...York-based group, known for its protracted touring and jam-it-out blues style, first gained prominence with its fourth album, aptly titled Four. “Hook” and “Run-around” dominated the airwaves until 1995 and helped propel Four to quintuple platinum status, making Blues Traveler a household name. Unfortunately, Bridge is fairly ordinary. Decidedly less bluesy, Popper’s signature harmonica solos are rare and truncated and many of the songs sound like everyday pop, closer to poor copies of Barenaked Ladies or Dave Matthews than to vintage blues...
...tiny toddler when Run DMC was on the pinnacle of their success. No doubt that during their time, Run DMC was something: first rap group to win a Grammy, first rap group to go gold, platinum, multi-platinum, first rap group to have their videos played on MTV, first rap group on SNL…the list goes on. But it is their 20th anniversary, and maybe their time has come and gone. Crown Royal proves their ability to make good music, but it still lacks the one thing that made them so popular: their original sound...
...Making the Band, which showed boy-band architect Lou Pearlman holding auditions and casting O-Town from scratch. The team behind MTV's The Real World captured the group's production, primping, packaging--and, of course, fights with girlfriends.

North Atlantic island. Off-season round trips from the U.S. to Reykjavik...
...with the same you-can't-stop-me air Allen Iverson has when he steps onto a basketball court. She's dressed way past the nines--she's hovering around the elevens--in purple boots, purple Anna Sui leather pants and a black mink coat. Her hair, once platinum blond, is arranged in cornrows dyed a shade of red that almost makes the braids appear to glow, like space-heater coils. Eve does an on-air interview hyping her new CD, Scorpion (Ruff Ryders/Interscope), and then records a few attitude-filled promos. "Who's that girl?" Eve asks...
