The Hills has become as well known for soundtrack as it has been for manufacturing drama — the show propelled Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin” into the upper reaches of the iTunes charts long before The Sopranos got ahold of it. Click here to watch fifteen of the finest musical moments from the three seasons of The Hills, from the tune that was playing when LC and Heidi called it quits on their friendship (OneRepublic’s “Apologize”) to the Carolina Liar song that accompanied Conrad’s nightime Vespa ride in Paris.

A new documentary, “Rolling Stone: Voice of Our Generation,” is hitting PBS this month; it’s hosted by Paul Shaffer and features interview footage with RS founder and editor Jann S. Wenner, along with clips of many of the artists who’ve made the cover over the years. Check out this snippet, featuring the Police, Bruce Springsteen and U2. “Voice of Our Generation” airs tomorrow on WLIW (channel 21) in New York and nationwide next week.

The latest bold-faced-name musician rumored to appear on The Simpsons is none other than Madonna. While we’re not holding our breath for the notoriously choosy Material Mom to actually eat anyone’s shorts, the notion brings back fond memories of our favorite appearances by rockers on the legendary show (remember the White Stripes’ underwhelming cameo?) Which rock-related Simpsons cameos do you like best? Here are five of our favorites:

• Metallica’s tour bus breaks down and Bart takes the band to school with him.
• Spinal Tap are smothered by their half-inflated devil at a disastrous show in Springfield.
• Homer goes to the Rolling Stones’ rock & roll fantasy camp and runs into Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Elvis Costello and Lenny Kravitz.
• The Ramones sing a punk-rock version of “Happy Birthday” to Mr. Burns.
• Johnny Cash is Homer’s coyote spirit guide.

Yesterday we mentioned we were worried how Larry King would fare interviewing Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison. We accurately guessed that King would ask insanely banal questions like “Do you ever pinch yourself?” (the question he actually asked was “Do you guys, frankly, pinch yourselves?”). We did not figure that the man would forget the name of a Beatle.

After asking Paul where he was when he found out John Lennon had been killed, Larry posed the same question to Ringo, but called him George. Paul then called King out on the mistake, King made an excuse and Ringo attempted to move on. Hilarious. What do you expect from a network that bumped Michael Moore for Paris Hilton? Check out an excerpt from the transcript after the jump.
