You can come upon whole swaths of nü-metal. If you wished to own everything ever released by Korn and/or Limp Bizkit, you could easily find it used. You also see what phases people went though in college as Dave Matthews Band, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd... »»
Rock week was fun on The Lambert Show, er... I mean, American Idol. As I expected, Adam stole the show from the beginning with a sexually playful and charged version of "Whole Lotta Love"... »»
The only way that Corgan was going to achieve what he wanted with these residencies was to keep in mind that for every two people who just wanted to hear the old hits, there were a few young (or old) fans who still cared, and play the hell out of the new songs for them and them only. ... »»

Where was the Partridge family's payday? Reuben wasn't even embezzling the family's musical fortune judging from his normal car and dumpy apartment. The Partridge Family: The Complete Third Season reveals that the musical act would have done better if Allen Klein had represented them. »»
In their '70s heyday, Jethro Tull took acid-damaged hippie-folk-rock and scored an arena-size stage show with it that was sheerly Dadaist in execution. I heard tell of band members in gorilla suits and scuba gear, and other assorted zaniness that read like Alice Cooper on an Andy Kaufman bender. ... »»
