Foo Fighters Greatest Hits ..... Consistently brilliant, Dave Grohl's Foo Fighters have lumped all our favourite FF hits together, including new tracks Wheels and Word Forward.

Nirvana Live At Reading ..... The classic performance by Kurt Cobain's grunge legends Nirvana at the 1992 festival saw the singer come on stage in a wheelchair and has been remastered with a simultaneous DVD release. Slayer World Painted Blood ..... The 10th studio album from the thrash metal giants is only the second to feature the original line-up since drummer Dave Lombardo's return for 2006's Christ Illusion - this time with Metallica's producer Greg Fidelman and production legend Rick Rubin at the helm. Sting If On A Winter's Night ..... Why so serious Sting? The former Police man gets all hymnal on our collective bahookies on an album which has a title based on the book If On A Winter's Night A Traveler, by post-modern novelist Italo Calvino. Sting compositions Lullaby for an Anxious Child and The Hounds of Winter sit alongside his versions of English folk compositions, including Christmas chants and lullabies. And there's an unruly beard to match.

Frankie Goes To Hollywood Frankie Say Greatest Hits ..... Surely an EP, your honour - unless we stick to the 12" remixes to pad it out a bit.

Ok, Relax, The Power Of Love, Two Tribes and Welcome To The Pleasuredome before it goes well and truly downhill on this 27-track double CD.

Julian Casablancas Phrazes For The Young ..... The Strokes frontman embarks on a solo mission eight years after the band's brilliant 2001 debut, Is This It.

And he doesn't disappoint on the self-reflective outing. Among the highlights are Out of the Blue, 11th Dimension and the country-tinged Ludlow Street.
