Måneskin

In an era where rock music has lost it’s lead in the charts and has been declared dead by many, no one could have predicted that a young band from Italy would be the ones to bring rock and roll back to life. The odds were stacked against Måneskin during their humble beginnings. In Italy,Continue reading “Måneskin”

Muse

At the time of this writing, I am very tempted to say Muse is my favorite band of all-time. They check all the boxes for me: I’ve been a fan of Muse now for 16 years. Although they have been putting albums out for 23 years now, I didn’t discover them until their 4th album,Continue reading “Muse”

After the Bohemian Rhapsody movie came out, it re-ignited my love for them, which has never gone away,Continue reading “Queen”

Pink Floyd

For most of my life, Pink Floyd has never left my top 10 list, in fact they’ve always been somewhere near the top. I am incredibly grateful that I was able to see them live twice. I also saw Roger Rogers a few times on his own, Nick Mason twice, and David Gilmour once. IContinue reading “Pink Floyd”
