HT faves Rush were just one of the acts inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last night, but thanks to a raucous crowd filled with fans of the Canadian trio the event came to a head when they finally received the well-deserved accolade. Other acts inducted into the Rock Hall included Heart, Public Enemy, Randy Newman and Albert King. Members of the Foo Fighters took the stage at the Nokia Theatre in L.A. dressed as the members of Rush in the late '70s [...]

I could sit here and write paragraphs about my appreciation of Geddy Lee. He was the first true influence I had as a bass player when I was in high school. For years after, I admired not just his...

To celebrate Heart's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, 1001Songs asked guitarist Roger Fisher to talk about four of the band's best known songs: "Crazy On You","Magic Man", "Barracuda" and "Mistral Wind". Tonight Roger and the other original members of Heart will join Ann and Nancy Wilson onstage for the first time in more than 30 years to perform "Crazy On You" so let's start with that one. Crazy On You ( from Dreamboat Annie, 1976) --a US#35 hit [...]

For several years in the mid -70's, Heart, a band that got its start in a Bellevue Washington basement, ruled rock and roll radio. Fans came to hear hits like "Barracuda", "Crazy On You" and "Magic Man" and to see two women--sisters--rock out. In the middle of the crowd--riding the sound board--band manager Mike Fisher felt like he was watching a dream come true. Mike Fisher and Ann Wilson [...]

Rush, as much as any rock band, represents the eternal present tense: they adapted and evolved in real time, reflecting the issues, sounds and styles of their day. First things first. Just because Rush is finally getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, it doesn't mean that institution is not still problematic for reasons too numerous-and obvious-to require elaboration (Hint: Look who's not in. Now look at who is in. Draw some conclusions). Put another way, it's not necessarily the bands, like Rush, that have thus far been denied so much as so many of the [...]

Dave Grohl hizo el documental 'Sound City' para honrar la consola 'Neve' y su pasado musical Dave Grohl no se cansa de honrar sus raíces musicales, y en esta ocasión, acompañado por Taylor Hawkins , el músico participará en la ceremonia de inducción al Salón de la Fama del Rock and Roll . Los dos miembros de Foo Fighters serán los encargados de inducir a Rush al Salón de la Fama , y según  Joel Peresman (organizador del evento), es muy probable que ambos músicos [...]

Brittany Howard must have to pinch herself from time to time to make sure that she's not dreaming. The Alabama Shakes have been on quite the hot streak of late - making their SNL debut, earning three Grammy nominations and they have a monster summer tour lined up. Next up for Howard will be her first release on Jack White's Third Man Records label, which sees the Shakes front woman teaming up with Ruby Amanfu (White's duet partner on Love Interruption from his solo album), for a very cool sounding Blue Series Single  that will be released [...]

Mick Jagger Keith Richard Charlie Watts Ronnie Wood The Stones 50 Years of Music In a Nusthell The longest performing rock band of all time, the Rolling Stones have greatly influenced rock and roll throughout the decades. Beginning as part of the British Rock Invasion of the 1960s, the Rolling Stones quickly became the “bad-boy” band with an image of sex, drugs, and wild behavior. Yet there’s another side to it, [...]

Earlier today the trailer for a new movie called Inside Llewyn Davis came out.

Does Yes' apparent inability to earn induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame have something to do with how many members have passed through its lineup over the years? Stalwart Chris Squire thinks that just might be it. Squire, the only original member to have appeared in the prog-rock group's many incarnations, says he doesn't pretend to understand [...]

Before I became enamored of rock stars, rock journalists, punk rockers, metal mavens, or DJs, the first idols in my life were Houston Astros players, namely Craig Biggio, Jeff Bagwell and the late...

1. The Breeders - Cannonball Not only did NME think this was the best song of 1993, they considered it the 22nd best indie anthem ever. Oddly, Pitchfork considers it the 22nd best track of the 90s. From this we can extrapolate that it is also the 22nd best polka tune and number 22 of your 100 Best Hymns. It also is comprised of two little ducks. So robust a song, it survived being used in the trailer for Dude, Where's My Car. You can go and look at the outfit Kim [...]

Fans still have something to look forward to, however, as work on a long-awaited studio effort continues. The band's 19th album, as yet unnamed, will include new 13 tracks and [...]

As hip hop grows ever longer in the tooth, the overall picture of what it meant in its infancy -- and still means -- becomes more clear. Some of it, like the rock, punk, funk and country before ...
