1. "Battery" - Metallica
Kicks off my favorite Metallica album. It's been years since I played this one. 8
2. "Against the 70s" - Mike Watt
I had high hopes for this CD when it came out. fIREHOSE main man goes solo and taps every badass in the early 90s to record with him. Result? About 4 or 5 good songs out of like 16 and an unwieldy case that won't fit in any CD rack...Eddie Vedder sings this one. 6
3. "Royal Station 4/16" - Melissa Etheridge
Album back-fill. It's not "Brave and Crazy" or "Let Me Go," but it's good. 7
4. "Up on the Sun" - Meat Puppets
Old school Puppets. I'm pretty sure the Kirkwoods were playing guitar on that Watt track... 7
5. "Lay Your Hands On Me" - Peter Gabriel
The second-best song off his second-best album 8
6. "Mighty Joe Moon'" - Grant Lee Buffalo
Title track from a tremendous album. Not the best song, but a good one. 7
7. "Take It Easy" - Bright Eyes
The only track I have (or have heard). Off a CMJ or Paste disc. Not seeing the hype here... 5
8. "Anna" - Pure
Canadian band that never really went anywhere. This was the single off their second album. She's a speed freak... 7
9. "Tunnel of Love" - Dire Straits
"Making Movies" is a really good album—leaps and bounds better than anything that followed it—but not quite as good as the first album, which I only have on vinyl and haven't heard in eons. 8
10. "Tantrum" - Ned's Atomic Dustbin
Customers who bought albums by Ned's Atomic Dustbin also bought: The Farm, Soup Dragons, Jesus Jones 7
7.0 average. Not a high-scoring random ten, but good in terms of pleasant surprises.

man, it is hard to get you into the 21st century. if you ever dig out that disc i gave you in oralndo, you will find Bright Eyes' "I'm Wide Awake It's Morning".
A fantastic Album. not sure how good it will sound in this "shuffle" scenario. the audiophile i knew in college understood the beauty of a well put together album. (God's own favorites not withstanding.)

Ouch.
Even worse? Those thousands of dollars worth of "audiophile" equipment are in their boxes in my basement... [sniff] Can I go now?
