Albums
Pixies—Doolittle (can’t go wrong with any song on this record, but since Brent already selected two favorites, “I’m in a state”. So, I’ll go with No. 13, and I Bleed)
Peter Gabriel—Passion (Music for The Last Temptation of Christ)
Davis, Newton, Wadud-3/2
Lou Reed—NY (Dirty Boulevard, Halloween Parade)
Joe Jackson—Blaze of Glory (Not much on youtube aside from this great cut. After his debut, or alongside it, his best album.)
Marty Stuart—Hillbilly Rock (best songs aren’t online, darn it)
Rickie Lee Jones—Flying Cowboys (Again in order to not duplicate selections from Brent’s list, here’s two more great ones off this underrated record: Just My Baby and Satellites.
The Beautiful South-Welcome to… (Song for Whoever)
Bob Dylan—Oh Mercy (What Good Am I)
Tim Berne—Fractured Fairy Tales (see Brent’s list below, nothing else online I guess)
