This 16-track collection draws from the considerable pool of artists who won Grammy awards in the rock category between 1989 and 2005. In addition to soaring anthems (see Stone Temple Pilots' neo-grunge hit "Plush" and Coldplay's pensive single "In My Place"), the compilation features songs not typically considered "rock," including the Chemical Brothers' techno-funk track "Block Rockin' Beats" and Fiona Apple's soulful "Criminal," making this Grammy set an intriguing and surprisingly eclectic mix. This collection of Grammy-winning songs (or songs from Grammy-winning albums) highlights the best alternative radio rock from 1989 (Living Colour's "Cult of Personality") to 2004 (Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams") chronologically, so tracks like Tracy Chapman's version of "Give Me One Reason" and Coldplay's "In My Place" break up the harder guitars of Lenny Kravitz, Evanescence, and Stone Temple Pilots. It's certainly not comprehensive -- Nirvana, for example, is a glaring omission -- but the compilation still presents a straightforward yet interesting perspective of (mainly) American rock music from around the turn of the 21st century. ~ Marisa Brown Producer: Jeff Palo; Jeff Palo; Derek Dressler (Compilation); Leslie Lewis (Compilation)   Technical Info Release Date : 01/08/2008 Original Release Date : 2008 Catalog ID : 8266631073 Label : Shout!
