This live album by INXS at the top of their popularity should be a great deal: the tracklist is pretty much the ultimate INXS compilation album, and it’s all taken from a very successful world tour. Unfortunately, this just doesn’t work. The 16 songs are pulled from 14 different tour stops, and it sounds pieced together. And the sound itself is atrocious. This album sounds more like it was recorded on a fan cell phone (from 1990) than it sounds like a professional recording. Which is too bad, because it sounds like underneath it all might have been some pretty good performances. Live Baby Live sounds bad, and it’s tediously long.

The popularity of INXS took a nosedive the following year, thanks to the emergence of grunge. The band recorded three more studio albums before the suicide of lead singer Michael Hutchence. The only other live album from INXS was 1993’s Live At Barker Hanger, an even longer affair recorded at a small show at the Santa Monica airport. Live Baby Live was, unfortunately, the beginning of a slow decline for INXS. Wish there was a better live album out there from them. Unfortunately, this will have to do.

The Doobie Brothers always had a kind of Southern New Orleans tinge to their music, but they were, in fact, a very California band. In the early years, they were favorites of the Hells Angels, and were led by Tom Johnston, a true rocker, who kept an edge to their sound. Later, after Johnston had his role diminished due to exhaustion and health issues, the band brought in Jeff “Skunk:” Baxter and Michael MacDonald from Steely Dan, changing the band’s sound entirely. But this is the Doobies at their early best. It showcases the band’s early ability to crank out hit singles, and gives at look at them at their best…and their most unspectacular. With two songwriters in Johnston and Patrick Simmons, they nonetheless included three covers on this album, surprising given the abilities they had.

The album contains three hits: Johnston’s “Listen To The Music” and “Rockin’ Down The Highway” are excellent. “Jesus Is Just Alright” follows the earlier version by The Byrds almost to the letter. From there, the quality of material drops. The two Simmons contributions, “Mamaloi” and “Toulouse Street” are average at best. “Cotton Mouth” is from, of all people, Seals & Crofts. Nothing else stands out, and although the playing is exceptional, there’s nothing outside of the three hits that will really grab you. Particularly in the early days, this is a band whose singles are great but surrounded by filler. A better way to experience the early days of this band is on Best Of The Doobies, which leaves the filler behind.

Ah, Britpop. Inside In/Inside Out is the clumsily titled debut album from The Kooks, a kind of breath of fresh air for rock and roll in the latter half of the 2000’s. The Kooks are high energy, but it’s the right kind of energy in a sea of mopey and intelligent sounding bands. Their sound is very modern, but you can hear the influence of the 60’s British Invasion constantly trying to break free from their sound. The band has had big mainstream success for good reason: they write unbelievably catchy good songs that simply can’t be denied. Unfortunately, they have been a hit pretty much everywhere in the world except for the US, where this album has yet to reach gold status.

Although Inside In/Inside Out is not perfect, it’s a solid and exciting debut. “Ooh La”, “Eddie’s Gun”, “Sofa Song”, “She Moves In Her Owen Way”…all would have been nice, fresh additions to the American charts, which have been loaded with garbage for years. No matter…The Kooks are still at it, with two more albums out since then. Luke Pritchard’s very English vocals can be a chore, but if you can dig that, you’ll like this strong debut album a lot.

Yeah, this is some odd stuff. The mastermind behind King Crimson, Robert Fripp, puts out a record that includes 17 guitar players, one female vocalist and one viola. This is what's called musician's music. Play it live, and your audience will include pretty much nothing but guitar players curious about how this works, and no one else.

The songs are actually songs, and you won't find much in the way of solos, which is good...it's not a wankfest. The vocals are sparse, sung only on a few songs a capella. Show Of Hands is really a lot better than it sounds on paper, but you probably won't dig it much unless you play yourself. Still, surprisingly listenable and far more entertaining than the lineup would suggest.

Warehouse is the 7th and final album from Minnesota's indie rock heroes Husker Du. A trio with 2 main songwriters, Bob Mould and Grant Hart, they were one of the first underground bands to get a major record deal, but they are better known for their internal fighting, which led to the breakup. Mould had famously told Hart, "You will never have more than 45% of the writing credits on any album". They broke up on tour for this album, with Hart having drug problems. Mould went on to form Sugar.

As for Warehouse, it's a double album which should have been pared down to a single. It's more polished than their previous work, which works well in spots but not so much in others. "Could You Be The One" and "Ice Cold Ice" are the standouts. They had grown in their approach by this time, but the in-fighting is as palpable as it is on the White Album. Not the best farewell album, but still worth a listen...just keep the remote handy to change tracks.

I thought you had forgotten R.E.M. but here they are. Master of Puppets are ranked very low but why not ;)
