@willkimbrough, coincidentally i was listening to sandanista the other day--it’s a lot to wade through but i think it’s unfairly maligned, with fully 75% of it being close-to-genius, albeit in a drugged out way. you also prompted me to revisit "funky kingston"--he’s the only guy who can get me to listen to a john denver song.

my random picks:

roseanne carter, "interiors"--really frickin depressing record. "dance with the tiger" is a perfect pop song.

salem 66, "a ripping spin"--they can just barely play their instruments, but they’re much smarter than your average riotgirls and the songs are there.

swervedriver, "future ruins"--most of these reunion albums blow, but these guys were always more tuneful than the norm and this is as good as their early 90s stuff.

Cat Stevens "Mona Bone Jakon". PP
