• 8 Oasis No. 1 UK Hits: 'Don't Look Back In Anger,' 'The Hindu Times,' 'Lyla' and More

    Oasis, the most essentially-British band of the last 30 years (by both their own reckoning and ours), finally topped the charts in the Gallagher brothers' beloved UK 20 years ago today, with the single "Some Might Say," the first song off of the band's beloved album (What's The Story) Morning Glory? The band ended up topping the UK singles charts seven more times throughout its career (and only getting as high as no. 8 on the U.S. charts). Here are those no. 1 singles...be prepared for a few surprises (in terms of what didn't make it, if anything).
  • Led Zepplin's No. 1 Albums Ranked by Weeks on Billboard 200: 'Houses of The Holy,' 'Physical Graffiti' and More

    Led Zeppelin released its excellent album 'Physical Graffiti' 40 years ago today, an album that climbed to no. 1 for six weeks, which would be the band's fourth no. 1 on the Billboard 200.

  • Noel Gallagher: Oasis Reunion Would Only Happen for the Money Because 'We're Not as Good as We Used to Be'

    Noel Gallagher laid it all out on the line recently with regard to an Oasis reunion. He said that if the band ever got back together, it would strictly be because the money was too good to turn down. His rant in Q magazine cited acts like Led Zeppelin and The Smiths that he believes don't reunite because they aren't as good as they use to be.

  • Led Zeppelin Share Rough Mix of "Houses Of The Holy" From Upcoming 'Physical Graffiti' Reissue [LISTEN]

    Next month, Led Zeppelin will be releasing the remastered edition of their classic 1975 album, 'Physical Graffiti,' with a bonus disc of alternate mixes, and today the rough mix of one of the album's standout tracks "Houses of the Holy" has been shared, which you can check out below. Even if you're not an audiophile, the differences between this version and the original are quite obvious — the bass is more prominent, the drums are looser, Robert Plant's vocals (particularly the backing vocals) are pushed up in the mix, and there are less guitar overdubs. It's a fascinating listen for diehard Zeppelin fans, but you probably won't prefer this to the album version.
