In no particular order:

Jeff Buckley - Grace
- A bit of mix'n'match styles, but an amazing talent. "Last Goodbye" is worth the price of the CD alone. "Lover You Should Have Come Over" and "Halleluja" are excellent as well. The Legacy Edition also includes one of my favorites, "Forget Her." It is a shame that we never got to hear more from him.

Guns N Roses - Appetite for Destruction
- Actually, I could come up with 10 songs from Use Your Illusion I & II that I like better than the 10 from "Appetite," but Axel insisted on putting a bunch of junk in there that made UYI into two CD's.

Metallica - S&M
- I really enjoy the depth provided by the symphony. Plus, the band has gotten a lot better at playing their instruments since some of these songs were first released. Song selection could have been better..."Unforgiven" and "Fade to Black" being left out was criminal.

Hootie & the Blowfish - Cracked Rearview
- These guys are a punchline now, and I'm not really sure why. Sure, it's not "serious" rock like the grunge crowd, but it's certainly got more substance and style than Matchbox 20.

Greenday - American Idiot
- It isn't that I love this particular CD so much, but that I like the bands' work, and this is, in my opinion, their strongest album.

Ian Tyson - Old Corrals and Sagebrush
- I cheated a bit, here. "Old Corrals" and "Sagebrush" were originally released as separate EPs, but were combined later into one CD. I really like Tyson's voice and the Western style of his music.

Pearl Jam - Ten
- It can be debated endlessly whether "Ten" or Nirvanna's "Nevermind" vaulted the grunge scene into national prominence. Personally, I always preferred Pearl Jam's style, though I do like some of Nirvanna's songs.

George Strait - Strait From the Heart
- This version of "Amarillo By Morning" is, in my opinion, the greatest song ever recorded. "Fool Hearted Memory" and "A Fire I Can't Put Out" are also excellent.

Bruce Robison - Wrapped
- If you like your country music unfiltered by the Nashville big-wigs, you really have to give this one a try. "Angry All The Time" is one of my top 5 favorite songs of all time. Faith Hill's husband mangled it later. Hear it on this album as it was meant to be.

Chris Ledoux - Life as a Rodeo Man
- Later on, Chris changed his sound to more "radio friendly." This album is pure old rodeo country. His version of "Amarillo By Morning" predates Strait's by two years. Different sound, but still very good.

Need to give the props out on this album. Probably the first "contemporary" artist (relative as that is.. being a freedom rocker and all) that I ever really got into at that time. Came out when I was in 6th grade.

First time I saw them was in 1986 when they were Dylan's band opening for the Dead. Saw em at the rubber bowl in akron.

And WOY and I saw Tom last summer out here and it was a really good show.

These are all great lists. I'm going to look up some of the stuff I don't know (which is quite a bit), to add to my collection.

Here's my List:

Abraxas - Santana(one of the best albums of all time, IMO...and check out the cover art)
Frampton Come Alive - Peter Frampton (commercial...yes, but good)
Breakfast in America - Supertramp
A Night at the Opera - Queen (yeah.. Bohemian Rhapsody and all)
Zenyatta Modatta - Police
Donde Estan los Ladrones - Shakira (this is BEFORE she went all MTV)
American Idiot - Green Day (Well deserved Grammy..surpringly)
Enema of the State - Blink 182
Peter Gabriel III - Peter Gabriel
Who's Next - The Who
bonus
Saga - World's Apart (a Canadian group that didn't make it in the US)

Loved UO's cover of Neil Diamond's "Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon" from Pulp Fiction. And if my favorite song list had gone to 20, "Sister Havana" would've made it.

The mention of Urge Overkill brought "Sister Havana" to my mind as a favorite too.

My friend saw Buckner at the Southgate last week and he apparently fired his band in the middle of the show. Weird.

In the video "Come on Eileen" the singer from Dexy's Midnight Runners fired the drummer during one of the breaks, they had another drummer in some of the B Rolls they shot the next day, so they sport two different drummers during the video.
