While the music industry has its fair share of megastars, sometimes people go under the radar. Not everyone is as showy as Elvis, as rowdy As David Lee Roth, or as tragic as Kurt Cobain. Occasionally, there is just a shining talent with a penchant for writing great music. In my opinion, that’s exactly what …
Back in the 60s, something very interesting was happening not only with the music world but the world as a whole. At the center of this changing world was a rock revolution that would see the somewhat safe acts of the 50s be thrown to the wayside for what would be called the British Invasion. …

Only a few artists have such an impact as Sir Roderick David Stewart. Decades of music. Decades of influence. If you are not a fan of Rod Stewart yet, you should be. Continually reinventing himself, he’s been a mod, a rocker, a soul-pop master. He’s worked with many music greats. Today, he’s still standing, touring, …
For years now, there has been only one band I can think of that has their concerts referred to as one name. That name, of course, is Dave. Throughout my college years, I’d have friends asking if I was going to Dave that night or if Dave was coming to play near our school soon. …

Very rarely can you point to something and say the greatest all-time and not be called over exaggerating. That’s what makes Michael Jackson such a unique artist in the music world. He was unequivocally the greatest pop star in music history. He was a figure that was simply larger than life in so many ways, …
The term greatest of all time is one that we tend to throw around often when talking about music. The greatest rock star of all time, the greatest singer of all time, the greatest dancer of all time, etc. When it comes to Bob Dylan in particular, I can’t think of any artist who actually …
Groundbreaking is one of the hardest things to do in the music world. Because music has been around since people existed, it’s pretty much impossible to come up with something that truly hasn’t been done before. What artists try to do is take something that’s been done and add a spin that’s personal to it, …
Tom Petty, to me, is one of the most underrated musicians in the history of music. This guy just slid under the radar and doled out hit after hit for multiple decades, and yet when people talk about the greatest rock bands of all time, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers is not one that’s usually …
