Maybe the most interesting live album ever made. It's not your typical "here's a bunch of songs from my older albums for an audience" deals...Running On Empty is an album of songs he'd not recorded previously about being a band on the road. The songs are all recorded live...some in front of an audience, but others at rehearsal, in hotel rooms, and even one on a rolling tour bus with the drummer playing a cardboard box. "The Road" was recorded half in a hotel room and half on stage. The last great Jackson Browne albu, it's a great idea that came out just right. _________________ I'm leaning on the threshold

One of the many faces of Bowie. He gets a lot of love here, but he also gets a lot of flack. I love how he can move from one persona to the next from album to album. I've really grown to like this one a lot...it surprises me how mature this album is, yet how much evolution he still had in him. This is a perfect Saturday morning album for me. _________________ I'm leaning on the threshold

This album was everywhere. Everyone I knew had it. People used to give me copies of it...here. Take it off my hands. I already have one. I coulda opened a damn Candlebox store. They came from Seattle in 1993, so of course everything they did was compared unfairly to Pearl Jam and Nirvana. This is better than the reputation that's followed it around, and it actually sounds pretty great today. _________________ I'm leaning on the threshold
