The opening riff of “White Wedding” is instantly recognizable—a skittering, syncopated guitar line quickly swallowed by pummeling drums. But the song itself is a bit of an enigma. Is it rock? Pop? New wave? Rockabilly punk? Like much of Billy Idol's career, the song exists somewhere in between. Idol was a shape-shifter, blurring genre lines in pursuit of bigger hooks, bigger audiences and, eventually, pop stardom.Raised near London and running with the Sex Pistols' inner circle, Idol arrived with genuine punk bona fides. But with the rise of MTV and the explosion of new wave, he refashioned himself as the bleach-blond, leather-clad rock crooner who sneered his way to the top of the charts.Join Chris Molanphy as he traces the rise, reinvention and Rock Hall canonization of an original MTV icon.Get more Hit Parade with Slate Plus!

Episode 2319 - The episode kicks off with a heavy dose of nostalgia—MTV, HBO intros, and the golden era when you had to actually work for your entertainment. That quickly turns into a deeper reflection on why everyone's looking backward lately, with politics, cost of living, and digital overload pushing people toward simpler times. From there, things take a turn into modern weirdness: AI-generated personalities, fake influencers, and the growing sense that nothing online can be trusted. Kid dives headfirst into arguing with AI platforms about data collection and memory limitations, basically trying to break the system out of spite. Meanwhile, the crew bounces between absurd headlines—government helicopters in concert promos, brewery owners getting federal attention for promotions, and the general feeling that reality itself is being staged like bad theater. The middle stretch goes full GDS: a ridiculous breakdown of "how to keep a man happy," debates about sexuality, aging, and porn culture, and a surprisingly thoughtful comparison between old-school MTV eroticism and today's anything-goes internet content. They wrap with rapid-fire topics: controversial music videos, Rock Hall debates, Tinder war stories, and a philosophical argument about why baseball requires more brainpower than soccer—all tied together with a running theme of "everything's changed, but somehow it's also exactly the same."

It's easy and honestly fun to complain about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Every year, they announce a class of inductees and music fans rise up in anger asking “how is so and so not in yet” or “how did this person get in before that person.” Or, my favorite, “what? That person isn't even rock and roll.” We all do it. Hell, we've done entire episodes on how the Rock Hall screwed up.  But the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has announced the inductees for the class of 2026 and they pretty much got it right this year.  Phil Collins finally getting kudos for his solo career, Billy Idol with that punk-pop sneer, Iron Maiden crashing the metal gates, Joy Division/New Order, Oasis bringing the Britpop attitude, the smooth sounds of Sade, R&B king Luther Vandross, and Wu-Tang Clan changing the game. They rounded it out with Early Influence nods, Musical Excellence awards, and even Ed Sullivan for bringing rock into living rooms. Look, it's not the purest guitar-rock kickass class ever inducted, but it actually reflects how music evolved and shaped culture.

Send us Fan MailThe Rock and Roll Hall of Fame always finds a way to start a fight, and the 2026 class is no exception. We jump from concert posters and the closing of Gallery 1988 to a full-on debate about what the Hall is supposed to reward: sales, influence, longevity, cultural disruption, or some messy mix of all four.We break down the 2026 Rock Hall inductees Phil Collins, Billy Idol, Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, Oasis, Sade, Luther Vandross, and Wu-Tang Clan, then pull apart the logic behind the biggest headline: Mariah Carey getting left out again. We lay out the stats, talk through the “rock bias” that still shows up in voting, and ask why pop legends keep getting treated like side quests in a museum that claims to document music history. From there, we dig into influence as a real musical currency, from Iron Maiden's blueprint for modern metal to Joy Division and New Order shaping alternative and electronic rock for decades.The conversation widens to the definition of rock and roll itself, including hip hop's place in the Hall and why Wu-Tang's impact fits the original spirit of rebellion better than a narrow “guitars only” rule. We also get into the practical side of the ceremony: who can actually perform, why some years feel like catch-up years, and which artists we think the Hall keeps missing, especially Jeff Buckley. We wrap with what's exciting right now, including a surge of women-fronted rock and a reminder that defining live moments like Nine Inch Nails at Coachella can be as historic as any induction.If you've got a take, we want it.

Today was the day for AJ. He finally got to sit on a motorcycle and go around the parking lot, one step closer to getting his official state endorsement. Was he able to keep it upright the whole time? (0:00)  Minutes before Jimmy Koplik came on live with Chaz and AJ, Live Nation made an announcement for $30 tickets for summer shows, all over the country. Plus, Jimmy's thoughts on Iron Maiden not showing up for the Rock Hall induction, and the rumored "pop up" show that the Foo Fighters might announce ahead of Tuesday's show in Bridgeport. (12:21) In Dumb Ass News, an arson suspect tried to convince police investigators he was not responsible, despite his numerous burns and missing eyebrows. (38:30) Chaz and AJ had a pretty good round of Stump the Chumps against the Tribe today. The questions were all classic rock related, with assistance from Rob and Rick of the Meriden Daffodil Festival. (45:18)

In the new episode of the Behind The Song podcast, Janda sits down for a no-filter conversation with musicologist Christian James Hand to break down the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class of 2026.

If you've ever stood in front of a microwave wondering if 2:30 is enough time to reheat your questionable leftovers… congratulations, you're already mentally prepared for this episode.Episode 158 of The Rizzuto Show is a full-blown funny podcast experience where the conversations spiral faster than your patience waiting for food to heat up. The crew kicks things off with an oddly passionate debate about leftover timing (which somehow turns into a breakdown of Cypress Hill's song length strategy — because obviously those are connected). From there, it's straight into 420 territory with a rundown of food deals that range from “actually decent” to “this feels like a trap.”But this isn't just a food-and-stoner episode — oh no. We pivot hard into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame drama, including bands skipping their own induction like they've got better things to do (which… they do). Then it's off to Coachella, where the crew dives into the insane scale of the festival, the money machine behind it, and why watching from your couch might actually be the superior life choice.Of course, no funny podcast episode would be complete without celebrity chaos. We've got music legends, awkward performances, a One Direction situation that escalates way too quickly, and just enough gossip to remind you that fame does not equal good decision-making. Sprinkle in a questionable “best stoner movies” list, some nostalgic radio talk, and a few moments where even the crew questions how they got there… and you've got Episode 158.It's messy, it's sarcastic, it's all over the place — and somehow it all works. This is your daily comedy fix, your escape from normal conversations, and proof that sometimes the dumbest debates are the most important ones.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The nominations are in, the debates are loud, and the nerdiness is dialed all the way up—because this special episode of Friends Talking Nerdy is all about the 2026 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees!Join Professor Aubrey and Tim The Nerd as they break down this year's class with the perfect blend of deep music knowledge, passionate opinions, and just enough playful chaos to keep things interesting. From genre-defining pioneers to long-overdue legends, nothing is off-limits as they react to one of the most diverse induction classes in recent memory.They dive headfirst into the cultural impact and legacy of icons like Celia Cruz and Fela Kuti, celebrating the global influence that continues to shape modern music. Hip-hop gets its due as the duo discusses the groundbreaking careers of Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, and the legendary Wu-Tang Clan—and whether the Hall is finally catching up to the culture.Rock purists, don't worry—they've got you covered. Expect passionate takes (and maybe a few friendly arguments) about the inclusion of Oasis, Iron Maiden, Billy Idol, and the influential legacy of Joy Division / New Order. And yes, they absolutely get into the solo success and enduring popularity of Phil Collins—because you can't talk Hall of Fame without a little drum fill discourse.But it's not just about performers. Professor Aubrey and Tim The Nerd shine a spotlight on the behind-the-scenes legends who helped shape the sound of generations, including Linda Creed, Arif Mardin, Jimmy Miller, and Rick Rubin. Plus, they unpack the legacy of television pioneer Ed Sullivan and his massive influence on bringing rock and pop into living rooms across America.Of course, the conversation wouldn't be complete without honoring unforgettable voices like Luther Vandross and Sade, as well as country-rock trailblazer Gram Parsons, whose influence far outweighs his commercial success.And because this is Friends Talking Nerdy, there's a competitive twist: back in February, both hosts made their own Hall of Fame picks. Now, they revisit those predictions to see who nailed it—and who swung and missed like a drummer losing the beat mid-solo.Packed with hot takes, surprising insights, music history deep dives, and the kind of chemistry that makes every episode feel like you're hanging out with friends, this special is a must-listen for any music fan who's ever argued about what really belongs in the Rock Hall.As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.

Taylor Momsen joins Eddie Trunk to discuss The Pretty Reckless' first album in five years, 'Dear God'. She shares stories from touring with AC/DC and The Rolling Stones, revealing how she's formed close friendships with her rock idols. Taylor opens up about the personal struggles that inspired her new music, particularly the track 'When I Wake Up', which explores themes of excess and recovery. She also talks about finding balance through surprising hobbies like crocheting and boxing, her emotional performance at the Rock Hall honoring Soundgarden, and her excitement about headlining shows with new material after years of supporting other acts. Following that, thrash metal veterans Bobby 'Blitz' Ellsworth of Overkill and Chuck Billy of Testament join Eddie to discuss their tour with Destruction.
