Shelby Lynne (www.shelbylynn.com)Best Fantasy Supergroup?
British rock fans recently asked to create a "supergroup" - usually a mix of players from different bands - chose all four members of Led Zeppelin. The poll, conducted by Planet Rock Radio, asked 3,500 people to create their fantasy band. We look at the results with Planet Rock producer Mark Jeeves, and we take calls, asking listeners to weigh in with their chosen supergroup. Also: When contemporary country artist Shelby Lynne took home the Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 2001, she already had more than a decade of record-making under her belt. Before getting on Central Park Summer Stage this evening, she joins us in studio to talk about the development of her music throughout the years.

Throughout May, Soundcheck presents “Sound Off” a Friday series on the many aspects of noise in music and our lives. The series -- which coincides with “Better Hearing and Speech Month” -- looks at issues like New York’s noisiest neighborhoods, the latest research on iPods and hearing loss, and what happens when noise becomes a musical ingredient.
