About


On Throwback Thursday, we take a look back at the how science, society, and culture has changed over the years. This week, it's time to face the music as we play back some of the best (and worst) tunes, artists, and bands to ever hit the airwaves.

That Old Time Rock 'n' Roll (and More)
Where would music be today without the stars, legends, and divas who paved the way? Or without these 10 classic rock love songs or the top Motown hits of all time or the best bluegrass artists this side of Appalachia? We're turning up the volume on some of our favorite musical genres and can't-miss jams from yesteryear.

Unforgettable Live Performances
Long before that darn Miley started twerkin' on stage, there were plenty of live performances and concerts that shaped music history ― in a good way. Check out this list of the 10 best Grammy Award performances of all time.

How Do You Listen to Music?
From the phonograph to vinyl records to cassette tapes to iPods (and everything in between), we sure have come a long way when it comes to how we listen to our favorite songs. Nowadays, we can stream music online from practically any artist in any genre of any decade, but it's fun to hit rewind and have a good chuckle about the way things were. Like, who even invented the radio anyway?

'90s Rock Nostalgia
Sure, the 1990s weren't that long ago, but the babies born at the beginning of that decade are now of legal drinking age. Feeling old yet? Us too, so we say its music certainly qualifies as a throwback. Luckily we have Melissa Bobbitt, About.com's brand new Guide to '90s Rock, to share all those music memories. So whip out your grundgy flannel shirt and Doc Martens and let's remember why the '90s totally rocked.
