10 Classic Rock Songs Inspired by Cinema and Literature (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Art begets art – so it is no surprise that many of the greatest rock stars were deeply inspired by novels and films. Oftentimes, musicians use the popular storytelling of the page and the big screen to connect with their audience and capitalize on a shared experience, adding a level of intimacy to their work. Conversely, assuming the voice of a fictional character (as some of these musicians do) can allow for a degree of separation when exploring more difficult subject matter through their music
This Beautiful '90s Album Was Elevated By a Rock and Roll Legend (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The ‘90s was a decade of immense musical innovation – genres like grunge and pop-punk were flourishing. A grittier, messier sound was emerging in reaction to the smoke and mirrors of the glam rock that had the 1970s and '80s in an unrelenting choke hold. The lens was shifting.

Sex, drugs, rock and roll. You get the picture. The concept of a rock star goes far beyond music. While this stereotype does not necessarily describe all rock musicians, it is fair to say that there are many who align with the cliché. Destroying hotel rooms is not just roc
This 1979 Album Made Tom Petty Declare Bankruptcy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is no clear-cut top album by Tom Petty – there are multiple records that could be considered his best work, depending on what you’re into. Petty had a very prolific career – he released music solo, with the Heartbreakers, and with the star-studded supergroup the Traveling Wilburys. His body of work consistently features thoughtful songwriting and emotion-infused raspy vocals. Full Moon Fever, a solo album released in 1989, includes many of Petty’s biggest hits: “Free Fallin’,” “I Won’t Bac
