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? |

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 |

||||||
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. |

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. |
