'Queen - The Platinum Collection: Greatest Hits I, II & III'
: :What once seemed Queen's greatest liabilities--a preening flamboyance and pompous, overwrought theatricality--have ironically become their most enduring charms in a gray, postmodern pop-music landscape. While it eschews the glammy, pre-punk hard rock of live faves like 'Stone Cold Crazy' and 'Tie Your Mother Down' for the band's more quirky club-beat string of latter-day hits, this 51-track triple-CD anthology goes a long way toward documenting the true dimensions of the band's music and fame. Some songs may not be instantly familiar to American fans because of yet another irony: just as their U.S. fortunes ...

Bringing It All Back Home
: :'You sound like you're having a good old time,' a purist Dylan fan is spotted telling the artist in the documentary Don't Look Back just after the release of this, his first (half-)electric album. He certainly does. Updating Chicago blues forms with hilarious, tough lyrics--in fact, all but stealing the meter of Chuck Berry's 'Too Much Monkey Business' for 'Subterranean Homesick Blues'--on one side, dropping some of his most devastating solo acoustic science ('It's All Over Now, Baby Blue,' 'Mr. Tambourine Man') on the other, the first of Dylan's two 1965 long-players broke ...

1967-1970 (The Blue Album)
: :Even as the Beatles began heading toward an inevitable breakup, their prolific ways continued; this two-disc look back only skims the surface of their later achievements. Excerpts from Sgt. Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour, the white album, Abbey Road, and Let It Be compete for space with classic singles that do as much or more to prove their eclecticism: the epic ballad 'Hey Jude,' the plaintive 'Strawberry Fields Forever,' straight rock & roll of all stripes from the plainspoken 'Revolution' and 'Get Back' to the surreal 'Come Together.' Decades after the split, this (and ...

Greatest Hits
:Album Description:Hailing from the state of Florida, singer-songwriter Tom Petty has come to epitomize a new rootsy style of California rock'n'roll. Rhythmically, the music harkens back to the basic crunch of the Rolling Stones and the dancing pop of the Beatles, while Petty's gravelly vocals and sing-song narrative style suggest roots in the folk-blues Americana of Bob Dylan. This new Greatest Hits collection replaces the classic hit of 'Something in the Air' with 'Stop Dragging My Heart Around' featuring Stevie Nicks.

A Hard Day's Night
:Album Description:A Hard Day's Night was the first Beatles album of all-original material, and the first to feature George Harrison playing his Rickenbacker electric 12-string guitar (on the opening chord of 'A Hard Day's Night,' for instance). The distinctive sound of the 12-string inspired countless guitarists including Roger McGuinn and David Crosby of the Byrds. The film from which these songs hail remains a classic combination of happy 1960s naivete and nascent hipster wit. Many of the most important rock bands to emerge in the latter half of the '60s came into being ...

Diesel vehicles have nearly a 50-percent market share in Europe, thanks to tax incentives and diesel-friendly legislation across the EU. Diesels are so passé there that you can buy a BMW 730d and no one will think it odd that your luxury car burns oil. Pull up in a diesel 7-Series in America and people would leer at you like you've alighted from an amphibious vehicle reeking of saltwater and dead trout.
