  • Pharrell Williams' 'Happy' Another Marvin Gaye Ripoff? His Family Thinks So...Another Lawsuit on The Way?

    Pharrell Williams referred to the Marvin Gaye estate as greedy many months ago when referring to the family's lawsuit against himself and Robin Thicke over the similarities between their hit "Blurred Lines" and the soul icon's "Got To Give It Up."

  • The Who's Roger Daltrey Says There's No 'Anger' in Modern Music: Singer Slams Record Business

    Every so often, one of music's elder statesmen will chime in about how different things are nowadays -- remember when Gene Simmons pronounced rock 'n' roll dead? Roger Daltrey of The Who has been vocal about what is missing from today's music scene. Last year, the frontman said there were no movements happening in music. He offered more comments recently, saying that bands today lack anger in their material. "There's not enough anger out there in the music," he told 'The Standard.' "And there's not a lot of contemplation in the lyrics, it's all very sweet ... but that's the iPhone generation." The singer took aim at the music business as well, saying that it has been "stolen" by big business.
