Buckingham Nicks

Buckingham Nicks Finally Reissued After 52 Years

When Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks walked into Sound City Studios in 1973, they couldn’t have known their debut album together would become one of rock’s most enduring cult records. Buckingham Nicks, the only release under their joint name, quietly arrived in September of that year, sold poorly, and disappeared almost as quickly. Yet the record became the unlikely gateway to one of the greatest success stories in rock history-Fleetwood Mac’s mid-1970s rebirth.

Motion City Soundtrack Step Back Into the Spotlight With The Same Old Wasted Wonderful World

When Motion City Soundtrack first appeared at the turn of the millennium, they were the unlikely bridge between Midwest punk energy and geeky lyrical introspection. Fast-forward nearly three decades, and the Minneapolis quintet are back with The Same Old Wasted Wonderful World, their first album since 2015’s Panic Stations. For a band that once declared “Don’t Call It a Comeback” on their debut I Am The Movie, the phrase feels especially fitting as they re-emerge with their sharpest set of songs in years.

John Lennon’s Clock: A Forgotten Film Experiment Resurfaces in Power To The People Box Set

When the John Lennon Estate announced the release of the Power To The People deluxe box set, much of the attention naturally went to the remastered tracks, rare recordings, and newly unearthed video content. But among the archival treasures is something far less conventional—a quirky, avant-garde experiment called Clock. Filmed by John Lennon in 1971 during the creation of Imagine, Clock is as much a window into Lennon’s restless creativity as it is a document of the day-to-day rhythm of his life with Yoko Ono.

Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here Turns 50: A Timeless Tribute to Absence and Artistry

by Paul Cashmere

Fifty years ago, on September 12, 1975, Pink Floyd released Wish You Were Here, their ninth studio album and the follow-up to the phenomenon that was The Dark Side of the Moon. Few bands in rock history have faced the challenge Pink Floyd did in the mid-1970s: how do you follow up one of the most successful, best-selling and artistically defining albums of all time? Against that backdrop, Wish You Were Here emerged not only as a worthy successor but as one of the group’s most enduring works.

On This Day in Music History – September 12

September 12 stands as a milestone in music history, celebrated for legendary releases and the passing of iconic artists. Globally, it’s the day The Beatles soared to No. 1 with “She Loves You,” Creedence Clearwater Revival dominated album charts with Cosmo’s Factory, and Pink Floyd unveiled the classic Wish You Were Here. Journey and Lauryn Hill also secured major chart triumphs, while the world mourned the loss of Johnny Cash. In Australia, the date carries its own weight with multiple number one singles and the birthdays of two significant artists.
