Ozzy Osbourne's distinctive voice peaked during Black Sabbath's early 1970s albums, showcasing a desolate wail filled with reach and deep melancholy, perfect for themes of cocaine addiction.

The Duffer Brothers cobbled together a fake trailer featuring clips from E.T. with its soundtrack replaced by the menacing synths of John Carpenter.

The future seldom arrives on time. Proclamations that a certain technology is about to radically alter our everyday lives are almost always proven wrong.

On this album, each song acts as a self-contained narrative, reflective of childhood influences from authors like Ray Bradbury and Stephen King's horror collections.

Blake Shelton's new album 'For Recreational Use Only' shows his ability to reinvent himself, blending classic and modern country styles.
