12. Skin Feeling
13. Together Alone
The best thing about Crowded House is that they never sucked. Together Alone is no exception. This is their fourth album, and it’s the follow up to the ridiculously great Woodface from 1991. And even though Neil Finn’s brother Tim had come and gone by the time of this disc, the momentum from Woodface carries on quite well here. This is not as perfect as Woodface, but it’s not far from it. Finn’s songwriting is growing by leaps and bounds here, and while there’s and added maturity, he doesn’t have to sacrifice the fun and the hooks to achieve it. Also, like its predecessor, Together Alone is massively underrated. Even though the album boasts seven singles…it’s mostly a forgotten gem.
Especially in the US, Together Again missed being a big hit. “Locked Out” was the only track that caught on here, and that was because it was included on the Reality Bites soundtrack. The album did well in the UK, New Zealand, and the band’s native Australia, but it was otherwise ignored. That’s our loss, folks. Excellent songs like “Distant Sun”, “Nails In My Feet”, “Pineapple Head”, and “Private Universe” missed the American radar. And for that matter, much of the rest of the world as well. This is a fine album. Not as perfect, and not as exciting as Woodface or Crowded House, but close enough to be an album you should definitely hear. Neil Finn is as fine a songwriter and performer as there is, and this is an album worth seeking out for sure. [First added to this chart: 01/15/2025]

14. The Ladder
Paula Cole gained label attention as a backup singer for Peter Gabriel in the early nineties. She would have great success with her album This Fire…but first, there was her debut album, 1994’s Harbinger. If you’ve followed Cole’s career at all, you know that she is rarely the same person from album to album, which has been her ultimate downfall. The same exciting singer who gave us the Dawson’s Creek theme (“I Don’t Want To Wait”) and the amazingly bright single “Where Have All The Cowboys Gone” on her next album was a scowling, dark and depressing tortured artist just two years earlier. Rumor has it that this album makes even the best shoegaze bands cry.
And to make matters even more depressing, right after this was released, her label (Imago) went out of business, meaning that Harbinger got pretty much zero support. Which turns out to be okay…while this isn’t terrible, the only track really worth hearing more than once is “I Am So Ordinary”…which hardly inspires a party. There are some good moments here, and the seeds of the much finer This Fire are indeed planted here…but ultimately, Harbinger is an average downer of a record. Cole followed up her excellent second album by completely changing course again and alienating her fans…but at least we have that album. Paula Cole is a fine talent who just never seemed to figure out what she wanted to sound like. Too bad for her, and for us. [First added to this chart: 01/30/2025]

13. A Quarter To Three
I was late to the party, but I do love me some Sleater-Kinney. From the quirky and shrill immediacy of Corin Tucker’s vocals to Carrie Brownstein’s guitar playing to the power of their songwriting, this all female trio simply rules (there is no bass player!). They took an extended break from 2006 to 2014, but they are one of the most important American indie bands to have emerged in the 90’s. Hailing from Olympia, Washington, they have been riot grrrls, punks, strongly feminist and smartly political. The Hot Rock is their fourth album, and marked a change in their sound to a more melodic and relaxed sound. Fortunately, Tucker and Brownstein have the songs and the smarts to make the transition seamless…it works very well. While this may not have the bite and snarl of their first three discs (Sleater-Kinney, Call The Doctor and Dig Me Out), it’s still very good.
The best songs here are “A Quarter To Three” and “Get Up”, but there is plenty more to love. “Living In Exile” recalls their earlier work…quirky, powerful and melodic. And like their previous records, The Hot Rock is entertaining, powerful and very listenable. Sleater-Kinney has always been high on the cool end of indie rock, and this one definitely holds up against their best work. Tucker and Brownstein have released a pair of albums since they got back together, as well as solo work and recordings with other bands…not to mention Brownstein’s excellent comedic turn with Fred Armisen in Portlandia. This is a band that’s always worth hearing, so if you see a Sleater-Kinney album, do yourself a favor and pick it up. You will not regret it. [First added to this chart: 03/02/2025]

On the journey Liz Phair took from being the coolest indie female singer on the planet on her magnificent Exile In Guyville to her career crippling reinvention as a pop singer on her 2005 self-titled album (which one critic called Exile In Avril-Ville), she made a notable stop here with whitechocolatespaceegg. Moving away from the themes of sex and relationships that had dominated Exile and her second album, Whip-Smart, Phair’s third album was a much more mature affair. She had turned 30, had married and was now a mother, which are the main themes of this record. Good for you, Liz. Unfortunately, that doesn’t translate to a great album for the rest of us. Liz Phair was once that dangerous hot girl you wanted to lay, but you were afraid she might burn your house down in the process…
…But now, she’d marry you, have your kids, and be pretty predictable. The thing about Exile era Liz Phair was that she could snarl pieces like “Fuck And Run” and “Divorce Song” with such glee and energy that you only wanted to hear more. On Whip-Smart, she started to lose the songwriting…and on this album it was the energy that was fading to black. There’s just enough here to keep it from falling apart…”What Makes You Happy”, for example…but for the most part, this is not much more than the continuation of the descent of Liz Phair into the “she was once so cool” file. And after this album, it was further downhill. Still, there is enough worthy material on whitechocolatespageegg to keep it from being a complete failure, but this is, only two albums later, a far cry from the heights that she once travelled.

11. Don’t Lie To Me
Back in 1983, this actually happened. 60 year old Albert King and 29 year old Stevie Ray Vaughan were invited to do a joint jam for live television in Canada, and both artists agreed to do it. King was Vaughan’s hero, and King knew Vaughan from when he used to hang around King’s shows years before he became well known. So there was a lot of familiarity to begin with. After the show aired, it sat unknown for years. Vaughan died in 1990, and King passed away in 1992. And then, in 1999, the recordings were made public with both a CD and a DVD release. The track listings for each are different (so you may want to own both), but this should be a joy for anyone who loves great blues guitar music. This is a posthumous gem from two of the very best, and it showcases them in the best possible light.
The album is mostly King’s set of songs (the only Stevie Ray track here is “Pride And Joy”), but the coolest thing about this is that King encourages and gives Vaughan room to explore these great songs throughout. King actually WANTS Vaughan to take the solo, to take the spotlight. Another big plus here is that there are several dialogue tracks, on which King tells Vaughan to go for it and let it out, while Stevie Ray is mostly quiet and seemingly in awe of his mentor…and then when the song begins, Vaughan simply shreds, many times to the obvious delight of King. This is a rarity in which you can actually hear the master passing his torch to the young phenom, and it is received with much gratitude. This gift from almost a decade after both of these guitar giants were taken from us is truly a wonderful thing, and if you have any love for the blues…if you have any love for music, period…you should take a listen to a pair of the best sharing a stage in the absolute best way possible.
