It's not easy to pin down the greatest guitarists of all time.

When a list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" was posted by Spin Magazine last Thursday, controversy erupted due to some unlikely selections like L.A. DJ, Skrillex.

The presence of the award winning DJ comes in lieu of guitar greats like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Eddie Van Halen, Slash, Jeff Beck and many others that failed to appear on the list.

The inclusion of the 24-year-old, who picked up Grammy Awards this past year for Best Dance Recording, Best Dance/Electronica Album and Best Remixed Recording, has initiated a heated debate amongst readers about whether or not his presence is warranted.

"As far as we know, our asymmetrically coiffed party pal has never held a guitar in his life," Spin wrote in justification of the interesting 100 slot selection. "But no contemporary musician has a more primal understanding of

TLC photographed during the 1995 MTV Movie Awards. Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes was killed in a car crash in the Honduras …

It's been 10 years since the tragic car accident that led to the death of TLC's resident rap queen Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes.

Earlier this week, on the anniversary of her death, it was announced that the threesome, including surviving members Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, would reunite once again on tour later this year.

According to TMZ, a representative for the group says T-Boz and Chilli are currently in the planning stages of a massive 2012 reunion tour in the U.S." and five cities have been booked with more in the works.

However, what will be extraordinary about this reunion tour is that Lopes will be joining T-Boz and Chilli on stage in a projector form in the style of Tupac's resurrection during the 2012 Coachella music and arts festival.

It's understandable that popular artists like Adele and Rihanna have made it onto TIME's annual "100 Most Influential People in the World" list this year. Both female artists have legions of fans, incomparable appeal and have recently surpassed multiple milestones in each of their careers with record-breaking albums, award wins and singles.

But, would you put Raphael Saadiq, a musician who was once one-third of the '90s R&B group Tony! Toni! Toné! and whose last album, "Stone Rollin'," debuted at number three on Billboard's R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart, on the list with them?

Soon after the list's release, both sides have weighed in on whether or not Saadiq deserved to be labelled as one of the "100 Most Influential People in the World" along with Adele, Rihanna, President Barack Obama and 96 others.

Making the case for Saadiq was Elton John, who wrote that he is a "huge fan" of the R&B singer and expressed that during his performance at John's

RBP marks the passing of broadcasting legend Dick Clark — he of American Bandstand fame — with this career-spanning 2004 interview by Harvey Kubernik——Barney Hoskyns, Editorial Director, Rock's Backpages

Dick Clark is one of the most recognized personalities in entertainment in America: He hosts two nationally syndicated radio shows ("Rock, Roll and Remember" and "The Music Survey"), live "Good Ol' Rock 'n' Roll" shows, and various Rock 'n' Roll video collections.

Clark began his entertainment career at age 17 at WRUN Radio in Utica, New York. After graduating from Syracuse University, he became a news anchorman at television station WKTV. He later moved to Philadelphia to work for WFIL Radio and Television, where he became the host of the local television show, "Bandstand". Later, Clark convinced the ABC Network to carry the show nationwide, and shortly thereafter, "American Bandstand" was the country's highest-rated daytime show. "American Bandstand" holds the record as television's

People magazine is reporting that Whitney Houston's official cause of death was accidental drowning, and that she had cocaine in her system at the time of her death. A source has confirmed to People that contributing factors in her death included heart disease and cocaine use, according to an investigation.

Houston died of accidental drowning due to the effects of cocaine use and heart disease, a Los Angeles County coroner's spokesman said on Thursday, according to Reuters.

Houston, 48, died February 11, the afternoon before the Grammy Awards, after she was found in a bathtub at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, where her mentor Clive Davis was holding his annual pre-Grammy bash that evening. Houston had planned to attend the party. At the time, the L.A Coroner confirmed that prescription pill bottles were found in her hotel room, but "not in alarming amounts."

Bruce Springsteen has launched a "Wrecking Ball" through Adele's music domination and landed himself in the lead on the Billboard 200 album chart.

"Wrecking Ball" is Springsteen's tenth album to reach number one but 'The Boss' outsold the Brit by a mere 1,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Even though it took so few copies to edge out Adele, whose album '21' was No. 1 for 23 non-consecutive weeks, we learned in a very serious movie, "The Fast and the Furious," that "it doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile; winning's winning."

"Wrecking Ball," sold 196,000 copies in its debut and is home to the song of solidarity, "We Take Care of Our Own," which he performed during the opening of the 54^th annual Grammy Awards.

[Photo:Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images]Despite the lyrics, the timing of the release, and pretty much everyone's interpretation, Katy Perry said her latest single "Part of Me" is not about freshly minted ex-husband Russell Brand. But Perry's words aren't just a simple denial: Turns out the song had been written (and leaked) in 2010, just two months into the superstar couple's quickie marriage.

Creepy omen, or simple coincidence?

One week you're on top of the world--completely plugged into the pop culture scene via exciting performances during the marvelous Super Bowl and Grammy Awards telecasts--and the next, you're wondering why you haven't seen a single movie that was nominated for an Academy Award!

And that same week, you wake up, try to put on your shoes, and realize that suddenly, strangely...they're somehow loose! It's as if you've actually physically shrunken! And when you find yourself adjusting your car seat only minutes later--a car seat in which you've been perfectly comfortable for the past three years--it strikes you again! Something has changed!

And then it hits you: Looking at your reflection, you realize you're wearing a wonderful new shirt! And my, you look good!

Who knows, you say to yourself--maybe this will be the week I listen to all the new albums before I review them!

But the man in the mirror laughs! And you find it pretty funny yourself! Later you buy gas!
