The Rolling Stones


Although this band have pretty much died out now and rubbed out by all the shit going round, I still kind of like them, but just a couple of their songs at the most. Probably because I want to be a rock star and dream about playing the incredible solos in front of thousands of screaming people. But its not just the solos, the whole mood of the band just seems really cool and their tone just sounds really special, especially the singers voice and the inevitable solo in every song. One of my favourites is 'Sympathy for the Devil' and I just love how he sings it and the lyrics, especially when he's talking about the Russian Revolution and how he thought it was time for a change as Anastasia screamed in vain and all these other infamous events that happen throughout the course of history, and how he almost seems proud of his accomplishments, but also there are a couple of incredible solos in there that I wish I could play.

Here are a couple of their songs:



Jamie T


Jamie T is one of my favourite artists of all time, partly because of his lyrics and how he makes and performs his music, but also because he is incredibly cool.

He's different to most other people as he raps most of his music but is still indie, he isn't the cliché of a rapper as in making mindless and meaningless shit whilst talking about what car he has and the bitches he pimps... Jamie T's lyrics actually tell a story and that is what I love in songs: stories but with good tunes to go with it. He is a lyrical genius - 'Sticks n' Stones': he is now an adult and is looking back on the days when he used to be young and reckless, running from gang leaders and causing havoc with his mates, living the teenage life to the full. 

Here are a couple of his songs, listen closely to the lyrics, they're the best bits.
