• Albums Sequels That Worked: Led Zeppelin, Lil Wayne, Future and More

    The average blockbuster is hardly an original concept...everybody knows that the big money lies in sequels, such as the newly announced follow-up to Jurassic World, or the seventh installment of the Fast & Furious series. Granted, most of the time these films rarely end up being better than the original franchise. Although Furious 7 bucks the trend (the films actually got progressively better thanks to more and more absurd stunts and car chases), many questioned the need for the reintroduction to the Jurassic Park universe, especially after the last two sequels fell flat with critics (then again...all three of the follow-ups to the classic original have been box office smashes...so we're all to blame). Albums often work the same way, but occasionally the later chapters outshine the originals, or at least match them. Here are six albums that were better than the preceding ones with similar titles.

  • Did Guns N' Roses Steal 'Sweet Child O' Mine' from Australian Crawl?

    Suggestions of plagiarism have skyrocketed in the lawsuit era, as Marvin Gaye's estate successfully sued Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams, and Sam Smith has willingly given Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne a cut of the songwriting credit for "Stay With Me" when the song was compared to their "I Won't Back Down." Now an Australian band is going way back in pointing out the similarities between one of its songs and the Guns N' Roses classic "Sweet Child O' Mine."
