Saint Sway The Black Crowes "Instant Live" cds

followed by...

1. Kings Of Leon ~ Aha Heartbreak ***** (5 STARS!!!)
2. Ryan Adams ~ Cold Roses ***
3. Ryan Adams ~ Jacksonville Nights ***
4. White Stripes ~ Get Behind Me Satan ***
5. Louis XIV ~ The Best Little Secrets Are Kept (70s strut rock! check em out!!!)
6. Devandra Banhart ~ Cripple Crow
7. Oasis ~ Dont Believe The Truth
8. none
9. none
10. none

thats it though. Nothing else was even list worthy.

Those records are all excellent but '05 was overall a weak year for music. The Salt Lake Incident alone might make it worse than even any year in the disco era.

I could attempt to fill out my list with a pair of live albums - Drive-By Truckers ~ LIVE - At The 40 Watt
and Wilco ~ Kicking Television (live) - but I still couldnt hit 10 good records for '05.

Biggest dissapointments were...
1. Bigger Bang - (a Top 5 WORST Stones record)
2. My Morning Jacket's Z (should of been called ZZZZZZZZZ)
3. Stones "Rarities" (WTF???? Not a single rare track on it!! Selling it at Starfucks was just salt in the wound.)
4. North Mississippi All-Stars Electric Boogaloo. Better than their previous but still nowhere near what these guys are capable of.
5. Neil Youngs Prairie Wind (hate to list Neil here bc its a pretty good record, but it doesnt measure up with the rest of the Harvest trilogies. A let down for me. I was expecting better.)
December 15th, 2005 07:32 PM
Gazza Mostly the usual suspects for me :

No Direction Home - His Bobness
A Bigger Bang - Stones
Devils & Dust - Bruce
Prairie Wind - Neil
Jacksonville Nights - Ryan Adams
Live at the Fillmore - Lucinda

wasnt a vintage year for new releases, in all honesty. Saw very few records that made me feel compelled to rush out and buy them

best reissue : Born to Tun 30th anniversary edition
best boxed set/compilation ; Johnny Cash - Legend
December 15th, 2005 09:17 PM
Left Shoe Shuffle Dylan - No Direction Home
Son Volt - Okemah & The Melody Of Riot
Ryan Adams & The Cardinals - Cold Roses
Ryan Adams & The Cardinals - Jacksonville City Nights
Los Lobos - Live At The Fillmore
Lucinda Williams - Live At The Fillmore West
The Blasters - 4.11.44
Kathleen Edwards - Back To Me
Neil Young - Prairie Wind
Angels Of Wonderland - Whores Of Babylon

Rolling Stones-A Bigger Bang
White Stripes-Get Behind Me Satan
>U2-How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb (not that great of an album. Great Single....then over all a let down with a few good tracks....still over-all a let down. Thought I'd give U2 a try for once in an attempt to find the grit in the band after I heard Vertigo that was always missing from them....It just wasn't there).

These are the only three worth mentioning.

And only two of them were really worth the cash.

It has clearly been one of the very worst years in the history of music. There wasn't really shit that was any good out there....and I thought last year was bad. A Bigger Bang and The White Stripes were the only real credible works this whole fucking year....Geez.

pdog Ian, I've had a lean year with buying new CD's. Just really busy, yet I've still spent a good $1k on music. Some old, some new, some old and new to me... Anyway, if this is all you've got to say, then dude, you've got nothing to say. I've got too much to say and not enough time... I've got nothing buy sympathy for your ears... It's just so sad. You either are unwilling or just way to picky. Rock is alive and well... If you like The White Stripes, know that their a hundred bands out there rocking thier asses off, riding in vans to play shows for fifty people a night ect... And they're good. The crazy thing is, it's all hidden, right under your nose!

Interpol's last record was released in 2004, it's called "Antics" and it's great. Saw them in november 2004, the best show I've attended last year.

I know, gee what masterpieces I have been so shallow to overlook....

I'll tell you what compare 2005 to just ten years before, say oh 1994-95.

Now tell me the music today is that good out there. It does not even compare to ten years ago.

now heres the odd part. Most of the time you sound just like the people who were bitching in 1994 that there was nothing happening. So the best I can figure is you're slow and don't look for music, you wait for someone to tell you it's ok, then years later you proclaim it was better then than now...
In musical terms, you got your head up your ass.
For arguments sake, who was the shit in 1994? That blows away todays snot nosed kids with guitars and a rock and roll heart? Hmmm!!!
December 17th, 2005 04:07 AM
PolkSalad hmmm, 1994??? I know I was buying a lot more cds then but what were they. I was still sorta into rock. it wasn't this one but it came out in 94.

King of California
Dave Alvin

Okay, I will. In 2005, the state of rockn'roll is pretty damn good. On both sides of the Atlantic there are great bands. Franz Ferdinand, Hard-Fi, Kaiser Chiefs and The Artic Monkeys are just a few of the class UK acts at the moment. In the States you have The Killers, Interpol, Queens Of The Stoneage, The White Stripes, Arcade Fire (are they American?) and the list goes on Ian.

Now, for 1994-1995. Things were great in the UK because Brit-Pop was in full swing with bands like Oasis, Blur, Pulp, Suede and so on. Unless you were into that scene, I'm really struggling to see how you can claim that the state of music was better ten years ago. Ten years ago dance music was still quite big and that's not great. The best American band of the 1990's finished, Nirvana and oh, I almost forgot. Green day released Dookie! I like it, but come on! Are you seriously telling me that music was better ten years ago?
