Hey Rat Rockers, it’s that time of the year where we change the clocks and 70% of us are not happy.  The history of Daylight Savings Time goes back to World War 1. The whole reason behind doing this was to conserve fuel and energy. This also went on through World War 2. They decided to keep the Daylight Savings Time in place since then.  A lot of people feel that there is no reason for us to keep Daylight Savings time. On early Sunday morning at 2am the clocks will go back to 1am. Our cellphones, watches, and newer vehicles will do this automatically. Here are the most common reasons for people saying why it is.

Reasons Why 70% People Think This Is Stupid

  1. It messes up people’s sleep pattern.
  2. It disrupts sleep
  3. It changes people’s attitudes and moods
  4. Time change makes me late for work excuse
  5. It makes us turn the lights on earlier.
  6. It messes up my drinking time
  7.  It disrupts people eating habits

If you ask me since this clock is going back an hour this weekend. I say we should keep the bars open for that extra hour to boost the economic bar industry. Well I don’t know if that is true, but it sounds awesome to get another hour  at the bar right? Although you really shouldn’t mess with time travel look at Marty McFly.

There are two states here in the U.S.A, that don’t follow Daylight Savings Time. They are Hawaii and Arizona. Hawaii does not do it because of it’s location and it’s distance near the equator. The sunlight does not really vary that much throughout the year. Arizona is way to hot and sunny and changing the time would mean the energy that is consumed would rise. That would make people out that way change the whole way of living.

26 Rock Albums That Upped Their Ranking on Rolling Stone's New Best Albums of All Time List

Rolling Stone created a lot of buzz this week when they released an updated version of their 500 Best Albums of All Time list.

Originally released in 2003, the list was predominantly rock-based. In 2020, rock still has a strong presence on the list, but there is definitely more rap, hip-hop, pop and country influence, which can largely be attributed to a more diverse voting block of musicians, industry professionals and journalists.

While a number of albums saw their 2003 ranking drop significantly, the 26 albums below saw their ranking rise at least 50 places or more on the 2020 list.

So, which albums received more love this time around? Scroll through the gallery below to find out!
