Favorite track(s): Right Here, Right Now, The Rockafeller Skank

A Grand Don't Come For Free

The Streets

1/5

Favorite track(s): an album that left me truly flabbergasted as to its widespread critical and commercial success. I can't say I wasn't entertained, I was laughing damn near the whole way through. "Are you smoking crack or something? We cannot have that behavior in this establishment."

Kollaps

Einstürzende Neubauten

Sunshine Hit Me

The Bees

2/5

Favorite track(s): Sunshine, A Minha Menina Of the best tracks, one required an extra songwriter on top of the other two. The other is a cover. I think that says a lot.
