By keyboardist Oliver Wakeman’s own admission, being the son of Yes’s legendary keyboardist, Rick Wakeman, doesn’t hurt. Famous bloodline aside, though, Oliver has set forth on his own journey, releasing a ton of outstanding solo work and, like his dad, holding down duties with Yes from 2008 to 2011. Yes aside, Oliver Wakeman has been a member of Strawbs and has collaborated with boatloads of fantastic artists over the years. But most recently, he’s been at it as a solo artist again, with his latest record, Adam Cara, due in May 2024. Be it as a solo artist or in The post An Interview With Oli ..read more

Few artists possess the fortitude to follow their passions like Leslie Mandoki does. From an early age, Mandoki fell in love with music across the board and coupled that passion with an ambitious vision to succeed outside of his homeland of Hungary. After escaping his communist-ruled homeland, Mandoki found himself a refugee with no money, instruments, or a place to call home. But he soon became embroiled in the ’70s American disco scene as a member of Dschinghis Khan, though it never scratched his deepest musical itches. Still, for two years, Mandoki toiled away as a pop artist, raking in The ..read more

Our 25 Most Distinctive Opening Harmonica Solos In Rock Music presents a list of songs fueled by excellent opening harmonica riffs. This is not a list of the best harmonica solos in rock but rather a list of opening harmonica solos that occur before the vocals.

East Coast native Marc Ribler is about as good as it gets when it comes to guitar-based, good-time rock ‘n’ roll.

The first thing you’ll say to yourself when you read the names just inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is, “are you kidding me?” Peter Frampton is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

Additionally, a few The post Frampton, Foreigner, Ozzy, & Dave Matthe ..read more

Some bands are challenging to create a top 10 songs list for. Blood, Sweat & Tears is one of those bands. The band’s second album could quickly fill this entire Top 10 Blood Sweat & Tears songs list.

Sandy was a very popular name in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. It has since lost its popularity in the past few decades when many parents named their daughters Britney, Amanda, Ashley, and so on. Every decade brings a new set of popular names, usually based on the popularity of a TV show or an adored famous personality.
