Every Cher Album Ranked

2 weeks ago | rocknheavy.net | Cameron Lockhart

Cher has dropped 27 LPs throughout her seven-decade career, so why not rank ’em all? Last year, I decided to honor the Goddess of Pop during her birthday month by doing The Cher-athon, a five-part weekly series reviewing the most overlooked albums of her career. As proud as I am of how those articles turned out, I feel that I still have another big piece in me regarding my admiration of this musical legend. Thus, one year later, I’m back again to review every single album I missed.

2 weeks ago | rocknheavy.net | Daniel Van Auken

In 1966, The Beatles left Beatlemania behind and entered their most innovative era, with a single whose b-side changed everything. For years, I Want to Hold Your Hand has been hailed as The Beatles’ career-defining single, marking their U.S. breakthrough and igniting Beatlemania worldwide. However, this perspective reduces their legacy to commercial success, disregarding their organic creative evolution. So, what was their most influential single? The answer isn’t what most people expect.

The Worst Beatle Rip-Offs & Why Don’t The Beatles Sue?

1 month ago | rocknheavy.net | Daniel Van Auken

What’s the worst case of someone plagiarizing The Beatles, and which two unexpected songs did the Fab Four borrow? The Beatles may be the most plagiarized band in history. Some artists have borrowed the occasional riff, while others have completely copied songs written by John, Paul, George, and Ringo — note-for-note rewrites that sometimes became major hits. So why don’t The Beatles sue? Is it because of their own history of borrowing a little too closely?

A think retrospective on the Thai pop albums 30th anniversaryAmid The White Lotus Thailand frenzy, it’s the perfect time to mention this Thai pop album celebrating its 30th anniversary. In the early 90s, Thai pop, or T-pop reached its peak with R&B, pop, and global influences. 90s Thai pop stars like Christina Aguilar and Mai got Asia on the dancefloor with Euro Hit Factory inspiration. In 1995, Tata Young would join them with her self-titled debut album, อมิตา ทาทา ยัง (Amita Tata Young).

When an artist’s influence becomes part of your DNA, you realize that we’re all standing on the shoulders of giants. As a young kid, I never liked the pop music my schoolmates enjoyed, including the bubblegum pop of New Kids on the Block, Vanilla Ice, MC Hammer, or even Michael Jackson. At seven years old, most music seemed like background noise until one otherwise dull morning in 1991. As my father drove me to elementary school, I heard Wild Thing by The Troggs on the radio for the first time.

Feb 19, 2025 | rocknheavy.net | Daniel Van Auken

In 2023, technology clashed with tradition, dividing fans over Now and Then — where did it go wrong? In 2023, Fans groaned, heads in their hands, calling it “the worst song The Beatles ever released.” Others sat silently, overcome by emotion, repeatedly playing the Fab Four’s final original song, Now and Then. Some just sat there, stunned, unsure what to feel. With such a polarizing reception, as a Beatles-oriented writer, I was fascinated by the divide, which was, in many ways, generational.
