The Zombies -- Odessey and Oracle

  Baroque popped bizarro Beach Boys-esque masterwork by, what I like to think of as 60's indie rock band, The Zombies, who quickly fizzled out before its release, and refused to reform at any cost after Time Of The Season became a major hit ... man I will never forget this album for the sole reason that I, now resentfully, traded this record for a Jam bootleg double LP, who I was far more interested in, in those days, which ended up not playing well or sounding any good at all, it felt like a dirty trick from my best buddy at the time, I'd say live and learn, but I hate that saying, it was just one of those life mistakes.

Stiff Little Fingers -- Inflammable Material

  I have a love/ hate relationship with the Stiff Little Fingers style of pub punk, but this album does capture their best moments ... hands down!
