Should we separate male vocalists from female vocalists when submitting our lists? Personally, I don't think we should, but I thought it was a good question for the board to consider.

Would this simply be a vote of our favorite singers or would we be trying to rank singers based on their technical skills? I say this because Stephen Malkmus is one of my favorite singers but he doesn't always "hit the notes." Regardless, I would definitely be interested in participating i...

I listened to a stream of The Black Keys' Turn Blue on iTunes Radio and my first impression is that it may be their best work yet. The opener, "Weight of Love," was probably my favorite track.

Black Flag - Nothing Left Inside (Brad) I don't really have funny quips, but I suppose you could say this won't be "left inside" the jukebox. James Taylor - Steamroller (live) (DocBrown) ...and I guess I'm "steamrolling" this out of the competition. :| The Pretenders - Stop Your...
