Lush,

Nice Selections! Beck Guero is in my car right now. If you like Rancid, try these two Social Distortion albums.

Somewhere between Heaven & Hell
Sex, Love, and Rock & Roll.

I third the Ryan Adams "Cold Roses" album, great music and great recording. I'll probably buy the CD and take it with me to CES this year.

Also, New Mississippi Allstars "Electric Blue Watermelon". It was Stereophile recording of the month and its just good fun music to play.
Dlwask,

I agree on the Cold Roses Disc. You should also pick Ryan Adams "Love is Hell" full release. It is a Stellar album. I also enjoy "Demolition" and "Rock & Roll" but "Love is Hell" takes the prize IMO.

I will have to check out the Mississippi Allstars. Sounds interesting..
