Still, Lilith is a welcome development. Right now, pop music is flaccid. The prefab hype of Spice Girls, the sugar-shock kiddie ditties of Hanson, the admirable wholesomeness but inexcusable tiresomeness of Bob Carlisle, the horrific power screeching of Celine Dion--turn it off.

The Haitian-American hip-hop band the Fugees also scored a breakthrough this year with their sophomore album, The Score, which has sold more than 5 million copies so far (their debut sold only...
