A few tidbits:
Best Festival Band:
Radiohead
"The best live band in rock played its greatest concert ever on June 17th, 2006, at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival. "The performances are brilliant," says Radiohead bassist Colin Greenwood, "because they are so relaxed."
"In 'House of Cards,'" Colin says, "50,000 people threw their glow sticks in the air to this kick-drum beat and Thom's keening voice. In the film [of the concert], it looks like Thom walked into a party where he feels instantly at home."
Best Live Band:
Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band
"Springsteen has been opening recent U.S. shows with vintage optimism and highway thrills: "Out in the Street," "Spirit in the Night" and "Thunder Road." But he is also telling poignant stories on this tour about the state of our faith in this nation, bundling new songs about America under siege ("Livin' in the Future," "Long Walk Home") with enduring tales of great escape ("The Promised Land," "Badlands") in inspirational segues that recall the narrative arcs of Springsteen's epic Eighties shows."
Best Modern Song Lyrics:
Various Artists
1. "If they ask why we left in the first place
Say we were young and we were so in love
and I guess we just needed space
And we heard about this place
Called the United States"
("Killer Parties" -The Hold Steady)
3. "Spaceships don't come equipped with rear view mirrors."
("International Playa Anthem" -Andre 3000)
18. "I got soul, but I'm not a soldier."
("All These Things That I've Done" -The Killers)
20. "I'm going to Wichita!"
("Seven Nation Army" -The White Stripes)
