Did you ever have that one friend, the kid from the neighborhood that everyone knew was trouble except for you? Did your parents ever straight-up tell you that your pal wasn't allowed over at the house anymore? You weren't the only one. Music, usually specified by genres, has been kicked out many a house over the years. Check out the list below to find out how and (sometimes illogically, why) music has gotten the axe at these historic venues. -
4 Songs (from Eminem to 'Amazing Grace') Celebrating St. Valentine's Real Ability: Bringing Sight to Blind
Valentine's Day is a thing because no one knows what the real St. Valentine actually did. In fact, there are at least three St. Valentines. The best we can figure is that he channeled God and healed a girl's blindness once. Which is awesome. Music Times explores the theme in a less typical Valentine's Day playlist. -
Rihanna, Alicia Keys and Pitbull: Ranking Previous NBA All Star Game Halftime Shows Before Ariana Grande's Gig
This year's NBA All Star Game Halftime Show will feature Ariana Grande (and presumably guests) providing entertainment to the fans at Madison Square Garden. Just like the Super Bowl's big showcase, the NBA's version of events has been hit-or-miss throughout its history. Music Times takes a look at the last five NBA All Star Game halftime shows—from Rihanna, Pit Bull, Alicia Keys and more—and ranks them, while hoping that this year's will live up to the best. -
Ukraine and 5 Other (Band) Situations Bound to Fall Apart: The Wu-Tang Clan, The Libertines and Everything Scott Weiland
Good news out of Eastern Europe today, as a group of the continent's leaders announced that a ceasefire had been reached between the government of Ukraine and the rebellious faction in the southeast of the country. You can probably hedge bets that shots will be fired soon enough however. After all, the last time the parties arrived at a ceasefire (September of 2014), it had collapsed by the end of the year. Other things that won't be surprising when they collapse: The reunions of these beloved bands. -
Jackie Robinson West Has Regional Championship Revoked: Awards Lost in Music, from Miley Cyus, Milli Vanilli and More
The Little League world took a turn for the sadder yesterday when it was announced that Jackie Robinson West, a team of youth baseball players from the South Side of Chicago, would have its 2014 Great Lakes Regional title revoked. In other words, the coach and other scheming adults incorporated children into a super-team. The players weren't aware what was going on but now they'll suffer the most disappointment, as will their hometown. The revocation of awards is more rare in the entertainment industry than the athletic industry. There are just only so many ways you can cheat. Nonetheless, it's happened. Here are five cases of an award or nomination being revoked in music. -
5 Active Underground Hip-Hop Supergroups That AREN'T Run The Jewels: Hail Mary Mallon, Deltron 3030 and More
The Run The Jewels craze has gotten out of hand. The gun-and-fist logo is showing up everywhere, from Instagram to the cover of Howard The Duck comics. Seriously though: Supergroups among underground hip-hop groups aren't a new thing. Run The Jewels just happens to be the one that has gotten everyone's attention at every magazine. Deservedly so. But we advise you check out some other off-the-wall acts in existence (or hopefully still in existence) that are well worth your time. -
30 Years of 'Like A Virgin': Off Kilter Covers from Weird Al Yankovic, Sister Cristina Scuccia and More
Madonna and "Like A Virgin," the single from her album of the same name, topped the charts for the first time on February 9, 1985. The song has inspired many covers that have been essentially exact reprints of the original, but it's also inspired many distinct reboots as well that Madonna may nit have seen coming. We've collected five of the latter for your consideration. -
Cher and Television: The Pop Star Outside of Variety Shows, Including Spots on 'Scooby-Doo,' 'Will & Grace' and More

Grammys 2015 Best Music Video Nominees, Who Should & Who Will Win
The Best Music Video category for this year's Grammys features an array of talent and some striking visual clips. These aren't necessarily the best songs of the year, or even the most well-known. These tunes stand out merely because a director was able to pair the melody with meaningful images. No, "Anaconda" did not make the cut. Neither did "Booty." Instead we have videos from Arcade Fire, Sia and Pharrell Williams that concentrate on shots above the belt. -
