Mercury Music Prize 
Badly Drawn Boy
Does GoodThe U.K.-based Mercury Music Prize is awarded annually to the best of Brit-pop bands. This year, the influential honor went to Damon Gough, a.k.a. Badly Drawn Boy, for his album The Hour of Bewilderbeast. Badly Drawn Boy's dry lyrical humor and modernist folk, laden with soft-touch acoustic strumming, mellow horns, and gossamer strings, requires repeated listening. Like the finest-quality down pillow, as your head sinks into this album, its warm comforts and rewards reveal themselves deep within its melodic cushion. Fans of Elliott Smith will love this CD.

The Beatles 
27 Trips to the
TopFrom their first album to their last, the Beatles flooded the pop charts with dozens of singles, but could you name all the songs that hit No. 1? It would be a challenge because there was a mind-blowing total of 27. To help, they're all compiled on The Beatles 1. Available for pre-order now, from "Love Me Do" to "Let It Be," this single-disc collection provides an indispensable companion to the much-anticipated The Beatles Anthology book, authored by the band members and released on October 5.

In Rock 
Today's
SpecialsOn Everlast's Whitey Ford Sings the Blues, he made a very honest album, a combination of his down 'n' dirty rock roots and b-boy bravado. With Eat at Whitey's he continues that earnest formula, bringing a sense of soulful sincerity to guitar-driven rap, and once again featuring hip-hop top dogs like Kurupt, Cee-Lo, and B-Real. Ex-Brand New Heavies singer N'Dea Davenport also drops by, adding her velvet voice to the potent mix. In Alternative
Bizkits 'n'
GravyWhat's in a name? Both tasty and tasteless, the title of Limp Bizkit's latest, Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water, speaks volumes about the band's combination of caustic bravado and their patented metal-rap hybrid that somehow maintains a surprising tunefulness. Expect nothing less from Fred Durst and company than an exhausting, backwards-cap-wearing, blood-and-sweat sonic affront. More

In Hip-Hop 
Guru's
JazzmatazzFormer Gang Starr member Guru knows a thing or two about old-school hip-hop, and on the third in his Jazzmatazz series, he proves his mettle in new-school R&B, too. With well-chosen guest appearances from Erykah Badu, Macy Gray, Amel Larrieux, and Les Nubians, Jazzmatazz III focuses on modern soul, leaning on matters of the heart for lyrical inspiration. The Y-chromosome sector is represented splendidly as well, with contributions from the Roots, Isaac Hayes, Herbie Hancock, and Slum Village's Jay Dee. More
