Alternative Rock
Alternative rock (also called alternative music or simply alternative; known primarily in the UK as indie) is a genre of rock music that emerged in the 1980s and became widely popular in the 1990s. The term "alternative" was coined in the 1980s to describe punk rock-inspired bands on independent record labels that did not fit into the mainstream genres of the time.[1] As a musical genre, alternative rock consists of various subgenres that have emerged from the independent music scene since the 1980s, such as grunge, Britpop, gothic rock, and indie pop. These genres are unified by their collective debt to the style and/or ethos of punk, which laid the groundwork for alternative music in the 1970s.[2]

  • Sheryl Crow - Tuesday Night Music Club (Deluxe Edition)
    Artist: Sheryl Crow Review: Before she became the omnipresent babe at grizzled-rock-star reunions, Sheryl Crow was a Missouri gal with a big voice, a mutable country-rock countenance and a lust for pop hooks. The loping "Leaving Las Vegas" launched her eclectic Grammy-sweeping 1993 debut, which also had L.A. folk funk, piano-bar blues, even a Dylan-cum-R.E.M. "rap" ("The Na-Na Song"). The bonus disc doesn't exhume her never-released 1992 album (try the Internet), but it has worthy takes on Eric Carmen's 1975 power ballad... Rating: 3.5 Stars
  • Leona Lewis - Echo
    Artist: Leona Lewis Review: Call Leona Lewis a diva of the old-fashioned variety: a singer who uses her rafter-rattling voice to dramatize female suffering. On her second album, the U.K. belter delivers synth arrangements that arc skyward, toward Simon Cowell's mountaintop redoubt. Lewis is technically flawless, but behind lyrics about "the scars on my heart," there's little personality — you miss a little of Mariah and Whitney's supersize ego. Rating: 2.5 Stars
  • Paul McCartney - Good Evening New York City
    Artist: Paul McCartney Review: Forty-four years after the Beatles first played Shea Stadium, Paul McCartney returned to Queens to play the first concert at Citi Field. With an exceptionally well-preserved voice, Macca plows through Beatles and Wings hits, plus solo gems. This is McCartney's sixth live album since 1990 — most with a nearly identical version of "Hey Jude" and "Live and Let Die." Skip to a blazing version of "Day Tripper," which hadn't been touched since the 1960s. Best is "A Day in the Life," featur... Rating: 3.5 Stars
