Roger Daltrey -- Concert Review
Roger Daltrey has dubbed his current solo jaunt the "Use It or Lose It" tour, but his show Friday night at the Nokia demonstrated that sometimes you can use it and lose it as well.

Who I Am
Nick Jonas & the Administration don't stray far from the Jonas Brothers—they, too, play wholesome pop-rock in neat packages.
Graffiti
Although some still question whether Chris Brown can regain his career footing, his third album, "Graffiti," is a solid step in that direction.
Whataya Want From Me
If Adam Lambert's American Music Awards performance of "For Your Entertainment" proved anything, it was that as an album lead-in, the woozy dance track wasn't going to cut it.
This Is War
When 30 Seconds to Mars frontman Jared Leto wants to go epic, he doesn't go halfway.
Written in Reverse
Shortly following the announcement that Spoon's "Transference" album would arrive a week ahead of its original street date, the Texas art-pop group presents the album's first official single.
Just Like You
Seventeen-year-old "American Idol" graduate Allison Iraheta was praised by judges and fans for her smoky, powerful voice and eventually came in fourth in 2009 behind Kris Allen and Adam Lambert.
Jukebox
Priscilla Renea, a YouTube songstress-turned-recording artist, showcases her knack for combining prose and poetry with catchy beats on her debut album, "Jukebox."
The Fame Monster
As if Lady Gaga's debut album, "The Fame," wasn't loaded with enough hits —four No. 1s on Billboard's Mainstream Top 40 chart, to be exact—the set's companion EP boasts eight new tracks, nearly all of which are worthy of heavy rotation.
Blakroc
Based on the Black Keys' shimmering blues-rock, few would have guessed that the Akron, Ohio, duo would spark a revival of rap rock.
Elvis 75: Good Rockin' Tonight
Elvis Presley has been gone for more than 30 years, but he lives on in what's become the music industry's most exhaustive reissue series.
Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart
Although "Doesn't Mean Anything"—the first single from Alicia Keys' new album, "The Element of Freedom"—stalled on the charts, the artist gets back on track with "Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart."
I Dreamed A Dream
Sticking to a safe formula of covering standards with only a piano and the odd sweeping string arrangement accompanying that still-shocking voice, the album certainly won't disappoint her fans.
How Low
With its tempo hand claps, elevating synths and bawdy lyrics, Ludacris' new single pulls out all the stops to bring out a woman's racy side.
For Your Entertainment
It doesn't rewrite (in hot-pink glitter ink) the entire rule book on what a pop record can be. But Adam Lambert's debut album, "For Your Entertainment," is still the most audacious, confident debut yet from a former "American Idol" contestant.
Lucy
Julian Lennon returns to music with a celebratory ode to the same "Lucy" who inspired his father, John Lennon, to write the psychedelic Beatles hit "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds."
Kris Allen
Allen continues in the AC-friendly, guitar-driven pop direction he established in the spring while sounding supremely confident throughout.
Soldier Of Love
It's been almost 10 years since Sade released an album, but be forewarned—the giant has awoken.
All Or Nothing
London native Jay Sean's new album, "All or Nothing" (his first on a U.S. label), has already spawned a No. 1 song with the undeniable pop gem "Down," but there are plenty more club-friendly hooks to be had on the release.
Brick By Boring Brick
"Brick by Boring Brick" is a complex rock slammer that showcases Hayley Williams and company's growth, with radiant guitars surging alongside the frontwoman's exuberant vocals.
Mi Delirio
Produced in part by alternative electro-rock band Kinky, whose self-consciously stylized music never takes itself too seriously, Anahi's debut solo album works best when it follows this vein.
De Mi Puno Y Letra
Carlos Baute could easily try to get by on his Ken-doll looks. But fortunately for his many fans in Spain and Latin America, the singer/songwriter has a knack for feel-good anthems that demand your attention.
Good Evening New York City
Even though Paul McCartney's newest release, "Good Evening New York City," is a live recording of his July 2009 concert at New York's Citi Field, aside from the crowd roars, you'd never even know it.
Unbroken
Searching, one presumes, for a bit of the post-pop respectability, former "American Idol" contestant Katharine McPhee tapped John Alagia (who oversaw Mandy Moore's 2007 album, "Wild Hope") to produce the bulk of her sophomore release, "Unbroken." It's a good match.
Stir The Blood
On the Bravery's third album, "Stir the Blood," the band returns to its dance-punk roots as frontman Sam Endicott's angry lyrics add a welcome grit to the infectious beats found throughout the set.
Cocky And Confident
On Juvenile's latest release, "Cocky and Confident," the rapper is mostly in the mood to brag about his wealth (it doesn't fold, we learn in the song "My Money Don't Fold") and his women (they're strictly top of the line, he boasts during "Top of the Line").
