Joe writes: I just spent a long flight listening to Bob Dylan and reading Rolling Stone's Special Collectors Edition of 40 years of Dylan interviews. They also asked a panel of Dylan experts to create a list of his 100 greatest songs. The top ten is here . Like A Rolling Stone is no. 1 - fair enough. A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall is a rather surprising no. 2. As well as being one of my favourite albums of all-time, Blood On The Tracks is surely the best Dylan album from beginning to end, and nine [...]
The damage that the '80s can do to a band. The post History's Greatest Monsters: The Rolling Stones - Dirty Work appeared first on Treble: Music news, reviews, interviews and more .

The Rolling Stones cumplieron 50 años en 2012 Al parecer a Mick Jagger y Keith Richards no les fueron suficientes las presentaciones que tuvieron el año pasado en el Estados Unidos con motivo de la celebración de sus 50 años, este año emprenderán una gira en estadios y arenas. Según reportó Rolling Stone , AEG Live serán los promotores de esta gira que dejará en los bolsillos de los Stones entre 4 y 5 millones de dolares por show, por lo que los boletos más caros oscilaran los 500 [...]

We've run it before , and we'll run it again...as long as it keeps popping up online. Watch it while you can.
Even though Cocksucker Blues, Robert Frank's legendary film of the Rolling Stones circa 1972, is routinely referred to as a "documentary," that's not quite accurate. Frank himself tips his hand right in the opening moments: "Except for the musical numbers the events depicted in this are fictitious. No representation of actual persons and events is [...]

Although I seriously doubt that I'll ever be 100 percent down with the idea of Internet memes launching hit singles, and I can't begin to understand the appeal of the ones behind Baauer's "Harlem Shake," I have less against the song than a cynical pop fan like me probably should. I wonder, though, if now that Billboard is factoring YouTube views into its chart-compiling criteria (a move made just in time for "Harlem Shake" to debut at No. 1), can crazy fans with a lot of excess time on their hands and a decent Internet [...]
The song that started it all. An unaccompanied Muddy Waters plugs in, plays the blues, and the rest is history. This one song was the namesake for the biggest rock band in the world, a little rock magazine you may have heard of, and one of the greatest songs ever written. All in a day's work. The post "Rolling Stone" - Muddy Waters (1948) appeared first on Merchants of Rock .

I received a message from Stuarto requesting I cover his show in the late afternoon hours of Friday, March 8. After a minute or two to think about it, I agreed. In all the times I've covered for his show over the past year and a half, I have never done a show that gives a nod to his show, which often features more mainstream music including a handful of tunes from the 60s and 70s. For March 8, I decided this needed to change. I pieced together quite the show for the first two [...]

El cantante y compositor estadounidense se presentará el próximo 19 de marzo en el Royal Albert Hall de Londres con un show que integra la serie de recitales a beneficio de la organización Teenage Cancer Trust curados por Noel Gallagher . Según el sitio web del Royal Albert Hall, este será un concierto muy especial en el que Adams presentará nuevas canciones pertenecientes a su próximo álbum, aún sin título, y que saldrá a la venta [...]

I do have a soft spot for good old rock 'n roll sung in Skånska (southern Swedish dialect), and that is exactly what Skånska Maffian offers with their latest release, the single "Kom in och hälsa på". The song is a cover of Dan Tillbergs Swedish interpretation from 1979 (from the album "Gatstenar", translation by Mats Zetterberg) of Rolling Stones "Get Off of My Cloud", so you may recognize the song. Otherwise Skånska Maffian, with the singer, guitarist and songwriter Miko Walldén in the front, mostly play their own songs, which you can listen to on their debut [...]
It's not too often that a collision between two very musically diverse artists comes to fruition. However, for AM & Shawn Lee, their collaboration sprouted from an idiosyncratic shared passion: both were fans of vintage French and Italian Soundtrack music as well as digital effects from the '80s. The duo's ...

Within a week of its release, Morgan Heritage 's "Perfect Love Song" hit number #1 on the iTunes Japan Reggae chart. from left to right: Gramps, Una, Mojo, Lukes, Peetah Although no artists like to be compared to another, Reggae's royalty Morgan Heritage have been referred to as the " Rolling Stones " of Reggae music. Their longevity, their sold out arenas and festivals, and their worldwide chart topping music make them a contender for the music hall of fame. Murmurs of critics who have [...]

One of the advantages of paying so much attention to the Scottish Alternative Music Awards over the last few weeks has been the discovery of The Holy Ghosts who were nominated for Best Newcomer and which they duly won at last Friday's Awards ceremony in Garage Glasgow . They're [...]

They don't get any more legendary than this. From 1964, The T.A.M.I. Show ! Standing for Teenage Music International, this one-off musical variety show set the bar very high for everything that followed, and has never quite been matched. Get a load of this line up: Jan and Dean (Here They Come) from All Over the World Chuck Berry Johnny B. Goode Maybellene [...]
Rolling Stone , wising to the increasing demand for purer house sounds, is giving away the final track off Maceo Plex' s impending DJ-Kicks compilation - out in full on April 30. By the looks of the tracklist , Maceo has worked hard to curate a grouping of sounds like none other (including no tracks previously released on digital - almost just to prove he can). In his brief chat with Rolling Stone, he explains this song was written in three hours on while traveling between Manchester and London on New Year's Day and the inspiration [...]

Since English rock deities The Rolling Stones recently and officially celebrated their 50th anniversary last year, we figured there would be no better time than the present to compile a list of 20 of our favorite songs. Working on this list was daunting, as these guys are absolute legends and have been turning out material for the last, well, 50 years. As we sifted through their extensive back catalogs, we tried not to be predictable. The following tracks were carefully handpicked, each one reflecting what we think to be the rawest embodiment [...]

Youth Lagoon's debut album The Year of Hibernation was a gorgeous piece of work highlighted by the epic " Montana ," a quiet dirge-like song that propelled the album to numerous critical accolades and top ten lists. It was a daring piece of work, with singer, songwriter, and one-man band Trevor Powers opening up about mental illness amidst a stream of quiet minimalism. Its follow-up, Wondrous Bughouse , is a nice try at an expansion of his sound. But, it falls into a trap of extending so far beyond [...]
