1981 – ROLLING STONES
Produced By THE GLIMMER TWINS
1. Start Me Up
2. Hang Fire
3. Slave
4. Little T & A
5. Black Limousine
6. Neighbours
7. Worried About You
8. Tops
9. Heaven
10. No Use In Crying
11. Waiting On A Friend
One of the most misunderstood and mis-rated albums in the history of ever. My personal opinion is that the Stones should have hung it up immediately after Some Girls in 1978. That album was followed up with the disappointing Emotional Rescue in 1980. In 1981, they were getting ready to tour, but had no album to promote. Their engineer put together a bunch of outtakes and song fragments and told the band they could make something usable out of those. The result was Tattoo You. Hailed as a return to form, it was really the band leaning back on their recent past, to a time when they were still on fire and writing productively. The album was a success, and it put on temporary hold the truth that the band was done as far as being a force in the studio. Yes, it has its moments…but it should not be ignored that this release was done with a lot of smoke and mirrors.
None of the songs here were written for Tattoo You…but many of them (not all) were finished for it. The big hit, “Start Me Up”, was mostly recorded during the Some Girls sessions. “Waiting For A Friend” and “Tops” were so old (1973) that they included Mick Taylor on guitar, and not Ronnie Wood. The album’s most underrated song, “Little T & A”, was from the Emotional Rescue sessions. Fact is, most of what was new for Tattoo You were Mick Jagger’s lead vocals and the sax solos by Sonny Rollins on two songs. And yet, Tattoo You has been hailed as one of their better albums. Probably because at the dawn of their decline, these songs shone much brighter than they should have, and gave a ray of hope that the Stones were still relevant. It does have enjoyable moments, but it’s most definitely not the great comeback studio album that many believe it to be. That album simply never happened. [First added to this chart: 04/15/2026]

1980-MCA
Produced By GARY ROSSINGTON, ALLEN COLLINS & BARRY HARWOOD
1. Prime Time
2. Three Times As Bad
3. Don't Misunderstand Me
4. One Good Man
5. Opportunity
6. Getaway
7. Winners And Losers
8. Misery Loves Company
9. Sometimes You Can Put It Out
The Rossington Collins band is the Lynyrd Skynyrd reunion. They replaced Artimus Pyle (who has been in a car accident and couldn't participate) with Derek Hess. Ronnie Van Zant and Steve Gaines, who were killed in the plane crash, were replaced by female singer Dale Krantz and guitarist Barry Harwood. The band had Skynyrd's 3 guitar attack, as well as Billy Powell on keyboards and Leon Wilkerson on bass. But this doen't sound a lot like Skynyrd. Replacing Van Zant with Krantz (who sang backup with .38 Special) gives everything a strange feel. The raspy voiced Krantz just doesn't have the same power that Ronnie did, and the songs, while layered with guitars, aren't as strong as any of Skynyrd's albums. "Don't Misunderstand Me" was a hit, but this band wasn't going to ever replace Lynyrd Skynyrd.
After this album, Allen Collins lost his wife and began deteriorating, which was the beginning of the end. He ended up in a car crash that left him paralyzed in 1986, and he died in 1990. Rossington and Krantz married. Rossington is the only remaining original member in what is left of the current Lynyrd Skynyrd. This album is just okay...nothing too special about it.

1994 – ATLANTIC
Produced By TORI AMOS & ERIC ROSSE
1. Pretty Good Year
2. God
3. Bells For Her
4. Past The Mission
5. Baker Baker
6. The Wrong Band
7. The Waitress
8. Cornflake Girl
9. Icicle
10. Cloud On My Tongue
11. Space Dog
12. Yes, Anastasia
1994 was the golden age of all things alternative and grunge. Pearl Jam. Nirvana. And…Tori Amos. After a failed career in the 80’s as a new wave singer, she blasted into the alt rock arena with not much more than her piano in 1992 with her debut solo album, Little Earthquakes, and the single “Crucify”. Great. What would this fiery redhead do for an encore? She proved that she was no fluke with Under The Pink. Once again driven by the power of one song (“Cornflake Girl”), Amos delivered a really good album that has stood the test of time, although it was dismissed by many at the time of its release. Unlike her live shows during this period which were the girl and her piano, Amos utilizes a band and even a string section to get her points across. And it works quite well.
“Cornflake Girl” kept Amos on the charts, along with “God”: “Past The Mission” and “Pretty Good Year” are also notable. She’s strong musically, although you minght find yourself a bit stuck in the mud with her lyrics, which tend to wander. Under The Pink became her only album to reach #1 (on the UK charts), but it’s still kind of an underrated gem in her discography. Despite being very good, it’s not quite as strong as Little Earthquakes, and not as stark as her next effort, Boys For Pele. But the truth is this: especially in the decade of the nineties, Tori Amos was on her game. So even though this may not stand out as her finest work of the time, it’s still a powerful and fine record by one of the strongest female voices of her generation. And that’s worth a lot.

1998 – MAVERICK
Produced By GLEN BALLARD & ALANIS MORISSETTE
1. Front Row
2. Baba
3. Thank U
4. Are You Still Mad
5. Sympathetic Character
6. That I Would Be Good
7. The Couch

It's easy to say in hindsight, but even while Jagged Little Pill was riding high on the charts, you kinda got the feeling that Alanis Morissette wasn’t going to be able to maintain her stardom. Just a year before Jagged, she was known primarily as the Debbie Gibson of Canada, as she had released two below average albums of teen dance pop. Jagged Little Pill, of course, changed everything…but the question soon became, what would she do for an encore? Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie came out of the gates like a rocket and sold a gazillion copies, of course…and a few weeks later, it plummeted down the charts, sending Alanis back to obscurity. So, what happened? Why did this young woman who struck pure gold with her angry and vengeful persona fall so quickly?
First of all, she ditched the anger in favor of a serenity she got on a trip to India. Putting it simply, tranquil, happy and zen Alanis was not nearly as much fun as the pissed off jilted lover she had been just an album before. The best track here is “Thank U”, and only because the chorus is great. Here, her once adventurous songwriting became badly repetitious, and she stopped singing about experiences and started singing what sounded like lists she had made of things she may have felt. Content and mellow Alanis, it turns out, had not much of anything to say, and her music, without the excitement of those loud power chords, was dull and had no edge. And so it was that Alanis became what she has always been before…ordinary. That Jagged Little Pill now had smooth edges…which made it ultimately much less interesting.

Ambition. Let’s talk about ambition for a bit, shall we? 69 Love songs is, indeed, 69 songs. Not actually about love, but about love songs. There is a huge difference. Stephin Merritt settled for 69 songs (the original idea was 100), and he made it happen. This could have easily been a horrible beast, but it is not. Merritt wrote 69 songs indeed, but there’s nothing tedious about it. He touches so many genres (pop, rock, country, and everything pretty much else) that the three discs never hit a rut. Some of the songs seem shaky and weak when taken on their own, but as part of the entire collective of 69, it all somehow works. The key to this three disc behemoth is that Merritt knows when to switch things up. Just when his voice starts to get tedious, the lead vocals suddenly switch to drummer and pianist Claudia Gonson. Switching genres at lightning speed helps as well, as does the wide variety of subject matter that the concept allows for.
If you want to take the position that three discs is too much to take in at once, I won’t argue with that. This album clocks in at just under three hours. No one should be expected to sit through that much of one album. But try it one disc at a time…and you’ll be pleasantly pleased and amazed at just how good this whole thing is. Some of the songs are snippets that clock in under a minute, some are fully realized stories. The Magnetic Fields has had a unique career…never a big hit, they released one album consisting of song titles that began with “I”, and a trilogy of albums with no synthesizers…followed by an album with all synthesizers. They are always interesting, and always pushing the boundaries of what is normal for a pop band. 69 Love Songs, despite its daunting length, is the band at its most accessible, and at its very best. You’ll be stunned, and pleasantly surprised. [First added to this chart: 04/14/2026]

Two From The Vault is a live show recorded at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles in 1968. And for the time, it's a really great recording. The Dead are completely on their game, and doing what they do best...playing live. This may seem like a redundant album given all of the bootlegs and fan tapings that exist of this band, but the quality of this recording and how long ago it was makes it well worth having.
And they do stretch it out here. Of the nine tracks, six are well over ten minutes long. The band jams it out, and it soungs great. This really is one of the better live albums you'll find by The Dead, the type of album you can't go wrong with. [First added to this chart: 04/01/2026]

The John Butler Trio hails from Australia, and has one weapon that separates it from the rest of the Dave Matthews clones that came out in the 90’s. The guitar playing of John Butler is nothing short of amazing. The rhythm section (2/3 of the trio) has changed several times over the years, but the constant Butler owns the stage with whoever else is in the band at the time. Live At Red Rocks was recorded at the popular natural amphitheater in Colorado in 2010, and is an exceptional example of the power of a Butler show. Unlike many live albums, this was not a series of performances from different shows spliced together…this was all recorded from one show. Butler, who plays mostly acoustic guitar with a myriad of effects, is always interesting, always on, and is one of the more energetic players you will ever hear.
The thing that has always kept Butler from having huge success is in the songwriting. His songs always feature great playing and usually a socially conscience message of some kind, but more often than not tend to be lacking in the melodic department. Butler does his best to make up for it, and the rhythm section of Bryon Luiters and Nicky Bomba are tight as a drum. There are times when you might lose interest here, but they will draw you right back in on the stronger tracks like “Used To Get High” and “Treat Yo Mama”. The real selling point of Live At Red Rocks is the twelve minute workout “Ocean”, which showcases everything that is great about Butler and ends with you wanting even more. As with anything by this band, the magic happens when Butler is at the helm creating great moment after great moment on guitar. This alone makes the 2 disc set worthwhile.

The John Butler Trio hails from Australia, and has one weapon that separates it from the rest of the Dave Matthews clones that came out in the 90’s. The guitar playing of John Butler is nothing short of amazing. The rhythm section (2/3 of the trio) has changed several times over the years, but the constant Butler owns the stage with whoever else is in the band at the time. Live At Red Rocks was recorded at the popular natural amphitheater in Colorado in 2010, and is an exceptional example of the power of a Butler show. Unlike many live albums, this was not a series of performances from different shows spliced together…this was all recorded from one show. Butler, who plays mostly acoustic guitar with a myriad of effects, is always interesting, always on, and is one of the more energetic players you will ever hear.
The thing that has always kept Butler from having huge success is in the songwriting. His songs always feature great playing and usually a socially conscience message of some kind, but more often than not tend to be lacking in the melodic department. Butler does his best to make up for it, and the rhythm section of Bryon Luiters and Nicky Bomba are tight as a drum. There are times when you might lose interest here, but they will draw you right back in on the stronger tracks like “Used To Get High” and “Treat Yo Mama”. The real selling point of Live At Red Rocks is the twelve minute workout “Ocean”, which showcases everything that is great about Butler and ends with you wanting even more. As with anything by this band, the magic happens when Butler is at the helm creating great moment after great moment on guitar. This alone makes the 2 disc set worthwhile.
