...quartet that's now a trio, seemed to be tottering. But late last year, its single, Independent Women Part I, went to No. 1. And last week the group received four Grammy nominations. Lead singer Beyonce Knowles earned a fifth nod for songwriting, tying with veteran rap producer Dr. Dre as this year's most nominated...
Radio.sonicnet starts out promisingly enough, with a list of about 50 subgenres. You're asked how much you like to listen to each on a scale of 0 to 5. I nixed rap and country, gave Top 40 a low priority and high marks to electronica, jazz, R. and B., classical and old-school rock. I named my station "Taylor Radio: Home of Tasteful Music."

Airplanes stayed in the air. Y2K bunker dwellers began to pack up canned food...
...record collections are always there for emotional consolation. But what do you do when your favorite band breaks up with you? The hip-hop/hard-rock quartet Rage Against the Machine has proved to be one of the most exciting bands around during its eight-year run, melding slashing guitars, rap rhythms and political fervor with unsurpassed skill. Recently, though, front man Zack de la Rocha announced plans to go solo. Rage guitarist Tom Morello says the band will continue, but he's not sure it will do so under the same name. Is there a chance de la Rocha might...
