David Guetta
I’ve been listening to Chicago’s B96 a lot lately, and there are a few songs that really get me bouncing and bumping in the car. Now up until recently, I didn’t even question who was doing those songs, but I finally realized that all the tracks that really got me jazzed were all by the same artists, DAVID GUETTA. A french DJ who was popular in nightclubs back in the 80s and 90s, who has really come into his own and brought some new fresh beats to today’s music scene. You can


Ratatat
What a truly amazing band. I can’t think of a single RATATAT song that I don’t like.

This electro-rock music duo has truly won over my heart, I could listen to it all the time. Their smooth beats and funky electric guitars just create some amazing instrumental works

Performing onstage within a giant glowing pyramid, the duo busts out jaw-dropping and crowd-bouncing beats that wow e


Subterranean Homesick Blues - Bob Dylan
In high school, I took a class called Music of the 1960s. It was such a cool class, we got to learn about all of my favorite bands and write papers about the meanings of songs and their lyrics. My favorite was writing a paper about Bob Dylan’s Subterranean Homesick Blues. But the best thing about this song is the music video. It’s so simple and yet so cool. This video has inspired many other artists to create their own videos with a similar theme of que cards. Here are some e
