...neat trick, turning discipline into ecstasy, and Coldplay executes it with enough variations to keep things surprising. Strings pop up everywhere--not to grease your tear ducts but to enrich the sound and drive the countermelodies. After years of playing to the back row, guitarist Jonny Buckland has discovered that guitars come with more than one pedal, and his work on Lovers in Japan and Violet Hill is admirably precise. Will Champion, whose previous claim to fame was having the greatest drummer name of all time, bangs away on his kettles and timpani like a man celebrating his release from...
...With his mixture of pop and traditional country-music styles, guitarist and singer Eddy Arnold earned induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1966 and a spot on the Top 10 charts alongside the Beatles and the Rolling Stones in 1965. Raised on a Tennessee sharecropper's farm, Arnold never lost touch with his roots.

...your livelihood depended on constantly being with, and agreeing with, your three best friends from college. It's enough to make a rock star want to become a farmer, which is exactly what drummer Bill Berry did when he retired from the band in 1997. Singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck and bassist Mike Mills continued, but they put more weight behind their vow to rock on into middle age than into any actual rocking, and it soon became clear that Berry's departure had done quite a number on the group's psychology...
