Hi! Big Waits fan myself, though I've never declared my love on the board (ahem). Must be said I'm not a massive fan of Black Rider myself. Something about it doesn't work for me but it is an incredibly brave album and I appreciate it for that reason. Oh and I really like Monster! Never quite got the hate surrounding that one. Liked the follow-up as well New Adventures In Hi-fi. Don't know how that was received though! Y feel free to express the waits love when i'm around! i actually think the reason i love the black rider so much is because i saw the play in london a few years ago. and it was AMAZING! that might help with the album I suppose, though love Alice the other soundtrack album to a play from around about the same time that he chose not to release for 10 years!

(hi, new here, but wanted to jump into the convo) shep's got some good picks! i quite like that oasis album, especially noel's songs. i stopped getting their albums after that, though. One of my favorite Oasis songs ever, "Carry Us All," came from this era. Can't believe it didn't make the album www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lA3tR7eZScThe ol' Oasis song that didn't make the album that's really great situation, or the good b-sides which is probably a better way of saying it. Some of my absolute favourite Oasis songs are those early b-sides. The Some Might Say single may be one of the best runs of four songs ever released in any format!

I feel the same way about the "Cigarettes and Alcohol" single. What a shame Liam didn't take care of his voice so he can't sing "Listen Up" anymore.

The Stone Roses "Second Coming." A dark, guitar-heavy follow-up to the Roses' poppy debut album. The lyrics aren't as strong on this one and it lacks the truly collaborative effort between singer Ian Brown and guitarist Jon Squire (who wrote most of these songs) that made the first record so great. Still, Squire's guitar work is amazing and tracks such as "Ten Storey Love Song," "Driving South," "Begging You," "Your Star Will Shine" and the campfire epic "Tightrope" are among my favorite Roses songs ever. Critics and fans alike hated this one when it was released, but its a real grower imo. Very much agree with this. I never understood the dislike for this record, I think it's much better than the 1st lp.

My pick is Sonic Youth "Experimental Jet Set, Trash & No Star". I always loved this record for its diversity. Butch Vig's production is a little distracting at times. But, it's certainly no worse than the classic "Dirty".

Not the entire album, but the song "American Pie".
Get a drunken sing-along going and see how much you hate it then.

Despite what the critics say, I've always liked Duran Duran's Red Carpet Massacre. It's so danceable.

I liked Metallica's "Load" and "Reload". Probably because I wasn't old enough to whine over how different they were from "Kill 'Em All" and just listened to them. I liked "S & M" too-despite the bellyaching on how different the band became after Cliff died, it is something he would have done. That's about it. I usually just listen to what I like. Most of what I like is not the norm anyhow.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again without shame:
I like Huey Lewis and Lionel Richie.
And not in an ironic way.
I've enjoyed both artists since I was 9 years old in 1984 when I got my first Walkman. And I enjoy them today, not simply out of nostalgia, but because I think they are great songwriters and musicians.
So there.
