Albums Hi-Res Masters in lossless formats, a selection of 100 Alternative Hits (2024) titles in Hi-Res.

On her sophomore LP, The Best of Luck Club, 26-year-old Alex Lahey navigates the pangs of generational ennui with the pint half-full and a spot cleared on the bar stool next to her. Self-doubt, burn out, break-ups, mental health, moving in with her girlfriend, vibrators: The Best of Luck Club showcases the universal language of Lahey’s sharp songwriting, her propensity for taking the minute details of the personal and flipping it public through anthemic pop-punk.

After many hours of head-scratching and more than a few worn grooves, we present one of the most ambitious and hopefully provocative lists we’ve ever done: The 100 Greatest Rock Albums of all time.

Albums Hi-Res Masters in lossless formats, a selection of 100 Alternative Hits (2024) titles in Hi-Res.

In the two years since their debut, The Linda Lindas—whose members, as of 2024, are ages 14 to 20—have opened for the Rolling Stones and Green Day, collaborated with members of Bikini Kill, and played both Coachella the the Scripps National Spelling Bee (the first band to ever do so). The word phenomenon does not seem like an overstatement. They've also grown as songwriters and musicians, with the three singers clearly finding their own paths. You hear it right away with bassist Eloise Wong absolutely howling on thrash monster "No Obligation": "You'd like me better if I grew out my hair/ You'd like me better if I wasn't a mess/ You'd like me better if I put on a dress."

From Wikipedia: Love Is the Answer is an album of jazz standards by Barbra Streisand released on September 29, 2009. The album was produced by Diana Krall and features Krall on piano. Orchestral arrangements are by Johnny Mandel, Anthony Wilson and Alan Broadbent. A deluxe edition contains a bonus disc featuring versions of the songs with just Streisand's vocals and Krall's quartet. To promote the album, Streisand performed for one night only on September 26 at the Village Vanguard some forty-eight years after she opened for Miles Davis at the same venue. The album was promoted in a QVC special which offered a Special Edition DVD that includes bonus video tracks of "People" from My Name Is Barbra (1965); "Yesterdays" from Color Me Barbra (1966); "I'm Always Chasing Rainbows" from The Belle of 14th Street (1967); "Silent Night (Sleep in Heavenly Peace)" from A Happening in Central Park (1968); "Cryin' Time" (with Ray Charles) from Barbra Streisand...and Other Musical Instruments (1973).According to her official site, Billboard has confirmed that the album debuted at #1, beating big contenders Paramore and Mariah Carey. This represents her ninth #1 album on the Billboard 200 – this way, Streisand has achieved at least one #1 album in five consecutive decades – the 1960's, the 1970's, the 1980's, the 1990's and the 2000's, extending the record of four decades for a female that she previously held.

World War I is over, let the living begin. So three German soldiers open a repair ship and get on with their lives. Erich (Robert Taylor) finds unexpected love with frail Patricia (Margaret Sullavan), Gottfried (Robert Young) falls in with a verboten anti-nationalist group, Otto (Franchot Tone) approaches each day with worldly cynicism. And through all that's to come, the men know they will remain Three Comrades.
This lyrical adaptation of Erich Maria Remarque's novel is one of F. Scott Fitzgerald's rare screenwriting credits. Melodrama virtuoso Frank Borzage (Seventh Heaven) directs. And as Patricia, Sullavan remains the film's luminous soul, its cherished fourth comrade.

On her sophomore LP, The Best of Luck Club, 26-year-old Melbourne, Australia native Alex Lahey navigates the pangs of generational ennui with the pint half-full and a spot cleared on the bar stool next to her. Self-doubt, burn out, break-ups, mental health, moving in with her girlfriend, vibrators: The Best of Luck Club showcases the universal language of Lahey's sharp songwriting, her propensity for taking the minute details of the personal and flipping it public through anthemic pop-punk. Lahey's 2017 debut I Love You Like a Brother encases Lahey's knack for writing a killer hook and her acute sense of humor delivered via a slacker-rock package and, in a way, The Best of Luck Club picks up where that record left off.
