The Dead Weather – Open Up (That’s Enough) b/w Rough Detective
I'd consider Jack White to be on of the most unlikely musicians to break through to the mainstream. Not because of his talent - I believe that is undisputed - but because the abrasive nature of his early recordings didn't scream out "Crossover Hit". Nevertheless, Jack...

Pixies – EP2
The Pixies could do no wrong throughout their initial run in the late 80's / early 90's, so 10 years ago they reformed to much larger crowds and gushing accolades. The only problem for me was that there was almost no new material forthcoming - 1 original ("Bam Thwok")...
