OK, so I'm gonna list what I consider to be the greatest rock guitar riffs of all time. Now remember, this is MY list... and some of you wont agree; but that's how it goes. I looked for more than just the riff alone; I looked for things like the ability of the guitarist, the licks, the overall blend of the riff with the song, and you'll also notice that I drifted away from most of the other lists

Being what some would call a youngster, I was practically weened on 80's music. It was my time, my generation. My childhood wasn't bad, but due to having divorced parents, both working all the time, and being the youngest of three, I spent a lot of time alone during the week. Music and TV was what I enjoyed the most; specifically music. I was fascinated with it and found myself straining to hear

Originally formed in 1977 in Sheffield, England by Philip Oakey, The Human League became one of the essential icons of the 80's New Wave scene. Their music has stood the test of time and has been wildly influential for many artists, including Robbie Williams, Ministry of Sound, Madonna and Moby. They released their first single, Being Bolied, in 1978. Because "Being Boiled" was unique and oddly

Music is sometimes like magic: It can mark certain times in certain eras. It can heal a wounded heart or soul. It can change one's feelings with the very first note. It can mellow or heighten your mood. I can't imagine a world without great music.OK, so I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but true oldies fans never get tired of expressing their opinions and feelings. So tell me; What is

Little did the Rolling Stones know how apt their name - inspired by the title of a Muddy Waters song, “Rollin’ Stone” - would turn out to be. Formed in 1962, they are the longest-lived continuously active group in rock and roll history. They are also, according to a slogan that is supported by critical and popular consensus, “the World’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band.” Throughout four decades of

If you think about Rock N Roll in it's early stages, the "developing years", if you will, then no single artist was more important and more influential than Chuck Berry. Everyone knows that Elvis is referred to as the "King of Rock N Roll", but the truth is that, as great as Elvis was, the real true "King of Rock" is Chuck Berry. As Rock and Roll Hall of Fame stated, "While no individual can be

Everyone remember The Box Tops? I'm sure we all do, especially when you think of great songs like "The Letter", "Soul Deep" and "Cry Like A Baby". The Box Tops was a very talented group of guys from Memphis. Formed officially as The Box Tops in 1967, the band featured Danny Smythe on drums, John Evans on guitar and keyboards, Bill Cunningham on bass and keyboards, Gary Talley on lead guitar,

In 1965 Jim Morrison, Ray Manzarek, John Densmore and Robby Krieger formed one of the most advanced, unpredictable and controversial bands of all time: The Doors. The Doors were led by the highly charismatic Jim Morrison. Jim was widely known for his unorthodox stage manner and brilliant vocal skills. He was also the lead songwriter for the band. Morrison, also noted for his scandalous and

OK, so here's the first question: In your opinion, what's the best guitar solo of all time?Sure, this has been asked over and over... but I think everyone has a different view on what "great" means to them. There's also other factors that come into the equation, like hearing that awesome song with the awesome solo at a certian time in your life. Maybe there's certain songs that give you that
