    While musicians can be sued if they plagiarize lyrics or melodies, song titles are pretty much fair game, resulting in a ton of songs with the same name. I’ve decided to stack up some of the best songs that share titles and see which is better. These might seem like arbitrary comparisons based on a coincidence, but so are “Best of the Year” lists, and those are cool.

    Musicians love doing their own interpretations of songs written by other people, but sometimes they make the unusual choice of recording new versions of their own songs.

  • Alex Chilton 'Electricity By Candlelight' Features Johnny Cash and Beach Boys Acoustic Covers During Power Outage

    In our experience, some of the best live performances come when those onstage are out of their comfort zones, or exposed to conditions outside of the norm. Consider Johnny Cash's "Live at San Quentin" or Nirvana's "MTV Unplugged" acoustic set. Alex Chilton, best known for his time in Memphis power pop band Big Star, also performed an excellent acoustic album, but unlike Nirvana, his was unscheduled. That show is now available on the recording "Electricity by Candlelight."
