Some Girls
: essential recording:A fresh, uncompromising attempt to incorporate 1978 pop techniques into the band's familiar sound, Some Girls opens with the disco sass of 'Miss You' and closes with the self-destructive punk of 'Shattered.' (Both songs, especially 'Miss You,' with its distinctive Mel Collins sax solo, remain live showstoppers.) So the Stones declared credibility in the dance circuit without sacrificing their hard-rock reputation. Though the anti-love 'Beast of Burden' and the stylishly slow 'Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)' ...

Anthology: Through the Years
:Album Description:Neatly fitting in between 1993's GREATEST HITS and the 5-CD PLAYBACK box set that came out two years later, this 34-track collection is a chronological tour of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers' MCA Records material. The consistent quality found throughout this two-CD set that's bookended by the sinister-sounding 'Breakdown' and chiming 'Surrender'(a song Petty wrote in the '70s but didn't get around to recording until August 2000) boggles the mind. Tight playing and a palpable sense of passion from ...

Blues
: :\N :After the disorganized and often unlistenable Alan Douglas-produced reissues in the '70s and '80s, MCA has been releasing the vast Hendrix archives in an intelligent and methodical manner. Blues is a perfect example, making the case that--on top of everything else--Jimi Hendrix was one fine blues guitarist. Combining the fluid lines of B.B. King with the spikiness of Hubert Sumlin and the crying tone of Elmore James with his usual synapse-frying intensity, Hendrix manages to both honor the ...

After the Gold Rush
: essential recording:After laboring in Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Neil Young finally hit perfect pitch--if his endearing off-center whine can be called 'perfect'--with his third album. He's equally passionate with trippy riddles (has anybody figured out what 'We've got mother nature on the run' means in the title track?) and pointed protest (after 30 years of rock-radio overplay, 'Southern Man' still rings with truth about redneck racism). His creaky ensemble, including pianist Jack Nitzsche and rotating ...

Diesel vehicles have nearly a 50-percent market share in Europe, thanks to tax incentives and diesel-friendly legislation across the EU. Diesels are so passé there that you can buy a BMW 730d and no one will think it odd that your luxury car burns oil. Pull up in a diesel 7-Series in America and people would leer at you like you've alighted from an amphibious vehicle reeking of saltwater and dead trout.
