Gwen Stefani - The Sweet Escape


This song is played a lot on the "Star is born 5" (Israeli version of the "Idol" series) promos in Israel's TV channel 2 .

They used the "Whohoe, whihoo" thing a lot to make fun of most of the contestants...

I didnt like it so much...

Travis - The Boy With No Name


During the late '90s, after Blur and Radiohead were the U.K. biggest Bands and Oasis disappeared , British-pop fans turned to Travis, who was actually more like the Little Band from Scotland.

Travis unassumingly pretty folk pop , gives you melodic moments that reminds old days.

Travis always puts out quality music and I'm always surprised at how they can top their last album!

They keep on giving us better and better music.
Easy to listen to - easy to sing along with - and so entertaining.

Sir Phill Collins


Can’t understand why Phil Collins hasn't been knighted.

In my opinion, he is on par with Sir Elton John.
His song, "Another Day In Paradise" talks about homelessness.
We don't hear much about that issue in music. In my opinion, his rendition of "True Colors" is better than Cyndi Lauper's with the Collins touch.
The beautiful song "Two Hearts" Is worth at least an Oscar.
Phil's voice is outstanding tool and has a great range from pop rock to smooth ballads like "Against All Odds" and "I Wish It Would Rain Down".
Another anecdote - Phil appeared in The Beatles' A Hard Day's Night as one of hundreds of screaming teenagers during the climactic concert sequence.

Cream - Star Factory


It's rather amusing to think that Cream formed over 40 years ago.

They were so revolutionary, just about everything they did left a huge influence on rock bands to come.

Ginger Baker is an insane drummer, and was one of, if not the very first, to use a double bass drum.

Jack Bruce invented and perfected that fade-in bass technique and Eric Clapton...well, when you hear the man rip it out , you know these guys were something special.

Cream were a very good hard rock band that influenced many other hard rock bands.

You can listen to Cream over and over again and never get bored.

Eric Clapton - Tears In Heaven


" Would you know my name If I saw you in heaven

Will it be the same If I saw you in heaven

I must be strong, and carry on

Cause I know I don't belong Here in heaven "


This lyrics was written by Eric Clapton after his son's Conor Death at the age of 4.5 years old.

Conor fell from a New York apartment building because his nanny had left the window open.


The song is very touchy and sad.
