1. Who Murdered Notorious B.I.G.?

The Notorious B.I.G. (also known as Biggie Smalls) is one of the most famous hip-hop stars of the 1990s.

Alanis Morrisette’s adoring fans have always wondered who she’s talking about in the song “You Oughta Know.” This breakout song is a beautiful track.

4. Was Pink Floyd Synced With the Wizard of Oz?

This is one of the strangest theories in the music industry. The mystery was first suggested by Fort Wayne Journal Gazette in 1995. It has since been picked up by Pink Floyd fans and other music people.
