Produced by Davitt Sigerson, Tori Amos, Eric Rosse & Ian Stanley. The song that got me here was "Crucify", but the rest is just as good. More than any of the other angry women of rock who came afterwards, Tori got it right. She didn't have to say she'd mess you up...you could really hear it in her voice. Little Earthquakes is a great collection of songs, one she's had a tough time beating. An amazing solo debut, and miles from her Y Kant Tori Read fiasco. She is hotter than ever before or since right here.

Produced by Peter Buck. Recorded in just five days, this acoustic album from one of alt-country's best bands is a true gem. Split between originals and traditional covers, the love of country music that Jay Farrar and Jeff Tweedy had shines like a beacon. With R.E.M.'s Peter Buck at the controls, songs like "Coalminers", "Moonshiner", and "Grindstone" are gritty and dripping with what the best of Americana has always been: music for and about real, ordinary people. An unknown gem of an album.

Produced by The Robb Brothers. A truly fine piece of what Evan Dando does best. Pure pop-rock songs that stick with you in the best of ways. "Alison's Starting To Happen", "My Drug Buddy", "Bit Part"...not a bad song here, and Dando just sounds like he's having the time of his life. With help from Juliana Hatfield and aided by the later inclusion of "Mrs. Robinson", this is one of the shining moments of the 90's. This album has endured through the years, and should be considered a classic.

Produced by George Drakoulias. Another great and ignored album by the most melodic of the Minnesota bands. Hollywood Town Hall is the real coming out of The Jayhawks, with Mark Olson and Gary Louris proving to be a formidable songwriting team. "Sister Cry", "Crowded In The Wings", "Wichita"...this album is loaded. The harmonies are impeccable, the songs are perfect, and the playing is as good as it gets. If you haven't discovered The Jayhawks, you are truly missing out on a great band.

1992-REPRISE
Produced By RUSS TITELMAN
1. Signe
2. Before You Accuse Me
3. Hey Hey
4. Tears In Heaven
5. Lonely Stranger
6. Nobody Knows You When You’re Down & Out
7. Layla
8. Running On Faith
9. Walkin’ Blues
10. Alberta
11. San Francisco Bay Blues
12. Malted Milk
13. Old Love
14. Rollin’ And Tumblin’
Unplugged is Eric Clapton’s sixth solo live album. Recorded in front of a small audience at a film studio in Windsor, it’s an all acoustic performance, and is notable for its versions of “Tears In Heaven”, a song from the Rush soundtrack that Clapton wrote about the tragic death of his son Conor, and for the very different version of the Derek & The Dominos classic “Layla”. The album has been hailed (wrongly, in my opinion) by many as his greatest album, likely because of the emotional period it represents for him. There are some great moments here, but most of what you get is the worst incarnation of Clapton: acoustic and JJ Cale-ish laid back to the point of snooziness. The album has been highly praised and has sold over 10 million copies in the US alone. The playing is exceptional, with Clapton being joined on guitar by Andy Fairweather-Low and on keyboards by Chuck Leavell. But Unplugged breaks no new ground, and is, as are most of Clapton’s laid back albums, best described as safe.
The big hits are not the best tracks. “Tears In Heaven”, while highly emotional, lacks any kind of punch and was beaten to death for years by amateur guitar players in coffeehouses everywhere. The rework of “Layla” is puzzling…Clapton turns it into a kind of lazy shuffling mess. Most of the rest consists of a different setting for his number one love…the blues. “Alberta” is nice, while “Nobody Knows You When You’re Down And Out”, another Dominos song, is the real highlight of the show. The days of the flashy and explosive Clapton died with the death of Blind Faith, but his playing here is, as always, excellent. Overall, Unplugged is…again…safe, but it still sounds really great in spots, making it worth having. But if you’re going to go for this, get the DVD for the full effect, as well as six additional tracks you won’t hear on the album version. [First added to this chart: 05/16/2012]

1992-T
Produced By BRUCE FAIRBAIRN
1. Thunderstruck
2. Shoot To Thrill
3. Back In Black
4. Who Made Who
5. Heatseeker
6. The Jack
7. Moneytalks
8. Hells Bells
9. Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
10. Whole Lotta Rosie
11. You Shook Me All Night Long
12. Highway To Hell
13. T.N.T.
14. For Those About To Rock (We Salute You)
The second live album from AC/DC, and the first of the Brian Johnson era, is nowhere near as inspired as the first one, If You Want Blood You’ve Got It. Pulling songs from more recent times as well as from the Bon Scott era, the band sounds rushed and somewhat tired…going through the motions, if you will. It’s not that they sound bad (they don’t)…they just sound like they want to hurry up and get this show over with already.
If You Want Blood is a much better set, as is the later Live From Atlantic Studios and Let There Be Rock: The Movie, both from 1997. If you have to have live from this period, this one is still out there…but there are better options for live from this band. There is a video of this show (Live At Donington), as well as a 2 CD collectors edition. Skip the latter: one disc is tough enough. [First added to this chart: 04/12/2012]

1992-A&M
Produced By JOHN HAMPTON & GIN BLOSSOMS
1. Lost Horizons
2. Hey Jealousy
3. Mrs. Rita
4. Until I Fall Away
5. Hold Me Down
6. Cajun Song
7. Hands Are Tied
8. Found Out About You
9. Allison Road
10. 29
11. Pieces Of The Night
12. Cheatin'
Not all rock and roll stories are good ones. Gin Blossoms, for example. Named for a term used to describe rosacea, the band's major label debut, New Miserable Experience, got its name from the band's dealings with A&M. The album sat for over a year selling nothing before "Hey Jealousy" suddenly broke. But before that, during the recording, the band fired guitarist Doug Hopkins (who had written what would become the band's only hits and their best songs) for excessive drinking. Just when "Hey Jealousy" was breaking, Hopkins committed suicide. Another hit, "Found Out About You" (also written by Hopkins) followed, then the band slipped into obscurity. The album credits Hopkins with his writing and for playing guitar, but the list of band members features his replacement, Scott Johnson.
Overall, the album is not bad. They have a jangly pop sound that was miles away from grunge. "Allison Road" and "Mrs. Rita" are pretty good songs. The band recorded a follow up which did not fare nearly as well, then they broke up. They're quietly back together now, but they never got the writing they got from Hopkins.

interesting to see i'm not the only person here to include both brenda kahn's "epiphany in brooklyn" and kristen hall's "fact and fiction" in the same list :-)
