If there is one artist that has captured the imagination of a lot of people in various occasions, that would be Queen. These guys were really such a hit and their songs, especially the good ones, remains popular today.

One song that almost everyone likes is “We Will Rock You“. This song was also played during the entrance of Manny Pacquiao in his boxing fight against Oscar Dela Hoya last year.

History-wise, Queen was never taken seriously by critics and even partly discriminated. But nevertheless, their following continues to soar and have remained loyal to date.

If you love Queen as much as we do, check out their various musical works and enjoy!

I often hear the phrase “silence is bliss”. Its interpretation is dependent on how a person perceived the meaning of such. A definition given to me, by a friend, is illustrated in a song from Ronan Keating

“When you say nothing at all” (a popular hit from the 1999 movie “Notting Hill“) gives the point – love can be expressed in silence.

I noticed that U2 song Beautiful Day is often used in transformation workshops. I just went through an amazing one that have set me free on a lot of things. It is indeed a beautiful day. Enjoy the song!

The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There’s no room
No space to rent in this town

You’re out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you’re not moving anywhere

You thought you’d found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace

It’s a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It’s a beautiful day
Don’t let it get away

You’re on the road
But you’ve got no destination
You’re in the mud
In the maze of her imagination

You love this town
Even if that doesn’t ring true
You’ve been all over
And it’s been all over you

It’s a beautiful day
Don’t let it get away
It’s a beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I’m not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out

It was a beautiful day
Don’t let it get away
Beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I’m not a hopeless case

What you don’t have you don’t need it now
What you don’t know you can feel it somehow
What you don’t have you don’t need it now
Don’t need it now
A beautiful day…………………

See you in U2 360 concert in Spain or Chicago soon!

If there is one movie that captured the hearts of many in 2008, that would be Mamma Mia! led by popular celebrities Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgard, Julie Walters, Dominic Cooper, Amanda Seyfried, Christine Baranski, among others.

The Mamma Mia! movie experience was filled with laughter, dance, and beautiful ABBA songs. It was such a record breaker and will be one of the most hard to beat in the years to come in terms of movie box-office and DVD sales.

Like many, my favorite song and scene in the movie is Meryl Streep rendition of the song, The Winner Takes It All. Here is the song lyrics for you to sing along. Enjoy!

I just updated my post last year about the U2 Upcoming Tour Dates for 2009. The concert tour dubbed as “U2 360” will take place mostly on stadium trek in support of their new album “No Line on the Horizon“.

The concert will be in 19 locations across Europe, USA, and Canada. In Europe, U2 is expected to visit countries like Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Netherlands, Ireland, Sweden, Croatia, England, and Wales.

It seems I will get the chance to watch it and post my experience. This is my first time as well to see a concert done in a 360-degree audience configuration. The staging and giant video screen will definitely be an experience. I’m very excited!

The U2 tour will be up to 2010 and tentatively planned to cover South America as well.

See you at the U2 concert soon!

80′s singer icon Rick Astley visited the Philippines last year for a concert. Busby SEO Test peer was in another location and just monitored the concert developments online. The blog post, plurk reactions, twitter, among others can be found everywhere.

Then there is also the term “rickrolled” where a Rick Astley song kept playing in one’s head over and over again. Well this is the one that struck Busby SEO Test peer then and when shared at Plurk, online friends laugh about being “rickrolled”. Heh!

Starting and maintaining a web site or blog is like taking care of a baby. One must be loved, fed, cared for, nurtured, protected, fought for, among others. Those who joined the Busby SEO Test competition, especially the ones topping the leaderboard, have put in a lot of effort that made this activity pretty much personal. I have my own share of disappointments but this whole SEO game, the uncertainty, made me love it as well.

Billy Joel is one music icon loved by Busby SEO Test readers. His music reaches out to a lot of people perhaps because of its simpleness, honesty, and at times coyness.

He is currently on tour and avid fans can catch up with him at the following locations:

• Feb 6 2009 – Hollywood, FL Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino
• Feb 14 2009 Las Vegas, NV MGM Grand Hotel

Observing search engine results for Busby SEO Test, I can sense some silence. Things are not updating as often as they used to.

I guess in times of silence, it is also good to contemplate on the SEO test techniques applied and learn from it. Just like in real life when silence allows you to dream as much as it brings you back to reality.

It also reminds me of songs by Simon And Garfunkel whose live concert album gets used to play at home back in my childhood days.

The interesting thing about the Busby SEO Test is that most of us are willing to go far, including things we haven’t done before – even bending our own rules and principles, just to prove ourselves on the love and passion we have for SEO.

It keeps you focus and makes you think – what else can I do? What else can I give? It is like you can’t stop until you are assured that the one you love (the search engine) is satisfied and convinced that you are worthy. Having that thinking also pushes your creativity, it makes you mine all your online assets and mobilize to work towards your SEO goals.

The whole experience reminds me of a metallica group that I haven’t listened to for a long time – Meatloaf. Enjoy!
