JoseReyesMVP's List:
10- The Verlaines-everything. jinglejanglejanglejing.
9 - Rory Gallagher- Deuce ('71) blues and more. my all time favorite white boy blues guitarist.
8 - The Haynes Boys-Guardian Angel ('96) before Tim Easton went solo. still his best work.
7 - The Only Children-Change Of Living ('04) former emo-screamo dude get's his Wilco/Band/Stones groove on.
6 - The Long Ryders-State Of Our Union ('85) take no country/RAWK prisoners. use this as a template
5 - The J. Geils Band-Full House ('72) the Geils Band Live.holyfuckinshit.
4 - Superchunk -Foolish ('94) buncha young punk rockers from North Carolina finally grew up with this masterpiece.
3 - The Mekons - The Mekons Rock'n'Roll ('89) railing against the music industry and anything else that got in their way
2 - Prisonshake- The Roaring Third ('93) fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
1 - Young Fresh Fellows- This Ones For The Ladies ('89) I've been banging my head against the wall for over 20 years trying to understand why this band never toured by private jet, never had a run on the Billboard charts, never played for Carson, never had billboards on the Sunset Strip, never had They Might Be Giants/Presidents Of The United States of America/The Rolling Stones open up for THEM!! The lack of mass appeal after this brilliant record sent me to the top of McDonalds on Central Ave. with a machine gun. Everybody's got their breaking point, this one was mine.
