...Take Kelefa Sanneh's piece in the March 31 New York Times, "New Ideas from the Top of the Charts." Sanneh makes the excellent observation that the tops of the Billboard charts are filled with music that blends different popular styles (No Doubt, Linkin Park), while rock's rebel fringe (The Strokes, The White Stripes) has gone retro, inspired by ancient garage rock and punk. Sanneh allows that in many cases the latter milieu cuts better albums. But the story also seems to equate the mix-and-match stylistic approach of the popular bands with innovation and originality...

There are a few good songs here, though, but interestingly enough, they have all already been released as singles: Tricky’s “Excess,” the Deftones’ “Change (In the House of Flies...
Nobody tops Linkin Park. These musicians rock, they're deep and they don't need foul language to get their point across. I totally love these guys and listen to their music at top volume whenever I get a chance, but sometimes my teenage son tells me to turn it down. DOMONIQUE KRENTZ White Salmon, Wash...
