 On My Way is the second album released by Ben Kweller, released on April 6, 2004. All songs were written by Ben Kweller. On My Way was recorded at the same studio (Sear Sound) as Sha Sha, The Approach was completely different. "I really wanted to capture the band that had been backing me up for the past year and a half. We recorded everything live, in one room without headphones and hardly any overdubs. I'm very proud of On My Way's spontaneity and honesty. I'm especially proud of the song "On My Way". I feel it's one of my best." The touring band for the album featured John Kent from Radish and Jason Roberts on guitar. On My Way was their first headlining tour in France. Ben Kweller also co-headlined with Death Cab For Cutie and Incubus in the US. Kweller also performed in Japan with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and the White Stripes.

DOWNLOAD ALBUM SING IT Ben Kweller is the self-titled third album by Ben Kweller. It was released September 19, 2006 on ATO Records. For the 9 weeks leading up to the release of the Album Ben Kweller previously took footage of himself and made an internet mini-show called "One Minute Pop Song." Each episode would consist of usually 2-6 minutes. Topics of the videos were varied. Some of the topics were about a fan who sent in a cover version of a song, talking about laying down the tracks and playing all the instruments on the album, showing a tour of the studio, Ben Kweller rating himself on each instrument, telling a story about Neil Young, and talking about how he learned to play the drums from his father. On his Myspace website, Ben described the making of the album as "very exciting, emotional and challenging." He explained that since he played all the instruments on the album it "was a big change for me and it produced something really intimate and special. It's such a different way of working but if you can pull it off it makes a very cool and unique sound." He also described a song on the album, "A bonus for me, and you, is I think I might have written my best song while I was in the studio. It's called 'Thirteen'. It's very personal and almost hard for me to listen to." Track ListingAll songs and instruments by Ben Kweller.
DOWNLOAD ALBUM SING IT Let's Go is a 1994 punk rock album by the band Rancid. Released on the influential indie label Epitaph Records, Let's Go initially achieved little mainstream success, though it appealed to the band's fanbase. However, the surprise success of punk rock bands like The Offspring, Green Day and Bad Religion in the mid-1990s brought forth more mainstream interest in the album, and it ultimately reached #97 on Billboard's Heatseekers and Billboard 200 charts, respectively. Until Rancid (2000), Let's Go was the only Rancid album to be produced by Brett Gurewitz, although he engineered the band's next album, ...And Out Come the Wolves, which is regarded by fans as Rancid's best release, and a classic from the golden age of the 1990s California punk scene. Track ListingAll tracks are by Armstrong, Frederiksen & Freeman, with Shaken 69 frontman Erik Dinn joining in on the writing for "The 11th Hour."
DOWNLOAD ALBUM SING IT Warning is the sixth full length album by Green Day, released in 2000. Building upon predecessor Nimrod, Warning eschews their trademark punk rock sound and incorporated acoustic elements. Warning was also the first Green Day album that was not produced by Rob Cavallo since Kerplunk. Although Warning reached #4 on the charts and went gold, the album clearly displayed the fact that Green Day was not enjoying the success they had earned in the past, and held a less prominent spot in the mainstream. Despite its high critical response, it represented the lowest commercial slump in the band's career since their 1994 breakthrough Dookie. Reaching #4 in the U.S. and UK, Warning has sold 500 thousand units in the U.S. and 5 million worldwide as of August 2006
Track ListingAll songs by Billie Joe Armstrong (lyrics) and Green Day (music), except where noted.
 No Code is the fourth album by American alternative rock band Pearl Jam, released in August 1996 through Epic Records. Following a troubled tour for its previous album, Vitalogy (1994), in which the band engaged in a much-publicized boycott of Ticketmaster, the band went into the studio to record its follow-up. The music on the record was even more diverse than what the band had done on previous releases, incorporating elements of garage rock, worldbeat, and experimentalism. Although No Code debuted at number one on the Billboard charts, it left a large section of the band’s fanbase unsatisfied and quickly fell down the charts. Although the album is certified platinum in the United States, it was the first Pearl Jam album to not reach multi-platinum status. While Vitalogy had shifted away from the earlier albums' accessible compositions and polished production, No Code represented a deliberate break from Ten's anthemic stadium sound, favoring experimental ballads and noisy garage rockers. It stood out with its emphasis on subtle harmony ("Off He Goes"), Eastern influences ("Who You Are"), and spoken word ("I'm Open"). Jack Irons lends a tribal drum sound on the songs "Who You Are" and "In My Tree". Vedder said, "We realized that we had an opportunity to experiment." David Browne of Entertainment Weekly stated that "No Code displays a wider range of moods and instrumentation than on any previous Pearl Jam album". The lyrical themes on the album deal with issues of spirituality, morality, and self-examination. Vedder said, "I think there's a little self-examination in those songs, something that a lot of my friends are going through too, as they approach 30." Vedder has said that he wrote the song "Off He Goes" about himself and how he is a "shit friend". For the first time on a Pearl Jam album a band member other than Vedder contributed lyrics, with guitarist Stone Gossard penning the lyrics to "Mankind". Gossard also sang lead vocals on the track. The lyrics to "Smile" are taken from a note that Dennis Flemion of The Frogs hid inside Vedder's notebook while he was onstage performing. The words used in the note are taken from the Frogs songs "This Is How I Feel" and "Now I Wanna Be Dead". Flemion is given credit in the "No Code" vinyl, but the credit is inexplicably absent from the CD version. The lyrics to "Red Mosquito" were inspired by Vedder's stay at a hospital in June 1995 due to food poisoning and his attempt to perform at a concert that day at San Francisco's Golden Gate Park in front of 50,000 people. Vedder only made it through seven songs and the band was forced to cancel the remaining dates of the short tour that it was on. "Around the Bend" was written by Vedder as a lullaby that Irons could sing to his son.

 Combat Rock is a 1982 album released by The Clash. It was the last album to feature the classic line-up before Mick Jones left, and Topper Headon was kicked out for his heroin addiction. The album includes many different styles of music, continuing the trend from London Calling and their previous album Sandinista!. In the United Kingdom the album charted at #2, spending 23 weeks in the UK charts. The album reached #7 in the United States, spending 61 weeks on the chart, and was certified platinum. Combat Rock was originally planned as a double album with the working title Rat Patrol from Fort Bragg, but the idea was scrapped after internal wrangling within the group. Mick Jones had produced the first cut, but the other members were dissatisfied and producing duties were handedto Glyn Johns, at which point the album became a single LP. The original cut has since been obtained and subsequently bootlegged. Pennie Smith shot the cover photo for Combat Rock on a deserted railway line outside Bangkok while the band was on their "Far East" tour in 1982. Following along the same note as Sandinista!, Combat Rock's catalogue number 'FMLN2' is the acronym for the El Salvador political party 'Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional' or FMLN. In January 2000 this album along with the rest of the Clash's catalog was remastered and re-released. According to author Marcus Gray, the song Red Angel Dragnet was inspired by the January 1982 shooting death of Frank Melvin, a New York member of the Guardian Angels. The song contains extensive quotes from the 1976 movie Taxi Driver's main character Travis Bickle, delivered by Kosmo Vinyl. Bickle sports a mohawk in the later part of the film and that hairstyle was adopted by Joe Strummer during the album promotion. The song, Ghetto Defendant, features Beat poet Allen Ginsberg, who performed the song on stage with the band during the New York shows on their tour in support of the album. Original U.S. pressings of the album had the full length track "Inoculated City" lasting 2:43. This version contained the audio from a television commercial for a toilet bowl cleaner called "2000 Flushes." After the maker of the product complained of copyright infringement the track was edited to 2:11. Approximately 100,000 copies of the first version were pressed with custom designed record labels. However the majority of copies sold had the edited track and were re-issued on a standard dark blue Epic Records label. The full length track also appeared on the B-side of a US "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" single. Early US CD copies had the edited track. But when the album was released as a remastered CD in 2000 the full length track was restored though no mention of this was made anywhere on the CD package. Track ListingSide one

 Don't Believe the Truth is the sixth studio album by Oasis, released on 30 May 2005. It reached #1 in the UK Albums Chart with first week sales of just under 238,000, becoming the 9th fastest selling album ever in the UK. The album entered the U.S. charts at #12, with 65,000 albums sold in the first week, the highest any Oasis album has reached there since 1997 with Be Here Now, although its chart stay was brief. The album went triple platinum in the UK in the first week of 2006, and has gone Gold in the United States. As of July 2007, Don't Believe the Truth has sold over 4 million copies worldwide. Every member of the band contributed to the writing of tracks for the album, and the album is the first where all duties were divided between the band members. On some of the tracks regular bass player Andy Bell handled guitar, while Gem Archer and Noel Gallagher contributed bass to other songs. Don't Believe the Truth is the first Oasis record to feature the drumming of Zak Starkey, who replaced Oasis' longtime member Alan White. Liam also had a larger impact on the album by his developing songwriting. Noel has said that this album is his favourite of Oasis' last four, because all members have contributed to it. This, he claims, has given it a different feel to a typically Noel-written Oasis album. The band embarked on a massive world-wide tour that started off at the London Astoria for their Don't Believe the Truth Tour, visiting 26 countries and playing to 2 million people. This resulted in the making of Lord Don't Slow Me Down, a film later released on DVDTrack Listing
 Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers is the eponymous debut album by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, released in late 1976. Initially following its release, the album received little attention in the United States. Following a British tour, it climbed to the #24 on the UK album chart and the single "Anything That's Rock 'n' Roll" became a hit in the UK. After nearly a year and many positive reviews, the album reached the U.S. charts, where it climbed to #55 and eventually went Gold.

 Zuma is a rock album by Neil Young with Crazy Horse released in 1975. It was named after Zuma Beach in Malibu. Zuma was the first album released after the famed Ditch Trilogy, comprising the albums Time Fades Away, Tonight's the Night, and On the Beach. It has an overall more upbeat atmosphere, with a combination of country-tinged rock acoustics and lumbering hard-rock pieces similar in style to songs on Young's second album, Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere. As on the latter album, Young is backed up by Crazy Horse with the lased in 1975. It was named after Zuma Beach in Malibu. Track ListingAll songs written by Neil Young. Side One

 Blonde on Blonde is singer-songwriter Bob Dylan's seventh studio album, released in 1966 by Columbia Records. It is believed to be the first significant double album in rock music, its length forcing it to two LPs, although some digital reissues fit the album on one compact disc. It is notable for injecting Dylan's brand of blues rock, fully established on Highway 61 Revisited, with a more eclectic sound and even more surreal lyrics. Despite its uncompromising nature, it has come to be regarded as one of Dylan's greatest achievements, and "one of the greatest rock & roll albums ever made". It also marked the end of an era for Dylan, who would soon be involved in a motorcycle accident (significantly changing his musical approach). Recorded in Nashville, the album was produced by Bob Johnston. It peaked at #9 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart in the US, eventually going double-platinum, while it reached #3 in the UK. It is ranked as the ninth greatest album of all time by both VH1 and Rolling Stone. Track ListingAll songs written by Bob Dylan. Side one

 Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace is The Offspring's upcoming eighth studio album, which is set to be released on June 16, 2008 in Europe and a day later in the United States. This will be the band's first full-length studio release in four and a half years, the longest gap between The Offspring's studio albums to date. Its release had been delayed several times since frontman Dexter Holland first announced the album in 2004. Writing and recording sessions for this album lasted for almost two years, making it the longest time The Offspring have ever spent working on an album. Although drummer Atom Willard (who left in July 2007) was still a member of the band during the recording, session musician Josh Freese actually handled the drum tracks, like he did on the previous album Splinter. Due to contract issues with Geffen Records, Willard was not supposed to do recording on the album and later decided to leave the band and continue his duties in Angels & Airwaves full time whilst Face to Face drummer Pete Parada joined the band just in time for the tour.Track Listing

 Life in Slow Motion is the seventh studio album by English singer-songwriter David Gray, released in 2005. Following a muted response to his previous album, A New Day at Midnight, this album is seen by many as a considerable return to the form that brought Gray international acclaim with White Ladder. The singles from the album are "The One I Love", "Hospital Food" & "Alibi". "Disappearing World" was dropped as the fourth release, as "Alibi"'s charting position saw that the predicted single wouldn't do well. Life in Slow Motion debuted at #1 on the Irish Top 75 Albums, staying for 3 weeks on top before dropping to #4. In the United Kingdom a week after release in Ireland, it debuted also at #1 on the UK Top 75 Albums, collecting 2 weeks at #1 before dropping to #3, it spent 7 weeks in the top 10 and 25 weeks in the top 75. According to http://www.musicharts.net it debuted on the United World Albums at #7 selling 209,000 copies, whilst in its second week it dropped to #10 selling 170,000. By its third week it slid to #18 selling 128,900 and after 4 weeks in released it continued to fall this time to #28 only selling 89,000 copies. Track Listing
 …And Out Come the Wolves is an album by the punk rock band Rancid, released in August of 1995. Released soon after the breakthrough success of Green Day and The Offspring, Rancid's cult popularity and catchy songs made them the subject of a major label bidding war (hence the title, ...And Out Come the Wolves taken from a poem in Jim Carroll's Basketball Diaries) that ended with the band sticking with their indie label, Epitaph Records. Reportedly Madonna had even sent the band nude pictures of herself back then to convince the band to sign to her label Maverick while Epic Records offered a 1,5 Million Dollar Deal. With a sound heavily influenced by ska, which called to mind Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman's past in Operation Ivy, Rancid became one of the few bands of the mid- to late-1990s boom in punk to retain much of its original fanbase. In terms of record sales, …And Out Come the Wolves is a popular album. It produced three hit singles – "Time Bomb", "Ruby Soho" and "Roots Radicals" – that earned Rancid its heaviest airplay on MTV and radio stations to date. …And Out Come the Wolves has continued to sell consistently well in the thirteen years since its release, and on January 22, 1996 was certified gold by the RIAA. It was also certified platinum on September 23, 2004. The cover art is a tribute to Minor Threat, a landmark hardcore punk band, that originally used the image of a man with his head on his knees on steps on the self-titled EP. Track ListingAll tracks are by Armstrong, Frederiksen & Freeman, with Shaken 69 frontman Erik Dinn joining in on the writing for "The 11th Hour."

 Sky Blue Sky is the sixth studio album by Chicago rock band Wilco, released on May 15, 2007 by Nonesuch Records. Originally announced on January 17, 2007 at a show in Nashville, Tennessee, it was the band's first studio album with guitarist Nels Cline and multi-instrumentalist Pat Sansone. Before its release, the band streamed the entire album on its official website and offered a free download of "What Light". Sky Blue Sky was Wilco's highest debuting album on the Billboard 200 at number four. The self-produced album received mostly favorable reviews by critics. Publications such as PopMatters and Rolling Stone praised its maturity, while PlayLouder and Pitchfork Media criticized its "dad-rock" sound. While some critics praised the direct lyrical approach, others criticised it when compared to previous Wilco albums. The band licensed six songs from the Sky Blue Sky sessions to a Volkswagen advertisement campaign, a move that generated criticism from fans and the media. The cover artwork of Sky Blue Sky is a photograph by Manuel Presti titled "Sky Chase." The photograph was taken in Rome, Italy, and helped Presti win the 2005 BBC Wildlife Photographer of Year Competition. The same photograph is featured in the July, 2007 issue of National Geographic. Nathaniel Murphy provided several illustrations for the liner booklet, which include a tree on a hill, a hand, and a flock of birds. The booklet also contains photographs of the band members by Frank Ockenfels. Graphic design was provided by Jeff Tweedy and Lawrence Azerrad. Track ListingAll songs written by Jeff Tweedy except as indicated.
 Pet Your Friends is the debut album by the alternative rock band Dishwalla. It was released in 1995 on A&M Records. The album produced the hit single "Counting Blue Cars" (the third single off the album and only one to gain widespread success), which was a Top 40 favorite. However, the song also caused the group to gain somewhat of a one-hit wonder status because of it. Still, the album's fourth single, "Charlie Brown's Parents", was quite popular at concerts, although it was not a very successful single in terms of sales. An acoustic version of "Counting Blue Cars" which featured an extended bridge was also popular on radio. Track Listing
