Unfortified Castle

Outkast's magnum opus has taken on quite an interesting life since its 2000 release.

...as is pretty much every Rage Against The Machine song.

I'm stressed as [CENSORED]. This Doobie Brothers gem helped mitigate that a bit.

Robyn's 2010s-defining hit is narratively unfitting such a response... but deep down, such an act really makes a lot of sense.

It's an excellent pop track on its own, it came with an album announcement, and its message is welcome as I work through internal matters.

I reflect on a song I had trouble finding which itself asks a question of its lyrical subject in light of infatuation.

Simply put, it's N.E.R.D — that says more than any genre label.

You don't sample and rap over Otis Redding and get away with it... right? Unless you're Ye and Jay.

Gil Scott-Heron took on a decidedly different perspective from the Last Poets in his response to "When the Revolution Comes."

As I ponder various current events and prospects for "revolution," I turn to the Last Poets' Harlem-based perspective toward social change.

The White Stripes' 2001 single showcases their unmistakable sound in my favorite ways.

Simon & Garfunkel's hit from The Graduate is a reflection of their thoughts on mid-60s America.

CamelPhat are leaders of the style now, and I saw it coming with this 2015 production.

The ever-excellent band combine classic rock influences with their modern indie sound on a recent single.

I only came around to hip hop a few years ago, but more recent developments make it resonate with me even more now.

This site is dedicated to discussion of popular music, but explaining today's choice necessitates a flashback to the Romantic era.

I didn't realize that until I looked a little closer for this post, which also led me to appreciating the song even more.

*deep breath* This is a pretty personal piece, but that's because of what this song means and has meant to me.

The Pointer Sisters' eternally catchy hit is more than meets the ear.

Elderbrook and Bob Moses' lyrically driven house production has been a personal anthem since I first heard it about half a year ago.
