  • 5 Great Alt-Rock Songs About Real Crimes: Nirvana, At The Drive-In, and more

  • 8 Great Songs With Fake-Out Endings: The Beatles, Depeche Mode, and more

  • 5 Lead Singles That Misrepresent Their Albums: The Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, and more

    Choosing an album's lead single can be tricky. It should be a great song (but not the album's best) that accurately represents the sound of the album as a whole.

  • 6 Great Albums Named After Their Worst Song: The Smiths, Bob Dylan, And More

    When an album is named after a particular track, there's an unspoken expectation that this track will be somehow exceptional, and one of the album's best. However, these six albums were named after songs that ended being their weakest.
  • 8 Songs That Were Last Minute Additions To Classic Albums: Prince, Bruce Springsteen, and more

    There's no way of knowing how many classic songs we'll never get to hear. Maybe the writers don't think they're good enough to release, or maybe they never received the right publicity. These eight songs came very close to never being heard, and were only included on their albums at the last minute.
  • 6 Albums Released Shortly After The Band Split: The Beatles, Nirvana, And More

    Though it takes just months (and sometimes weeks) to release an album after it's been recorded, that's plenty of time for a band to completely implode. Here are six albums that were released shortly after the band split up.
  • 7 Alt-Rock Songs About The Artist's Hometown: Interpol, Blur, And More

  • 8 Classic Alt-Rock Albums and Their Original Titles: Green Day, Blur, and More

Here are eight classic alternative rock albums that weren't released under their original names.
  • 5 Artists Who Recorded the Same Album Twice: The Smiths, Brian Wilson, And More

  • 5 Musicians Who Nearly Joined Other Bands: Kurt Cobain, Elton John, And More

    Rock history is littered with millions of "what if" scenarios. What if Jimi Hendrix was still alive? What if Jimmy Page had actually started that band with Keith Moon? Here are five more "what if" scenarios: five musicians who nearly joined other bands.
  • 7 Artists Who Could Have Been Sued for Plagiarism (But Weren't): The Smiths, Nirvana, and More
