The Grammys are commonly touted as “Music’s Biggest Night.” The event has hardly ever been perfect, but without much realistic competition, the claim tends to hold up. Artists of the highest caliber show up to accept their awards and perform, and newcomers often view their involvement as a right of passage or a promotion to the elite. Winning…
It’s Grammy time again! This Sunday, music’s biggest names will once again gather to commemorate the past year of music and battle it out for top honors. With Beyoncé (of course) leading the pack with an outstanding 9 nominations spanning several genres and categories, it’s to be seen if this will be her year, or if…
The Super Bowl Half Time show is, no doubt, the most coveted performance in music every year. Following a overly prolonged streak of safe (rather, nipple-free) headliners (see McCartney, see Petty, see Springsteen, etc.) the powers that be have re-established a more contemporary, pop-oriented presence…even after a rocky start in the form of the Black…
Congratulations to the the 2017 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees: Joan Baez, Electric Light Orchestra, Journey, Pearl Jam, Tupac Shakur, and Yes. Predictable? Mostly (See Here,) but welcomed additions nonetheless! If you need a way to celebrate all of the legendary, iconic, controversial, and confusing acts prominently adorning rock’s mantle, here’s your one…
With 2016 almost in the books, the time has come to recognize the year’s greatest tracks! From pop stars solidifying their legacy to newcomers making their presence known, this year has been one of the most exciting of the decade. Without further adu, here are the 100 Best Songs of 2016! 100. “Can’t Stop The Feeling!”…
Several years ago, HUH posted a playlist in celebration of the one and only Prince. There was no motive or reason… it just felt right. Prince, then, subsequently ended his relationship with streaming services (sans Tidal,) and away went the playlist. Following his death last year, and the recent re-emergence of his presence on Spotify,…
Compiling year-end lists is hardly a definitive thing considering songs don’t always find their prominence in the same year of their release. In order to give recognition to the songs that would have made the cut for 2015 had they been released a little sooner or for 2016 had they been released a little later,…
The 2017 Rock and Roll Hall of Nominees are out! [See The Rundown Here] With a little time to let the ballot sink in, as always, it’s impossible not to take notice of the names continuously left out. This year, The Hall of Fame is taking some serious steps to fix some egregious errors and plug…
I think this year I have to caption this article “A.K.A. Why Does The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Hate Chic So Much?” For better or worse, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame really never ceases to amaze with their beguiling-if-not-perplexing list of nominees put up for induction. It’s a wonder that they…
Michael Jackson is the undisputed King of Pop. His songs, his clothing, his performances, his dancing… it’s all iconic. However, quite possibly his most innovative territory was the music video, which he revolutionized more profoundly than any other artist. In honor of his birthday, let’s take all of his videos (or short films, as he…
In a general sense, Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation 1814 is one of those records everyone should know cover-to-cover, and I don’t feel like that’s unreasonable. When it comes to the coexistence of pop, R&B, and hip-hop, there are very few records that rival this one (I’d say at least 3 of the ones that do are…
