2001 – RCA
Produced By GLEN BALLARD

1. I Did It
2. When The World Ends
3. The Space Between
4. Dreams Of Our Fathers
5. So Right
6. If I Had It All
7. What You Are
8. Angel
9. Fool To Think
10. Sleep To Dream Her
11. Mother Father
12. Everyday

Maybe the most disliked and misunderstood album in the career of Dave Matthews…and also a massive hit, becoming the second of seven consecutive records to reach number one in America. It’s the follow up to his successful Before These Crowded Streets, but it sounds like an almost completely different band. Matthews took this moment to record his most pop album to date, almost clinically mainstream, and simple in terms of songs…which he never had done before, and which he hasn’t done since. The results are that Dave Matthews, who can never be described as average in any way, made an album that is…average.

“The Space Between” was Matthews’ first top 40 single. “Everyday” and “I Did It” are also very good and very accessible. Everyday is a very good album…but because Matthews seems to be playing it safe here, there aren’t enough moments that make you turn your head and say, “that was cool”. Matthews is at his best when he surprises you and makes you take notice. Everyday has little of that…and yet, it still stands as a huge success for him. And he never looks back. Dave Matthews is one of those artists who always seems to come out on top. But Everyday is maybe the least on top he has ever been. A must have if you’re a fan.

2. (1) Down 1
1983 – MEGAFORCE
Produced By PAUL CURCIO

1. Hit The Lights
2. The Four Horsemen
3. Motorbreath
4. Jump In The Fire
5. (Anesthesia) – Pulling Teeth
6. Whiplash
7. Phantom Lord
8. No Remorse
9. Seek & Destroy
10. Metal Militia

Metallica starts right here. The main lineup was in place for barely a month when they started recording Kill ‘Em All, their first album. Dave Mustaine had just been fired and replaced by Kirk Hammett, and bassist Cliff Burton hadn’t been around much longer than that. Megaforce Records was barely breathing when the band recorded this. Four of the tracks are co-written by Mustaine (now of Megadeth), and secured Metallica’s place as leaders in thrash metal. It’s amazing how precise this album is, given how little time they had to work together as a band. This album is heavy, it’s fast, it’s exciting and it’s cool as hell.

The best tracks here are “The Four Horsemen” (one of the songs co-written by Mustaine) and “Seek And Destroy”…the track that really defined the future of the band. Burton’s genius is shown on his “(Anesthesia) - Pulling Teeth”, a four plus minute bass solo that’s absolutely listenable. James Hetfield snarls throughout this record, and Lars Ulrich shows why he is maybe the best metal drummer there is. Metallica just got better, though. Master Of Puppets, Ride The Lightning & And Justice For All built and improved on what they did here. This is an essential album by what may be metal’s most essential band.

1992 – CRACKPOT RECORDS
Produced By PAUL PACIFIC

1. Son (We’ve Kept The Room Just The Way You Left It)
2. Easy To Be Hard
3. Shooting Star
4. Back Street Girl
5. Cowboy Song

I do not care what you say. Golden Smog is the greatest supergroup in the history of ever. Ever. Why? Because they have never taken themselves seriously. Because they don’t care that membership in the group is fluid. And because they do it all with a sense of humor that music should have a lot more of. On Golden Smog is an EP. It’s only 22 minutes long, and it consists of only cover songs. The band members all use fake names, and the lead vocals on the last track are by a roadie. And it’s cool as hell. The lineage of Golden Smog is as impressive as anything in rock, and the fact that they really don’t seem to care if you’ve heard of Golden Smog or not seems to make it all the better.

The first track is from an unknown band called Michaelangelo. “Easy To Be Hard”, from Hair, is sung by Gary Louris of The Jayhawks. Dave Pirner of Soul Asylum handles Bad Company’s “Shooting Star”. “Back Street Girl” is a Stones cover. And bringing in a Soul Asylum roadie to sing Thin Lizzy’s “Cowboy Song” is just awesome. It’s cool, but not perfect…there would be so much more great music from these guys, but On Golden Smog is the most fun you will ever have with a supergroup. Players here are from The Jayhawks, Run Westy Run, Soul Asylum, and The Replacements. The recurring theme is that they’re Minneapolis bands. Imperfect as it is…you should know Golden Smog. Because they are fun, and they make music…just because.

4. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
5. Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting

7. Bennie And The Jets

9. Border Song
10. Crocodile Rock

11. Candle In The Wind

This was one of the essential albums of my youth. Elton John has been a huge star since what seems like the dawn of time…but his best songs came in the first half of the 1970’s. And this greatest hits collection from 1974 explains it all. Elton was everywhere back then, and he had the songs to back it up. This compilation is flawless, and every song was huge in its own right. Elton made some stunning albums back then, but these were the inescapable hits…and they were all cool. In the world of greatest hits album, this one is right up there with the first one by the Eagles in 1976. There have been many since, but this is truly the one to have.

After this run of perfection, Elton still had hits, but they weren’t of this caliber. And the many packages released over the years are going to have songs you don’t particularly want. But this one is just perfect, just right. It’s also out of print, because his later hits albums had more recent material. So if you see this one, snatch it up. It’s short, to the point, and as great as a compilation can be. Mine is the DCC Compact Classics Gold Disc, which is why it includes “Candle In The Wind”. Hopefully, one day, this will be re-issued, because it truly is the ultimate best of from Elton John. Compilations just don’t get better than this one.

2009 – VAGRANT
Produced By AARON OLDER, EDWARD SHARPE & NICOLO AGLIETTI

1. 40 Day Dream
2. Janglin’
3. Up From Below
4. Carries On
5. Jade!
6. Home
7. Desert Song
8. Black Water
9. Come In Please
10. Simplest Love
11. Kisses Over Babylon
12. Brother
13. Om Nashi Me

Not gonna lie. My first impression of this band was “I bet they don’t smell very good”. They looked and kinda sounded like dirty hippies. But even though I may have been right about that, their debut album Up From Below has some really great high moments, and some truly great musicianship. It does sound like a collective of hippies…because it really is just that. There is not actual Edward Sharpe…Alex Ebert takes on that fictitious name with the band as their front man. And there is some real charm that comes with this band. And no, the cd case does not smell of patchouli. But it wouldn’t be a surprise if it did.

This large 10+ piece band puts together some great moments. “Home” is the centerpiece, and the best song here. “40 Day Dream” and “Kisses Over Babylon” are also highlights. But there is also a lot of filler here, and the Zeros use what feels like a lot more horns and busy miscellaneous instrumentation than is needed. A lot of this music seems crowded and over played. 4 guitar players, horns, massive percussion…it gets hard to keep in line. They released three albums after this, with the next two faring much better before their last disc failed to make an impression. This band has some great ideas, but they just seem to fall short in executing most of them.
