Former bass player from The Go-Go's, Kathy Valentine ventures to the front of the stage with a guitar for
her first solo album. A great blend of straight ahead rock, powere pop, and a nod to 80s New Wave,
Valentine really delivers big on this CD.

DAMN, this record RAWKS! Matt Sorum. Duff McKagan. Slash. Scott Weiland. From the ashes of Guns
'N Roses
and Stone Temple Pilots comes a supergroup if ever there was one! Balls out, uncompromising
rock from some talented heavyweights. Now that I'm middle-aged, I'm not supposed to go for things like this,
but this band is very good. They rock out, but they know when to reign it in, too. And they never forget the
melody. See what being drug free can do for ya?

Velvet Underground

Who Loves the Sun
Sweet Jane
Rock and Roll
Cool It Down
New Age
Head Held High
Lonesome Cowboy Bill
I Found a Reason

The last VU record, and probably their best. Lou Reed and the gang pioneering alternative music at least a
decade before its time.

The Verve
Urban Hymns
1997 Virgin Records
Bitter Sweet Symphony
Sonnet
The Rolling People
The Drugs Don't Work
Catching the Butterfly
Neon Wilderness
Space and Time
Weeping Willow
Lucky Man
One Day
This Time
Velvet Morning
Come On
Ah, drug music marks its return! Just when you thought it was safe to listen to those Pink Floyd albums
again, along comes Richard Ashcroft and his stoner band. The surprise is, that even if you aren't stoned,
this is a good record.

Vigil
Vigil
1987 Chrysalis Records
Until the Seasons . . .
White Magic Spell
I Am Waiting
Gargoyles
I Love You Equinox
Whistle in the Yard
The Celiba Sea
The Garden
Born Again
The Benefit of the Doubt
One of the countless alternative bands that popped up in the late 80s. Pretty good, but nondescript.
Disappeared without a trace.

Former member of the Power Pop group Candy, Vincent offers up a light, breezy helping of more of the
same. Production is a little lacking for my tastes, but overall a nice record.
