To mark my 45th birthday, I created a playlist that is nothing less than a musical journey through my entire rock ‘n’ roll listening life.

To mark the start of baseball season, Fine Tuning compiled a Playlist of the Top 25 MLB Walk-Up Songs.

The music of Cold War Kids brings a decidedly pre-grunge vibe into the modern era.

With the extinction of ticket stubs, I'm left wondering how to compile a record of my concert attendance.

Rather than endlessly streaming in search of sublime new music, couldn’t I live a much happier life just listening to the Rolling Stones?

I was paralyzed creating this Playlist as I pondered what self-respecting Stones fan would snub “Street Fighting Man"?

Because it masterfully explores every seam in the bedrock of American music and then transcends them, Exile is the greatest Stones record.

Jonny “Two Bags” Wickersham’s 2014 record Salvation Town is an exceptional fusion of rock and Americana.

For each sappy love song, I've added a counterpoint, a tune that approaches the concept of love with, shall we say, a jaundiced eye.

Trigger Hippy’s debut album mixes rock, blues and country. The musical combinations at play create a sound that is both fresh and classic.

Some music just sounds better in certain settings. Like seeing an animal in its natural habitat instead of in a zoo.

This Playlist is a sampling of tunes on my musical map, songs that have become inextricably linked for me with specific places.

To immunize your child against pop, play this mix late at night while the infant is nursing. For best results, repeat often.

An album filled with acoustic nuggets, some with a Celtic quality, others a jazz influence, but all in the troubadour spirit of Bob Dylan.

While brass drives the music of St. Paul & The Broken Bones, the roots of classic rock are all in there, blended together in a unique sound.

Music used to be my go-to holiday gift but the Streaming Age has robbed us all of the ability to continue to give music as a gift.

This Playlist features songs from the embarrassingly sappy mix tape I made for my now-wife when she went to Europe for a summer in college.

One of the staples of my teenage radio-listening days in NYC was the “Old, New, Borrowed and Blue” sets on WNEW; here’s my first ONBB set.

Shovels and Rope blend folk, bluegrass, rock, garage, country and a whiff of punk, tying it all together with pitch-perfect harmonies.

These tracks may not be about ghosts and goblins, but they nonetheless cast a long, dark shadow of foreboding.
