1. Rush - Snakes and Arrows |
|
like most Rush albums, you have to hear it a couple of times before it sinks in. But some of those songs really rock. Cant wait for the summer concert tour!

At first, my favorite song was "Spindrift" but now I'm really leaning towards "Malignant Narcissism." If they play that in concert, I hope they beef it up to at least five minutes--it's way too short now!

5. That is one rocking instrumental |
|
and I'm betting they will play it live. The've tended to play more instrumentals on tour lately to give Geddy's voice a break.

4. I saw that one on YepRoc's website |
|
John Doe is on the same label-- I may have to check out Ian's disc. I'm a fan of Mott, so it should be pretty cool.

6. He's one of my favorite writers |
|
He turned 68 this year, but he still rocks. I saw him in concert a few weeks ago here and it was a blast.

10. "Neon Bible" is definitely high on my list. |
|
Arctic Monkeys' "Favourite Worst Nightmare" El-P's "I'll Sleep When You're Dead" Explosions In The Sky's "Al Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone" Bloc Party's "A Weekend In The City"
A few others, but those are probably the top 5.

12. Great list, I'm sure. Not that I know by hearing, but by your reputation. |
|
I finally saw Charlie Louvin last winter or fall or something. Brilliant show.

I'll make it a little over 20, because I haven't made the cut to 20 again yet. I'm sure I'll be buying quite a few upcoming CDs, too.
The Shins - Wincing The Night Away The Pierces - 13 Tales Of Love And Revenge Barenaked Ladies - Barenaked Ladies Are Men Patty Griffin - Children Running Through Brandi Carlile - The Story Kate Voegele - Don't Look Away Alexa Wilkinson - Lullabye Appetite The Clientele - God Save The Clientele Mandy Moore - Wild Hope The Dollyrots - Because I'm Awesome Sloan - Never Hear The End Of It Kelly Clarkson - My December Chantal Kreviazuk - Ghost Stories Tori Amos - American Doll Posse Tiffany - Just Me The Fratellis - Costello Music Fountains Of Wayne - Traffic & Weather The Nightwatchman - One Man Revolution Dean & Britta - Back Numbers Mary Chapin Carpenter - The Calling White Stripes - Icky Thump High Strung - Get The Guests Shannon Moore - Evaporate Lavender Diamond - Imagine Our Love
Honorable mentions include:
The Comas - Spells The Postmarks - self-titled Laura Veirs - Saltbreakers Adrienne Pierce - Faultline Jesse Malin - Glitter In The Gutter The Affair - Yes Yes To You Lynn Carey Saylor - You Like It Clean John Mellencamp - Freedom's Road Kristin Hersh - Learn To Sing Like A Star Bloc Party - Weekend in the City Abra Moore - On The Way (there are many great songs, but I miss some of those good hooks she wrote before) Wilco - Sky Blue Sky Fall Out Boy - Infinity On High Maria Taylor - Lynn Teeter Flower Oohlas - Best Stop Pop Travis - The Boy With No Name Amy Winehouse - Back To Black Avril Lavigne - The Best Damn Thing
Paramore's Riot is very good and better than their solid debut, but will place them after just one listen.
