Journey has always maintained a rugged tour schedule, extensively touring even when there wasn’t a new studio album to promote. Yet, oddly enough, this history of road work has not always been well-documented. For instance, there’s only one official live recording to chronicle the time on the road supporting their first six studio LPs. Another one wouldn’t arrive for decades. Without much of a backlog of albums to survey, a comprehensive countdown of Journey live projects simply has to take in their concert films, as well. That makes room for Journey 2001, the only live release from Steve Auge...

When you have six decades’ worth of music, inevitably, some songs are just not going to make the set list very often. With over two dozen albums to their name, equating to some 400 plus songs, the Rolling Stones have plenty of options to choose from, but the reality is that some numbers have only been performed a handful of times over the years. Some, in fact, haven’t been performed ever. When attending a Rolling Stones concert, it’s safe to assume you’ll hear some tried-and-true classics — things like “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” “Start Me Up” — but there’s always a ...

Everybody loves power ballads, whether or not they admit it. There’s just something about a rock band slowing things down and cranking up the emotion. For generations, the force of power ballads has been on full display. These songs have launched careers and inspired fans across the globe to raise their lighters (and later, cell phones) into the air. No era embraced power ballads more than the ’80s, a time period when ridiculousness was at an all-time high. Journey, Heart and Bon Jovi were among the acts leading the charge, but power ballads came from unexpected sources as well, like Ozzy Osbo...

If, as an artist, you play your cards right, making a memorable music video can help take a song from unassuming to ultimate hit. There are a lot of ways to do this, one of them being the inclusion of a famous face. Featuring a celebrity, often an actor or model, is an awfully effective way to get listeners to make note of a song — sometimes it’s what people remember seeing more than what they remember hearing. In the below list, we’ve compiled 50 examples of celebrity cameos in music videos. In some cases, the person is almost instantly recognizable, but in other instances, the celebrity in q...

Few albums can be called perfect, but many other classic LPs fall just short of that status. Maybe it’s an out-of-place experimental track or a throwaway song given to the drummer to sing – whatever the case, a single moment can nearly derail a near-flawless record. In the below list of 25 Songs That Almost Ruined Classic Albums, the key word to keep in mind is “almost.” Each album included is great from start to finish; they probably wouldn’t be called classics if they weren’t. But we’re not ashamed to admit that once in a while we’ll skip a song if the mood hits. The list is also limited to ...

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...

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...
