Music

For a long time, rock and heavy metal music scenes have predominantly showcased male artists. However, exceptional female vocalists have made a substantial impact in these genres too. Despite the industry being historically biased towards men, numerous women have brought distinctive and powerful voices to the limelight within rock and metal. Unfortunately, they don’t always get the recognition they truly deserve for their contributions.

There will be groans here, for sure. Messing with someone’s favorite music? That is ridiculous.

Anticipation for a fresh David Gilmour album is always high, with fans and music experts eagerly waiting to listen to it. Previous hints from Gilmour suggest that this long-awaited album will soon be out. As the esteemed guitarist shares intriguing insights about his upcoming release, excitement among listeners is definitely growing.

We’ve been curious about the music people enjoy while they work, so now let me ask: What kind of music does your father prefer? In a recent study by Merchoid, an attempt was made to determine which band embodies “dad rock” in today’s era. After questioning 3,000 Americans, the data unveiled some unexpected and perhaps uncomfortable truths (a similar survey was conducted in the UK regarding perceptions of “dad rock”).

Have you ever found yourself repeatedly debating a particular topic with acquaintances, loved ones, or even strangers? Recently, I came across an online list categorizing the “most influential” athletes across all sports. Predictably, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, and Wayne Gretzky were on it. However, it failed to include Edwin Moses and Aleksandr Karelin, two individuals I believe should be in the top ten. To me, this oversight calls into question the credibility of the list. If you’re curious, take a moment to look them up, but I assure you they deserve recognition for their exceptional athletic prowess. This argument is perhaps the one I have engaged in most frequently throughout my life.

In case you missed it: Legendary rock band R.E.M. made a surprising comeback, reuniting at the Songwriters Hall of Fame induction ceremony in New York City on June 13. Contrary to what Mike Mills of the band told CBS Mornings, that a comet would be needed for R.E.M. to get back together, it seems that the ‘comet’ has indeed appeared, and so has R.E.M.

In August 1994, the comedy “Airheads,” directed by Michael Lehmann (known for “Heathers”), made its theater debut. Despite receiving negative critical and commercial reception initially, this film has since gained a devoted following among metal music enthusiasts globally, earning the status of a cult classic.

Have you ever imagined Morrissey as a hip-hop artist? If so, congratulations, you might be unique in that thought. However, it’s true! The renowned singer from The Smiths is set to feature in a new track alongside some famous rap legends. (Rest assured, this isn’t a jest.)

Many songs, even well-known ones, might not immediately impress you upon first listening. However, as you listen to them repeatedly, their beauty and unique aspects become more apparent. This is wonderful because it means listeners have the opportunity to uncover new elements with each playback.

In my day, watching TV was a completely different experience. Before VHS, DVDs, or streaming services, we were stuck in front of the television, enduring commercial breaks between scheduled programs. That’s right; we didn’t have the luxury to pick and choose what we watched. We had to consult the TV Guide to find out when our favorite shows would be on and on which channel they would air.
