So, ladies and gentlemen, I give you Blur - the excellent britpop has-beens.

How to start learning to play the guitar By : Harry Nack This article will give you some good tips on how to start learning to play guitar Scooter Biography And Top 10 Songs By : Andy Jackson - Wisdom_Mcr Everybody has some bands or artists that they listen to but all their friends, family, people they talk to hate. Scooter are one of those bands for me and I think I only have one friend who can tolerate them for more than a song or two and that's only because he likes the genre of music. Squeeze Biography And Top 10 Songs By : Andy Jackson - Wisdom_Mcr I started listening to Squeeze when I was about 7 or 8 because I remember buying Take Me I'm Yours at a flea market (I used to go to look for old original records) for about 25p on cassette single, and I remember buying it just because I liked the cover art. At another flea market pretty soon after I got the Squeeze album for about 75p and ever since then have loved their music. Fleetwood Mac Biography And Top 10 Songs By : Andy Jackson - Wisdom_Mcr I probably started listening to Fleetwood Mac when I was about 10, 11 or something like that because I remember getting their Greatest Hits album and it had only just been released and at the time I didn't really know who they were but because I always listen to all sorts of music people just used to buy me music instead of toys. When I listened to it I knew most of the tracks and I now think of it as one of my top 20 albums of all time. Blur Biography And Top 10 Songs By : Andy Jackson - Wisdom_Mcr I have liked Blur since before they became popular after the release of their Parklife album which most people think was their first. Back in the day there was a big band battle between Blur and Oasis and most people chose one or the other but I chose both. Both bands have different styles and I think Blur made some good music. Iron Maiden Biography And Top 10 Songs By : Andy Jackson - Wisdom_Mcr The song Charlotte the Harlot probably started me listening to Iron Maiden more than just hearing them on the radio because (and I know this is mean) when I was at school back in the day there was a girl I knew called Charlotte and I used to call her Charlotte the Harlot because of knowing the song. This was really when I was a little kid of about 8 and I actually ended up having her as a girlfriend when I was about 14, so it all worked out ok in the end. Blondie Biography And Top 10 Songs By : Andy Jackson - Wisdom_Mcr There were two main reasons I started listening to Blondie and they were: first I thought Debbie Harry was amazingly beautiful and second the style of music they made. At the time I got into Blondie I was listening to a lot of punk and new wave stuff like The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Sham 69, The Exploited, Ramones, Ian Dury, The Stranglers, etc... and it also helped me to annoy my parents. I actually used to like putting posters on my wall when I was a kid at school and one of my posters was a full size poster of Debbie Harry. The Smiths Biography And Top 10 Songs By : Andy Jackson - Wisdom_Mcr The Smiths are another of my favourite Manchester bands and as I have said before, you have to support your own. I think I initially started listening to The Smiths when What Difference Does It Make came out in 1983 and I thought Morrissey had one of the most interesting voices and lyrical styles which were not the usual sort popular at the time. Some people think that The Smiths were a depressing band with very boring lyrics but I think I connected with them because of that. I like to be unique and different which I think is reflected by some of the music I listen to. I do think some of the songs contain very emotional lyrics but I wouldn't say they were too depressing or boring and actually quite funny. Texas Biography And Top 10 Songs By : Andy Jackson - Wisdom_Mcr I have liked Texas ever since they released their first single (I Don't Want A Lover) while I was still at school. At the time I was still listening to "pop" music and the charts on the radio regularly (which I don't do much anymore) and I thought Sharleen had one of the best female singing voices I have ever heard. Usually when out at a party or at the pub and a DJ is on you are restricted by the music they carry but you can bet on the fact they will have at least one Texas song on a cd somewhere, so I generally ask them to play it because mostly they dont have some of my other favourite music (The doors, Jimi Hendrix, Wu-Tang, etc...) which I would probably request otherwise. Pink Floyd Biography And Top 10 Songs By : Andy Jackson - Wisdom_Mcr I think I probably started listening to Pink Floyd because I used to chill with some dudes who smoked weed and used to play Floyd a lot and I found the music is really good to listen to when you are stoned. Pink floyd are a kind of psychedelic rock cross breed and their lyrics are quite deep and philosophical. Traveling Wilburys Biography And Top 10 Songs By : Andy Jackson - Wisdom_Mcr The Traveling Wilburys are not only one of my favourite groups because they made some very good music but also because the group consisted of some of my favourite artists. I started listening to The Traveling Wilburys when I was about 15 when my nanna got me a harmonica because I love the sound it makes and I was into Bob Dylan. The harmonica is one of the instruments I can actually play and I still have the harmonica my nanna gave me to this day and still play it occasionally. Jimi Hendrix Biography And Top 10 Songs By : Andy Jackson - Wisdom_Mcr I have listened to Jimi Hendrix since I can remember and he was probably the first person I ever wanted to be when I was a kid. I love the guitar but I can play it about as much as I can walk on the moon. When I was much younger I attempted to take guitar lessons, but I didn't have my own guitar and had to use my dads. The problem with that is, I'm left handed and my dad right handed and so we had to keep switching the strings about which my dad moaned at. There was no way I could play the guitar left handed like Jimi Hendrix so I eventually gave up and decided to appreciate the guitar skills in others and focus my energy on other things. The Sex Pistols Biography And Top 10 Songs By : Andy Jackson - Wisdom_Mcr The Sex Pistols are one of my favourite groups because even though people said that they couldn't play their instruments, I thought they give it a very good go. I first started listening to the Sex Pistols because they annoyed my dad who ONLY listens to country music and won't consider listening to anything else. The more I got moaned at for listening to them the more I actually played them. The Carpenters Biography And Top 10 Songs By : Andy Jackson - Wisdom_Mcr This is another band I have to thank my sis P for getting me into. When we were little kids my sister used to watch the Karen Carpenter Story over and over when we were on our 6 weeks holiday from school, and I used to pretend I didn't like it for a while because it was "girly" but eventually I gave in and then we used to sing all the songs together when they came on. ABBA Biography And Top 10 Songs By : Andy Jackson - Wisdom_Mcr I began listening to ABBA when I was about 15 or so and just leaving school because obviously I had heard some of their songs on the radio and TV but somehow I came across an ABBA cassette and played it and then played it over and over. Musically and phonetically ABBA are one of my favourite groups of all time (which is why I am writing this). James Biography and Top 10 Songs By : Andy Jackson - Wisdom_Mcr James are probably my favourite of all the Manchester bands that I like (you have to support your own boys and girls). I first started listening to James because my sister P liked them when I was a kid. Wu Tang Biography And Top 10 Songs By : Andy Jackson - Wisdom_Mcr I first started listening to Wu-Tang when a friend of mine was talking about one of their songs and I hadn't heard it, so I made it my goal to listen to the song. Once I had listened to it I became an instant fan and addict and that doesn't happen often to me because I like most kinds of music. The Doors Biography And Top 10 Songs By : Andy Jackson - Wisdom_Mcr The Doors were an American band and were formed in Venice Beach in 1965 and consisted of Jim Morrison (Vocals), Robby Krieger (Guitarist), Ray Manzarek (Keyboards) and John Densmore (Drums).

Bob Marley Biography And Top 10 Songs By : Andy Jackson - Wisdom_Mcr Bob Marley has been one of my favourite artists for a long time. I probably own more Bob Marley CD's than any other band or artist with the exception of Wu-Tang. My friends mum D, is partly responsible for my listening to Bob over the years because when I was little I used to like the song Jammin' and used to play the 45 single I had of it all the time and I had got the single off her. I would say I have a Bob CD in my stereo 90% of the time (it can have 3 in at a time). Bob not only made good music but also the messages that the lyrics were about were of peace and freedom. Pet Shop Boys Biography And Top 10 Songs By : Andy Jackson - Wisdom_Mcr When I was a kid I had heard the Pet Shop Boys on the radio whenever new singles had been released but it wasn't until I was about 14 or 15 when I started to take more of an interest in their music. This was because I had never taken the time to listen to more than one song at a time. I used to chill with a group of dudes at my friend chicken's house and he had the Pet Shop Boys Discography album and used to play it and the more times I heard it the better it became. I have most Pet Shop Boys albums now and listen to them on a regular basis.

The piano or the keyboard witch is better to learn By : Harry Nack This article is pointing out why it is better tostart with a keyboard instead of a piano, when selecting a instument to learn to play Medieval and Renaissance Europe Music By : Baden While musical life in Europe was undoubtedly rich in the early Medieval era, as attested by artistic depictions of instruments, writings about music, and other records, the only European repertory which has survived from before about 800 is the monophonic liturgical plainsong of the Roman Catholic Church, the central tradition of which was called Gregorian chant. Music is experienced by individuals in a range of social settings ranging By : Baden Music is experienced by individuals in a range of social settings ranging from being alone to attending a large concert. Musical performances take different forms in different cultures and socioeconomic milieus. In Europe and North America, there is often a divide between what types of music are viewed as a "high culture" and "low culture." Chord Spelling By : Dennis St Germain With the growing interest in Jazz and other forms of music, I find more and more people asking about chord symbols and chord construction. While there are many books out there on the market, there is very little explanation of how chords symbols are interpreted. I’d like to share some of my insight with all you music enthusiasts.

First of all you must be committed to learning about the guitar prior to learning how to master it Popular teen music at present By : Sunil Kumar Favorite music for Teens now has variety of styles. A lot of songs cover mostly about teen needs and hopes. Modern rock and pop are some of the types of music most teens listen to. Teens find these kinds of music change their moods, furnish their slang, prevail on their conversations and make an ambiance at social gatherings. These kinds of music for teens define the crowd and groups around them. It allows them how they should act and dress accordingly. It seems that it even modifies the study habits. The influence of different kinds of music somehow makes an impact in a teenager's life. How to add more plays to MySpace By : William Powers Ever wondered how to get more plays on MySpace?
