'Cryogen,' with its winding riff from Matt Bellamy and its propulsive drumming from Dominic Howard, immediately recalls Muse's older sound from the early aughts; the riff almost feels like an alternate version of 'Plug-In Baby.'
A MARTINEZ, HOST: As we finish this year, let's listen to some of the musicians we lost in 2025. Sam Moore was half the R&B powerhouse Sam & Dave. He sang on smashes such as "Hold On, I'm Comin'," "I Thank You" and this one. (SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "SOUL MAN") SAM AND DAVE: (Singing) I'm a soul man. I'm a soul man. MICHEL MARTIN, HOST: We also lost the guitarist on that song, Steve Cropper. He defined the sound of Memphis soul with the Stax Records House Band. He appeared on hits by Otis Redding, Booker T. & The M.G.'s and Wilson Pickett.
"We've been talking for years now about getting as many of the covers we've done for specific territories together and releasing them for all to hear. It's finally happening," says The Dandy Warhols' Zia McCabe of the group's new all-cover album. With a nod to Bowie (who they don't cover), it's titled PIN UPS, and will be out March 20 via Beat The World/Little Cloud Records.
2. SZA, "Lana"The only dishonest thing about "Lana," which arrived just before Christmas last year as 15 new songs slipped under the wrapping of 2022's "SOS," is that SZA says it's not an album. 3.

A woman lives in a garden surrounded by high rock walls. Moss and lichen grow like the hair and skin of something ancient over the cobblestone. Everything in the garden is old, and even new things are aged by the air inside of it. No one can come in, nor can she get out. She sees a figure passing outside between the cracks in the wall and wonders who they are,
The 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony returns to Los Angeles on Nov. 8 with honorees that include hard rockers Bad Company, pop-rock singer-songwriter Cyndi Lauper, and hip-hop duo Outkast among the artists who will join the hall this year. The 40th annual induction ceremony at the Peacock Theater will also honor The Twist popularizer Chubby Checker, British blues-rock singer Joe Cocker, Seattle grunge band Soundgarden, and the indie rock duo The White Stripes in the performer category this year.
Their third album packs more of the trademark hybrid of rock, metal, punk and hip-hop that elbowed them to the front of a still male-dominated genre, but pushes at their boundaries and tiptoes towards pop. Nova Twins: Parasites & Butterflies. Working with Foo Fighters/Charli xcx producer Rich Costey and a supporting cast including former Nine Inch Nails drummer Ilan Rubin and (via their first use of sampling) Iranian singer Mahsa Vahdat, the sound is bigger and more blatantly anthemic.
Not all the politicking on Gung Ho landed right Stange Messengers is unbearably clumsy but Glitter in Their Eyes' plea for a younger generation not to get hooked on materialism is impressively punchy and potent, abetted by the presence on guitar of her old sparring partner, Television's Tom Verlaine. Like its predecessor, Gone Again, Peace and Noise was an album awash with loss and mourning.
"It is with deep regret and sadness that we share the news of Patrick Walden's death," wrote Babyshambles members Pete Doherty, Mick Whitnall, Drew McConnell, and Adam Ficek.
