But her toughness was no act — when the Runaways broke up, she recorded a solo album with her backing band, the Blackhearts, and got rejected by 23 labels, making the chart-topping success of "I Love Rock 'N Roll" that much sweeter. Spare as a schoolyard chant, stalwart producer Kenny Laguna created a perfect back-and-forth between crisp handclaps and dirty chords. And in the middle of it all, Jett's husky force of a voice — victory in every word.

The reddish sandstone rocks in the park were formed from 140-million-year-old desert dunes impacted by erosion, weather and other "geological forces," according to the NPS. Park rangers at Lake Mead National Recreation Area just outside Las Vegas are asking for the public's help identify two people caught on video vandalizing natural rock formations earlier this month.

Sofia Insider City Guide: Things to do in Sofia, Bulgaria

On Abattoir Blues/Lyre of Orpheus, his 13th album with the Bad Seeds, we meet a new Nick — Cave 2.0 you could say — married, sober, and harnessing the power of gospel without ever abandoning his punk soul. "There She Goes, My Beautiful World" presents him in black-suited power-preacher mode, backed by a band on fire, raging holy poetry and name-dropping Larkin, Nabokov, and Thunders in what might be the greatest (only?) rock song written about writer's block. Joan Jett & the Blackhearts own this song with every ounce of their being. With vinyl-black hair and Gibson-sculpted arms, Jett doesn't just love rock, she is rock.

The 250 Greatest Guitarists of All Time

Metamorphic processes can also occur at the Earth’s surface due to meteorite impact events and pyrometamorphism taking place near burning coal seams ignited by lightning strikes. Folk rock is a hybrid musical style of rock music and folk music that emerged in the United States and Britain in the mid-1960s. Folk musicians, led by Bob Dylan, went electric, amplified their instruments, and sharpened their beat.

& Rakim, Sade, Jane’s Addiction, Lenny Kravitz, Oasis and Sinéad O’Connor, who died last year. Cher, Osbourne, Foreigner, Frampton and Kool & the Gang are receiving the honor after appearing on the ballot for the first time. Osbourne is being inducted to the Rock Hall for a second time; he was inducted as a member of Black Sabbath in 2006. To fully appreciate the radical nature of a monster like ZZ Top's "La Grange" — a heavy, swinging, 10-truck-blues-rock-pileup — keep in mind it was released in 1973, when the top radio hit was by Tony Orlando and Dawn. Billy Gibbons (guitar), Frank Beard (drums), and Dusty Hill (bass) mixed modern rock with boogie blues, topping the whole enchilada with some of the crunchiest, funkiest, most ridiculously fire guitar work ev-er.

He was a major player in the British blues scene of the 1960s and became a popular broadcaster as well; he died in 1984 at age 55. With John Mayall also being selected by the committee for the same honor, it’s an unexpected banner year for British blues-rockers. Fellow Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Lionel Richie and Ryan Seacrest announced the inductees on Sunday during American Idol. The icons will officially be anointed as rock ‘n’ roll royalty on Oct. 19, when the 39th annual induction ceremony takes place at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, Ohio. Ronnie Spector (née Bennett) was an 18-year-old singer from Spanish Harlem with an achingly emotional tough-girl voice (and perfectly winged eyeliner) when she recorded "Be My Baby" with producer Phil Spector, her eventual husband.

An image provided by the National Park Service shows two men who were caught on video earlier this month toppling rock formations near the Redstone Dunes Trail. If you're looking for music cruise ship packages that will have you rockin' on the high seas, this list will serve as your guide to which rock cruise to select for your next vacation. Classic rock cruises are the most widespread, but if you like metal, then there's a metal cruise - and the same goes for indie rock, jam bands, etc. - most genres of rock have dedicated music cruise packages. To be eligible for the Rock Hall, an artist or band must have released its first commercial recording at least 25 years prior to the nomination year.

You may occasionally receive promotional content from the Los Angeles Times. The latest crop of stars will officially join the pantheon in a ceremony on Oct. 19 at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, where the hall’s affiliated museum is also located. Mary J. Blige and Ozzy Osbourne were also voted in, but Sinead O’Connor, who died last year at 56, did not make the cut. Four of the eight nominees — Cher, Foreigner, Frampton and Kool & the Gang — were on the ballot for the first time.

"A Day in the Life" ( — The Beatles

Cut to a Bikini Kill show, led by the powerhouse Kathleen Hanna — roaring "Girls up front!" and "Revolution girl style now!" — "Rebel Girl" is the band's OG ode to grrrl power, driven by crunchy guitars and a relentless beat. Of the three recordings, we like the '98 version best, with Jett's chords beefing up the mix, but the constant is Hanna's jackpot voice, capturing teen girlhood like no other (only Poly Styrene compares). Her Valley girl howl will stop you in your tracks, proclaiming friendship, revolution, and, yeah, lust. So, without further ado, read on to see our list of the 25 best rock songs of all time. There had been a starry push to get Foreigner — with the hits “Urgent” and “Hot Blooded” — into the hall, with Mark Ronson, Jack Black, Slash, Dave Grohl and Paul McCartney all publicly backing the move.

The 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony will take place Oct. 19 in Cleveland and stream on Disney+. "With the lights out, it's less dangerous/Here we are now, entertain us." Kurt Cobain famously hated being famous. Emerging from the flannel-shirted Pacific Northwest punk/grunge scene, the success of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (platinum seller, widely praised by critics) seemed to surprise him.

What else sounded like Topper Headon's drum crunch as Joe Strummer and Mick Jones followed on their guitars? By the time the bass swoops in, "London Calling" has set into motion a rain-soaked, three-minute film, presented by Strummer, a master storyteller. Clash songs are solid state instruments — low budget, low flourish, muscular — and this one's no different. Guitars provide brief, jagged slashes of color, but the spotlight stays trained on Strummer and his end-times tale. It seems almost impossible to believe that this song, the sound of teen lust pressed into vinyl, was released in 1964, when Joey Ramone was 13 and the words punk rock wouldn't be uttered for another seven years.

The 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will air as a special on ABC at a later date and will be available on Hulu the day after the live ceremony. Dave Matthews Band, Foreigner, Peter Frampton and Kool & the Gang will also be inducted at the Oct. 19 ceremony, which will air live on Disney+. "Voodoo Child" represents Jimi Hendrix as Zeus, hurling Strat-shaped thunderbolts down to earth. Or Hendrix as a fire-breathing rock monster, Godzilla in tie-dye, or simply Guitar God, telling tales about his life, like...standing next to mountains, chopping them down with his hand, making islands with the pieces, you know, stuff like that. The wild thing is that the guitar work on this track is so incendiary he earns those bragging rights — and then some. In the '90s punk scene, mosh pits were macho and feminism was a dirty word.
