2008 Rock & Pop Roundup

By Lavinia Jones Wright, Erik Philbrook, Andrew Mantuano and Erik Tasker

LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy

By Lavinia Jones Wright, Erik Philbrook, Andrew Mantuano and Erik Tasker



The world of great rock and pop music in 2008 represents so many states, regions, countries and continents (heck, in some cases specific neighborhoods � we're looking at you, Brooklyn!), we thought we'd offer a roadmap highlighting some of ASCAP's top musical attractions both near and far. Of course, you don't actually have to visit any of these places to experience their musical offerings (today's technology takes care of that), but it's worth noting the national and global reach of today's top artists, whether they are flying below the radar or a Grammy-nominated sensation.
