Joanie Mitchell

Joanie Mitchell's voice is kind of bubbly in a way. It reminds me of a bird. She can really control her voice though and you can tell she's experienced. I like her more upbeat songs but the slow ones are good to go to bed to. They kind of all sound the same too. I still like her singing though! She's very talented.

Led Zeppelin

I'm not the biggest fan of Led Zeppelin. I don't know what it is about it that I don't like but I just don't like it. I don't have much to say about this band.

Across the Universe

The Beatles song Across the Universe is one of the best songs they've sung in my opinion. Fiona Apple is an amazing singer and she did a cover of Across the Universe. I think it's better than the first version.

Ed Sheeran

Many girls my age around 14-17 years old have been talking about Ed Sheeran being the best artist around and personally I dont like his music. I dont know what it is about it that I dont like but I just am not interested in his music. Although he is number 33 on the charts so he must be some what okay to be kind of up there.

Oldies but Goodies

One of my favorite decades EVER in the music world was the 90's. I feel like there was so much variety and there was so much going on with different types of genres. There was so many brilliant bands like The Spice Girls, Garbage, Pixies, The Smashing Pumpkins, Barenaked Ladies, Mazzy Star, and many others that would take too long to name. It was just an overall good decade. That is all I have to say.

Covers

Song covers can either be really good, maybe better than the first version, or really bad. One cover that I love is a cover by Ellie Goulding of the song High for This by The Weeknd. The beat she uses in the cover makes the song more up to tempo and kind of electronic sounding. If you don't like that type of sound than you probably won't like this cover. In my opinion it's one of the best covers ive heard. Go YouTube it!

Lana Del Rey

A lot of people have recently been talking about this new artist Lana Del Rey. I really like her music just because her voice is whimsical and sultry. She isn't as well known as some artists but I think she will soon get there.

Black Sabbath

This band to me is alright. I don't hate em' but I don't love em' and one thing I didn't like was how many solos they had. Their songs just went on and on with solos. It got annoying. Also they didn't seem put together. They were sloppy sounding. The lyrics were also strange.

The Weeknd

Recently I have been overly abusing this new artist putting his songs on repeat when I listen to them. The tone and melody of these songs is what I really like. It's a single guy and he raps but it's not like any rapper just rhyming words about nothing but more meaningful things. I think he's an artist that everyone can like. His song Wicked Games has began playing on the radio so you could be familiar. If you sound interested in his songs you should listen to him!
