...live without it. Some adults say it's a racket, but our music explains our situation in a way that we ourselves cannot express. The dominant type of music I like is hip-hop, rap and R&B. Some of my favorites are: Ludacris, Mary J. Blige, Missy Elliott, LL Cool J, Trina, Outkast and Janet Jackson...

...Bruce Springsteen, a classic in his own right going on tour to raise money for the anti-Bush 527 group America Coming Together.

It’s Pearl Jam and the Dixie Chicks cutting an album with Springsteen and joining...

But the strength of Fallin', combined with the compelling and oft repeated details of Keys' bio--she was raised by a single...

Stringing together these 11 songs under the loose concept of transcendental romance, Sting only sets himself up for cliched and tired love tunes, which rarely catch attention without pulling in guest artists. Usually, though, they are bogged down with repetitive and maudlin lyrics. Mary J. Blige lends her soul credibility in “Whenever I Say Your Name” for some of the album’s brighter moments. But ultimately, the song falls flat with its swarmy, sugar-coated chorus and failed attempt at manufactured gospel. The opening track, “Inside,” prepares...
