Death From Above 1979 -- You're A Woman, I'm a Machine

  This Six Finger Satellite-d duo does a cute homage to the original Noise Punkers, but honestly I can't remember any of their tunes except mega hit Black History Month.

The Stone Roses

  The album that put New Wave music on it's knees, it marked the end of a genre and the beginning of a new era, if you've never heard this before, which I hopefully doubt, listen to it RIGHT NOW!

The Four Seasons -- Edizione d'Oro

  This double album set spans the Four Seasons career from 62' to 68'.  There's a Spectorized quality to the Season's early hit, but their sound couldn't go too far, and god knows they tried to keep up with the times, but could hardly compete with their contemporaries.

Echo & The Bunnymen

  Sorry, I usually really love this band, but this U2 sounding piece of sh*t, "is fit for the pit!" 

The Datsuns

  A resurgence of 70's style Metal ... just think of a modernized Led Zeppelin.  Although the album is fun and pretty good, the only number to really write home about is the Garage Punk Harmonic Generator.

Smashing Pumpkins -- Siamese Dream

  Even though this album marks their height of popularity and borderlined jock-rock at the time ... I love it ... it's got a bitchin' Shoegazed Paisley Psychedelia sound to it that catches you off guard and demands to be taken seriously.

Depeche Mode -- Violator

  This is in my mind the ultimate Depeche Mode album ... it just has that feeling of the culmination of what they've been doing all those years and here's the plateau!
