R.E.M.: Accelerate CD/DVD
Athens' own return with a trashy cool offering - their most consistent album in years. I think they're mad at their dad or something (****)
The Rolling Stones: Shine a Light: Original Soundtrack
This is what a live album SHOULD sound like. Unedited, unfixed - just a good recording of what happened that night... (****)
Mudcrutch: Mudcrutch
Tom Petty and Mike Campbell reunite with their old band and forge an instant classic. (****)
Counting Crows: Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings
It was pretty gutsy to lay it out the way they did: all the rockers on the "Saturday Night" section and all the ballads on the "Sunday Morning" side. But it works, and in a major way. Some of the best guitar work I've heard in recent memory. (*****)
The Black Crowes: The Lost Crowes
WHY DIDN'T ANYBODY TELL ME ABOUT THIS RECORD?! You've heard most of these songs on other records, but it's just so raw and band-y here. Fall in love with the best band in the world all over again... (*****)
Pillar: For The Love Of The Game
So far this is the album to beat for the rock album of 2008 in the Christian market... The title track has kind of been my "theme song" the last couple of months. (*****)
Maylene and the Sons of Disaster: II
The perfect blend of Southern rock and metal - this is my favorite album right now. (*****)
Kevn Kinney: Broken Hearts & Auto Parts
I picked this up in Athens the other day. It starts out a little slow, but turns into vintage Kevn Kinney/Drivin n Cryin. This is as good as anything he/they have ever put out! (****)
The Black Crowes: Warpaint
If you look up "killer" in the dictionary, you will find a picture of these guys.
Baroness: Red Album
So far the most original and inspiring music I've heard this year... (*****)
Down: Down - Over The Under
This is easily the most rockin' records I've ever owned. It's like redneck Soundgarden. Heaven for a dude like me... (*****)
Demon Hunter: Storm the Gates of Hell
Don't let the "metalcore" label fool you. This album features some of the biggest and hookiest choruses you'll ever hear. "Lead Us Home", "Carry Me Down", and "Thorns" are great examples. Plus I think they'll give you your money back if the title track doesn't make your ears bleed :) (*****)
We just drove by the Barnes & Noble in the mall across from Cal Expo, and I just had to wonder if you had stopped in. ;) LOL
This has nothing much to do with the blog. I usually don't post this sort of thing, but, what the hey? LOL

Well, I like a song with a good hook, and most songs are about relationships, but the site was entertaining. :) I'm not saying that as someone that adores Bon Jovi or hates him either one. I think I missed half the 80's. LOL
BTW, Mark. Well see ya Tuesday at Cal Expo. I don't know if you'll see me, but I guess I'll be seeing you... row G section B.

"Wanted Dead or Alive:" First song I ever learned to play all the way through on guitar.
Just sayin'.
They write hooky songs. You can't beat that.

I had a customer 2 weeks ago in my shop (Word Bookstore) who tried to convince me that Bon Jovi was a Christian band...

Thanks for the link Mark. I should make it known that at an earlier point in my life, i was quite a big Bon Jovi fan.... I also think 'Wanted Dead or Alive' is one of the best choices for a great Karaoke song - right behind Kenny Rogers 'The Gambler'.
