Top 10 Songs by Public Image Ltd
October 25, 2025
Public Image Ltd was a piece of abstract art, whereas Sex Pistols, singer John Lydon’s previous band, was a nasty caricature drawn on a bathroom wall. Few bands have had more of an influence on the post-punk movement than Public Image Ltd, and calling them one of the…
How the La’s Nearly Missed Out on Releasing One of the Greatest Debut Albums of All-Time
October 23, 2025
Sex Pistols. Jeff Buckley. And, The La’s. The list is not endless. In fact, it’s very short. There aren’t many legendary bands that release only one album, yet get their names printed in the history books. But, I suppose, it was all for the best. How could anyone…
Top 10 Songs by MGMT
October 22, 2025
MGMT earned its legend early on by being a band that could absolutely score a hit when it wanted to, but deciding that, nah, it didn’t actually need to. Through this approach, with and plenty of interesting, poppy, yet challenging music, MGMT must already be counted as…

October 16, 2025
Franz Ferdinand was, in many ways, as much an art project as it was a sham, much like Malcolm McLaren turning The Sex Pistols into superstars. But with the band now firmly, and comedically embracing middle age, it’s a fine time for me to recognise them as one of the…
Harvey Danger was the alternative to brutish alternative rock, guys too smart to be in a band during the 1990s, who somehow produced some of the best music of the era. Yet, “Flagpole Sitta” became one of the most famous alternative rock songs of the ’90s…

For a man notorious for following his own muse wherever this may take him, Neil Young has been a part of at least two legendary bands. The lesser-discussed, and arguably better, of the two is Buffalo Springfield.
Buffalo Springfield sounded good, looked cool, and…
The Song Story and Meaning of the Lyrics of "Where the Wild Roses Grow" by Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue
October 8, 2025
By the early 1990s, Nick Cave and the always wild and professional backing group, The Bad Seeds, were darlings of the rock underground, and Kylie Minogue was one of the world’s biggest pop stars. “Where the Wild Roses Grow” achieved the near-impossible and…
“Even Flow” put Pearl Jam on the international map and was immediately greeted as a modern classic upon its release. But this was no overnight success story. While “Even Flow” is most certainly one of the most famous alternative rock songs of the…
Alice in Chains was one of the more capable hard-rocking bands of the early 1990s. But it wasn’t until vulnerability was allowed into the songs that Alice in Chains created its masterpiece, the album “Dirt.” The single “Rooster” is one of the most celebrated…
