Yesterdays was released as the sixth single from the Use Your Illusion albums according to Wikipedia. I would have to do further research to confirm that but it's a great song none the less. It reminds me of my childhood and I love that.

Guns n’ Roses: November Rain
Wow, the single entitled November Rain blows me away. It always has and to hear it again, only this time on Compact disc, I must say it is truly exciting. November Rain appears as the tenth track on Use Your Illusion I. I just got Use Your Illusion I & II on Compact disc, I am quite excited.
Guns n’ Roses: Live and Let Die
Live and Let Die was released from Use Your Illusion I as the second single, following Don't Cry. I think it's a great song, however unbenounced to me it is a cover from a Paul McCartney & Wings song. That was unusual to discover. I still prefer the Guns n' Roses version.
Guns n’ Roses: Don’t Cry [original]
As far as I know, Don't Cry was released as the second single from the Use Your Illusion albums. However I remember it as the lead single but that is because the first single from Use Your Illusion was from a movie. That's how it tends to be with me, I think of the single solely from the albums as opposed to a soundtrack, as the lead single.
Guns n’ Roses: You Could Be Mine
You Could Be Mine was released as the first single from Use Your Illusion II. However it was also released from a soundtrack album, Terminator 2: Judgment Day (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack). I don't remember it as fondly or as much as Don't Cry, for example, but it's pretty good and brings back some good memories as far as Terminator 2: Judgment Day goes.
Guns n’ Roses: Don’t Cry [alt. lyrics]
Don't Cry is a great song, it's a classic and anyone who disagrees with that, has no clue. Guns n' Roses is one of the best bands in history, in fact I would say they are up there with the likes of the Rolling Stones and such. I don't even like the Rolling Stones, but Guns n' Roses is one of my favorite bands.
Guns n’ Roses: Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door
Knockin' on Heaven's Door was released as the fifth single from the Use Your Illusion albums. I love this single, I always have and always will, most likely. I can't see it changing, it's been a favorite song of mine since the early 90s and in this day and age, it seems very appropriate to love it even more.

Madonna: Rain
Rain was released as the fourth and final single from Erotica, my favorite Madonna album. I actually don't know if that's true but it was my first, that says something, especially considering how much I still listen to it over 20 years later.
Madonna: Cherish
The Music video for Cherish is quite amazing. I highly recommend. My favorite way to access the Music video for Cherish is through the DVD that I have of Madonna's that features most of her videos. It's entitled Celebration and it's the video collection, of which there are other collections.
Madonna: Girl Gone Wild
The Music video for Girl Gone Wild is quite exciting. I have never seen it on anything other than YouTube which is kind of sad considering I used to tape Madonna's videos all the time from Television. However I understand that it is 2014, I am just looking forward to the day when I own it on Disc or what have you.
Madonna: Drowned World Tour 2001
I just got the Drowned World Tour on DVD. It was quite exciting. It was an early Easter present for me or perhaps a present during Lent considering that in the west; Sundays are not counted for the fast. However, none the less since Madonna released the Drowned World Tour on DVD, I thought it was pretty exciting. Her name means my lady in Italian, the same way you address the Blessed Virgin Mary at times.
Madonna: Music [Drowned World Tour]
The last performance on the DVD for the Drowned World Tour is Music. It's the first time Madonna performed Music on tour since Music was released in 2000 and the Drowned World tour took place in 2001. However she performed it during the Re-invention Tour, the Confessions Tour and the Sticky & Sweet tour.
Madonna: Secret [Drowned World Tour]
The second performance from the Drowned World Tour on DVD I chose to watch was Secret. It was pretty exciting. I don't think Madonna has performed Secret during any other tour; however I have to double check. Needless to say it's refreshing none the less, as it is not a track she performs often.
Madonna: Holiday [Drowned World Tour]
The Live performance of Holiday that appears on the DVD of the Drowned World Tour by Madonna, is exciting. Her old background vocalists and dancers appear in the performance of Holiday from that tour and I think that is very exciting. Donna De Lory and Niki Haris are amazing. I haven't seen them in that kind of lighting since the Girlie Show in 1993.
Mariah Carey: Fantasy
Fantasy was released as the lead single from Mariah Carey's fourth Studio album entitled Daydream. It was a great release and I highly recommend it. Fantasy is most definitely one of Mariah Carey's signature songs, even though it is a little lyrically weak. However the Music video is amazing and there was even a hip hop remix released that isn't too shabby.
Mariah Carey: Obsessed
Obsessed was released as the lead single from Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel. Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel is one of Mariah Carey's better Studio albums in is her most recent even though she is currently working on her latest.
Mariah Carey: I Stay in Love
I Stay in Love was released as the fourth and final single from Mariah Carey's tenth Studio album. There is a little confusion when calculating her Studio albums. First of all, I don't like including her Christmas albums as I often classify those as Holiday albums. I also have a hard time classifying the album entitled Glitter as it is from a movie of the same name. However it does sound like a Studio album.
Mariah Carey: I'll be lovin' U long time
I'll be lovin' U long time was released as the third single from the album entitled E=MC^2. That album title was genius in my opinion. It represented the second take in the Emancipation of Mimi which is why it was called that. But it went a step further incorporating the mass-energy equivalence which Albert Einstein first proposed.
Mariah Carey: Bringin’ on the Heartbreak
Bringin' on the Heartbreak was originally released as the second single from Def Leppard's second Studio album entitled High 'n' Dry. However Mariah Carey covered it for her 2002 release entitled Charmbracelet. I never liked that album but this cover saved it for her, in my opinion.
Mariah Carey: Against all odds (take a look at me now)
Against all odds was included on Mariah Carey's 1999 Studio album release entitled Rainbow. Originally released by Phil Collins in 1984, Mariah Carey went on to release a version featuring Irish boyband Westlife. I enjoyed that version so much that I went on to purchase it as a standalone single only in recent years, whereas I have owned Rainbow on Compact Disc since its inception preceding the turn of the Century.
Mariah Carey featuring Da brat, Ludacris, Twenty II, Shawnna: Loverboy remix
Loverboy was released as the lead single from the album entitled Glitter and even though September 11th really put a damper on the mood Loverboy creates, I still think it is one of Mariah Carey's most well-written songs. In fact, Mariah Carey was hospitalized during the Glitter era and that really saddened me.

Madonna: I'm a sinner
I'm a sinner was included as a track on MDNA and later used as a number on the set list for the MDNA tour. I don't really appreciate the live version as much as the album version; as there are key elements missing. For instance, there are no Hail Mary's at the end of the live version.
Madonna: Give it 2 me
Give it 2 me was released as the second single from the album entitled Hard Candy. It features Pharrell Williams on vocals, although not officially. He also co-wrote Give it 2 me and his production duo, the Neptunes, co-produced it. His production duo is amazing, largely due to his skills. But I like the name of it so the Neptunes take precedence as far as which act I would choose.
Madonna: Girl gone wild
The album version of Girl gone wild is pretty exciting. I am actually in love with it all over again, due in large part to the live version that is included on the MDNA world tour. The live version of Girl gone wild serves as the opening number on the MDNA tour. Not only that but it serves as the first track on the album entitled MDNA. Madonna says in the song 'DJ play my favorite song, turn me on.' That always leads me to Erotica with her reference to that song within Girl gone wild.
Madonna: Turn up the radio
Turn up the radio was released as the third official single from the album entitled MDNA. MDNA was the twelfth Studio album released by Madonna in the year 2012. It was an exciting time for me. I had waited almost four entire years to hear new material from her contained on a Studio album. Her Studio albums are stellar. She only has twelve out of a 30 year career, but they are superior to any other artists' in my opinion.
Madonna: I'm a sinner (live MDNA world tour)
I'm a sinner was not released as a single from MDNA, but Madonna does perform it on her most recent tour in support of that album. It's the MDNA tour and it is being released on disc in September. As usual Madonna is releasing it on DVD, CD and Blu-ray Disc.
Madonna: I'm addicted (live MDNA world tour)
I'm addicted appears as a track on the MDNA world tour. The MDNA world tour is a live Digital media set that is a recording of the MDNA tour. It is available on three major Digital media types, if you want hard copies. They are Blu-ray Disc, Compact disc and DVD. It is also available as a digital download as far as I know, most notably MP3 format. However I recommend the Compact Discs as they have superior sound quality.
Madonna: Erotic Candy Shop (live MDNA world tour)
In preparation for the MDNA world tour, I was listening to a lot of Erotica. Erotica serves as a sample within a song entitled Erotic Candy Shop. Erotic Candy Shop is actually very exciting and so in lieu of not yet receiving the MDNA world tour on both Compact Disc and Blu-ray Disc; I decided to spend a little time revisiting the song, single and Music video Erotica. It's a great song and the sample of it used in Erotic Candy Shop is very exciting.

Linkin Park: Crawling
The track entitled Crawling that appears on Hybrid Theory was released as the second single from that album or the follow up single to the lead single entitled One Step Closer. Crawling is a pretty good single. I am not sure how well it sold but in my opinion, it was a great follow up.
Linkin Park: With You
The track following One Step Closer, included on Hybrid Theory, is pretty exciting. It's entitled With You and has some great guitar strumming. I don't know how else to describe it other than that. Linkin Park has some great talent, above and beyond being a great band in general. Chester Bennington is a great singer and the guitarist is also amazing.
Linkin Park: Powerless
The track entitled Powerless that appears as the twelfth track on the album entitled Living Things is very amazing. It's very well-written and so therefore I highly recommend it. However that is due in large part to the remix of Powerless, found on Recharged, which was remixed by DJ Enferno, a DJ who has worked with Madonna.
Linkin Park: Victimized
The album version of Victimized is very exciting. There is a remix of Victimized that appears on Recharged that was done by M. Shinoda. He is a very prominent member of Linkin Park, one of the original members and also serves as a Producer, vocalist and guitarist; amongst other duties. He is amazing in and of himself. However my favorite member is Chester Bennington. He has a great voice and in my opinion, is the most Christ-like, dawning the cross most often.
Linkin Park: New Divide
New Divide was released from the soundtrack album for the film entitled Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. That was the title of the second installment from the most recent Transformers film series. They have plans to release a fourth installment in 2014. They have slowed a little, but they released an installment every two years going back to 2007, following in 2009 and then most recently in 2011. Linkin Park was the band that performed New Divide.
Linkin Park: Points of Authority
The track entitled Points of Authority is so amazing. It follows With You, on Hybrid Theory; the track entitled With You following One Step Closer, the lead single from Hybrid Theory. It's like a string of great guitar strumming from One Step Closer to Points of Authority, however it doesn't end there.
Linkin Park: One Step Closer
One Step Closer was released as the lead single from the album entitled Hybrid Theory. Hybrid Theory was released as Linkin Park's debut Studio album. Previous to the release of Linkin Park's debut Studio album, they were actually called Hybrid Theory, ironically enough.
Sunday, March 23, 2014
Madonna: Rain
Rain was released as the fourth and final single from Erotica, as far as official singles released from Erotica are concerned, in North America. I say that because the song entitled Fever, that appears as the second track on the album entitled Erotica by Madonna, received the honor of having a Music video made to accompany it. The Music video for Fever is great, the Music video for Rain is even better.
Madonna: Fever
Fever was not released as an official single in the United States but internationally it was. However it did receive the privilege of having a Music video made in its honor; that is Madonna's cover of Fever. Of course there are other versions, but I prefer the Madonna cover.
Madonna: Vogue
Vogue was released as the lead single from I'm Breathless, a soundtrack album that Madonna released in the early 90s. I wasn't quite sure what to think of it back then and I still don't quite understand it. But to the best of my recollection Madonna appeared in the film Dick Tracy and so she wanted to release an album centered on that; although it is not the soundtrack album for the film.
Madonna: Cherish
Cherish was released as the third single from the album entitled Like a Prayer. The title track, Like a Prayer, was released as the lead single. But it wasn't until the release of the second single entitled Express Yourself that I really began to take notice of Like a Prayer. Cherish was a great follow up to Express Yourself.
Madonna: Like a Prayer
Like a Prayer was released as the lead single from the album of the same name. I like the single entitled Like a Prayer and I like the album the same. However I must say that the album has a slight edge, considering the inclusion of Express Yourself and Cherish. However the song or single entitled Like a Prayer has a very interesting Music video.
Madonna: Girl Gone Wild
Girl Gone Wild was released as the second single from the album entitled MDNA. That album was released from Madonna during 2012. I highly recommend MDNA, however above and beyond that I highly recommend the MDNA world tour on Blu-ray Disc. It's quite interesting; I own it in that format.
Madonna: Drowned World Tour 2001
I just ordered the Drowned World Tour on DVD; that should be exciting. I have yet to see that tour in entirety. However I have seen almost every other Madonna tour, at least her tours of late; which in my opinion are the most important.
Saturday, March 22, 2014
Linkin Park: New Divide
New Divide was released as the lead and only single from the soundtrack album from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen entitled Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - The album. The single was released by Linkin Park and they have not only released one single from a Transformers movie but three, one from each of the three installments of the Transformers film series thus far.
Linkin Park: One Step Closer
One Step Closer was released as the lead single from Hybrid Theory. That album was released as the debut Studio album by Linkin Park who ironically enough were previously known as Hybrid Theory. They were also known as Xero before that. These indications indicate to me a little German flare. The major index in the country of Germany for example is called the Xetra Dax.
Linkin Park: Waiting for the End
Waiting for the End was released as the second single from the album entitled A Thousand Suns. A Thousand Suns was released as the fourth and second most recent Studio album by Linkin Park, they have since released a fifth, a second remix album and are planning a sixth Studio album release in 2014.
Linkin Park: Victimized [M. Shinoda]
The M. Shinoda remix of Victimized is very exciting. It is drum n bass so I find it particularly exciting because I have always found that sub-genre of Electronic music good. M. Shinoda is Mike from Linkin Park. He is a key producer for the group amongst other talents; however he really shines on this track as a great producer.
Linkin Park: Lost in the Echo [Killsonik]
The Killsonik remix of Lost in the Echo is very exciting. I didn't realize how exciting it was until well after I got Recharged on disc. That is due in large part to the lead single that Linkin Park marketed as the best song from Recharged. However I feel that the Killsonik remix of Lost in the Echo is much better.
Linkin Park: Castle of Glass [M. Shinoda]
The Mike Shinoda remix of Castle of Glass is exciting. It's actually entitled [M. Shinoda] however, I have grown tired of utilizing that label since it doesn't fully describe him as a recognizable member of Linkin Park. As far as I know he was one of the founding members which is amazing for me given my love for Linkin Park.
Linkin Park x Steve Aoki: A Light that Never Comes
A Light that Never Comes was released as the lead and only single from the album entitled Recharged. That album was released on October 29th, 2013 and serves as the second remix album released by Linkin Park. They released it the year after they released their fifth and most recent Studio album in order to compliment it.
Thursday, March 20, 2014
Spice Girls: Holler
Holler was released as the lead single from Forever, along with Let Love Lead the Way being a double A-side for the single. In other words, they were released at the same time, as opposed to having the lead single released and then a follow up single. It was a good decision. I don't know if I would have done it. But it made the album entitled Forever exciting.
Spice Girls: Wannabe
Wannabe was released as the debut single from the Spice Girls in 1996. I must say that the Spice Girls are one of my favorite groups, if not my ultimate favorite. For example, they are most definitely my favorite girl group. However there could be a boy band or what have you that I like more, but I doubt it. I love the way girls sing, so it has got to be them.
Spice Girls: 2 Become 1
2 Become 1 was released as the third single from Spice. Spice was released as the debut Studio album from the Spice Girls. The Spice Girls have sold more records than any other female group, including but not limited to Destiny's Child and TLC. In fact they were the biggest thing out of the UK since Beatlemania.
Spice Girls: Say You'll Be There
Say You'll Be There was released as the second single from the Spice Girls in 1996. I didn't really like Say You'll Be There upon its release. But I have grown to like it since and I am especially in love with it today, 2014. The Spice Girls were the biggest thing out of the UK, since Beatlemania. That says quite a lot considering how many records the Beatles sold.
Spice Girls: Let Love Lead The Way
Let Love Lead The Way is a great track. Released by the Spice Girls, the Music video is extraordinary. The Spice Girls released a DVD with one of their editions of their Greatest hits album and it features most of their videos. I highly recommend it. The Music video for Let Love Lead The Way is most easily accessible there.
Spice Girls: Who Do You Think You Are
Who Do You Think You Are was released as the fifth single from the album entitled Spice, in the Spice Girls' native UK. However it did not receive an official release in the United States for some odd reason. But there was a video made for it and the Spice Girls included it on the DVD that comes with their Greatest hits album, or at least the edition I have.
Spice Girls: Headlines (Friendship Never Ends)
Headlines (Friendship Never Ends) was released as the lead and only single from the Spice Girls Greatest hits album, in 2007. I bought their Greatest hits album right away, however I wasn't after the Compact Disc as much as the DVD that came with the edition that I bought of it. The DVD features most of their videos and it is amazing.
Wednesday, March 19, 2014
Guns n’ Roses: Yesterdays
The song entitled Yesterdays by Guns n' Roses is pretty exciting. Not to be confused with The Beatles song entitled Yesterday, it doesn't quite measure up to the caliber of The Beatles, but does a good job none the less. I say that because Guns n' Roses does a cover of a Beatles song on Use Your Illusion I and I often think of The Beatles whilst listening to Yesterdays.
Guns n’ Roses: November Rain
November Rain is a stellar song. The Music video blows me away and even though the song is about twice as long as an average song, I still love to listen to it and watch the Music video for it. November Rain appears as the tenth track on Use Your Illusion I.
Guns n’ Roses: Live and Let Die
Live and Let Die was written by Paul McCartney and his wife at the time, Linda. But I prefer the cover done by Guns n' Roses. It's amazing and appears as the third track on Use Your Illusion I.
Guns n’ Roses: Don’t Cry [original]
The original version of Don't Cry, found on Use Your Illusion I is my favorite. The alternate lyric version, found on Use Your Illusion II is good but the original version is the one they used in the Music video. They being Guns n' Roses, one of the most successful rock bands of all time.
Guns n’ Roses: You Could Be Mine
You Could Be Mine is an ok song. It appeared on the Soundtrack album for Terminator 2: Judgment Day and was released as the lead single from Use Your Illusion II. I love Use Your Illusion II, but not because of You Could Be Mine. Rather I love Knockin' on Heaven's Door.
Guns n’ Roses: Don’t Cry [alt. lyrics]
The alternate lyrics version of Don't Cry is exciting, only because I love the original version so much. It's strange because as a child I listened to the alternate lyrics version more than the original. However these days I prefer the original version found on Use Your Illusion I.
Guns n’ Roses: Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door
Knockin' on Heaven's Door was written by Bob Dylan but I love the Guns n' Roses version. I grew up with the Guns n' Roses so they have a special spot in my heart as opposed to Bob Dylan and even The Beatles who they cover. Knockin' on Heaven's Door is very well-written none the less.
Monday, March 17, 2014
Ke$ha: Die young
Die Young was released as the lead single from the album entitled Warrior. Warrior was released as the second Studio album by Ke$ha. Ke$ha was featured on the Reality Show entitled The Simple Life where Paris Hilton quickly rose to fame and in my opinion, Ke$ha resembles her in the Music video for Die Young. Die Young is a great song and Ke$ha is a great artist. I love the connection between Paris Hilton and herself.
Britney Spears: Radar
The Bonus track included on Circus entitled Radar is pretty exciting. I never felt that way before but now that I have had the chance to listen to the Tonal Club remix of Radar available on B in the mix: the remixes Vol. 2, I feel differently. In fact it took me so long to get into this song that even though Britney Spears originally included Radar on Blackout and then subsequently as a Bonus track on Circus. It wasn't until I bought B in the mix: the remixes Vol. 2 this year, 2013, that I have really enjoyed Radar.
Steve Angello: Monday
The track entitled Monday that is available on Swedish House Mafia's first Compilation album entitled Until One is very exciting. Produced by Steve Angello, it reminds me of Heidi Montag from the Reality Show entitled The Hills considering that her last name is how you say Monday in German. I am not sure if you see the connection there but the Swedes were a Germanic tribe and in my opinion, Heidi Montag is the epitome of a German-American.
Madonna: Future Lovers
The track entitled Future Lovers that appears on Madonna's tenth Studio album entitled Confessions on a Dance floor is pretty amazing. Madonna chose to use this track as the opening number for her tour in support of this album and I think that was a great choice. That tour was entitled Confessions Tour and the media that was released in support of the tour was entitled The Confessions Tour. Madonna does that sometimes on purpose where she names the tour something different than the media that is released to accompany the tour. For example in 2012 the MDNA tour and then the media released in 2013 entitled MDNA world tour.
Madonna: American Life
I enjoy Madonna's rap on American Life too much. In my opinion, she is the best rapper on the face of the earth. But others would disagree. Of course she is not African-American so she doesn't have that kind of talent; however that is exactly why I enjoy hers more. She is like the white Eminem and she only has that one rap part from her entire career basically so it's strange but that's how good she is at doing it.
Heidi Montag: Superficial
The lead single from Heidi Montag's debut Studio album is crazy as in crazy good. I have been listening to it via YouTube for about a year now. But I finally got the courage to download it from HMV. It's entitled Superficial much like the title of the album. In fact it is the title track. Heidi Montag is great in my opinion.
Paris Hilton featuring Lil Wayne: Good Time
The lead single from Paris Hilton's upcoming second Studio album is amazing. It's entitled Good Time and it features Lil Wayne and even though I have never bought anything released by him specifically; his part on this track is still pretty exciting. However Paris Hilton owns it and does an amazing job at wearing the crown. She's not an heiress or anything.
Thursday, March 13, 2014
Linkin Park: Meteora
Apparently the album entitled Meteora is Linkin Park's best-selling album. That's strange because it was my last pick in their lineup of Studio albums. I received A Thousand Suns first and then Living Things, Hybrid Theory and finally Minutes to Midnight preceding Meteora. We will see if Meteora lives up to its reputation.
Linkin Park: Hybrid Theory
Hybrid Theory was released as Linkin Park's debut Studio album in the year 2000. They have since released four additional follow-up album, along with compilation albums and live albums. They are very talented and I highly recommend them, therefore. Based out of Agoura Hills in California, they have a very distinct Los Angeles sound, in my opinion.
Linkin Park: What I've Done
The album version of What I've Done in Compact disc format is extraordinary. I am used to hearing this song from the movie it is best known for being from. However there is nothing like hearing it on CD. I love CDs and on the cusp of 2014, that is certainly strange to hear but it's a hard format to replace.
Linkin Park: One Step Closer
One Step Closer was released as the lead single from Hybrid Theory. That album was released as Linkin Park's debut Studio album. I now have all five of their Studio albums including a remix album so six albums in all. I haven't done that except for the likes of Madonna, Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson.
Linkin Park: Somewhere I Belong
I haven't had a chance to listen to much of Linkin Park's second Studio album, Meteora, but the lead single sounds pretty good. Entitled Somewhere I Belong, Linkin Park displays a very distinct sound, in my opinion that separates them from the crowd. A comparison on a Canadian scale would be Nickelback which have shown American success. But they come nowhere close to Linkin Park's immense talent.
Linkin Park: Minutes to Midnight
Wow, Minutes to Midnight is a great album. It's unfathomable how impressed with Linkin Park I am. They are a huge deviation from anything that comes close in terms of how many records I have of theirs. For example, I have more records of theirs in my collection than anyone else except for Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey and Madonna.
Linkin Park x Steve Aoki: A Light that Never Comes
A Light that Never Comes was released as the lead single from Linkin Park's second remix album entitled Recharged. I have become rather impressed with Linkin Park's catalogue. It ranges from the like of Electronic rock to nu metal and even though I am a huge Electronic music fan, Linkin Park's forte is most definitely nu metal. They excel at it and pretty much define the genre.
Wednesday, March 12, 2014
Heidi Montag: Superficial
Superficial was released as the lead single from the Studio album of the same name. The artist who released that album was Heidi Montag, she is most famous for her stint on The Hills. The Hills was a Reality Show that was on the air during the first part of the 21st Century. It ended in 2010, but I didn't get into it as far as watching it until after that.
Tuesday, March 11, 2014
Britney Spears: Work B**ch!
Work B**ch! was released as the lead single from Britney Spears' upcoming eighth Studio album entitled Britney Jean. That album will be released on December 3rd, 2013; a day after her birthday whereas her birthday is one week before mine. It should be an exciting time for both of us.
Rebecca & Fiona: Bullets (Club edit)
The Club edit of Bullets that appears on Tiesto's Club Life volume one Las Vegas is very exciting. The Music video for Bullets appears on Rebecca & Fiona's record label's YouTube channel. That YouTube channel is called UltraRecords. I highly recommend the video along with the DJ duo themselves. Rebecca & Fiona are great DJs, coming all the way from Sweden.
David Guetta featuring Kid Cudi: Memories
Memories was released as the fourth single from the album entitled One Love. That album was released as the fourth Studio album by David Guetta. David Guetta is from France, he was born in Paris. To me that's phenomenal considering my love for that city. Paris is the city of Love and I have a huge thing for Paris Hilton and her work.
Paris Hilton featuring Lil Wayne: Good Time
The lead single from Paris Hilton's second Studio album is entitled Good Time and it's great. There is a part featuring Lil Wayne in it but I much prefer Paris Hilton's part considering it is rare to hear her sing these days. However she does a phenomenal job and to hear her swear is a little over the top but good over the top. It drives me wild.
Rihanna featuring Calvin Harris: We Found Love
We found Love was included on Calvin Harris' 18 months Studio album but was originally released as a Rihanna single. It features Calvin Harris and that is why he included it on his album but was released as the lead single from her sixth Studio album entitled Talk that Talk.
Calvin Harris featuring Florence Welch: Sweet Nothing
The track entitled Sweet Nothing that appears on Calvin Harris' 18 months is pretty extraordinary. I shouldn't say that, it's amazing. 18 months was released as his third Studio album. Calvin Harris was born in Scotland which is a country in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The UK belongs to the EU and is a member state in that union.

Guns n’ Roses: Yesterdays
The Beatles have a song entitled Yesterday and Guns n' Roses has one entitled Yesterdays, as in more than one yesterday. I always thought that the Guns n' Roses song was a cover of The Beatles' song but apparently not. We will have to see but to the best of my recollection they sound very similar, or at least have a similar message.
Guns n’ Roses: November Rain
It's hard to get over such a well-written song. I remember when November Rain was released all the way back in the early 90s and to this day it remains one of my favorite songs. It's hard to find such well-written music these days, as it says in American Pie about the day the music died, well music as well-written as November Rain is hard to find in the year 2014.
Guns n’ Roses: Use Your Illusion I
Right away I can hear the difference between the actual Compact Disc of Use Your Illusion I and the ripped version in MP3 format from the CD I bought. So right now I am listening to the Compact Disc on my Discman whereas earlier today I was listening to the CD on my MP3 player as I ripped the CD onto my computer.
Guns n’ Roses: Use Your Illusion II
Use Your Illusion II was released the same day as Use Your Illusion I but the reason Guns n' Roses released the album as two, is because the music couldn't all fit onto one CD. That's my theory, but it's a pretty good one, considering that back in the early 90s it was unheard of to release a 2CD album.
Guns n’ Roses: Don’t Cry [original]
The original version of Don't Cry is stunning. My sister was a big fan of Guns n' Roses and in particular the song entitled Don't Cry. It brings back fond memories as my sister is no longer with me. Don't Cry is very well-written, however I think the original version is superior to the alternate lyrics version.
Guns n’ Roses: Don’t Cry [alt. lyrics]
The alternate lyrics version of Don't Cry, found on Use Your Illusion II, is interesting. I actually listened to that version more than the original, when I was a child so it's fun re-visiting it. I had both Use Your Illusion albums on cassette tape but I always gravitated towards Use Your Illusion II more than Use Your Illusion I, for some reason.
Guns n’ Roses: Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door
Knockin' on Heaven's Door is a great song. Written by Bob Dylan, Guns n' Roses puts a great spin on it and even though I have not heard any other version, I would argue that the Guns n' Roses cover is my favorite version.

Linkin Park: Faint
Faint was released as the second single from Meteora, Linkin Park's second Studio album. I am loving Meteora right now. It was the last Studio album I bought of Linkin Park's however I must have been saving the best for last.
Linkin Park: Numb
Numb was released as the third single from Meteora, an album I am in love with right now. It is so well-written and produced that I can barely contain myself. It took me a while to get to Numb but I am glad I got to it. It's the last track so it took a while.
Linkin Park: Lying From You
Lying From You was released as a promotional single from Meteora, not an official single but Promotional. I love promotional singles. For example, No Doubt holds the record for best promotional single in my opinion. That would be the title track from their sixth Studio album entitled Push and Shove.
Linkin Park: One Step Closer
One Step Closer was released as the lead single from Hybrid Theory. Hybrid Theory was released as the debut Studio album by Linkin Park, a band I adore. Chester Bennington, in particular, is my favorite. I love the way he sings, it's so soothing believe it or not.
Linkin Park: A Thousand Suns
A Thousand Suns was released as the fourth and second most recent Studio album by Linkin Park. However it was the first album of Linkin Park's that I decided to purchase. A Thousand Suns is very well-written and produced and so therefore I highly recommend it.
Linkin Park: Waiting for the End
Waiting for the End was released by Linkin Park as their second single from A Thousand Suns. I love Waiting for the End. It's a great track and the Music video is super. I tend to watch it on Linkin Park's official YouTube channel most often. It is usually the first video I gravitate towards.
Linkin Park: Somewhere I Belong
Somewhere I Belong was released as the lead single from Meteora. Apparently, Meteora was not Linkin Park's best-selling album. But it was close and so close that I am still not sure if it wasn't. However, Linkin Park's debut Studio album has sold many copies.

Armin van Buuren: Pulsar
The fifth track included on Armin van Buuren's fifth Studio album is pretty amazing. The fifth track is entitled Pulsar and the album is entitled Intense. I am just getting into it but so far it is pretty amazing. I would say it is Progressive Trance at its finest, unlike Tiesto which is generally Trance only. I find that Armin van Buuren is much more progressive but I am coming off a high from really great Progressive house care of Swedish House Mafia; so that might explain it.
Rebecca & Fiona: Bullets (Club edit)
The club edit of Bullets is great. I just finished watching the music video for it on YouTube. Rebecca & Fiona are by far the best female DJs I have ever heard. They are hard to come by, much like female rappers, although much more exciting. My preference is Electronic music versus Hip hop. I have always had that preference and most likely always will. However that is due in large part to my European ancestry. Electronic music originated in Europe, whereas Hip hop was mostly born out of America.
Armin van Buuren: Who’s afraid of 138?
The track entitled Who’s Afraid of 138?! that appears on Armin van Buuren's fifth Studio album entitled Intense, is pretty exciting. There are no lyrics and I like that in a song, at least when it comes to Electronic music. It is rare that I like Electronic tracks with lyrics. However, Swedish House Mafia tends to do a good job at impressing me like that.
Sebastian Ingrosso & Tommy Trash: Reload
The track entitled Reload that appears on the Deluxe edition of Until Now is super good smitto. That means it's really good. It is produced partially by Sebastian Ingrosso. He is part of the supergroup of DJs named Swedish House Mafia. Swedish House Mafia is based in Sweden, a key member state of the European Union. My dream is to accede into the union someday myself, much like a nation does before it becomes a Member state.
Armin van Buuren: Last stop before Heaven
Last stop before Heaven, the eleventh track included on Armin van Buuren's fifth Studio album entitled Intense, is pretty amazing. I am just getting into the album entitled Intense but so far it's pretty good. There are some tracks that I could do without because of the excessive singing. However the instrumental-style tracks most definitely make up for it. They are some of the best Progressive Trance tracks I have heard in a while.
Armin van Buuren featuring Miri Ben-ari: Intense
I can already tell that the album entitled Intense by Armin van Buuren is going to be nuts. The first track which happens to also be the title track is crazy. Dutch Trance at its finest. The track is 8 minutes and 46 seconds long, great for any intense, no pun intended, activity.
Axwell/Swedish House Mafia: Heart is King/Save the World (Knife Party remix)
The track entitled Heart is King/Save the World (Knife Party remix) that appears on the Deluxe edition of Until Now is super amazing. Heart is King is produced by Axwell, my favorite member of Swedish House Mafia and the Knife Party remix of Save the World is originally produced by SHM. Knife Party is an Electrohouse duo from Australia.

Linkin Park: Meteora
Meteora was released as Linkin Park's second Studio album on March 25th, 2003. The only other major release from that year that comes to mind for me is American Life. That was released by Madonna and even though the two have nothing in common, Chester Bennington does bare the mark that Madonna often displays. That would be a cross.
Linkin Park: Reanimation
Reanimation was released as the first remix album by Linkin Park. I am anticipating receiving that album any day now. I ordered it from Amazon.com and even though the postal delivery system is not that good in my country, I still recommend ordering from Amazon.com because they are an amazing company.
Linkin Park: Hybrid Theory
Hybrid Theory was released as Linkin Park's debut Studio album on October 24th, 2000. From what I can tell, Hybrid Theory is Linkin Park's best-selling album with Diamond certification in the US. That is a feet hard to attain however since Linkin Park is talented, they didn't have a problem.
