When I first heard Jars of Clay, I was riding in a 15 passenger van with 18 other people, traveling to Searcy, Arkansas for Bible Bowl. When the driver said, “How bout some music?” I cringed, thinking he was going to put in the Songs of the Church acapella tape we’d listened to five times in a row already. When he popped in a CD, I was impressed. When the sounds coming from the speaker were undeniably rock, I thought he had lost his mind. It turns out that there are Christian bands that rock- literally! From that day on, I’ve been a fan of Jars of Clay and encourage anyone who hasn’t had a chance to check them out to do it this week!

Sigh. If only there was a way to get my vampire love fix without rereading long books or watching a hit movie. Oh wait, there is! Yay for the release of the Twilight soundtrack! If the books and movie weren’t enough for you either, you’ll be pleased to see a winning lineup of major rock stars making every moment of the Twilight soundtrack as awesome as the book and film. Including singles from Linkin Park, Paramore, Collective Soul and Muse, this CD is definitely worth sinking your teeth in.

If that still isn’t enough, you’ll be swooning when you realize that the very last song is sung by none other than Robert Pattinson himself. That’s right. He’s hot and he sings. But wait! There’s more! Throw in a bonus CD with special interviews and music videos and you’re sure to be a hit around the neighborhood (or at least with your teenage daughter).

Who can forget the shy, humble Texas girl who shook the world with her powerful debut on the first season of American Idol? Since her monumental victory, Kelly Clarkson has risen from country girl to super star within a matter of a few short years. Her first album, Thankful, showcased her talent and branded her a pop artist, while her second and third landed her a spot in Rock history as one of VH1’s Top 30 Hottest Rock Front Women. With 9 of her songs reaching Top 10 spots on the charts, it can be clearly seen that it is the quality, not quantity, of songs that matter.

Clarkson’s fourth album, All I Ever Wanted, features her hit single My Life Would Suck Without You. In its first week of release, it jumped from number 97 to number 1 on Billboard’s Top 100 List, breaking the record for the largest jump to that position in chart history. If you love Kelly Clarkson, your life will suck without her newest CD.

3.Scream by Chris Cornell

Look out, it’s an outlaw! Oh wait, it’s just Willie Nelson at it again. While you may not be a fan (his music certainly isn’t for everyone), you undoubtedly can answer the question “Who’s that old hippie guy with the braids that sings country music?” without hesitation. Love him or hate him, there’s no denying his fame. It is no surprise to those that know of him that this old timer just won’t quit. Ol’ Willie’s done a bit of everything and worked with everyone, from Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings to Toby Keith and Mike Meyers. With hundreds of songs reaching the tops of all authoritative charts, it is actually hard to find a Willie Nelson song unworthy of a country fan’s time.

His newest album, Willie and The Wheel, is no different. Teaming up with Asleep At the Wheel seems to have been a good plan. Their blend of country and swing music make this a quick favorite among fans old and young.

Hey music lovers! Some of you may remember the first time Astral Weeks was released in 1968, even if it had a nearly non-existent fan base at the time. Although the audience acted indifferently to Van Morrison’s first album for Warner Brothers Records, it achieved critical acclaim and soon become famous for its unclassifiable genre. It has been said to possess a sort of unique musical power- combining folk music, jazz and rock with unprecedented skill. It quickly became a favorite among many famous artists. Elvis Costello called it “the most adventurous record made in the rock medium,” and Steven Van Zandt, of Bruce Springsteen’s band, said that “Astral Weeks was like a religion to us.” Astral Weeks has since been placed on the most authoritative lists of best albums of all times, including The Rolling Stone’s Top 500 Albums of All Time.

Forty years later, Van Morrison brought his classic back to the public in a rerecording live at the Hollywood Bowl. The fan base this time: phenomenal. Morrison’s unpredictable performance brought a fresh new feel to the classics, while remaining true to the feel of the originals. Through a career spanning over 50 years, Van the Man has never ceased to amaze and his newest CD is no exception.
