Popular Rock Music Of The 90s - The Songs That Defined A Decade
2008-08-31 23:31:00 Rizzo Music is back with a new article from the "Popular Music of the 90s" series. Last week I made a list of some of the best pop music of the decade and today I am going to share with you my list for the most popular rock music of the 90s. Out of all the lists and playlists I have created in the past, this was by far the hardest to come up with. There are so many great artists and songs that originated in the 9os and deciding on just 5 songs for every year was tough. I tried to get representation out of all the key rock artists and hopefully I didn't forget anyone.After much debate I was able to compile this list. There are so many songs that I really like that could not be included due restrictions on space but there are 50 great singles here for your enjoyment.How it works:For each genre of music I will rank the top 5 singles from each year in the 90s. I will provide a link for each song (either imeem or youtube, depending on availability) for your listening pleasure.Disclaimer... More About: Songs , Rock , Rock Music

Popular Music Of The 90s - The Hits That You'll Never Forget
2008-08-29 00:12:00 Remember when you could turn on the radio and actually find some decent music? That is what I miss the most about the 90s. Whether you liked rock, pop, or rap, the 90s provided your fix for your particular tastes.

Coldplay's New Single: "Violet Hill"
2008-05-04 18:12:00 With the new album, "Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends" set to be released June 17th, 2008, Coldplay has announced it's first single, "Violet Hill ". It is available on Coldplay.com as a free download for 2 more days till May 6 when it will be officially released and made available for download on Itunes. It was first made available for free download on April 29th and in the first 24 hours it was downloaded a remarkable 600,000 times. Chris Martin, lead singer of Coldplay, has been quoted as saying that the new single has a "chalky, pastel feeling" that reminds him of his childhood. I wouldn't say that the new single is my favorite single by Coldplay but it is definitely growing on me. "Violet Hill" features a fairly simplistic yet catchy guitar solo that is by far my favorite part of the song."Violet Hill" has me intrigued if the new album will be as good as Coldplay's previous.

Song #92: "Don't Go Away" by Oasis
2008-05-01 01:54:00 After a fairly long hiatus, RizzoMusic is back with the countdown and one of my personal favorites, "Don't Go Away" by Oasis . "Don't Go Away" is just one song in a string of successful singles that Oasis released in the 1990s. It was the fourth single released off of one of the most highly anticipated albums in music history, "Be Here Now". Although, Oasis' third studio album, sold over eight million copies worldwide, it is considered by many music enthusiasts as a disappointment and none of the tracks from the album are included on Oasis' best-of album, "Stop The Clocks". "Don't Go Away" is just one of my favorites from a album full of some great songs, a song that features some of Liam's best vocals.Oasis is really a band that needs no introduction, a band that has sold over 50 million albums worldwide. Releasing three albums that each sold over 7 million copies in one decade is truly remarkable and a testament to the great music that they created. While their album sales of... More About: Song

Counting Crow's New Album "Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings"
2008-01-24 02:43:00 One of my favorite bands, Counting Crows, is set to release their new album, "Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings" on March 28, 2008. This is the band's first studio album since "Hard Candy" was released back in 2002. It has been about six years in between albums, but the Counting Crows still have a strong following that all began back when they first released "Mr. Jones" in 1993. Adam Duritz had this to say about the new album, "Saturday night is when you sin and Sunday is when you regret. Sinning is often done very loudly, angrily, bitterly, violently." The album is split up in to two halfs, the Saturday night half and the Sunday morning half.The Counting Crows are allowing fans to get a little preview of the new album. They recently released two of their new songs, "1492" and "When I Dream About Michelangelo". You can visit their website countingcrows.com or you can click here to download these songs for free.

A Look Back At The Best Music of 2007
2008-01-18 04:46:00 We are mid-way through January of the new year and there has been no reflective post from Rizzo Music about the year that was, 2007. It is about time I put an end to this. To be honest I don't listen to the radio as much as I used to so I have fallen into a position where I am sort of "out of the loop" when it comes to popular music these days. I have focused my attention on the efforts of some of my favorite bands, most of which sprouted in the late 90s or at the dawn of the new millennium. These bands include: Third Eye Blind, The Wallflowers, Goo Goo Dolls, Better Than Ezra, etc., most of which I have either mentioned in the past or have written specific articles on.Needless to say though, I have found some quality releases for 2007 that I would like to share with you. Some of which I have already reviewed, some of which I promised I would review and didn't, and some that might have slipped my mind over the span of my several hiatuses from blogging.When looking back, 2007 was a...

Song #93: "The Impression That I Get" by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
2008-01-16 16:43:00 It's back to the countdown of Rizzo Music's Top 100 Song s of the 1990s with "The Impression That I Get" by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones coming in at number 93. Another One Hit Wonder of the 1990s, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones hit it big with their single, "The Impression That I Get". Mixing heavy guitar riffs with the sounds of several different brass instruments is typical of the band, and it fell on welcoming ears in 1997. It hit #1 on the Modern Rock Charts and topped out at #23 on the Hot 100. The band will alway be known for their one hit, "The Impression That I Get" but the success of that song enabled their next two singles, "Royal Oil" and "Rascal King" to crack the Top 10 of the Modern Rock Charts and put ska-punk back on the map, at least for a little while.The Mighty Mighty Bosstones are a ska-punk band from Boston, Massachusetts.
