When Yes released Drama in 1980, it took some fans by surprise. Vocalist Jon Anderson and keyboard legend Rick Wakeman were gone. In their place, Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes of the Buggles stepped in on vocals and keyboards respectively. As jarring as it might have been at the time, the Drama album turned out to be a fascinating listen and over time became both a fan favorite and a cult classic.

Think Southern rock’s jam-based songs rooted in the blues, gospel and R&B vs. the acoustic guitars, banjos and song-oriented tunes of country rock. No doubt it’s a fine line – there aren’t tracks by Lynyrd Skynyrd in the below list of the Top 35 Country Rock Songs, but the Allman Brothers Band and the Marshall Tucker Band appear. What makes a song country rock but not Southern rock? To appropriate a colloquialism: You know it when you hear it. The below songs, as vot...

In 1960, the very first UEFA European Football Championship was held. It’s taken place every four years since then and is, at the time of this writing, the second-most watched football tournament in the world after the FIFA World Cup. (That’s European football, by the way, referred to as soccer by American audiences.) Since 1992, each championship has featured a new song, often multilingual with the host country’s language. In 2020, Bono and the Edge of U2 took part in that year’s song creation. It was titled “We Are the People,” in collaboration with Martin Garrix, Albin Nedler, Kristoffer Fo...
