Sorted by Rating | Sort by Name5 classicDispatch Bang BangBang Bang was Dispatch's best collaboration of rock, folk, reggae, and jam. The album ranges from fast, catchy songs like Bats in the Belfry and Railways to the slower, mellow tunes such as the title track, Bang Bang, and Two Coins. The General, a classic song which made the band popular is the key to this album's success. The album flows so well, and finishes strong with Outloud. Bang Bang highlights the three members' different talents on their respective instruments and will not fail to amaze all who listen.Jeff Buckley GraceThere is no facet of this album which stands out as perfect. Unlike any other album I have ever listened to, Grace is perfect in every aspect. That's right. There is not one flaw in this album. Jeff Buckley produces something I like to call 'thinking' music. The lyrics give one something to ponder, while the music leaves much to your own interpretation. The mood swings from lust to hope to loss to death. This album opens your eyes and lets you know there really is a God. And there just as well is a devil. Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here"So, so you think you can tell? Heaven from Hell? Blues skies from pain?" It's not just the fact that Pink Floyd offers the best psychedelic musicianship, the perfectly mystical guitar solos, the whimsical keyboards, and the overall celestial appearance of the songs; it's the fact that I have been drooling over Wish You Were Here for 15 years now and it still has not lost any credibility as one of the best records ever. Even 30 years after the album was recorded, the crowd still sings every word to Wish You Were Here at the reunion concerts. Taking progressive to an entirely new level, Pink Floyd have generated an album in which each song molds into the next, and the opening is brought right back at the finale with the Shine On You Crazy Diamond series. The title track will live on forever as one of the greatest songs to be recorded, and all five songs are nothing short of perfect. This is the final full collaboration between Roger Waters and David Gilmour, and it is a classic one at that.Sublime 40 Oz. to Freedom40 Oz. to Freedom, Sublime's first full-length album, is a great combination of rock, reggae, ska, and punk. Some may complain due to the horrible mixing done at some points, or even because of the low quality of some of the songs. However, neither the quality or mixing takes away from the pure musical talent of Sublime. From Bradley's whining guitars to Bud's crazy beats, 40 Oz. to Freedom is a solid album. Although the album contains many standout tracks like Smoke Two Joints, Badfish, and 40 Oz. to Freedom, the best part of the album is the fact that most of the least-known songs are just as strong as the more famous tracks. Sublime had the recipe for success and with 40 Oz. to Freedom, they sure have cooked something tasty.The Beatles Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club BandWhile this is not my favorite Beatles album, nor is it their musically best, there is no doubt that Sgt. Pepper's was the album that changed music history forever. The variety of genres and the complexity with which they were interchanged is remarkable. Lennon and McCartney's vocal harmonies and lyrical exchange were the pinnacle of their songwriting abilities. Sgt. Pepper's was the first album ever to print the lyrics for all the songs inside the package. Now, we consider ourselves ripped off if the lyrics are bolding sitting in front of us. The title tracks are exquisite openers and closers and all the music in between is darn near flawless. If you have never heard this album before (first off, is that even possible?), it is your duty as a music fan to find this album. Sgt. Pepper's even contains possibly the greatest song ever written, A Day in the Life.The John Butler Trio Grand NationalFrom the second I started listening to Grand National, until the end of the final track, Gonna Take It, I was in a state of euphoria. It is very hard to top an album like Sunrise Over Sea, but the John Butler Trio has done nothing short of blowing it out of the water. Each track on Grand National gives off a different feeling, some of loving [Funky Tonight], some of sorrow [Caroline], some of politics [Gov' Did Nothin'] and many many more. The catchy choruses of Daniella, Used to Get High, and Gonna Take It are essential to Grand National's success. Losing You features some of the greatest guitar playing I've heard in a long time. Grand National is a great album for new John Butler Trio listeners and an fundamental part of long-time fans.4.5 superbBob Dylan Blonde on BlondeBob Dylan The Essential Bob DylanBob Marley and The Wailers UprisingBob Marley and The Wailers Live!Bob Marley and The Wailers LegendHonestly, you can't go wrong with Bob Marley. Whether you have never heard his music before, or whether you groove with him every day, there is just something about him that makes you feel good. Legend is pure euphoria and graced with Marley's biggest hits. Every song here provides a nice, easy listen. This is music anyone can relate to.Bob Marley and The Wailers ExodusCamel MirageDave Matthews Band Before These Crowded StreetsDispatch Gut the VanDispatch All Points BulletinOver 100,000 fans gather around a small makeshift stage set up in the Hatch Shell in the local Boston area. Traffic is set to a stand-still, roads are completely blocked off by fans, and the reverb of Dispatch's farewell concert resounds throughout the city. This would be the biggest concert for any indie band to date, and who are the men behind all this madness? Just three Bostonian jammers, Braddigan, Chetro, and Pete. The band that started as three college friends playing guitar with one another has morphed into the largely celebrated Dispatch, and All Points Bulletin superbly marks the end of the band's career. Classic songs like The General, Bats in the Belfry, Two Coins, Elias, and Bang Bang are performed to perfection, often with the addition of saxophones, horns, pianos, and bongos. The band offers an array of different music. Guitar solos are brought to the spotlight by Pete Francis, African tribal tunes are sought out by Braddigan, and reggae jams are put forth by Chetro; all melding into the spotlight of the band's final concert...and the crowd is singing along with every minute.Dr. Dre The ChronicEric Clapton UnpluggedGeorge Harrison All Things Must PassJack Johnson On and OnJack Johnson Sleep Through the StaticAs 2008 approached, I was impatiently awaiting the release of Sleep Through the Static. The hype had completely twisted my mind. I had thoughts that this would be a dark, brooding, and completely electric album. Yet on February 8, when I ran out to pick this album up, I was confused, but still satisfied. Sleep Through the Static is the very same Jack Johnson we've known all this time. Sure, there is a little electricity in his guitars, and maybe even a hint of sorrow in his voice, but this is not the big change everyone was waiting for, and that's probably a good thing. Jack's crooning voice works perfectly on the standout tracks, What You Thought You Need and Go On. The title track has a collaboration of some of the best lyrics I've heard in my life. The opener, All At Once, may be the 'darkest' song on the album, and I use the term 'darkest' lightly. Losing Keys is a beautiful ending to this superb album. Fear not Jack Johnson fans, he has suceeded once again doing what he does best. And if Jack doesn't fit your style, maybe you can at least appreciate his message.Jimi Hendrix Axis: Bold As LoveJohn Mayer ContinuumHonestly, the first time I heard this, I was bored to death. But, after time, as all things do, the lovely Continuum just grew on me until I loved it. Mayer plays the blues the way he could never play pop, and he is a damn good guitarist. There are virtually NO low points on this album, Mayer's lyrics are lush and driving, and his solos are nothing short of fantastic. Even his Jimi Hendrix cover is eccentric and exceptional. Seriously, buy this, burn this, steal this...just find some way to get this album.John Mayer Where the Light IsJohn Mayer delivers. Seriously, the guitar work and vocal harmonies in Where the Light Is are to die for. Mayer expertly reworks covers like Free Falling and the ever-popular I Don't Need No Doctor. His live gems, Wait Until Tomorrow, Who Did You Think I Was, and Good Love is On the Way spark new audience interest. And, of course, classics like Slow Dancing and Gravity own the night. John Mayer feels the blues and belts out the rock in this 22-track setlist. There are almost no weak or dragging points to the entire album, save for the dragging Out of My Mind. Every track is enjoyable and worth a listen. Man, this dude can play.Led Zeppelin How The West Was WonLed Zeppelin DVDMichael Franti and Spearhead Songs From The Front PorchMichael Franti and Spearhead All Rebel RockersFranti turns up the amps and the atmosphere with his 2008 release, All Rebel Rockers. A call to arms, the album takes a more mainstream approach at Franti's reggae rock style. While the choruses may be unappreciated by the intellectual music listener, the verses will certainly not disappoint. There is not one weak track on the album, and the instrumentation is nothin short of harmonious. Life in the City and The Future stand out as obvious highlights. Franti oftens confides in female duos for vocal support, and the result is nice R&B blend. If Hey World (Remote Control Version) doesn't have you singing the chorus, then maybe you're just not ready to experience Michael Franti at his finest.Neil Young Everybody Knows This is NowhereNick Drake Pink MoonNOFX The DeclineO.A.R. In Between Now And ThenO.A.R. 34th & 8thPink Floyd PulsePink Floyd Pulse DVDRage Against the Machine Evil EmpireShpongle Tales Of The InexpressibleShpongle Are You Shpongled?Sigur Ros ( )Simon and Garfunkel Simon and Garfunkel's Greatest HitsSlightly Stoopid Closer To The SunThere is a reason Slightly Stoopid was signed to Skunk Records by the Sublime frontman, Bradley Nowell, himself. Stoopid has reached a complete stage of euphoria with Closer to the Sun. This album features some catchy little guitar riffs and even more addictive lyrics. Reggae evidence is extremely evident in tracks like See It No Other Way (which features reggae legend Barrington Levy) and Bandelero. Open Road displays some memorable guitar work. Closer to the Sun is Stoopid's most solid release yet.Soundtrack Across the UniverseState Radio Year of the CrowState Radio Flag of the ShinersSublime Second Hand SmokeSublime Robbin' The HoodRobbin' the Hood is a completely underrated album. The questionable quality and prominent joke tracks may be a turn-off for some, but when Sublime really lets loose on tracks like Pool Shark, Greatest Hits, and STP, the groovin' really gets goin.' Boss DJ is another highlight, just frontman Bradley Nowell crooning to us alone with his guitar. Humorous lyrics grace some of the other tracks and the Raleigh Soliloquys are hilarious. If you're looking for straightforward Sublime music I wouldn't go for this album, but if you've acquired the Sublime taste then definitely pick this up.Sublime SublimeThe Beatles LoveLove is less of an album, more of an adventure. There are almost no breaks in the music in this album, just an hour and twenty minutes of straight Beatles. The album transitions from the beginning, more pop sound, through the psychadelic phase of the Beatles' music, and finally reaches the super-mega-hits like Hey Jude, a Day in the Life, and All You Need is Love. The only song that disappoints is the scrambled Gnik Nus, which is almost a waste of 50 seconds. Luckily the rest of the album is flawless and just gets better and better as it progresses. 'Love' is one of the few albums I can honestly say that, when you hear a song, you think it's amazing. Then, you hear the next song, and it's even better. The entire album improves upon itself until the climactic closing of All You Need is Love. Adding in the little sign-off by Mr. Johnny Lennon himself is just the cherry on top of the hot-fudge sundae that is LOVE.The Beatles Abbey RoadThe Doors The DoorsThe Grateful Dead American BeautyThe John Butler Trio Sunrise Over SeaThe Notorious B.I.G.

The far-out vocals and the lazy, strange beats make help Black Sunday get along. The album veers back and forth between angry raps about killing and laid-back, chill herb tracks. Don't even try and deny you don't sing along with 'I Want to get High'...Cypress Hill Live at the FillmoreDaft Punk DiscoveryDamian Marley Mr. MarleyNothing like Damian Marley's later work, Mr. Marley is twelve tracks of pure reggae. With huge influence (and many borrowed lyrics) from his father, Damian creates a solid debut album. The songs mostly tell stories of the poverty in Jamaica and political problems the country is undergoing. This is a must-have for reggae fans, and an interesting item for those who want to see a different side of the man who later release Welcome to Jamrock.Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds Live at Radio CityDave Matthews Band Under The Table And DreamingDave Matthews Band The Gorge [CD/DVD]Dave Matthews Band Live at Piedmont ParkDJ Shadow EndtroducingEasy Star All Stars RadiodreadEminem The Marshall Mathers LPEminem The Slim Shady LPEric Clapton 461 Ocean BoulevardEric Clapton Rainbow ConcertFlight of the Conchords Flight Of The ConchordsG.

It's stock-full of hits, from start to finish. At least one song off of every Stones album (save Dirty Work) can be found somewhere on Forty Licks. This is an excellent introductory compilation, but for older fans it just doesn't compare. Some lesser known great tracks are included to the experienced listener's benefit, such as Wild Horses and Have You Seen Your Mother Baby? This is two and a half hours of pure raunchy Stones.

Every song is enjoyable to say the least, but only a few really stick with you. State Radio transgress genrical boundaries by offering an arsenal of tracks, including the beautifually simple, barred-down acoustic Sybil I, the dark and moody Riddle in Londontown, the heavily reggae influenced Right Me Up and People to People, and of course the rockin' Camilo and Man in the Hall. Most of the tracks offer an insightful political message, especially the closing Calvado's Chopper and Rushian. Though it is easier to listen to the light-hearted Right Me Up, the real beauty in the album lies within the darker songs. Fear not, there is a little something for everyone on this album.Stevie Ray Vaughan Texas FloodStevie Ray Vaughan Greatest HitsSublime Stand By Your VanSublime Jah Won't Pay the BillsThe Allman Brothers Band Live At The Fillmore EastThe Allman Brothers Band A Decade of Hits '69- '79The Aquabats The Return of the AquabatsThe Aquabats Charge!The Beatles Magical Mystery TourThe Beatles Let It Be....NakedThe Beatles Rubber SoulThe Chemical Brothers Dig Your Own HoleThe Disco Biscuits Senor BoomboxThe Disco Biscuits The Wind At Four To FlyThe Doors The Best Of The DoorsThe Flaming Lips Yoshimi Battles the Pink RobotsThe Grateful Dead Live at the Cow Palace: New Years Eve 1976The Grateful Dead Shakedown StreetThe Grateful Dead Blues for AllahThe Grateful Dead Fillmore West 1969The John Butler Trio Live at Saint-GallenThe Roots Rising DownThe Roots Things Fall ApartToots & The Maytals Funky KingstonTrey Anastasio ShineUmphrey's McGee Anchor DropsVan Morrison Astral WeeksVarious Artists Halo 2 Original Soundtrack-Volume 1Ziggy Marley Conscious Party3.5 great10 Ft.

The first time I heard of him I was flipping through and I see his Jamrock video on MTV. I was instantly hooked. The single is everything it needed to be. So, I went out and bought the album. It's really two-sided for me. Half the album is 4/5 material, while the other half is 2/5. Average that together, Mr. Marley gets a three. Road to Zion is absolutely perfect. Beautiful, on the other hand, is equivalent to a used tissue. It's really sticky and no one wants it. In fact, I would say the best moments on the album come when Damian samples his own father's work. Pimpa's Paradise and Move are prime examples. Overall, this is a good blend of hip-hop and rap, and a good listen for anyone.Damian Marley Halfway TreeDave Matthews Some DevilDave Matthews Band Stand UpDave Matthews Band Busted StuffDave Matthews Band Live at Red Rocks 8.15.95Dispatch Four-Day TrialsDonavon Frankenreiter Pass It AroundErykah Badu New Amerykah Pt. 1 (4th World War)Fat Freddy's Drop Live At The MatterhornFishbone The Essential FishboneG.

Featuring 21 tracks of pure spittin' rhymes, Da Drought 3 actually contains some quality hip-hop. However, the long tracklisting does stretch out for quite a while and can eventually become monotonous. While Lil Wayne is a master at creating clever (though many times nonsensical) hooks, some of the raps in here are just plain dumb. Nevertheless, Da Drought 3 has some real solid stuff.

Younger Brother is full of outstanding talent and potential. Here, however, they have filled an album with, well, background music. Seriously, if you want music that blends in with the background while you are doing something else, then I guess this is an alright album. Sadly, if you want music to feel and delve into, The Last Days of Gravity falls far short. Great ideas and potential classics are lost in the abyss of mediocrity. All of the songs have a few seconds of glory, but when each track is around 9 minutes long, those moments are few and far between.ZOX The Wait2 poorAngels and Airwaves We Don't Need to WhisperArcade Fire FuneralCitizen Cope The Clarence Greewood RecordingsGod how this man bores me.
