Great Songs- Herbie Hancock Stitched Up

Herbie Hancock at his Jazzy best and John Mayer at his normal best.
Go get this. You'll love it.

Great Albums- Phish Farmhouse

Most people think of Phish and think of dirty hippies standing in a field playing hackey sack. Well, you're not far from right, but this album absolutely rocks no matter what flavor of rock music you're into.
Buy it and listen to it four or five times and it will be a favorite, I guarantee it.






1. Farmhouse
2. Twist
3. Bug
4. Back on the Train
5. Heavy Things
6. Gotta Jibboo
7. Dirt
8. Piper
9. Sleep
10. The Inlaw Josie Wales

Great Albums: Learning To Crawl

While the rest of my classmates were listening to the songs on the list from the last post, I was rocking out to Zep, the Who, AC/DC and all the rest of the classic rock canon. One group that wasn't exactly classic rock and was also popular with the mainstream in the 80s that I really liked were The Pretenders. I liked their old albums a lot, and still think a few of their songs (Mystery Achievement, Message of Love, Brass in Pocket, Kid) should be on the all time great rock song list.

I put this album here, commercially huge as it was, to make my apologies with the mid 1980s after tearing up that list of songs from 1985. This was a great album that still rocks.



1. Middle of the Road
2. Back on the Chain Gang
3. Time the Avenger
4. Watching the Clothes
5. Show Me
6. Thumbelina
7. My City Was Gone
8. Thin Line Between Love and Hate
9. I Hurt You
10. 2000 Miles
