ALBUMS I BOUGHT BECAUSE I THOUGHT I SHOULD THAT ENDED UP BEING PRETTY GREAT
174. Blitzen Trapper- Furr
A jazz drummer I know told me that one of his measures of great music is "could you play the melodies as jazz?" He said this whole album could be covered by The Bad Plus and would be righteous. I agree.
175. O Brother Where Art Thou? soundtrack
176. Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton- Knives Don’t Have Your Back
177. Band of Horses- Cease To Begin
178. Queens of the stone age- Songs for the Deaf
The drumming! The stoner rock! The song "No One Knows"!
179. Kasey Chambers & Shane Nicholson- Rattlin' Bones
180. Eels- Souljacker
Fresh Feeling is one of the great songs out there. A rare exception to the "be careful using drum samples as they age crappily..." rule.
181. Wallflowers- Red Letter Deays
182. Ken Stringfellow- Touched/Soft Commands
183. Beta band- Hot Shots II
184. The Killers- Hot Fuss
185. At The Drive-In- Relationship of Command
186. Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
187.Counting Crows- Hard Candy
Yeah, no one was saying I should buy this. But it's good and underrated. The background vocals and arrangements feel particularly retro and inspired.
188. Jay Farrar- Sebastopol/Terroir Blues
189.Madeline Peyroux- Careless Love
190. Fionn Regan- The End of History
191. Kanye West- The College Dropout
192. Kings of Leon- Only By The Night
Yes. I tried to resist, but Use Somebody and Sex On Fire? Those are good songs. Seriously.
193. Toronto Raptors
GUILTY PLEASURE OF THE DECADE
194. Taylor Swift
195. Madonna- Music
No, that's not 200 exactly. But with EASILY more than 5 fused albums (Sebastopol/Terroir Blues and Planatlanticism), we hit our mark. And, yes, we missed tons. Oh well. See you in 2020.
