Southern - Where I Want To Be SCS

SoundCloud Song

This is the latest from artist Southern which is to be released on the 18th of August. This song really carries on with the same style of music that they have produced so far which is no bad thing. I think when the inevitable album gets released, it will sound like a perfect package of blues, acoustic/rootsy slide guitar and boy-girl vocals which this track will fit nicely into. If you a fan of Jake Bugg in terms of lyrics and the story telling aspect of songs this one is definitely worth a listen. Beautiful song!

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

So the 2014 nominees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has been announced. They are:

-Kiss

-Nirvana

-The Zombies

-Yes

-Deep Purple

-Linda Ronstadt

-Peter Gabriel

-Cat Stevens

-Hall & Oates

-The Meters

-The Paul Butterfield Blues Band

-LL Cool J

-Link Wray

-Chic

-N.W.A.

-The Replacements

Well this is the first time I have actually paid attention to who the nominees are for the Hall of Fame. Its never really been that widely announced in England. First off, I wasn't sure how much rap/hip hop music is in the Rock accepted Hall of Fame but I definitely think N.W.A. should be included in my opinion, by their influence on other artists alone. I don't feel so strongly about LL Cool J . On the rock side of things I honestly think the likes of Hall & Oates and Kiss should be accepted and I expected Nirvana to already be included seeing that in my opinion they have done so much and made such an impact in the small time they were around. I have heard bits here and there about the other artists but in my perhaps naivete I don't think they have done enough to deserve a place in the Hall of Fame.
