Judas Priest- Stained Class
(I sold all but one of my Judas Priest albums, among many others this past summer, during a particularly awful stretch of getting inventory. I got most of the Priest back yesterday. Gonna hit them all at some point. "Savage" is savage!)
Fiona Apple- Fetch The Bolt Cutters
(Still amazes me. Her best, no doubt.)
Electric Light Orchestra- Zoom
(I know it's not really a proper ELO record or Jeff Lynne solo album, but I think it's the best thing Lynne's name has ever been associated with. Sincerely.)
The Knack- Round Trip
(Three and a half songs- every bit as horrible as I remembered.)
Peter Gabriel- S/T (4th)
(Saw this tour on Thanksgiving night, 1982 at The Ritz. Mindblowing in such a small room. Bringing back memories.)
Judas Priest- Screaming For Vengeance
(Great production on this one. No wonder it was a huge hit.)
The Ventures- In Space
(Keith Moon's favorite record and def one of mine. Always hits the spot. "Love Goddess Of Venus!")
Fountains Of Wayne- Traffic & Weather
(Not enough people love this record. "This Better Be Good," "Michael & Heather, " "New Routine," & "I-95." Jeez! If this was 1984, those four tracks would have been the shit on MTV.)
