- Phish
- This quasi-concept album (the only of its kind) from these Vermonters finally showcased their ability to convey a message with a studio album, whereas previously they only succeeded in doing so live.
- Nine Inch Nails
- For years I wanted to make music that sounded like something between Love and Rockets and Ministry. In 1989, Trent Reznor beat me to it with this genre-defining album, and it smacked me upside the hea
- Modern Lovers
This timeless masterpiece is little known, but it has inspired almost as many bands as The Modern Lovers' own inspiration -- and only slightly better known -- The Velvet Underground & Nico.
- Rush
- We all know it, right? Well, ya just gotta have it. 2112 finally showed Rush out on their own, doing their own thing, and doing it well, IMHO.
- Congo Norvell

Jax Pimps Your iPod from the Inside Out
Wednesday, January 10th, 2007 at 2:00 PM - by Ricky Spero
San Francisco, CA -- Prosoft Engineering has announced Jax for iPod, an iTunes plugin that wildly extends the iPod's capabilities. In addition to some fairly simple, useful tools, it also includes some wild and slick features. Even better, it's modular, and Prosoft is planning to add many new features in the months after its release.
Jax's workaday features include a configurable visulalizer and some helpful tools for getting album art and lyrics. It will also grab weather, stock, movie listing, and gas price information to deposit on your iPod.
The slicker features, though, include the ability to drag and drop videos from YouTube or Google Video directly to your iPod. Another slick feature uses a spacial map to help you research music artists, and learn the members of bands, which musicians collaborated with whom, and so on.
Researching music artists with Jax.
Jax for iPod will ship in February, and is also available for download. It is priced at US$49
