Bloodletting by Concrete Blonde

Pros: Rock out emotional music that easily gets into ones heart.
Cons: Short album.

Too often rock singers sing about love and drugs, life and drugs, being famous and drugs, rock and roll and drugs. We hear about such evils of being popular around the same time we hear about all the groupies and wild parties that ruled their hard...

Pros: Vocals are spectacular, unique on each song, a must have album
Cons: Wish they were still a band together

Yesterday I went to look at books at a Used Book Store around the corner from where I live. I wasn't expecting to see all the Used CDs they had in their collection being a Used Bookstore. My fiance and I were so excited to find 5 cds we liked, didn't ...

Pros: Title track; Joey; Tomorrow, Wendy
Cons: Lullaby

Pros: Johnette Nopolitano's sultry voice, amazing words,
Cons: none

I started University of Alabama in August of 1990, coming from Florida, which in itself...

Pros: Lyrical, beautiful, dark and haunting
Cons: Too many Vampires mentioned
