#21-#30 , #31-#40 , and 41-50 can be found by clicking on the links, silly! 20) “Nuthin’ But a G Thang” Dr. Dre (featuring Snoop Doggy Dogg) (1992) Snoop Dogg was first introduced to the world by Dr. Dre via the “Deep Cover” single from the film and soundtrack of the same name, but this song and video was a re-introduction that assured no one would forget his name. The video takes us through a day in the life of Dre and Snoop […]

Blerd Briefs Extra: Classic (and Not So Classic) Albums Get the Reissue Treatment!
If you’ve been following the “Flashback ’91” posts over at Popdose , then you are well aware that a lot of classic albums reach their 20th anniversary this year. 1991 was a watershed moment for pop music-the year alternative fucked up the mainstream and killed the hair-band era, the year hardcore hip-hop stopped being urban America’s secret, and the year U2 and R.E.M. went from being great bands to being legendary bands. Bono and the boys are jumping onto the reissue […]
Chart Stalker: 1992 Flashback Edition
There’s not much going on as far as this week’s Billboard charts. People apparently ran away from record stores in droves following Easter weekend, and last week’s sales totals are pretty low. Thank goodness for Adele, who scans another 124,000 copies of 21 to land at #1 yet again. Without that number, the chart would look very dismal indeed. The Foo Fighters stand at #2 with a dismal 34,000 copies sold, and the three debuts in the Top Twenty (Explosions […]
Chart Stalker 4/21/11: Grohl’s Revenge
Dave Grohl, for me, has always been one of the most likeable guys in rock. There are no “Grohl is a tool” stories (that I’m aware of)-he looks and acts like a fairly normal guy, and I think he holds the same appeal for most other music fans. Which is why I, like so many other music fans, am extremely psyched that the Foo Fighters score their first #1 album EVER with Wasting Light‘s entry this week. 16 years after […]
Foos Won’t Be “Wasting” Your Time on New Album
I have not liked a Foo Fighters single since “All My Life” was released from One By One in 2002. Not surprising, One By One was also the last Foos record I liked all the way through. Until now, that is. I could tell you how I think In Your Honor should’ve been one album and that Echoes… is a throwaway but why waste all that time and energy on negativity? In theory, Wasting Light should be amazing. It’s produced […]
The Viewfinder: Foo Fighters “Rope”
There are some bands that make variations of the same album year after year, but they’ve perfected that signature sound so much that it’s practically a science. Foo Fighters are one of those bands. Although they’ll never be listed on that same iconic list as leader Dave Grohl’s former band, they’ve put together a notable streak of hit singles and albums (and have lasted three times as long). The Foos have been pretty busy setting up the release of their […]
Foo Fighters bring the Rawk! (And Lemmy)
I love waking up to news that bands I knew were working on new material I was excited about not only have a set release date, but a new video to boot. Hi Foo Fighters, I’ve missed you. If you’re a fan of Foo Fighters and you’ve been living under a rock for the past 6 months, then you have a lot to be excited for . Their 7th studio album is done and ready to be unleashed on April 12th. It was produced by Butch […]

“Michael” is the first release of unreleased material from Michael Jackson since his passing. It turns out to be a halfway decent compilation.
Dave Grohl Gets Pissed at Jake Shears’ Balls
I’m still wiping tears from my eyes after seeing this. Comic genius, courtesy of the always-game Dave Grohl and the Scissor Sisters. Seriously? 75 million for seeing one (I’m assuming) of Jake Shears’ testicles? Considering how many times I’d imagine he’s seen the various nutsacs of the various Foo Fighters and members of Nirvana (’cause seriously, something tells me that Pat Smear and Kurt Cobain exposed themselves fairly often), I’d say this would be no big deal. Then again, I […]
Chartstalker 3/26/10: All Good Things…
In an industry starved for good news, the fact that at least one album had sold over 100,000 copies in every week of 2010 was a ray of sunshine. However, this week, the streak comes to an end. Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Now” tops the Billboard album chart with 93,000 copies. Granted, that total is pretty solid for an album that is now in it’s eighth chart week-but still, it’s not six figures. Thankfully, there will be at least three […]
