It has been three years since Lloyd released his debut album, Southside. His very first single, Southside, (featuring Ashanti) was merely a one-hit-wonder. However, his latest single, You, is scoring higher positions on the charts with the help of Lil Wayne on the track. Lloyd s sophomore album releases next week on Tuesday, March 13, 2007, entitled Street Love. The sound of this 13-track album (excluding the introduction) is not surprising, but yet still holds a few potential good singles.

Tomorrow, one of rock's greatest albums will be celebrating its 20th birthday. U2's "The Joshua Tree" was released on March 9th, 1987, earning the boys from Dublin worldwide commercial and critical success. To commemorate the landmark album, I compiled and ranked U2's best songs ever recorded.

1. With or Without You ‑ The Joshua Tree, 1987

Not the most complex or brilliant piece of music in U2's catalogue, probably one of the simplest songs to learn to play. But as far as songwriting goes, it has perhaps the most moving lyrics to come from the band. What makes this the greatest U2 song, however, is just the sheer emotion that resonates from Bono's voice from start to finish.

It's hard to believe but next month Iggy Pop turns 60.

Not that he minds.

"Only now in my life do I have everything I wanted when I was an adolescent," Pop explains. "Cool cars, hot sex, a really good band that people actually enjoy, proper gigs. And I don't wake up feeling ill."

Better, only at this point has Pop managed to record the first full album in over three decades with his historic blurt of a band, The Stooges. This week, the reunited group releases "The Weirdness," a 12-track spew of whiplash riffs and murderous lyrics more viciously skewed than anything out there now by guys 40 years their junior.

At a time when CD sales are wobbling like Britney Spears, the National Association of Record Manufacturers and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame have fought back with a celebration of the greatest albums ever.

The two organizations Tuesday released "The Definitive 200," a list of 200 albums they think every popular-music fan should own. To no one's shock, Nos. 1, 2 and 3 are the Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper," Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" and Michael Jackson's "Thriller."
