Die, Jeff Buckley, Die!new
In May of '97, Buckley died in ludicrously romantic fashion, drowning in the Mississippi River near Memphis during recording sessions for an album. Then the posthumous Jeff Buckley album industry sprung up to cash in.

The Philibusternew
While flimsy and overwrought, this Collins retrospective provides for the introduction of a great new karaoke game to the world: the Philibuster. Nothing can be sung except Phil Collins songs, and the singer cannot pick any of his or her own titles.

Watt, Me Worry?new

Wild Oatesnew
For John Oates, turning over a new leaf meant shaving off his Freddie Mercury moustache. Oates still ain't as pretty as his taller, blonder, better-known partner, Daryl Hall of Hall & Oates, but for our money, the pint-size David Starsky doppelgänger has got to be a better sport than, say, Andrew Ridgley, the silent half of Wham! Better yet, judge for yourself via this exclusive Q&A.

The Great VH Debate: Hagar or Roth?new
Shortly before leaving on a vacation, I asked a member of each VH camp -- calendar editor and Roth fan Paul Friswold and staff writer and Hagar-hugger Mike Seely -- to settle the Sammy Hagar v. David Lee Roth argument once and for all. Here, edited for length, libel and sanity, is that debate.
