Some Thoughts On The Nature Of Progressive Music
Introduction These are just some of my thoughts on what makes music "progressive" and whether it always needs to be rock-based in the eschelons. While music started probably as chants to the heavens, which became hymns, and songs about life and nature that became the lifeblood of folk music, and these threads eventually led to classical music, in which groups of musicians performed written music together. Then these threads, folk, religious and classical, continued to grow and split, giving us blues, jazz, soul, rock, and roll.

Five Songs that Irritate My Ears
The Five Songs That Really Irritate My Ears Some of my essay here is going to focus on the technical parts of singing and recording a song. I’ll also take a look at how these songs were received by the public and how they performed on the charts. I’m not necessarily going to say I hate or dislike any of them, but I’ll explain why they made my list of five songs that irritate my ears. For context, I was a teenager in the 1970s, I was 15 for the entire year of 1975, so most of my picks come from the late 1960s through the early 1980s.

Songs That Should Not Exist. Top Story - September 2025.
There are so many songs I could add to this list. 1. “Friday” – Rebecca Black Listen here “Friday” is the aural equivalent of stepping barefoot on a Lego. Every note is a testament to what happens when ambition meets no discernible talent. The autotuned vocals are robotic, the lyrics read like a diary of a caffeinated thirteen-year-old, and the beat is an unrelenting metronome of despair. Listening to this song is simply unpleasant. It is an experience of existential torment wrapped in a pop veneer.

When Talent is Non-Existent
When I saw Sam Spinelli's challenge, asking us to name and shame our five least favourite songs, I got very excited. I can be a grumpy, judgemental, opinionated ass at the best of times (ask Ruth, the good lady wife!), but when it comes to music, I've learned to try and keep schtum when I think something is terrible. All because I'm just trying to be a better person (My Name is Earl opening ref, anyone?).

10 Nostalgic Rock Radio Hits From the 2000s
When I was growing up, my area had an alternative rock station that played a variety of rock hits, indie-ish tracks and songs from local bands. I loved listening to this station and looked forward to it every time I went on a long car ride. In fact, I even imagined driving around aimlessly just so I could listen to this station when I turned sixteen. Evidently, I wasn't familiar with the concept of "gas money."

The Guitar
I decided to learn to play the guitar out of spite. My parents had bought one for me, years ago, but two separate instructors had been determined to use it as a means of teaching me to identify key signatures via Mary had a little lamb, London bridge is falling down, and various beige flavored compositions by other music tutors. I lost interest quickly. All of that changed on the night of my fifteenth birthday.
