Disc One: All Their Greatest Hits 1991-2001(more) »rank: 2386by: Barenaked Ladies
Our review: :Electrifying performers and pure-pop songwriters of the highest order, Toronto's Barenaked Ladies have emerged over a decade as that strangest of beasts. They'll never land a dishy cover story in Mojo Magazine, but as they reflect on those ribald years between 1991 and 2001, the five can allow themselves wry smiles, knowing that sometimes, just sometimes, the cream rises to the top. In addition to familiar radio staples such as 'Pinch Me,' 'The Old Apartment,' 'Jane,' 'Alternative Girlfriend,' and the ubiquitous 'One Week,' there's a trump card on All Their Greatest Hits that will prove irresistible to completists: the Ladies' buttery, acoustic version ...

Cheap Trick At Budokan(more) »rank: 6305by: Cheap Trick
Our review: :Within months of the U.S. release of Budokan, originally intended only for the Japanese fans who'd made them superstars half a world away, tongue-in-cheek rockers Cheap Trick went from opening American arena shows to headlining them. Rather than remaining eternal could-haves, metallic pop nuggets such as 'I Want You to Want Me' and 'Surrender' instead became radio mainstays in these versions. This gold version of the title offers superior sound quality for a higher price than the standard-issue CD. --Rickey Wright Detail |
Welcome Interstate Managers(more) »rank: 2585by: Fountains of Wayne
Our review: :After a four-year hiatus notable for some film and television soundtrack work, a lapsed contract, and a relaxed songwriting schedule Fountains of Wayne return with their third and best CD to date. The New York-based power-pop quartet delivers a diverse feast of infectious melodies and endlessly clever lyrics. Songwriters Adam Schlesinger and Chris Collingwood still slide on a sweet scale between the Beatles and the Monkees, but they've branched out from '60s sounds to include bona fide alt rock ('Little Red Light,' 'Bought for a Song'), orchestrated pop ('Halley's Waitress'), a country lark worthy of Dwight Yoakam ('Hung Up On You'), and hints ...

Jesus of Cool(more) »rank: 3653by: Nick Lowe
Our review: :2008 marks the 30th anniversary of Nick Lowe's seminal 1978 album Jesus of Cool. The album, released in the U.S. as Pure Pop for Now People, marks the beginning of one of the most storied and influential solo careers in pop music and marks the true emergence of a songwriting monolith. The album is a literal compendium of 25 years of pop music history. Here, the sweet melodies of pre-Beatles pop, the energy of the British Invasion, the excess of glam and elements of ska and new wave don t blend but stand side by side on the field of battle, each ...

Sunshine Lies(more) »rank: 4385by: Matthew Sweet
Our review:Album Description:In 1991 Matthew Sweet released Girlfriend, an alternative rock milestone, and quickly followed it up with two back-to back classics, Altered Beast and 100% Fun, that cemented his reputation as an elder statesman of indie-rock. Now, nine years after his last major solo release and on the heels of side projects with The Thorns and The Bangles' Susanna Hoffs, comes his long-awaited new album, Sunshine Lies, which hearkens back to the glories of his revered '90s albums. Features long-time sidemen Richard Lloyd (Television), Ivan Julian (Richard Hell & The Voidoids), Greg Leisz (Beck, Bill Frisell), Ric Menck (Velvet Crush), and a guest ... Detail |
