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.

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]

1995 – A&M
Produced By AL CLAY

1. Food For Songs
2. Start With Me
3. Here And Now
4. One thing Left To Do
5. Tell Her This
6. Being Somebody Else
7. Roll To Me
8. Crashing Down
9. It Might As Well Be You
10. Never Enough
11. It’s Never Too Late To Be Alone
12. Driving With The Brakes On

There are a bunch of acts in rock and roll who had a reluctant biggest hit song. Sheryl Crow (“All I Want To Do”) and Blind Melon (“No Rain”) are examples of musicians who ended up surprised by their top hit. Del Amitri also falls firmly into that category. A band that survived being dropped from their original label after just one album, these guys toughened up their sound for Twisted, their fourth album, and landed an unlikely hit in the pop nugget “Roll To Me”, a song that barely fits with the rest of their repertoire. At barely two minutes, “Roll To Me” indeed sounds like an afterthought, surely intended to be not much more than filler. But the song was a hit, and brought Del Amitri a much wider audience. As for the rest of the album, the heavier guitar sound is new to the band at this point. It gives them an edge, taking away the emphasis on the almost too perfect harmonies that the band is well known for.

What really carries Twisted (as well as its slightly better predecessor Change Everything) is the songwriting. Bassist/singer Justin Currie and guitarist Iain Harvie were clearly at their peak during this period, and the quality of songs shows that. “Here And Now”, “Driving With The Brakes On”, and “Tell Her This” are proof that, especially when spiced by the heavier guitar work, Del Amitri had the goods. And they bring it here…this album is a great listen, a breath of fresh air, especially in the flannel driven depressing state of rock music at the time. The band was unable to top the success of Twisted, and particularly “Roll To Me”, on their next album, which led to their demise by 2002. But for a two album stretch from 1992-1995, Del Amitri was almost as good as anyone. You should have Twisted, and you should most definitely have Change Everything…all of the Del Amitri you would ever need.

1995-550/EPIC
Produced By SEAN SLADE & PAUL KOLDERIE

1. Car Fiction
2. King Of The Kerb
3. Great Things
4. Natural Animal
5. Go Away
6. Pantyhose And Roses
7. Something Hot In A Cold Country
8. Four Letter Word
9. Nobody Like You
10. In The Year
11. Dark Therapy
12. Worms And Angels

For a minute, Echobelly was a shining star in England's rock scene. Their second album, On, was a smash with the hit "King Of The Kerb", and Sonya Madan seemed well on her way to the big time. It didn't last, but on this album, it looked like it would. Speeding things up and rocking heavily, the band flows through this set of very good songs. Madan's voice is a good contrast...she sounds kind of sweet next to the roaring guitars. A good piece of mid 90's rock that doesn't get its due...Echobelly was, briefly, a very good band.

They broke up after the poorly received (but not as bad as the critics made it out to be) album Lustra. Both are worthwhile.
