There are a lot of aspects about rock ‘n’ roll music that are up for interpretation. Lyrics — as in the actual words a songwriter put to page and copyrighted — are not one of them. Even if a songwriter sings something different in concert, it’s the recorded version — the one that gets played on radio stations and turntables all around the world — that fans typically latch onto and learn the lyrics from. No musician is safe from the phenomenon known as misheard lyrics. Sometimes it’s a matter of poor enunciation, other times it boils down to simply hearing it a particular way and not being able...

Which is the better Linkin Park album – Hybrid Theory or Meteora? That’s the head-to-head battle that we’re examining in this week’s Chuck’s Fight Club on the Loudwire Nights radio show. With Linkin Park’s history very much under the microscope these days thanks to their recently released singles compilation, Papercuts, Loudwire Nights host Chuck Armstrong has decided to dig into the band’s two biggest albums and get a consensus from the listeners as to which is better. Hybrid Theory changed the game upon its 2000 arrival, with songs such as “One Step Closer,” “Crawling,” “Papercut” and “In th...

If you ask either of the Gallagher brothers about their songwriting, chances are they won’t give a long-winded explanation. “I know I’m not the greatest lyricist ever, but I’m not the worst,” Liam told GQ in 2019. “I find it hard to say what I really fuckin’ mean.” Then there’s his older brother Noel, the chief songwriter of Oasis during their time together and one of the most prolific writers of the Britpop era. “Two things can happen: with an easy one, you tend to think, ‘Oh, it can’t be that good — it was much too easy.’ There’s no way it can be good,” he told Music Radar in 2011. “And then...

Oasis became famous not only for their hits — one of them so ubiquitous and beloved by novice guitarists that it earned the catchphrase “Anyway, here’s ‘Wonderwall'” — but also for their highly publicized disputes and, well, rock ‘n’ roll lifestyles. Even those who know little about Oasis know that brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher don’t have an easy relationship with one another. But of course, there is much more to the Britpop band than those things: Namely, an entire catalog of effective songs that draws heavy influence from the well of British rock musicians of previous decades while also s...

Harrison Ford‘s former estate in a very exclusive part of Los Angeles is currently for sale, and whoever buys it will end up owning a piece of movie history. According to the Robb Report, the cinema legend, who currently stars as Jacob Dutton in the Yellowstone prequel 1923, purchased the 6-bedroom, 7-bathroom, 7,164-square-foot estate in the ultra-exclusive Brentwood area of Los Angeles for a million dollars in 1983, just after the release of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. Ford worked as a carpenter before he found success as an actor, and he reportedly designed and installed some of the orna...

The old saying goes “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” That is especially true in the world of movies. There isn’t a film out there that everyone universally loves or everyone universally hates. There are people who think The Godfather is overrated and people who think Gigli is a misunderstood classic. Cinematic beauty is always in the eyes of the beholder. For proof of that, check out the 30 films below. They are all personal favorites of mine that, according to the wider general consensus, were flops, bombs, and stinkers. Not to me! If you ask me, all of these titles deserve a seco...

The only thing harder than starting a hot streak is maintaining one. Rock history is filled with artists who failed to improve upon or even match the promise of a particularly successful album. Of course, rock’s true legends have proven themselves to be capable of repeatedly surpassing themselves, sharpening and refining their skills while conquering exciting new creative territory. We asked seven UCR writers to pick the best four-album streaks in rock history, and here’s what they chose: The Who: Tommy (1969), Who’s Next (1971), Quadrophenia (1973), The Who by Numbers (1975) It’s almost shock...

Subscribe to Taste of Country on Youtube You don’t need to go back 20 years to find a time when talking about weed was taboo in proper country music circles. Really, you don’t even need to go back five years! “Sun Daze” was a 2014 hit for Florida Georgia Line, and it surely made this list of 11 songs that helped normalize pot smoking. Medical or recreational marijuana has been legalized in many U.S. states (or soon will be), and there’s not as much outrage over it today as there was before. Did country music help? This list of songs serves as Exhibit A that … maybe? Of course Willie Nelson mak...
