1997-EPIC
Produced By INDIGO GIRLS & DAVID LEONARD
1. Shame On You
2. Get Out The Map
3. Shed Your Skin
4. It’s Alright
5. Caramia
6. Don’t Give That Girl A Gun
7. Leeds
8. Scooter Boys
9. Everything In Its Own Time
10. Cut It Out
11. Burn All The Letters
12. Hey Kind Friend
By their sixth album, the sound of the Indigo Girls excellent self titled album had given way to more dense instrumentation, and unfortunately, a decline in the duo’s songwriting. Shaming Of The Sun is their low point, a collection of mostly forgettable songs that sounds almost completely uninspired…something that you’d never think of this group when they first appeared in 1989. But this was a full three years after the very good Swamp Ophelia, and the Girls had been struggling even then. By the time of this album, they sounded lost and more like they were going through the motions than anything else. By the last third of this album, you find yourself wondering why they even bothered. Tracks like “Scooter Boys”, “Burn All The Letters” and “Cut It Out” blend into each other in a singular mess that can be best described as “blah”.
But it doesn’t start out that way. “Shame On You” is one big, bad mother of a great song. Amy Ray sings it like she owns it (she does), and the full band setting, including some nice banjo picking by Emily Saliers, works to perfection with this folk anthem that should have been a hit for the Girls…but unfortunately wasn’t. “Shame On You” alone makes the album worth having, but there isn’t, unfortunately, much else to hang your hat on. “Get Out The Map” is good, but after “Shed Your Skin”, it’s a slow decline from there. You can get “Shame On You” on any compilation album released after 2000, which is all you really need from this album…but you really should have that song. Otherwise, pass in favor of pretty much anything else in their catalog. [First added to this chart: 04/25/2024]

1979-A&M
Produced By DAVID KERSHENBAUM
1. One More Time
2. Sunday Papers
3. Is She Really Going Out With Him?
4. Happy Loving Couples
5. Throw It Away
6. Baby Stick Around
7. Look Sharp!
8. Fools In Love
9. (Do The) Instant Mash
10. Pretty Girls
11. Got The Time
With his debut album, Joe Jackson came out with a bang. A great mix of pop, punk, reggae beats, and rock, Look Sharp! had all of the attitude of Elvis Costello and Graham Parker. Songs about bitterness, loserness, and anger are the perfect vehicles for Jackson's snotty delivery, and he gives an album full of gems. "Is She Really Going Out With Him?" was the hit, but "Fools In Love", "Throw It Away", and the excellent "Got The Time" are exceptional.
The fact that Jackson has maybe the most underrated bass player in rock in Graham Maby doesn't hurt. The bass lines on this album are great, as are the songs. This is one of the great chip on your shoulder albums of its time, and a classic beginning for the age of the truly angry young man. [First added to this chart: 03/18/2024]

1959 – DEL-FI
Produced By ROBERT KEANE
1. That’s My Little Suzie
2. In A Turkish Town
3. Come On, Let’s Go
4. Donna
5. Boney-Moronie
6. Ooh, My Head
7. La Bamba
8. Bluebirds Over The Mountain
9. Hi-Tone
10. Framed
11. We Belong Together
12. Dooby-Dooby-Wah
How short was the career of Ritchie Valens? From the time he was discovered playing a matinee show in a movie theater up to his sudden death in 1959, his career spanned a total of eight months. When he died, he was just 17 years old. So, how did this kid who was still of high school age, and who never released an album during his lifetime, become such an enduring figure over the last almost 60 years? Part of it was that he had been part of the first real rock and roll tragedy. Valens died in the same plane crash that killed Buddy Holly and The Big Bopper. Part of it was how young he was. And the other part of it was his music. He was, at 17, the one who brought “La Bamba” to the masses, paving the way for a world of Mexican rock and roll (a bigger world than you might think). But he was more than just that song. “Donna” was a song he wrote for his high school sweetheart. And “Come On, Let’s Go” was a surprisingly strong hit as well.
The album Ritchie Valens was released a month after his death. And it’s really the only album by him that’s really necessary. There are a lot of compilations and tracks and scraps swept off of the editing floor out there…this is all you need. Valens wrote half of the songs here, and “La Bamba” is his own arrangement. The album (only 25 minutes long) shows that Valens was not great, but that he was developing, was very talented, and that there was a definite future for him. Unfortunately, this is about all of what exists of his recorded legacy that’s worth hearing. But he is important, because of this music (which influenced a very large number of later musicians). Many of the many compilation albums out there are inferior and contain some cringeworthy tracks. This album is a small, but important part of the evolution of early rock and roll. Was Valens an innovator and a major figure? In many ways, no…not yet. Where was he headed? We’ll never know. [First added to this chart: 02/14/2024]

1989 – ROUGH TRADE
Produced By MARK KRAMER
1. Blue Thunder
2. Tell Me
3. Snowstorm
4. Strange
5. When Will You Come Home
6. Decomposing Trees
7. Another Day
8. Leave The Planet
9. Plastic Bird
10. Isn’t It A Pity
11. Victory Garden
12. Ceremony
13. Cold Night
In a three year span, Galaxie 500 released three albums that pretty much defined the mopey sound of dream pop. Their biggest song was “Tugboat” from their debut, but their best album was the second one, On Fire. The band was led by singer and guitarist Dean Wareham, whose voice was deemed the reason for the band’s ultimate lack of commercial success…it’s pretty thin and unremarkable. But outside of that, this was a pretty damn cool band. Along with drummer Damon Kukowski and bassist Naomi Yang, Wareham forged a sound that influenced a long line of bands that came after them. Galaxie 500 wore their own influences proudly, recalling Jonathan Richman and The Velvet Underground at almost every turn. In a perfect world, they would have had a long and fruitful career. It was not to be…Wareham suddenly ended the band after just three albums.
On Fire is, in its own flawed way, one of the coolest albums of the late 1980’s. Songs like “Blue Thunder” and “Another Day” (sung by Yang) are big highlights, and the closing track is a surprising George Harrison cover. The three 1997 bonus tracks are surprisingly good as well, featuring a wonderful cover of the Joy Division classic “Ceremony”. The sound is consistent, fully guitar driven, and at times, quite lovely. While many other dream pop bands utilized syntesizers a lot, Galaxie 500 didn’t use them at all, and the results are very good. No one really knows why Wareham ended Galaxie 500, and there have never been any reunions or even rumors of one. But, for three dreamy albums in a three year span, we had Galaxie 500. Check them out…check THIS one out. They are all pretty cool, but this is really the one album to have by this band. And the bonus tracks are worth it as well. [First added to this chart: 02/14/2024]

1973-ATLANTIC
Produced By STEPHEN STILLS, CHRIS HILLMAN & DALLAS TAYLOR
1. Isn't It About Time
2. Lies
3. Pensamiento
4. So Many Times
5. Business On The Street
6. Do You Remember The Americans
7. Down The Road
8. City Junkies
9. Guaguanco De Vero
10. Rollin' My Stone
Manassas is basically a Stephen Stills solo project. Recorded with the help of some top shelf friends (Chris Hillman & Joe Walsh), this, the 2nd Manassas effort, has tons of promise. It starts out with a blast, the excellent "Isn't It About Time", and there are some great Byrds-like moments throughout. There are also unfortunately a few headscratchers..."Pensamiento" and "Guaguanco De Vero" are unfortunate Spanish excursions, and it sometimes sounds like Stills is trying to hard to show his versatility rather than do what he does best. The good songs are really good...but keep that flipper handy for the others.
Stills as a solo artist began to fade after his first album, and the Manassas albums were no exception. Outside of a handful of CSN/CSNY recordings, you can pretty much skip anything he's done since beyond Stephen Stills 2. [First added to this chart: 11/12/2024]

1971-SHANACHIE
Produced By PADDY MOLONEY
1. Strike The Gay Harp/Lord Mayo/The Lady On The Island/The sailor On The Rock
2. Sonny's Mazurka/Tommy Hunt's Jig
3. Eibhli Gheal Chiuin Ni Chearbhaill
4. The Hunter's Purse
5. The March Of The King Of Laois
6. Carolan's Concerto
7. Tom Billy's/The Road To Lisdoonvarna
8. Ghoath Aneas
9. Lord Inchiquin
10. The Trip To Sligo
11. An Raibh tu ag an gCarraig?
12. John Kelly's/Merrily Kiss The Quaker/Denis Murphy's
If your idea of rocking out includes fiddles, flutes and tin whistles, the The Chieftains is the band for you. Formed in 1962, these guys play about as trditional as you can get, Irish folk style. They're still at it, now over 50 years. 3 (their 3rd album, surprisingly) is considered a classic. In addition to flutes, fiddles and tin whistles, they also play concertina, uilleann pipes, bodhran and bones, and while none of them sing, they do bring in a lilter for a couple of songs.
"The Trip To Sligo" is the high point here, but it's all interesting and very powerful stuff. Get your Irish on. If the last 2 albums didn't do it (Van Morrison, A House), The Chieftains will. [First added to this chart: 01/01/2025]

1992 – REPRISE
Produced By LEE RANALDO & KAY BJELLAND
1. Bruise Violet
2. Right Now
3. Bluebell
4. Handsome And Gretel
5. Blood
6. Magick Flute
7. Won’t Tell
8. Quiet Room
9. Spun
10. Short Song
11. Jungle Train
12. Pearl
13. Real Eyes
14. Mother
15. Gone
That whole brief riot grrl thing from the 90’s has been credited a lot to Courtney Love. But make no mistake…this is really where it came from. Babes In Toyland came from the same Minneapolis scene that brought us The Replacements and Husker Du, but this all female trio was more punk than either of those bands. Led by Kat Bjelland (who taught Courtney how to dress and scream the part), this band got it right exactly one time. After a decent debut album and a follow up EP, they came out swinging and kicking with Fontanelle in 1992. This was their major label debut, and they certainly made the most of it. With producer Lee Ranaldo guitarist for Sonic Youth), Bjelland and company created the blueprint for Hole’s Live Through This (except Fontanelle is a lot heavier and a lot scarier) and every other riot grrl group from Bikini Kill to 7 Year Bitch to Sleater-Kinney and beyond.
Bjelland is a true punk. To the core. She spits anger and bile as well as any male punk singer, even managing to sound more dangerous than most guys. “Handsome And Gretel”, “Magick Flute” and “Bruise Violet” are the tracks that put them on the map, but there are plenty of other gems on this album. The songs are truly punk…mostly short, fast and angry as hell. All of which makes this album, even with its couple of clunker tunes, an absolute joy. The magic and pure rampage of Fontanelle was gone by their next album, but there will always be this to fall back on. Want goosebumps? Listen to Bjelland snarl on songs like “Won’t Tell” and you’ll have experienced what was so cool about that little movement, and about that moment in time when Babes In Toyland was the exciting and amazing future of females who really do rock.

1998 – STOCKHOLM
Produced By TORE JOHANSSON
1. Paralyzed
2. Erase / Rewind
3. Explode
4. Starter
5. Hanging Around
6. Higher
7. Marvel Hill
8. My Favourite Game
9. Do You Believe
10. Junk Of The Hearts
11. Nil
This Swedish band took a bit of a departure for their fourth album, 1998’s Gran Turismo. Prior to this disc, their sound had been lighter and easy, which took a back seat on this record. The darker and more serious sound of Gran Turismo works well, and it was a winner with their fans, selling well over 3 million copies. The vocals of Nina Persson, as always, are the focal point, and the band does a great job of tightening things up more here than they had ever done before. The album produced a pair of very nice hits in “Erase / Rewind” and “My Favourite Game”, propelling the album to the first of three consecutive Swedish number ones, with moderate success across the rest of the world. This was the band’s peak, as the next two efforts sold considerable fewer copies.
Unfortunately, The Cardigans chose to call it a day in 2006. They did regroup for a few years in the 2010’s, but they didn’t release any new material. They didn’t continue in the direction of Gran Turismo, choosing instead to release the more country rock flavored follow up Long Gone Before Daylight, which was five years after this came out. The band did themselves no favors in the way of momentum after being a most promising act earlier in their career. But Persson is always worth listening to…a truly bright voice in the world of alternative rock, and there are enough good songs on this record to make it worth listening to. The Cardigans could have, and maybe should have, had a more successful career, but I guess we’ll have to settle for what they were able to give us. [First added to this chart: 06/23/2025]
