Few albums can be called perfect, but many other classic LPs fall just short of that status. Maybe it’s an out-of-place experimental track or a throwaway song given to the drummer to sing – whatever the case, a single moment can nearly derail a near-flawless record. In the below list of 25 Songs That Almost Ruined Classic Albums, the key word to keep in mind is “almost.” Each album included is great from start to finish; they probably wouldn’t be called classics if they weren’t. But we’re not ashamed to admit that once in a while we’ll skip a song if the mood hits. The list is also limited to ...

Subscribe to Taste of Country on Youtube Honesty is what makes the best Eric Church songs stand out from others on the radio. The “Springsteen” singer only sings what he knows, but as he’s grown and matured, that has become a long list. Often this means his music is packed full of raw, unedited emotion — just how his fans like it. Other times he’s fully produced, leaning heavy into the fringes of country music and beyond as he tells his stories of love, loss, disappointment, regret and rage. Songs on this list of the best Eric Church songs find him occasionally nostalgic. In recent years he’s ...

How much progress had Van Halen made on their seventh studio album before parting ways with David Lee Roth in 1985, and how much of that work made its way onto 5150, the band’s first album with singer Sammy Hagar? Naturally, it depends who you ask. Nobody disputes that the band’s original lineup had begun writing some songs for the follow-up to 1984’s smash hit 1984 before personality conflicts and a dispute over Roth’s 1985 covers EP Crazy From the Heat led to the singer’s departure. The band recruited Hagar, fresh off his own platinum sales success with VOA and the hit single “I Can’t Drive ...

There are a lot of aspects about rock ‘n’ roll music that are up for interpretation. Lyrics — as in the actual words a songwriter put to page and copyrighted — are not one of them. Even if a songwriter sings something different in concert, it’s the recorded version — the one that gets played on radio stations and turntables all around the world — that fans typically latch onto and learn the lyrics from. No musician is safe from the phenomenon known as misheard lyrics. Sometimes it’s a matter of poor enunciation, other times it boils down to simply hearing it a particular way and not being able...

If you ask either of the Gallagher brothers about their songwriting, chances are they won’t give a long-winded explanation. “I know I’m not the greatest lyricist ever, but I’m not the worst,” Liam told GQ in 2019. “I find it hard to say what I really fuckin’ mean.” Then there’s his older brother Noel, the chief songwriter of Oasis during their time together and one of the most prolific writers of the Britpop era. “Two things can happen: with an easy one, you tend to think, ‘Oh, it can’t be that good — it was much too easy.’ There’s no way it can be good,” he told Music Radar in 2011. “And then...

Oasis became famous not only for their hits — one of them so ubiquitous and beloved by novice guitarists that it earned the catchphrase “Anyway, here’s ‘Wonderwall'” — but also for their highly publicized disputes and, well, rock ‘n’ roll lifestyles. Even those who know little about Oasis know that brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher don’t have an easy relationship with one another. But of course, there is much more to the Britpop band than those things: Namely, an entire catalog of effective songs that draws heavy influence from the well of British rock musicians of previous decades while also s...
