• Ranking PMRC's 'Filthy 15': Madonna, Prince and More Get Dirty

    Tipper Gore and a group of other (socially) conservative and influential women gathered 30 years ago to organize the PMRC (or Parents Music Research Center) after listening to the travesty that was Prince's "Darling Nikki." That organization has become the face of the censorship movement in the United States, ruining good album artwork and antagonizing Eminem, Marilyn Manson, Frank Zappa and others for three decades now. When it formed, the group issued a list titled the "Filthy 15," listing tracks that it considered especially repulsive. Music Times is ranking those first 15 songs in terms of potential for wrecking lives.

  • Mumford & Sons Top Billboard 200, 'Fifty Shades' Gets Mother's Day Boost

    Mumford & Sons remains a rock band to beat on the Billboard 200, gathering its second no. 1 record with Wilder Mind.

  • Justin Bieber Plays Drums On The 'Late Late Show' With Reggie Watts' House Band [WATCH]

    Justin Bieber has slowing been distancing himself from his days of mischief and douchebaggery.

Since then, he's told multiple news outlets that he is changing for the better and associating with better people. Now he's getting the world focused on his skills as a musician.
