Buy Now	The Concert for New York City (more) »rank: 17645 by: Various Artists : :Less than six weeks after the attack on the World Trade Center, pop, rock, and R&B luminaries gathered at Madison Square Garden to pay tribute to the firefighters, police officers, and rescue workers who stepped to the fore following the catastrophe. The benefit, captured on this two-disc set, consequently has an immediacy and urgency rare among star-studded extravaganzas; the ruins of the twin towers, as well as the passions of the performers and audience, were still smoldering. With Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, and David Bowie digging deep into their oeuvres to resurrect songs appropriate for the occasion (the likes of ...

Buy Now	Now That's What I Call Music! 8 (more) »rank: 8002 by: Various Artists : :This volume of the chart-survey series is its best yet, offering stellar examples of nearly every subgenre it approaches. Interestingly, the platinum machine's eighth outing is also its most subtle (the take-your-time sultriness of Aaliyah's 'Rock the Boat,' Usher's 'U Got It Bad') and teasingly offbeat (Gorillaz's dub-wise sleeper 'Clint Eastwood,' the Wiseguys' noise-hop 'Start the Commotion') moments.

Count yourself in, courtesy of Terror Squad ('Lean Back'), J-Kwon ('You & Me'), and the Beastie Boys ('Ch-Check It Out'), or out, owing to Gretchen Wilson ('Here for the Party') and Keith Urban ('Days Go By'). Ditto for girl pop (Ashlee Simpson's 'Pieces of Me,' Jessica Simpson's 'Angels') and hard rock (Crossfade's 'Cold')--take it or leave it or, if ...
