This here, now this is quite the song. Written by the entire band, this hurricane of a song was released on Van Halen's "1984" album. This song entails quite a simple subject matter, girls and cars. One car in particular though, David Lee Roth(lead vocalist) saw a care race in Las Vegas, is was called Panama Express, Dave eventually purchased the car and now has the hood and bumper mounted in his hallway. This song features great guitar(which most would come to expect from Eddie), as well as the totally swank sound of Eddie Van Halen revving the engine of his Lamborghini. The guitar has the classic Van Halen style to it, which I really enjoy, and will sometimes make my hair stand up on end, I'm sure many of you experience similar feelings with music that you really enjoy.
In this blog, I will be posting songs and information on Rock and Roll, my favorite music genre.

Under Pressure
This song was a collaborative work of Queen and David Bowie. I was released in Queen's tenth studio album, Hot Space, in May of 1982. Queen had been working on the song, under the name of Feel Like, but were not content. David Bowie was in the studio, in order to give backing vocals on another song, Cool Cat, which was eventually taken out due to him being unsatisfied with his work. The final song arose from a jam session in Bowie's studio in Montreux, Switzerland. The credit for the bassline was given from Queen's bassist John Deacon, to have been created by David Bowie, but Queen guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor have credited the bass riff to John Deacon, so there's speculation as to who actually wrote it. This song feature a fantastic bass riff, and just incredible vocals from Freddie Mercury and David Bowie. In composition, this song has a prog rock feel, where it starts slow and quiet, but then crescendo's and erupts into one of Queen's finest. Last thing I have to say, for those of you who thought this was Vanilla Ice, do not even go this URL again.
