Paul Simon
I personally really enjoyed listening to Paul Simon. He has an amazing voice mixed with really deep lyrics that really make him alot better when you know his backstory about having a pretty messed up life. Overall though, Graceland was a great album that I personally enjoyed listening to alot.

Tim McGraw
Tim McGraw is one of my favorite country artists, and that is a lot coming from me because I usually try to steer clear from country as much as possible. However I personally love the story that Tim McGraw tells in his songs, combined with his singing makes for a perfect duo.

2 Chainz
2 Chainz is possibly the worst rapper I have ever heard, and it troubles me that today so many people in high school enjoy listening to him. His raps are not creative and are almost all about getting money and then spending it on strippers. He used to go by the name "Tity Boi" before he went solo from Three Six Mafia.
Hair Metal
I personally hate hair metal, I think its way to flamboyant and stupid. For me its just so like in your face with all of their clothes and hair screaming at you filled with random guitar solos. However I will admit Eddie Van Halen is a badass whenever he goes off on a solo. Overall hair metal though, not my thing.

Billy Joel
Recently a video went viral of Billy Joel answering questions at some sort of event. One kid, a huge fan of him told him that it was his dream to play a song with Billy Joel. Billy let him on stage and they performed one of Billy Joels most famous songs, it was truly amazing how good the kid was at piano and how awesome it was that Billy Joel let him play with him.

N.W.A
This past weekend I was watching some documentaries on Netflix and I came across, the sports documentary: Straight Outta L.A. The documentary was directed by Ice Cube, and was basically about how big of an influence the Los Angeles Raiders had on Hip Hop in California, back in the 80s and 90s. I have known about N.W.A, since one of my friends played one of their songs for me over Xbox Live and I have always thought of them as this crazy hip-hop group, that really in my opinion started the whole concept of 'Gangsta' Rap. If you have some time on your hands, you should definitley check the documentary out, I think you would like it a lot.

The Bee Gees
I can tell you that when we listened to The Bee Gees in class on Thursday, it was definitely not my first time hearing that song. With parents who were growing up during the 70s and the 80s, I have heard countless numbers of Bee Gees record playing all throughout the house with my parents dancing like they were in Saturday Night Fever. In my opinion, I love the Bee Gees and I just think they are completely awesome. I feel this way because their music, is so original and gives you an image of what the disco scene was like... and honestly it just makes you want to dance. Overall, I love the Bee Gees and my favorite song of theirs is definitely, Stayin Alive. Whats your opinion on them?
