Radiohead does 'Fake Plastic Trees,' Rancid does Jimmy Cliff's 'The Harder They Come,' Patti Smith gets 'About a Boy,' and the Beasties weigh in with 'Root Down.' And on and on the list goes, from Sonic Youth to Taj Mahal. Maybe you don't think you want a no-commitment introduction to Tibetan music. Actually, you do--and ...

Tommy Boy's Greatest Beats 1981-1996
: :In a world oversaturated with box sets and anthologies, it's tempting--if not downright easy--to overlook a self-congratulatory, and conspicuously tardy, endeavor like Tommy Boy's Greatest Beats, a five-volume retrospective of the seminal hip-hop imprint. Don't. Although the label seems more focused on their highly successful MTV Party to Go and ESPN Jock Jams series than street-based hip-hop, the compilation aesthetic serves them well on this box. Rather than present a chronological walk through the label's history, this box consists of four mix discs that feature surprisingly successful (and occasionally bewildering) segues, ...
