Some Thoughts On The Nature Of Progressive Music
Introduction These are just some of my thoughts on what makes music "progressive" and whether it always needs to be rock-based in the eschelons. While music started probably as chants to the heavens, which became hymns, and songs about life and nature that became the lifeblood of folk music, and these threads eventually led to classical music, in which groups of musicians performed written music together. Then these threads, folk, religious and classical, continued to grow and split, giving us blues, jazz, soul, rock, and roll.

Songs That Should Not Exist. Top Story - September 2025.
There are so many songs I could add to this list. 1. “Friday” – Rebecca Black Listen here “Friday” is the aural equivalent of stepping barefoot on a Lego. Every note is a testament to what happens when ambition meets no discernible talent. The autotuned vocals are robotic, the lyrics read like a diary of a caffeinated thirteen-year-old, and the beat is an unrelenting metronome of despair. Listening to this song is simply unpleasant. It is an experience of existential torment wrapped in a pop veneer.

I Will Find You
Introduction This snippet is from a Seven Days In post that I did in 2013, when I discovered this amazing song: It's one of those things. I have lots of albums I've not listened to, Today, for the first time, I decided to play "Fireships" by Peter Hamill and was stunned by the first song "I Will Find You", an amazing alien splicing of Blondie's "Presence Dear" and The Police's "Every Breath You Take". You haven't a clue whether the protagonist is a love-struck, caring admirer or an evil, devious stalker, with the latter being the favoured outcome. I've included the song just because it really is a case of you don't know what you're missing.

When Talent is Non-Existent
When I saw Sam Spinelli's challenge, asking us to name and shame our five least favourite songs, I got very excited. I can be a grumpy, judgemental, opinionated ass at the best of times (ask Ruth, the good lady wife!), but when it comes to music, I've learned to try and keep schtum when I think something is terrible. All because I'm just trying to be a better person (My Name is Earl opening ref, anyone?).

In Orlando, where events range from corporate conferences to concerts and private gatherings, professional audio visual services are essential.

10 Nostalgic Rock Radio Hits From the 2000s
When I was growing up, my area had an alternative rock station that played a variety of rock hits, indie-ish tracks and songs from local bands. I loved listening to this station and looked forward to it every time I went on a long car ride. In fact, I even imagined driving around aimlessly just so I could listen to this station when I turned sixteen. Evidently, I wasn't familiar with the concept of "gas money."
