Richards). Here, in his honour, is a list of his finest moments. The Wanderer - Dion  Brown Sugar - The Rolling Stones  Can't You Hear Me Knocking - The Rolling Stones Whatever Gets You Through The Night - John Lennon Among his other greatest achievements include playing on George Harrison's All Things Must Pass , The Stones' Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile On Main St., and hundreds of other amazing albums. Heres what some of his colleagues and friends have reacted with. "'Another good bye to another good friend' I will miss you, Bobby" - Keith Richards "Thank you Bobby keys for the time we spent together God bless ...

In honour of the 40th anniversary John Lennon's last concert appearance: 28th November 1974. I'm going to list the top 5 most significant Beatles performances of their career. The band's touring schedule was famously cut short in 1966, after becoming increasingly annoyed with the fact that they could not hear themselves perform, and the fact that there songs could no longer be recreated for a audience with just 4 Beatles. Tour with Roy Orbison (May 18th - June 9th 1963)  Riding high off their Please Please Me album, Brian Epstein (The bands manager), organised a 'joint' tour between the Beatles and Rock N Roll superstar Roy Orbison.  The Beatles during the tour were reportedly shown up by Orbison's performances, and reports claim that Roy stole almost every show.  During the performances The Beatles wrote She Loves You and All My Loving during the tour.  George and John continued their friendship with Orbison after the tour, and George and Roy...

As i'm certain you all know a royal baby is on its way, whether you're a member of the commonwealth or not I'm certain the media has force-fed you this information. Or maybe you're going to have a child yourself, congratulations if that is the case. So what songs will be on this list? Mainly Rock Songs, and some songs you may not believe are about children, they are in fact. 1. Pearl Jam - Daughter A song about a young girl with learning disabilities, this song attempts to highlight her everyday struggles.  2.

This type of list has been done a million times, and there's a reason why. You can't label the Beatles (as a whole) as any Genre, hence why i'm showing you the best of the best. Although I can't help but stress the fact that i Love the Beatles and may be (ever so slightly) bias towards them. 5- Abbey Road - Released 1969 Ah, yes the most iconic album cover of all time. The "greatest" Beatles album.  So why is at number 5? Well, why don't you the educated reader of this post look at is track listing. If you're a casual Beatles fan you may recognise songs like "Something", "Octopus's Garden", "Here Comes The Sun or "Come Together" but how many of the other songs can you identify with based just on the title? not many i'll bet. I can just about remember half the songs by reading their title the other half... well don't ask me! 4- Rubber Soul - Released 1965 Now this is a album. This is ...
