Some things just go together perfectly: peanut butter and jelly, burgers and fries, and, of course, Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake. When you put the two friends together, you get one of the better comedic duos out there today, and even though it feels like it’s been forever since they last performed together on Saturday Night Live‘s 40th Anniversary Special, the pair reunited last night on The Tonight Show for “History of Rap 6.” As you can guess, it was pretty epic. Fallon and Timberlake raced through 20-plus songs during their performance, impressing the audience with their rapping skills while also making them laugh along the way. It’s six wonderful minutes that will definitely make your Thursday feel almost like a Friday. Check out the video below, and for those curious, here’s a complete breakdown of each song Fallon and Timberlake performed: R. Kelly & Jay Z’s...

1967
Jefferson Airplane: After Bathing at Baxter's (RCA)
This was the Airplane's second LP of 1967, and on it they took the studio freedom their two huge hit singles had earned them and went wild and unsupervised, making a real psychedelic album rather than the carefully contrived simulation of psychedelia that had been Surrealistic Pillow. The result had more avant-garde weirdness than hit singles (RCA had unrealistic hopes for "Watch Her Ride"), but the album actually coheres far better; for all the stylistic disjunctions and studio effects and Jorma Kaukonen's often-abrasive guitar sounds, and for that matter the nine-minute instrumental trio improvisation "Spare Chaynge," it flows organically, creating its own logic.
Cream: Disraeli Gears (I'm not even a Cream fan and I still have to acknowledge the brilliance of "Strange Brew," "Sunshine of Your Love," "Tales of Brave Ulysses," and "Swlabr")
Moody Blues: Days of Future Passed (early blast of prog-rock,...

Team Cee Lo standout proved to be the most versatile contestant in the competition, which should make for a killer album.

Juliet Simms on "The Voice"

America named Jermaine Paul "The Voice" on last night's finale of the reality singing competition. The former Alicia Keys backup singer bested runner-up Juliet Simms by a mere 4 percentage points to take the title, earning a recording contract with Universal Republic Records.
While we're excited for Paul, a longtime music-industry veteran and father of four who brought nothing but dedication and professionalism to each of his performances, and had a feeling he would ultimately prevail in the competition, it's Simms' future as a recording artist that we're more interested in. By the end of the competition, her unique, raspy voice and ethereal Florence Welch-like style had us waiting out many of the other performances just to get another listen to Simms.
