• ALBUMS OF 2025
  Hundreds of albums came out during the past 12 months, from A-list releases to debuts and everything in between. Here are Classic Rock’s Top 50.
• DANKO JONES
  By their own admission, you know what to expect with a new Danko album. With this year’s Leo Rising being met with more positive responses than they’re used to, things are looking good.
• CARDIACS
  Adored and detested in equal measure, Cardiacs defied classification for decades. Earlier this year, the late Tim Smith’s brother Jim, William D Drake, Kavus Torabi and others looked back, and gave an update on what would be the band’s long-awaited final studio album.
• HIS LORDSHIP
  With their second album, James Walbourne and Kris Sonne aimed for the bullseye of good old rock’n roll: record it as-live, leave it alone, no polishing. And on Bored Animal their aim was true.
• JETHRO TULL
  Ian Anderson talks about the band’s latest album Curious Ruminant, and says he’s more likely to get the itch to make more records than to get the itch to retire.
• CHEAP TRICK
  Fifty years in, they’re still knocking out classy songs, and still Anglophiles when it comes to music, both of which are evident on their latest album, All Washed Up (which clearly they’re far from).
• BACK TO THE BEGINNING
  When Halestorm frontwoman Lzzy Hale was asked to appear at Ozzy Osbourne’s farewell show in Birmingham a few months ago, ‘thrilled’ doesn’t even come close to how she felt. Here she recalls the build-up, the show and the afterwards, and reflects on the loss of a superstar.
• STILL BOSSIN' IT
  With the release of Tracks II: The Lost Albums and the biopic Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere and the completion his Land Of Hopes And Dreams tour, 2025 saw a lot of Bruce Springsteen.
• SMELL THE ROSES
  After being back in GN’R for almost a decade, Slash is enjoying his time with the band he conquered the world with. “We all get along really well, and we have a good time doing what we do,” he says – and drops hints about a new album.
• IN MEMORIAM
  Here’s to the rock’n’rollers, among them musicians, songwriters producers, movers, shakers and others in the music industry who sadly left us in 2025. Thank you, and goodnight…
