6 Bands That Continued After Their Songwriter Left
It's not uncommon for a band to shift personnel every once in a while, but one thing a band rarely survives is the loss of the primary songwriter.

7 Album Covers That Don't Match the Music
A good album cover should compliment the music inside, and a lot of covers do this very well.

Here are seven album covers that don’t match the album’s music. -
7 Songs Written About Ex-Bandmates
Being in a band can be stressful work. Sometimes this can lead to vicious disputes between bandmates or untimely departures from the band, and because these are musicians we're talking about, songs are inevitably written about these tensions.

Seven Albums Hated by the People Who Made Them
Musicians have a very unusual relationship with the songs they write. Just like an actor doesn't sit around watching his or her own movies all day (hopefully), a musician doesn't listen to their own albums very often, for various reasons.

Here are seven albums aren't very well liked by the people who made them. -

There’s plenty of dark and depressing music out there (and I listen to a bunch of it), but finding a song that’s dark and terrifying is very rare.

8 Bands That Should Be On Classic Rock Radio
Classic rock radio is, by its own design, a very stagnant radio format. While a lot of excellent songs are played, there’s never going to be new “classic rock” band to come along and shake things up. What these radio stations could do, though, is dig a little deeper and give some of these artists a spin. -
The Flaming Lips Try Its Hand at Pink Floyd Again
It's not much of a secret that the Flaming Lips are huge fans of Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of The Moon: The band did its own version of the classic record during 2009, resulting in Flaming Lips and Stardeath and White Dwarfs with Henry Rollins and Peaches Doing The Dark Side of The Moon.
