i love The Police, never made a bad album IMO....but they were part of "my generation" so there you go,i guess.
and as i said before his first decade of solo material wasnt bad..."dream of the blue turtles" is his greatest ever work IMO.

Real Life-Magazine
One of the pioneering masterpieces of the greatest genre known to man; post-punk
I also just finished "My War" by Black Flag. Awesome album, I can't understand the hate. It embobies the feeling of hate, anger, paranoia, confusion, and isolation felt by people like me

On the laptop.
Second collaboration between ex-Screaming Tree, and ex-Belle & Sebastian vocalists, from 2008.
Lanegan's voice is similar to Leonard Cohen's here, and contrasts nicely with Campbell's airy one...
The songs are Americana, of assorted types, and the whole is a very engaging piece of work.

AllMusic 4/5 stars.

My husband keeps putting this on, it has grown on me. But I like the Shins so it wasn't a giant leap.

^^ I like pretty much everything Ween have released. Notorious genre-hoppers, with a real knack for good song-writing. The Mollusk was my introduction to them, and it's definitely worth checking out, SteveO...

i-Pod listening in the garden this PM.
Eponymous debut from some of Manchester's finest, released in 1984.
A truly original, and great band. Some of their records were slightly patchy, but this one certainly isn't. Excellently played, sung, & written.
This must stand as one of the great debuts.
I love The Smiths, but always find they're better than I expect (if that makes any sense ?!).
Great album.
AllMusic 5/5 stars.
