| One of the 1990s' greatest success stories, Radiohead came to prominence largely on the success of their distorted, ingratiating single "Creep." Drolly repeating "I'm a creep / I'm a loser" in the pounding wake of arena-rock guitars wasn't going to win them any artistic grants, but those lyrics and bouts with piercing feedback would not be soon forgotten. It wasn't until The Bends (1995) that Radiohead transcended the formula, crafting the patient, heart-wrenching "Fake Plastic Trees" and the magnetic, sunshine-driven "Black Star." Thom Yorke's signature falsetto began to operate in a more deeply emotional capacity at this point. Finally producing to the caliber of their songwriting, Radiohead's OK Computer demonstrated a staggering attention to detail, probably ranking as one of the greatest commercial artistic successes of the '90s. Rarely does a single record offer masterpieces in varying moods. From the thunderously suspenseful "Airbag" to the moody chime of the blustery "Let Down," Radiohead emerge victorious. Kelly B.

| Tracy Chapman endures as one of our generation’s most compelling singer/songwriters. Her fifth album, Telling Stories, continues the journey that Tracy began with 1988’s multi-platinum, self-titled, Grammy winning debut effort. Her subsequent albums, the multi-platinum Crossroads (1989) and Matters Of The Heart (1992), marked her as one of contemporary music’s most distinct voices, the acclaim culminating with 1995’s multi-platinum, New Beginning. The 11 song album, produced by Tracy and Don Gehman, scorched a myriad of critics year’s best lists, garnering Tracy her fourth Grammy for the memorable single "Give Me One Reason."
