  It's time to rank the best of what went around and came around again. BILLY JOEL The Stranger (Columbia/Legacy) As punk and disco exploded, the Piano Man's deeply unhip 1978 breakthrough proved that top-shelf Broadway/Brill Building songwriting could still sell - and, occasionally, rock. "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant" and "Anthony's Song (Movin' Out)" remain priceless snapshots of Annie Hall-era NYC, the title track bares real teeth, and the Kenny Chesney fave "Only the Good Die Young

• ZZ Top's Got Some Stories To Tell. On VH1, No Less.

  Late in March, the Dallas natives (what up, Woodrow Wilson?) and Rock and Roll Hall of Famers in ZZ Top went up to Chicago and taped an episode of VH1's Storytellers to celebrate the band's 40th anniversary. Later this month, on Saturday, June 27, at 9 p.m., the channel will premiere the show. In the following days and weeks, it will then re-run at various times on VH1's family of music channels, including the HD-centric Palladia. So, keep an eye out for that.

• Live Nation Drops Lawn Prices For Select Shows

  They're doing it again. Live Nation is offering $24.99 (and, in a couple cases, $19.99) lawn tickets for select Starplex (I still refuse to call it Superpages.com Center) shows today only during this week's installment of No Service Charge Wednesday. Until 11:59:59 tonight, lawn tickets purchased at Live Nation's Web site for shows including Lynyrd Skynyrd and Kid Rock, ZZ Top and Aerosmith, the Mayhem Festival and more will actually cost the prices at which they're listed.

• Live Nation Keeps The "No Service Fee Wednesday" Train Going With Deals Today On 4-Packs. Also, A Giveaway!

  Just as it did last Wednesday and the Wednesday before that, national booking/concert promotions conglomerate Live Nation is back today with another "No Servive Fee Wednesday" promotion, this time removing all service fee charges on its 4-Pack ticket bundles, which allow ticket-buyers to save 17 percent on their ticket total when they buy four at a time, and essentially bringing that 17 percent discount up to 40 percent until the calendar turns to Thursday tonight at 12:01 a.m. The discount, of

  As part of Live Nation's continuing No Service Fee Wednesday (now going by the initials NSFW, which caused me to open the press release quite a bit quicker than I might have otherwise, I'll have to admit), Live Nation is once again offering tickets for select shows at an "all-in" ticket price of $29.99 each when purchased at livenation.com before midnight tonight. This week, they're throwing parking plus a free hot dog and soda into the deal. Follow the jump for the full list of concerts offerin

Stephen Tyler, Joe Perry and the rest of the gang put on a big show, in spite of the run of injuries the band has been forced to cope with, most recently to bassist Tom Hamilton, who missed last night's because he was having surgery.You can check out more photos from the set here in our slideshow.

Her soulful vocals paired with Rod Picott's constant strumming create ghostly music. This video features Amanda on fiddle and ukulele in two songs.

• Gig Alert: Hippiefest Tonight at Nokia Theatre

  ​Yeah, yeah. I know that these oldie tours are an easy target for the cool, indie rock naysayers out there, but most of the acts on tonight's Hippiefest bill at Nokia Theatre are just a wee bit older than Aerosmith and ZZ Top, and I didn't hear anyone complaining about that recent gig. Anyhow, this is the third year that Nokia's hosted this event, and the line up has hardly changed. That's not necessarily a bad thing, though; besides Chuck Negron belting out those Three Dog Night chestn

• Houston Cries For Pudge, Claims Its Music History Beats Dallas'

  ​Our ears were burning, so we went ahead and checked out what our counterparts at the Observer's sister paper in Houston, the Press, was up to on its music blog lately. And, sure enough, it's all Dallas all the time down in H-Town these days.(OK, not really, but two posts over the span of a week? Nothing to shake a stick at.)So why the Dallas talk, you ask? Well, for one, there's this little playlist the blog made to bid adieu to one Pudge Rodriguez, formerly of the Houston Astros, as he was t

• Tracklist: The Local Hang With Playlister P, Vol. 2

  ​Thanks again to all who stopped by The Libertine last night for the second installment of my monthly local music sermon called The Local Hang.The plan was pretty simple: No repeats from last month. But, oh well, I screwed that up--like embarrassingly early on, too, actually, if you wanna compare last night's list (posted after the jump) to the list of songs played at the inaugural incarnation. But I think there was only the one repeat; for the most part, this was unique set when compared to l
