It’s hard to think of a more quintessentially summertime subgenre than ’80s hard rock. Colloquially known as glam metal (or, more derisively, the dreaded “hair metal”), these songs celebrate life’s simple-but-universal pleasures: soaking up the sun, throwing a blowout party and congregating around the nearest radio to blast your favorite tunes. The ’80s are long gone, but these sentiments are eternal — and that’s why you need The 20 Best ’80s Hard Rock Summer Songs on your next playlist. 20. Motley Crue, “Kickstart My Heart” The connection between getting a shot of adrenaline to the heart afte...

When the Rolling Stones consider their set list, some tough decisions have to be made. Of their 400-plus songs, only a handful will make the cut. As the Stones make their way across North America on their Hackney Diamonds Tour, they’ve been sticking to a pretty consistent set of 18-19 songs, though there have been a few curveballs and tour debuts thrown in. For one thing, there’s new material to be played from the band’s 2023 album Hackney Diamonds. There’s also the Stones’ regular strategy of allowing their audiences one fan-voted song.

Supposedly all the best movies of any given year come out from September to December; the better to campaign for the end-of-year awards that are voted on around that time. In practice, that is simply not true. Tons of great movies come out every year from January to June, even if those films do tend to get overlooked by some critics and awards voters. Hopefully lists like this one will counteract some of that end-of-year bias; it contains 15 really good 2024 movies from the first half of 2024. A few of these movies will probably get some attention come November and December. (I have a feeling ...

If you’ve ever fallen in love with a country star and his or her music, it could be because they were born the same year as you. As fans, we naturally gravitate to the songs and storytellers that tell our story. For example, Luke Combs is pushing all the right buttons in 2024 for anyone who is new to fatherhood. The hard-partying college crowd might not relate — they’re too young. Taste of Country researched 85 years of country music to pick the top two to five country stars born every year. The youngest turns 18 years old this year, while the oldest turned 85 in January 2024. Related: See the...

As a great man once wrote: It was the best of times it was the worst of times. I’ve already shared my list of the best films of 2024 so far, so you know what that means. It’s time for the worst of times. Oh goodie. Watching bad movies comes with this job — and truth be told, I see way more good movies than bad ones. And I have always said I’d still rather be seeing a bad movie than doing almost anything else. It beats working for a living. For some of the ten films that follow, though, I actually might be willing to consider doing something else. A couple of these movies are very bad. I’d even...

Here are Metallica‘s five best country songs. The pairing of country and Metallica might not be as far-fetched as it initially seems. Fans don’t have to look too far to see the admiration many of the biggest country artists have for the thrash legends. When The Metallica Blacklist compilation came out in 2021, several stars like Chris Stapleton, Darius Rucker, Jon Pardi and Jason Isbell all shared their takes on ‘Black Album’ classics. Metallica themselves have shown an appreciation for country music over the years, too, in particular frontman James Hetfield. He has shared stories of his frien...

Although Kiss released only three albums during the ’90s, it was quite an eventful time for the group. At the start of the decade, the group found themselves in a mirror version of their dilemma in the early ’80s. In 1982, after squandering nearly all of their career momentum with questionable trend-chasing albums, they released the masterful Creatures of the Night, which didn’t get nearly the attention it deserved. Chastened but determined, Kiss took off their trademark facepaint and clawed their way back to platinum sales and sold-out arenas with a string of successful ’80s albums. Although ...

Here are the six best Dream Theater songs under six minutes! As the godfathers of modern progressive metal, Dream Theater are often praised – or chastised – for prioritizing extremely complex playing and lengthy compositions. Granted, they’re among the best at it, but that also means that it’s sometimes easy to disregard their skills as efficient and evocative songwriters. Honestly, Dream Theater have crafted dozens of great songs that emphasize irresistible melodies, moving lyricism, understated instrumentation and easily digestible durations. They may have some quirky or flashy “prog” moment...
