Even the most casual rock fan has heard –- or at least heard of -- most of the big, influential rock albums of our time. You probably own a copy of 'Nevermind,' 'Dark Side Of The Moon' and 'Abbey Road,' right? However, countless albums are released every year, which are worthy of similar glory.

With its winner receiving a gaudy green jacket that wouldn't be out of place at a retirement home, the Masters is hardly a beacon of contemporary taste. Golf's most revered championship takes place this weekend in Augusta, Ga. If you watch it, you'll undoubtedly hear the majestic Masters' theme song in the video above...

Forget the tired David Lee Roth or Sammy Hagar debate, how about Alex Van Halen or Avery Molek? Molek is a 6-year old from Washington, Pa. He's been playing the drums since he was 4, and he's apparently being taught by someone who knows what they're doing...

However, while all of the indie-pop enthusiasts were going unplugged, and posing as limp-wrist martyrs for a dying alternative, guitar virtuosos like Sam Westphalen were keeping the badass alive by selling their souls to the devil. What did they get in exchange? They learned how to make Slayer tunes sound cool on

Ever since Dr. Dre hit the streets with his Beats, anyone who's serious about filling their skull with bass has ditched the earbuds and started rocking a pair of over-the-ear cans. But which headphones are the best of the bunch?

The Cold War may be over, but one burly man in Russia has started his own violent icy rebellion ... against snowmen.

Not only do heavy metal legends Iron Maiden have one of the most loyal and rabid fan bases of anyone else in the music, or fencing, community they'll soon have possibly one of the drunkest.

This really just made our week, no joke.

You ever go to a sporting event and think "Gosh, this National Anthem is dated.  R. Kelly would totally do a better job than that Francis Scott Key guy."  According to this petition to the White House, one proud patriot has suggested that 'The Star Spangled Banner' be retired in favor of 'Ignition (Remix).' Nearly 10,000 people agree and have signed the petition.
