9. Juliette And The Licks - "Smash And Grab"

Yes, actress Juliette Lewis has a band. And yes, it's actually quite solid. Though, to be fair, it was the inclusion of Dave Grohl behind the kit on Juliette and the Lick's second album that madeĀ them solid.

The original drummer bailed before they started recording their second album, Four on the Floor, and it was Super Dave to the rescue. (He should probably wear a cape when he fills in for these emergency situations.)

The Licks have a throwback style akin to the raucous early days of The Runaways, which perfectly suits Dave's drumming style. He lends some extra weight to songs that might otherwise be a little too thin and polished to achieve the brand of old-school rock they're aiming for.

"Smash and Grab" is the ideal opening track. There's really no better way to kick off an album than by having Dave pound away to a "Cherry Bomb" for the 21st century.
