  • NME Names Best Albums of Decade: Arctic Monkeys and 'AM' Take Top Spot; Jay Z and Kanye West Earn Best Track with "N----s in Paris"

    While the rest of us music publications were running around compiling our albums-of-the-year lists, NME was going above the crowd and releasing its albums-of-the-decade list (not to say they didn't do an albums-of-the-year list as well). The Arctic Monkeys took top prize for the last four years with its 2013 release AM. The British publication may have given home field advantage to the Monkeys for albums but its pick for track of the decade thus far went to a very American act singing about another region in Europe: "Niggas in Paris" by Jay Z and Kanye West took that prize.

  • John Lennon or Paul McCartney? Metallica, Arctic Monkeys, Fall Out Boy and More Choose in Mini Documentary [WATCH]

    On paper, it's a simple question -- John Lennon or Paul McCartney? For "Lennon or McCartney: A Beatles Documentary," Scared Goose Productions compiled answers from actors and musicians and it's actually much more complex. Aaron Bruno of AWOLNATION may have put it best when he said, "Well, that's like saying, 'Who do you like more, your mom or your dad?'" The video is jam-packed with celebrities and members of Metallica, Arctic Monkeys and Fall Out Boy, and they all weigh in on the question.

  • 10 Best Cover Songs Of 2014

    Because cover songs don't garner nearly as much traction on the radio or the charts as they once did, artists these days treat them more like fun little experiments, where they can try out things they normally wouldn't on one of their albums or original singles. This has resulted in plenty of inventive and fascinating covers, especially this past year. Here are the year's 10 best cover songs (in no particular order).

  • The Gaslight Anthem Shares "1,000 Years" Music Video [WATCH]

    New Jersey punk band, The Gaslight Anthem, havs shared the music video for their song "1,000 Years" off of their latest album, 'Get Hurt,' which you can check out here. The video captures the band live in concert at Minneapolis' legendary First Avenue music club (you know, the one where Purple Rain took place) and features plenty of close-up shots of their enraptured audience. It's nothing remarkable, but it fits in well with the band's unflashy, grounded aesthetic.
