Hey, you guys ! I'm back, soon to release a couple new songs. I wish you inspiration and joy with the musical passion we share commonly. Believe in your abilities as well as Broadjam, which has come through for me and, of course, can come through for you . My Best, Bobby Manriquez https://www.allmusic.com/artist/bob by-manriquez-mn0000474045
love this song
Hi ! It's not clear to me what song it is, but thank you !
top ten lists
rock top ten
u rock
You're kind, J-911 :-)
I'd like to invite you all to listen to the "Rock/ Easy Listening" Top 10. Listen and compare quality/ production, and over-all song value between #1 and # 10. Someone's ears are from another planet here, and it happens w/ frequency. Are there no standards anymore ?
Uh Oh ! The bigger joke is the "Blues Rock" Genre. Aside from some cool stuff from P&P (#1), it's another bazaar selection representing what I love to do- blues/rock/funk. Try listening to "Smokehouse," "Jump Start/ How We Start" or "Find That Love" in my uploaded songs. I am no poor loser/ taster of sour grapes; Listen for yourself ! I'm talkin' out of-tune guitars with awful attempts at vibrato in blues guitar, and just plain poor vocals/ production. Some aren't "blues-rock" at all; more "easy listening something or other." I'll be speaking out from time to time until my membership is up, but this is ludicrous ! *for samples of what others, from RollingStone to Carlos Santana think about my efforts, visit, please: http://bobbymanriquez.com/RSArticle.htm 1 http://www.bobbymanriquez.com/sound.html 2 http://bobbymanriquez.com/BR2005.jpg 3 http://bobbymanriquez.com/prayin.html 4 http://bobbymanriquez.com/guitarplayer.jpg 5 **PLEASE- INVESTIGATE ME ! It's taken years to develop and perform at a degree at which is simply mocked constantly by these "TOP" 10 lists !
I hear what you are saying Bobby and I am one of the lowly home studio players that can only look up to greats like yourself. To be honest I love music of all kinds, makes and even yes production values. I love getting a little bit better with every session and it's communities like Broadjam that encourage and drive me forward. Another great thing about Broadjam is that I can discover professionals like yourself that I might not have otherwise discovered and even reach out and be able to say "Wow! Great Work! It's an honor to appear on a list with someone like you!" (Blues / Rock I shared a spot on the list with you with my Shit music). Don't be put off the site by rankings. The cream usually ridises to the top but participation and connections also drive the rankings and that's why you might feel put back to be in a list with rank amateurs. It's not a question of standards so much as a willingness of some to look past the glitz and see the dedication and love for the music. Pleasure to make your acquaintance. You Rock and I am having a really great morning listening to your posts. Thanks for sharing here at BJ
I'm guessing my comment won't get "approved" but you take it all the wrong way. No one is mocking you and I find it sad that you think you are. After reading this post I am glad you were able to put me and others in our place.
Jeff- Thanks for your comments, but the second one is hard to make any sense of for me. I don't "take" anything the "wrong" (or "right" for that matter)....way. I am stating what I think to be the case here. "Mocking me ?" I don't think I ever alluded to such an accusation, so don't be "sad." :-) (I believe you're taking a leap by telling me what "I think," too, Jeff.) The last of any of my intentions is to "put others in their place." Their "place" in this case,... is audible and hopefully subject to others' opinion. Let's get real here, ....we are members here united by the cause of creating music that can qualify for "different licensing opportunities." What I'm stating is that 95% of what I hear, I KNOW would not qualify. If being "stroked" by making a top ten entertains you and makes your money for all this worth it, you got plenty more "opportunities" comin' !!

great music

very nice music .. great work mr bobby

Thank you very much ! :-)
These top ten charts remain bogus. I rarely even look/ listen anymore. Most often, my songs are at the bottom of a list of others' attempts which are not even close to pro level/ genre correct recordings. This is a listing that's hardly credible at all in my opinion, so if you're good, don't be discouraged by this type of rating system. Trust me, 95% of the songs I hear would be trashed within the first 10 seconds of a professional's listen. It does serious players/ writers little good, so I'll not be re-upping my membership. (BTW, nice pickin, Michael Casali......I see you WAY DOWN UNDER on the list :)
Oh man!!!! I just listened to "On the Make" and I absolutely everything about that song!!! Great job!!
Paul ... so glad you liked the tune. Great to hear some good words about what I do. Thanks again.
Diggin that "Off the Hook," Steve. Gimme some'o dat !
Glad you liked the tune. It actually was featured in Edoardo Ponti's last film Coming & Going along with the closing credits. One of my faves too. Thanks so much. Poppa Steve
Thanks for your review of my song: I'LL SHOW HIM WHO'S WHO. I really appreciate it. Sylvia
Again, my opinion is that this is a prime example of what should be MUCH higher in the Top 10 ! The first 4 are not the same caliber performances. Good stuff !
