Which EC album will be on your Top 10 albums list?

While considering what albums will make your Top Ten list to submit to our 885 All Time Greatest Albums, surely something that Eric Clapton has played on will make the 885, right?

Take a moment to read this MSNBC article about EC's five best albums.

John Mayer is Hot and Cold

As reported on the XPN Morning Show today, John Mayer has writer's block, and is asking fans and musicians to help him write the music to some lyrics he's written. You can read all about it in John's column in Esquire magazine here.

We love John. But you know, if he wasn't so darn busy working on OPS (other people's stuff) maybe he'd get over his writer's block. You can hear John on the new Herbie Hancock album which also guest stars Damien Rice, Christina Aquilara, Trey Anastasio, Raul Midon, Paul Simon, Sting, and others. Can you say "Coffee table record?". You can read a cool interview about the new album with Herbie here.

And you may have heard that rapper and hip-hop artist Common also enlisted John for Common's latest album. Man, John is so hot. And this song is completely infectious. Check out the video for Common's "Go" from the album, Be, featuring John Mayer on vocals here. Be forewarned: THIS VIDEO IS STEAMY & SEXY! AND CONTAINS SUGGESTIVE MATERIAL. And to think, this song may be the biggest hit John Mayer will have sung on yet...
