British-born producer-performer Goldie helped bring some rhythm back into rock. His brilliant 1995 album, Timeless, was instrumental in founding the genre of drum 'n' bass--pulsating, mostly danceable music driven by clubland bass grooves and propulsive percussion. Today's rock 'n' rollers are reveling in the groove, from Prodigy's brutal electro-punk, across the musical galaxy to the ska-rock band Smash Mouth's upbeat remake of War's Why Can't We Be Friends?

The sinister threats to which Owens gives voice send a thrill through the listener, particularly...
...than Jake's "I Think I Love You" should continue the upward rise for this ska band that isn't afraid to sell out. The eels' "Your Lucky Day in Hell" continues with the spooky theme and Ear2000 closes the soundtrack by blasting through the speaker with its haunting bass line, frenetic guitars and lyrics that kill...
