IAN BROWN
Golden Greats (Polydor/Interscope)

This is the perfect FM rock record that he envisioned, to me. In my perfect world, his former band The Stone Roses were huge, and bands like Korn finally gave up in desperation and went back to delivering pizza. In my utopia, Golden Greats, with fantastic songs like "Getting High" and "Dolphins Were Monkeys," would be quintuple platinum. Another Grammy for Ian. Even better than his debut, the lower-fi Unfinished Monkey Business.
