Posted Fri Aug 29, 2008 10:45am PDT

The 25 Best Blues Rock Bands

Posted Fri Aug 22, 2008 2:22pm PDT
North Hollywood Shootout is the new Blues Traveler album. Since they have the word "Blues" in their title, we have to take them at their word and assume they are a ‘blues rock' band. Certainly, they wouldn't lie. It's been proven--mathematically!-- More »

The Top Ten Post-Southern Rock Era Generation

Posted Wed Aug 13, 2008 4:15pm PDT
For our purposes here--mostly to keep my sanity--I'm sticking to bands that in some way conjure up the tradition that's been handed down by the Allman Brothers Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd. If a band somehow reflects that influence, they were entitled to More »

The 25 Best Singer-Songwriters Currently Working

Posted Mon Aug 11, 2008 1:01pm PDT
My criteria here was a little weird. You could be old but not too old. You had to be active, but you might not have made an album in some time. You could be pop, but you couldn't be too pop. Or you could be. I stuck to these relatively unsuccessful p More »

The Top 25 All-Time Best Rock Live Albums

Posted Fri Aug 8, 2008 2:04pm PDT
Nothing says entertainment like the sound of a thousand hands clapping--out of time. Oddly, however, rock n’ roll does yield many great live albums. Tim Hardin, a doomsayer like Nico and a country guy by the name of Johnny Cash--Hendrix aside, has More »

10 Musical Acts You Associate With Marijuana

Posted Fri Aug 1, 2008 5:29pm PDT
Is it any surprise that a tour bus with Snoop Dogg would yield a few marijuana tokers? It's happened before. While the drug is still illegal in the United States, it has a long history of support in the musical community and there are many musicians More »

The 25 Best Rock Documentaries

Posted Thu Jul 31, 2008 5:02pm PDT
Ironically, the best music documentaries, much like the best music books, often render the music beside the point anyhow. The director's skill, the quality of the available clips, the complexity of the characters at hand, the story that unfolds decid More »
