"Unchained" ~~Johnny Cash.
5 Grammy's, some of his best songs and vocals, TP and the Heartbreakers are the studio musicians, Fleetwood and B#^^^^^&gham play on one cut, a NIN cover, and other "guest" performers.
"You Get What You Play For" ~~REO Speedwagon.
LIVE, back before they went all ballady and sappy and sheet. sum amazing guitar work by Gary Richrath, several tunes to re-amp the night. the only cut that's missing is "Roll with the Changes".
"Pure Schuur" ~~Dianne Schuur.
if you like female jazz, she is this blind chick that can wail with her vocals and plays the keys. classic songs with her new takes. very distinct voice and arrangements that fit her chops.
AND waaaaay toooooo many to mention here,,,,,,,,,,,,
"The first condition of happiness is that the connection
between man and nature shall not be broken."~~ Leo Tolstoy

Just listened to Zappa- Joe's Garage on my last drive to Cape Sunday am; That CD/album puts a smile on my face. Great music and funny as hell.
Other favorites are Wilco, Anything with Jerry Garcia, Ryan Adams (I like his band Whiskeytown even better), Jayhawks, Gram Parsons, Grant Lee Buffalo, Old 97s.

John from Billerica
A wise old man once told me"It's better to wet your line than wet yourself"
If I'm driving to or from fishing and need to keep awake, I listen to stuff that probably no one here would recognize.
Rocket From the Crypt (favorite is RIP live)
The Misfits
John Spencer Blues Explosion
If I'm just going for a long drive, I'll listen to just ablout anything from Phish, Allman Bros., The Dead, to The Beastie Boys, Weezer and The Foo Fighters. Skin and Bones by the Foo Fighters is a great road trip album IMO.
Now I have to go download "ditchdigger" great band that i have not heard in years
Wow, I can't believe someone here knows them. One of the best live bands of their era. Great showmanship and kick ass music. I saw them 8 times and each time was one of the best shows I'd ever seen. It's too bad they broke up, but they are one of the few bands that knew when it was time to hang it up and move on to new projects.
If you like the live clips, they've got some pretty good stuff on youtube.

It was a good thing that Yale University has a radio station or i would have never heard of a lot of bands. Remember Jason and the Scorchers?
Bluegrass- Tales form the Acoustic Planet and Tales form the Acoustic planet Volume 2 The bluegrass sessions. Anything with Tony Rice on guitar
Celtic- Anything by Patrick Street or Lunasa
Blues- Gary Moore - After Hours or anything by Johnny Guitar Watson
Jazz- The word is out, Jaco Pastorius Big Band -Awesome album
Classic Rock- without a doubt - Quadrophenia
Passion Play and Thick as Brick - Tull
Guitar music- Danny Gatton's ,88 Elmira- Scott Hendrson's -Torn Down House
Joe Jackson- Live album Summer in the City
Blown to Smithereens- The best of the Smithereens
and of course any thing Frank did .
No punk. I was going to recommend the Dead Kenndy's
If you need a copy of any of them I can burn you one.
"A beach is a place where a man can feel he's the only soul in the world that's real"
Soooo many favs above, but most stuff you know of. And maybe I like Al's that acid induced music. Most of this has got to be stuff you know of though. Some no (bravo), most yes (but bravo still, because it is great stuff for the most part). I would have to say (for stuff you don't know or maybe should not know, ha ha) Root Boy Slim and the Sex Change Band (as well as with the Black Stockings and For Crying Out Loud), Blotto, Bebop Delux, Television, the Toasters, Wesley Willis (maybe you shouldn't, but a fav of Jello Biafra since Prof M mentioned Kenedys), and last but far from least (actually all you RI folks should know) the Amazing Royal Crowns. Don't even get me started on Punk and Jazz man! Because I will be throwing Nick Brignolla and Anti Heros and the likes at ya!!!! Music is life! (except when fishing is life).
