The time has come to confront the elephant in the room. Of all the things wrong with society today, the fact that rock bands are generally shut out of modern music is right near the top. Who doesn't love a good rock band? Penny-pinching record labels? The general public? The youths? We get into this dilemma with our good friend, The Old Boy Himself Ryan Blake as we take a look at some great new(ish) rock bands doing great rock band things in the year 2024. TOP TEN ROCK BANDS OF 2024 Part 1 features picks 10-6 in our attempt to show that Rock is not dead and the world wants and needs great bands!

Ryan's boy Jasper has a YouTube page that is as hilarious and silly as he is. Check out PixelShadowStudios:

Picks 10-6 are here in Part 1.

Folks, you don't need me to tell you this is a stressful time. Fortunately for us here in the good ol' US of A, we have several options for releasing stress. In this country we have the right to listen to music. Believe it or not music is strictly forbidden in some places. That's because the powers that be know music has a way to galvanize people like no other art form. Another way to relieve stress is to exercise your right to vote. It's the most valuable thing we have, this freedom of choice. It's such an incredible thing that people take it for granted. Well not anymore! With the future bearing down on us, we're enlisting the incomparable Nina Jo Smith to help us count down our favorite Songs About Choice. Use it while you got it, my friends! Picks 10-6 are featured here in Part 1.

Go ahead and call us weird. We're weird. Joe Lavelle and I are the only ones on the planet that have ever thought about this week's topic. Scour the interwebs for any Reddit, blog or forum talking about this and you won't find it. What we're all about this week is the concept of Artists Born With Stage Names. Emphasis on 'born'. All of your life you assumed these musical legends were performing behind stage names, but you were dead wrong. They were stars all along, at least in name only. We learned a lot digging up these picks. The immortal Joe Lavelle joins for Top Ten Artists Born With Stage Names Part 1, in which we reveal picks 10-6.

My friends, we have done it. We've reached the cream of the crop. The best of the best. The superstars to outshine all of the other superstars that contributed to the greatest charity single of all time, "We Are The World". To date, "We Are The World" and USA For Africa have raised over $100,000,000 for African famine relief. The list of stars that heeded that certain call and sang their hearts out in this endearing classic tune is a who's who of legendary legends in music. Here in Part 3 The ATTT All-Stars rally to attempt to properly rank these icons with picks 7-1. We can't thank Shannon Hurley, Matt Dinan, Joe Lavelle, Ryan Blake, Dustin Prince, Gabe Scalone and the mighty David Daskal enough for putting it all together in this ridiculous exercise. These rankings are for novelty purposes only, and for our love of the music.
