“The last time I saw Richard was Detroit in '68 And he told me all
romantics meet the same fate someday Cynical and drunk and boring someone
in some dark cafe” |

Blue Valentine
TomWaits

A masterpiece from the raspy-throated singer. Musically, one of his
most approachable works; lyrically, one of his most despair-filled. |

Rod Stewart
Buy
from Amazon |
Rod Stewart has recorded some complete garbage and some amazing
tracks, sometimes on the same album (Footloose and Fancy Free), but
this is a classic. |

What’s the Story
(Morning Glory)
Oasis
Buy
from Amazon |
Oasis may not match their self-proclaimed status as ‘bigger than
the Beatles’, but they defined British rock in the 90’s, and this is
their finest effort to date. |

Grateful Dead
Buy
from Amazon |
“I don’t know, but I’ve been told, it’s hard to run with the
weight of gold. Other hand, I’ve heard it said, it’s just as hard with
the weight of lead.” |
