Sarah Cracknell: Lipslide

Motörhead: Everything Louder Than Everyone Else
Motörhead is not so much a band as it is a venerable institution in rock. It's a deity, a punchline, an inspiration, a common ground for punks, metalheads, rockers, and more. Still, when the band tour
Joey Ramone: Don't Worry About Me

Julieta Venegas: Bueninvento

Me First And The Gimme Gimmes: Have A Ball
The concept of Have A Ball, the debut full-length by the punk-rock sort-of-all-stars in Me First And The Gimme Gimmes, is about as simple as they come: It's got 12 punk covers of cheesy '70s and early
Kim Richey: Glimmer

Caitlin Cary: While You Weren't Looking

The Murder City Devils: Empty Bottles, Broken Hearts
The bad-asses in The Murder City Devils would never in a million years use the phrase "raison d'être." That said, the raison d'être of the MCD is best captured in the first song on Empty Bottles, Brok
Ice-T: 7th Deadly Sin
One thing that sets great rappers apart from mediocre ones is a willingness and ability to convey something meaningful and true rather than merely wallowing in cliches. Consequently, while albums by M
Clyde McPhatter: The Forgotten Angel

As nice as it would be for jazz artists to be rewarded for artistic progress, the jazz community is generally one of the more conservative music-buying audiences. As well known and respected as guitar
Fountains Of Wayne: Fountains Of Wayne
If you haven't heard it yet, Fountains of Wayne's "Radiation Vibe" is the closest thing to a perfect pop/rock song on the radio right now: It's got one of those swollen summer choruses that make you s
Rahzel: Make The Music 2000
Anyone lucky enough to catch The Roots in concert has had the pleasure of being blown away by Rahzel, the group's human beatbox. With an almost superhuman ability to replicate beats, samples, voices,
