Billy Bob Thornton, getting raves for his turn as a creepy assassin in TV's "Fargo," also knows his way around a guitar. He's recorded three albums with his roots-rock band. Naturally, we wanted to know what he likes to listen to when he's not menacing poor Minnesotans on screen.

Neal Justin

"In terms of genre, I listen to almost anything. I don't listen to the hair bands of the '80s, but I'm game for pretty much anything else. When I really want to chill, I put on the Allman Brothers or the Mothers of Invention. They make me feel like I did when I was growing up."
