54 GRACE POTTER AND THE NOCTURNALS

The biggest thing to come out of Vermont since Phish, or maybe Ben & Jerry’s, the young, sexy, and big-voiced Grace Potter has paid her dues in the jamband circuit, thrilling newbies with tunes that meld Neil Young and Etta James, and blistering shows that channel Crazy Horse. With their new album for Hollywood Records, she and The Nocturnals are making a play for the big time with stomping rockers and sweeping ballads.

47 ANIMAL COLLECTIVE

With mysterious names, masked performances and psychedelic shows, Animal Collective is one of a handful of bands leading the charge into the realm of modern avant-garde rock. Equally fanatic about studio perfection as it is about loose, improvised stage performance, Animal Collective keeps fans new and old on their respective toes. John Adamian follows the band down a rabbit hole and into a world all its own.
