    Though most musicians tend to evolve musically over the course of their careers, they usually stick to the same genre they started off in. But these seven, great artists — from Pink Floyd to the Beastie Boys — actually started off playing totally different styles of music early in their careers from the ones they eventually became known for.
  • 6 Bands Who Originally Formed Without Their Lead Songwriter: Oasis, The Replacements, And More

    If there's one member of a band who writes all of the music, it would be fair to assume that forming the band was their idea, and that they were a founding member. However, the lead songwriters in these six bands weren't even members when the bands originally formed.
  • 7 Album Covers With Musicians Who Aren't On The Album: The Beatles, The Smiths, And More

    Putting yourself on your own album cover is a pretty simple concept: if people see you on the cover, they'll assume you're the person singing on the album. However, these seven artists included musicians on their album covers that didn't appear in the album at all.
  • 7 Live Albums Made Up Entirely Of New Songs: Neil Young, Frank Zappa, And More

    A typical live album serves as a greatest hits album of sorts, compiling live performances of an artist's best-known songs.

  • 7 Albums Released Without The Artist's Permission: Bob Dylan, Radiohead, And More

    In a perfect world, an artist would have complete control over how their music is released and sold.

Here are seven albums released without the artist's permission.
  • Species Named after Famous Musicians: Mick Jagger, Beyoncé, Bono, Jim Morrison and Many More

    Mick Jagger had the honor (or something like it), as Music Times reporter Carolyn Menyes wrote earlier this week, of having an extinct species of pig named after him.

  • 6 Artists Who Debuted With Double Albums: Chicago, Frank Zappa, And More

    Double albums are often seen as exercises in self-indulgence, so the only time an artist can usually get away with releasing one is well into their career, such as the Beatles' "White Album" or Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti. However, there have been some artists who where so confident in themselves that they chose to release double albums right off the bat. Here are six artists who debuted with double albums.
  • 13 Albums That End With Their Title Track: Bruce Springsteen, Sinead O'Connor, And More

    An album's title track is inevitably given more weight than the album's other songs, because it's natural to assume that the one song the entire album s named after must be something special. However, these artists chose to place even more weight on these particular songs by choosing to close out the entire album with them.
  • 14 Albums That End With Their Longest Song: Bruce Springsteen, Weezer, And More

    Long songs can be tricky for an artist to deal with. They can't really be released as singles, but they also run the risk of ruining the flow of an otherwise great album. These artists got around this problem by placing their extremely long songs at the end of their album.
