41. Bowling For Soup - Drunk Enough To Dance
A suggestion from the 8ballradio.com chatterbox, Drunk Enough to Dance is a fun ass disc. No one is going to call Drunk Enough to Dance one of the greatest discs ever but the killer hooks are strong enough to have you singing them all damn day. They are a less obnoxious/more talented Blink-182.

Standout tracks include "She's Got a Boyfriend Now," "Emily," & "Life After Lisa."

40. David Gray – A New Day at Midnight
The follow up to 1999's White Ladder, Gray is back and a lot looser than in its chart topping predecessor. Losing some of the more digital moments was a good move for Gray in my opinion.

Standout tracks include "The Other Side," "Last Boat to America," & "December."

38. India Arie – Voyage to India
Following all her Grammy nominations for 2001's Acoustic Soul, Arie definitely is striking while the iron is hot. She must have learned a thing or two from Lauren Hill on what not to do career wise. Where Hill has run from the spotlight, Arie just moves closer and closer to it, especially with Voyage to India. With her improving songwriting and amazing voice, Arie shines on her sophomore effort.

Standout tracks include "Good Man," "Complicated Man," & "Talk to Her."

34. Tribe of Judah – Exit Elvis
Along with Jurassic 5, one of the few discs that make you sit back and not just listen to what is being sung, but actually think about it as well. Tribe of Judah is the brainchild of Gary Cherone and his new creative output since leaving Van Halen. Cherone sticks to his roots with a guitar driven CD but also mixes in some electronic elements to keep his sound fresh and relevant.

Standout tracks include "Ambiguous Headdress," "Thanks for Nothing," "Suspension of Disbelief," & the epic rock opera-esque, "Exit Elvis."

33. Ok Go – Ok Go
Smart, Fun, Catchy; all describe Ok Go's debut CD. OK Go pretty much ends the myth that fun rock music has to be dumb. Think David Lee Roth before the peroxide destroyed what little mind he had.

Standout tracks include "Get Over It," "You're So Damn Hot," & "There's a Fire."

32. Our Lady Peace – Gravity
Everyone has heard "Superman's Dead." I have no doubt about it but did anyone realize how good of a band Our Lady Peace is? I never did until I saw them in concert and realized how many songs I knew and enjoyed. Gravity is no different and in fact better. With big guitar sound, Our Lady Peace can definitely help bring rock all the way back to the head of music.

Standout tracks include "Innocent," "Do You Like It," "A Story About a Girl," & "Somewhere Out There."

31. David Bowie – Heathen
Nothing has changed. Everything has changed. With these telling first track lyrics of Heathen, Bowie launches what is his most promising work since his 1993 critically acclaimed (and commercially-snubbed-in-the-U.S.) album "Black Tie White Noise." Ladies and Gents get excited. Bowie has stopped tinkering around for a change and decided to pseudo-satisfy our collective craving for "Sound and Vision IV." Bowie has done what he does best: rip off other people's sound and make it better and fresh and distinctly David Bowie - or at least, the latest reincarnation of David Bowie at the time. Except this time, he ripped off himself.

Standout tracks include "Slow Burn" and "Gemini Spacecraft."

30. Audioslave – Audioslave
What do you get when you put the voice & lyrics of Soundgarden with the music of Rage Against The Machine? Apparently exactly what you would expect if you mixed the two. The super group Audioslave, comprised of said parts, breaks no new ground but it is not a bad thing. Cornell still has the best voice in rock music and the former Rage members' skills are in the forefront with guitarist Tom Morello showing he may be the best guitarist in rock music.

Standout tracks are "Shadow Of The Sun," "The Last Remaining Light," & "Cochise."
