    Reader: "I would rock some Poison if Teddy Ruxpin were singing it today"

    Teddy rocks​Last week when we started talking about the first album that we bought with our own money, everybody had a story.

    Top five Headbanger's Ball videos

    ​Headbanger's Ball started on April 18, 1987, and ran for nearly eight years. With little regard for a narrow definition of what constituted metal, the show's programmers seemed to embrace it all.

    Tonight: Locash Cowboys at the Grizzly Rose

    ​Self-described "funkabilly" duo LoCash Cowboys definitely have that typical Top 40 country swagger in their singing, but it is an observational sense of humor that sets them just a bit a part.

    Dave Chandler of St. Vitus on the band's early days at SST and what inspired the reunion

    Tina-Korhonen​St. Vitus (due tonight at Summit Music Hall) were one of the pioneers of a style of music that took its direct inspiration from the first four, maybe even the first six, Black Sabbath albums.
