`2010 Grammy Nominees'
(Warner Music Korea)
The ``2010 Grammy Nominees'' album gives listeners a chance catch up on some of the year's best songs. The compilation includes big Grammy winners such as Kings of Leon's ``Use Somebody,'' which won Record of the Year, and Taylor Swift's ``You Belong With Me'' from Album of the Year ``Fearless.'' Beyonce's ``Single Ladies,'' which won Song of the Year, is missing from the compilation, although ``Halo,'' which was nominated, is included.
While the album is dominated by pop and rock hits from Green Day, Coldplay, Kelly Clarkson and Lady Gaga, there's some country flavor courtesy of Best New Artist winner Zac Brown Band (``Chicken Fried'') and Lady Antebellum (``I Run to You'').

 Them Crooked Vultures
`Them Crooked Vultures'
(SonyBMG)
Nirvana and Foo Fighters drummer Dave Grohl came up with the idea to form a super group with legendary Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones and Queens of the Stone Age guitarist Joshua Hommes. They named themselves Them Crooked Vultures, and released a self-titled debut album that melds classic and modern rock.
Grohl and Hommes are big fans of Led Zeppelin, and working with Jones obviously brought out their best attempts to pay homage to the celebrated band. It is especially evident in the nearly seven-minute-long ``Elephants.'' Roaring riffs abound in this album as heard in ``No One Loves Me & Neither Do I,'' ``New Fang,'' ``Mind Erase, No Chaser'' and the trippy ``Interlude with Ludes.''

 The Clash
`London Calling'
(SonyBMG)
To commemorate its 30th anniversary, a special edition CD-DVD version of legendary punk rock band The Clash's ``London Calling'' has been released. This album is packed with 19 songs, arguably The Clash's best work, such as the title track, ``Death and Glory,'' ``Train in Vain (Stand by Me)'' and ``Revolution Rock.'' There's little doubt why the album has been a perennial fixture on manyTop 100 album lists.
What makes this release worth buying is a DVD with ``The Last Testament,'' a documentary on how the band made the album. It features performances and interviews with The Clash, including lead singer Joe Strummer before he died in 2002. But the best part is the unseen home video footage of the band's 1979 recording sessions with producer Guy Stevens, who can be seen throwing chairs around Wessex Studios.
