Gov’t Mule • Twenty-seven years after Allman Brother Warren Haynes started his side project, it’s now his main band.

Smells Like Teen Spirit Nirvana • In the 30th-anniversary year of the game-changing Nevermind album, we take a look at the incendiary single (and video) that catapulted Nirvana from virtual unknowns to superstardom.

THE YEAR IN ROCK 2021 THE ULTIMATE REVIEW

ALBUMS OF THE YEAR • 2021 has given us more great music than we probably deserve from both big names and newcomers. Allow us to present the Classic Rock critics’ choice of the best 50.

TOP 5 PROG ALBUMS

GARBAGE • Garbage’s No Gods No Masters saw the band fully maturing their sound against the divisive backdrop of 2021’s culture wars.

BUCKCHERRY • With cracking latest album Hellbound to promote, Josh Todd and co. will be playing UK dates in January, with more to follow in 2022.

TOP 5 COUNTRY ALBUMS

AYRON JONES • A world-class, medal-winning Team USA frisbee competitor as well as a head-turning blues artist, with his latest album Child Of The State he’s just beginning to really fly.

ALICE COOPER • With his twenty-first studio album, Detroit Stories, an in-vintage-form Alice came up with a stone-cold classic. Now he’s looking forward to making up for lost time taking his latest show on the road.

TOP 5 AOR ALBUMS

BIG BIG TRAIN • Since starting to play live they've been on a roll and haven't looked back. Mind you, losing three members nearly had them hitting the buffers.

LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM • Ousted from Fleetwood Mac, the guitarist/vocalist bounced back with one of our albums of 2021. While happy to continue as a solo artist, he’s still hopeful that he can make one more record with the Mac.

TOP 5 BLUES ALBUM

MAMMOTH WVH • While having a rock-star parent opens a few doors, it also means you've got a lot to live up to and a lot to prove. Wolfgang ‘Son Of Eddie’ Van Halen has proved himself with one of the very best albums of 2021.

“Every now and again we come up with an album that seizes the day” • Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson on the band’s all-conquering latest album, taking inspiration from Rammstein for the Writing On The Wall video, and looking forward to playing live “more than you can ever imagine”.

THERE IS LIFE ON THE OUTSIDE • Having just released his highest charting solo album and toured it, Queen’s Roger Taylor is enjoying life away from his ‘day job’.
