To my surprise, the Rolling Stones have an album out today. The reviews so far are very good.

Those drums though, that opening sounds so familiar, but I can't place it. It isn't a sample, is it?

Hi, so as Howlin' Wolf once put it, I have had my fun. For next time, I'd like someone else to take over. It's probably the easiest regular poll (hence why I did it).

Buddy Holly – It Doesn’t Matter Anymore

I first heard this song through Linda Ronstadt on the Heart Like a Wheel album. Ronstadt has the better version, but anyway, this is one of those songs that transcended its era. (And we can thank Paul Anka, of all people.)

October is basically Jimmy Savile month, which seems appropriate. He was born on Halloween, 1926; he died in October as well, in 2011. He was originally known as a eccentric, knighted national treasure who did incredible amounts of charity work, amidst rumors that he was messing with little kids. (B...

41 | Enya | Shepherd Moons | 1991 Enya’s Shepherd Moons is like her previous album, Watermark, but even farther. The ethereal songs are practically an out-of-body experience. The severe songs (which even includes a re-arranged 19th-century aria) are like visiting an ice palace. This is well past you...

21 | U2 | Achtung Baby | 1991 U2 was so freaking earnest that I guess even they got sick of it. They turned the car around, and headed straight into the storm. The U2 that emerged dealt in irony, distorted sonics, and post-modern cool. It’s not just the music that’s been cracked open and subjected t...

11 | Pearl Jam | Ten | 1991 '90s rock was defined by a handful of August-September 1991 releases, including Pearl Jam's debut. Amidst the butt rock that had ruled the day, Eddie Vedder's bloodletting was stunning to behold. His elliptical lyrics helped take the edge off of angst overload, though. On...

Okay, so... I first heard this on the 2-CD compilation, Windham Hill: The First Ten Years. The song is originally from Ackerman's 1976 debut (also the label's debut). And it showed up again on 1981's Passage. And it showed up again on his 1986 album, Conferring with the Moon. Maybe elsewhere, too. (...

The playlist is now reasonably complete (see above). Over time, I will add more quotes and re-evaluate old ones from last time (if you're at all wondering where they went). As always, there's the chance over time that I'll bump into an older song for some of these acts.

About one year short of how long Prince lived. She was only on top for a few years, though the same could be said of some acts like Nirvana. (In Spin's list, "The 35 Best Albums from the Last 35 Years," in practice a very '80s and '90s list, they placed The Lion and the Cobra ahead of Neve...
