Alan Parsons Project - I Robot
I didn't own any, and I thought I should. Some of it is good.  Some of it is not so good.  I wonder if Asimov was a fan?
 
Boston - Boston
You can't front on Brad Delp. Or his moustache.  I know I, for one, have got more than a feeling.
 
Brad - Welcome To Discovery Park
I liked their first two albums. Curious to hear what they did without major label money.
 
Hall & Oates - Rock & Soul Part 1 (Greatest Hits)
Dude. Shut up. "I Can't Go For That"? "Private Eyes"? Don't front.
 
Idlewild - 100 Broken Windows
I think the evil ex stole this one. I listened to it last night and it still rocks. Reminds me very much of the tumultuous summer of 2001.
 
Jamiroquai - Traveling Without Moving
Dude. Shut up. That Jay Kay guy is a Stevie Wonder wanna be assclown, but the music ain't half bad.
 
The Juan Maclean - Less Than Human
From what I understand, this is going to be house music. I fucking hate house music. But I liked John Maclean from his tenure in Six Finger Satellite, which is one of my all-time favorite bands. We'll see.
 
Morrissey - Your Arsenal
I hate Morrissey! Why did I buy this? Because...I think I'm starting to like Morrissey. Same way I've started to like one of my other olde-tyme nemeses, Depeche Mode. And Lynyrd Skynyrd.
 
No Doubt - The Singles 1992-2000
Dude. Shut up. I'm not even going to try to explain this one. You should also know that I have an unironically purchased Destiny's Child CD in my collection.
 
Phoenix - Alphabetical
These guys are Frenchies, right? I think their live shit is superior to their recorded shit, but that "Everything Is Everything" song rules regardless.
 
Sahara Hotnights - Jennie Bomb
I want to like this band. I am going to try again to like this band. I trust Swedes to make good rock & roll.
 
Scorpions - Blackout
This album cover totally freaked me out when I was a kid. (See also Van Halen - Fair Warning; Kiss - Dynasty)
 
Shelby  Lynne - I Am Shelby Lynne
I owned this album once before but sold it for crack money. White girl sings in the Green style.
 
Tricky - Pre-Millennium Tension
I wonder if Tricky still feels tense now since Y2K proved to be a bust?
 
Wilco - Summerteeth
I've been admittedly slow in getting on the Wilco bandwagon. I saw them on the Yankee Hotel Foxtrot tour, but this is the first album of theirs that I've ever owned.

Didn't Lauryn Hill cover 'Everything is Everything?', or am I just making wild assumptions again?

Her song came first. Same title, totally different songs though.

a. Your comment about "Pre-Millenium Tension" hurts me in my soul. That is hands-down one of my all time favourite records.

b. Maybe you just missed the boat on that one, coming too late? (<---smacktalk)

Yesss... you will soon be a Morrissey fan. Don't deny it. You Are The Quarry is the SHIT, man. Get it.

That's actually what started turning me to the dark side...the Morrisside...

So you're saying there's something wrong with being a DJ that happens to be in some band that is on some label that almost signed Interpol? :)

I've never not liked "How Soon Is Now". Johnny Marr is the shit. That said, until recently, I found Morrissey's bellyaching was too much to handle. Now, I don't give a rip.
