Trace 

 Son Volt

Produced by Brian Paulson & Son Volt. Uncle Tupelo split up in 1994, and Jay Farrar formed Son Volt while his former bandmate Jeff Tweedy started Wilco. Out of the gate, Son Volt's Trace was miles above Wilco's A.M., and became one of the greatest alt country albums of all time. "Route" is the bands greatest song, and tracks like "Tear Stained Eye" and "Loose String" are stunning. The album even closes with a Ron Wood cover. How cool is Son Volt? Cooler than your band. Cooler than my band. Damn cool. [First added to this chart: 04/11/2012]

A.M. 

 Wilco

Produced by Brian Paulson & Wilco. Wilco's debut album is as close to the sound of Jeff Tweedy's previous band, Uncle Tupelo, as they ever got. More than any other Wilco record, this album is steeped in alt-country, and Tweedy gets to shine as a songwriter for really the first time. A lot of people prefer their later work, but for me, I'll take great songs like "Casino Queen", "Passenger Side" and "Pick Up The Change" over most of the more experimental side that has dominated their more recent work.

GZA, also known as Genius, is a founding member of the Wu-Tang Clan, and has maintained a successful solo career as well. He’s called Genius for good reason…he steps outside of standard rap subject matter by writing lyrics about philosophy and science, which makes him interesting and refreshing. And his music still manages to sound great: GZA always has well crafted musical tracks to go along with what he has to say. Liquid Swords is his second album (his debut, Words From The Genius, was released prior to the success of Wu-Tang Clan, and went pretty much unheard), and is the one that made him a household name outside of his group.

While this is musically very good, the main point of interest is GZA’s lyrics. His stories of street life are much more literate than what we’re used to hearing, and his storytelling abilities are exceptional. He’s been called not only Wu-Tang’s greatest lyricist, but one of the best in hip hop. Liquid Swords is helped out by a slew of Wu-Tang guest appearances, including Method Man, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Ghostface Killah and producer RZA. It’s long been considered as one of the finest hip hop albums of the 90’s, and it’s certainly a shining star in the Wu-Tang Clan’s crown. This is a smart and captivating album by one of the best. Well worth hearing and highly recommended. [First added to this chart: 03/30/2020]

(What's The Story) Morning Glory? 

 Oasis

Produced by Owen Morris & Noel Gallagher. Before heroin took over, Noel Gallagher was one hell of a songwriter. And Oasis was one hell of a band. It's not their fault that people got so very stupid over them. The truth is, they made two superb albums before they succumbed to thepressure of people putting ridiculous comparisons on them. Those same people then turned on them for not living up to the hype. Bullshit. Oasis was, for a short time, brilliant. And this album is the center of that brilliance.

Tomorrow The Green Grass

Produced by George Drakoulias. Again with The Jayhawks. Amazing harmonies, great songs, and even a perfectly chosen cover (Grand Funk Railroad's "Bad Time"). The last album before the departure of Mark Olson, this is really amazing stuff. "Blue" makes this album a keeper on its own, but everything else is just as amazing. A band that has always, in my opinion, deserved a lot more recognition and love than they have ever gotten. If you love great harmonies, you have to love Tomorrow The Green Grass.

The Bends

Produced by John Leckie. No sophomore slump here. What made Radiohead great was the massive jump in quality from their first to second album, and then they continued it to their third. That they were able to transform from a grunge-like sound to this in one album speaks volumes about Radiohead's musical abilities, and about their vision as a band. Listing the great songs on The Bends is easy: just look at the track list. They're all great. And they were actually just getting started. [First added to this chart: 04/11/2012]
