It’s great to get yourself a karaoke machine but what about the things that you need to go with it? For instance, don’t forget about the music! When you first get involved with karaoke, you just can’t get enough of it. It doesn’t matter what the music type available to you you’re going to buy it. After a few days of this karaoke frenzy, you begin to settle down a bit especially when the pocket book isn’t singing.

If you are new to karaoke, you may not be aware of what’s available to you by the way of freebees, referring to the internet. Karaoke has become such a hot venue that many sites are offering free download music. This is the perfect scenario for you. Now you can get back to the music that you love the most, and not just buying whatever’s on sale.

You may be a little leery as to why anyone would want to give away free music. it’s a simple concept really. If you read somewhere that, a site is giving away free karaoke music then you can’t resist the temptation to check it out no matter how dubious you are about it. That’s the very purpose of the give away. Its to get you to come to that particular site. Most likely, you are going to see a variety of karaoke equipment for sale as well here. It’s with the hopes of you purchasing one of these items that the site owner wants you to visit. Giving away some free music is a small concession on their part if they can make a sale from it.

Some sites specialize in music. In these cases, they still have lots to offer free but there is much they have to offer for only a small fee. The marketing concept here is that you may utilize the free ones but you will also buy some of the ones for sale as well. They are well aware that karaoke buffs can just never have enough music.

Perhaps you are a lover of karaoke but the price to purchase a karaoke machine is just a wee bit out of reach right now. Well if you have a computer then you also have a karaoke machine, Well in sort of a way. You can buy software that will allow you to do this. It’s very reasonably priced and super easy to use. In fact, some packages are even free or cost next to nothing.

It’s well worth researching all the resources on the web when it comes to karaoke. You may want to check out some great sites like Free Karaoke, My Music Tools and My Music just to name a few. No doubt, you will find many of your own resources as there are new ones surfacing all the time.

In summary if, you love to sing, then there’s no reason you too can’t enjoy karaoke by way of either free songs or free software. Either choice you can bet you are going to have hours of endless fun.

Classic rock is a term used loosely to describe the albums released in the early to late 70′s by artists which have become legendary and therefore ‘classics”.

Most of these albums/artists were highly original and would become influential on many other bands for generations to come. No matter what era you were born in since the 70′s almost ANY band you listen to would have been influenced by artists and bands from this era. So even if you are now only in your teens and you find you favorite band sounds “totally original” you can bet your bottom dollar that they were influenced by someone from this era ( even if they don’t even know it!)

The seventies was a great era for music because it truly was a ground breaking time for original music. Nothing was copied, or rehashed, everyone had their own sound even though, as always in music, the 70′s was a continuance and evolution of music from the 60′s, but it matured more fully in the 70′s.

Bands and artists such as Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Jimi Hendrix , Free, Allman Brothers, Queen, Black Sabbath, Cream, David Bowie, Status Quo are all examples of acts who made their start in the 60′s but found their sound and style in the 70′s, and therefore gave rise to many other bands who then added their own flavour to these styles.

Lesser known bands such as Uriah Heep, Wishbone Ash, Grand Funk Railroad, Scorpions (who became quite huge in the 80′s), and Thin Lizzy are worthy of mentions but would not necessarily be known as legends, where as other acts such as Queen became absolutely huge and remain so to this day.

It is the same with “guitar heroes”. Almost every guitarist no matter what age has heard of or has listened to Hendrix, Clapton. Jimmy Page etc but there are other extremely talented and influential guitarists who are less well known that should be in the legend status as well. Two such examples are Richie Blackmore from deep purple and Michael Schenker from UFO. You will find some modern players such as Kirk Hammet and Dimebag Darrel were heavily influenced by Michael Schenker, but Schenker has not really achieved “god like” status such as some of his contemporaries like Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton.

I could go on for hours about classic rock and there are hundreds of excellent albums that are still available today, (and some fine ones deleted) but some songs and albums rate a special mention for their guitar prowess and are worth your time to have at least a quick listen.

Here’s a quick list or lesser known gems of classic musical genius that are worth a listen:

Deep purple:
Guitarist: Richie Blackmore:
Choice albums: Made in Japan and Deep Purple in Rock
Songs: Highway Star, Child in Time.
Some of the most blistering guitar work you will ever hear recorded in the early 70′s and held the Guinness Book of Records title as the loudest recording ever made!

UFO:
Guitarist: Michael Schenker.
Choice Albums: Phenomenon and Force It.
Songs: Rock Bottom
One of the most exciting and dynamic solos ever recorded, he was about 18 at the time!

FREE: (later to become” bad company” another excellent act!!)
Guitarist Paul Kossof
Album: Best of Free.
Songs: All Right Now, Fire and Water, .Mr. Big [live]
Simplistic and slow style excellent natural tone, all feeling!!! A Les Paul plugged straight into a marshal, no pedals and no tricks.

WISHBONE ASH:
Guitarists: Andy Powell & Ted Turner.
Choice albums: Argus and There’s The Rub.
Excellent melody and twin harmony lead breaks, copied by many acts since! Very complex arrangements

I know I have missed many other guitarists and bands here, but the thought is to give an idea of the amount of unearthed ‘gems’ there are to be heard apart from the obvious legends!!
