Back in 1978, Keith Richards was asked why the Stones called their new album Some Girls. He replied, "Because we couldn't remember their fucking names." Well argued, sir! Some Girls stands as the craftiest rock & roll comeback in history — after years of sucking in the Seventies, the Stones suddenly sounded like nasty bitches again.

| Artist: Taking Back Sunday Review: "Sink Into Me," the best track on Taking Back Sunday's fourth album, might be the first song by an emo-pop band that the Foo Fighters wish they'd written: Catchy, lusty and sleekly propulsive, it finds teenage-crush object Adam Lazzara telling a lady to "have your way with me," over spare, manicured riffage. The song's arena-ready polish extends throughout New Again, but it doesn't stave off the forced melodrama of songs like the angsty "Lonely, Lonely," where Lazzara adopts a throaty growl and...
