Boys of Summer
Imagine what it would have been like walking down the street hearing the young Beach Boys rehearse as you passed their house. Hawthorne, CA: Birthplace of a Musical Legacy comes close--it's a must-have collection of Beach Boys demos and alternate takes from their very early recording days. Fast forward to the present with Brian Wilson's latest, Live at the Roxy Theater, his first live CD containing classic Beach Boys hits, more recent solo tunes, and a few covers (including, ironically, his cover of the Barenaked Ladies' tribute track "Brian Wilson.")

The Bee Gees
 This Is Where I Came In
Bee Gees
 With This Is Where I Came In, The Bee Gees return to the '60s pop and tight harmonies that defined the band before disco fever permanently branded their image. After 30 years and counting, this album brings the Gibb brothers full circle, serving as a reminder that their contribution to pop music extends way beyond flares and polyester.

Mine and Yours
David Mead
 Highly influenced by Paul McCartney, yet informed by Nashville country, David Mead's Mine & Yours delivers the kind of songs where breeziness and easy melody adorn solid, economic song structure in the tradition of XTC and Squeeze.

Greatest Hits
 Steppin' Out/Very Best of Joe Jackson
Joe Jackson
 Joe Jackson has always written mature pop songs, yet has craftily avoided the sometimes stigmatizing label of "adult contemporary." The pianist's jazz-rooted sensibilities and initial new-wave recordings allowed the generous wiggle room to forge a diverse career not unlike the more prolific Elvis Costello. Steppin' Out features a host of difficult-to-find songs (many of his previous recordings are currently out of print), as well as his major radio hits like "Is She Really Going Out with Him" and "Sunday Papers."

As Seen On TV - Songs From Commercials
Nick Drake, et al
