The jury's still out:
Pearl Jam, Binaural

I mostly listen to classic stuff I find via iTunes these days, and those are single songs.

Latest buys --

the Clash, "Train in Vain" Will probably just end up buying a used Clash album

Bruce Springsteen, "Hungry Heart" -- I have this weird weak spot for that whole 80s take on 50s and 60s pop. The Boss does it pretty damn well here.

Billy Joel, "For the Longest Time" -- See above. Hey, doo-wop has its charms!

Weezer, "Buddy Holly" -- There's a big ol' scratch on my copy of Weezer's debut album, and guess where it is?

Blondie, 'Call Me" -- Back when Deborah Harry had talent.

Dexy's Midnight Runner, "Come on Eileen" -- Surprisingly strong example of Northern Soul that manages to be more than the sum of its genre influences

White Town, 'Your Woman" -- If you're drunk, don't buy music online where a single button-press will only make the morning more embarrassing.

Billy Joel, "Piano Man" -- And if you're already drunk, for the love of God stop drinking.

Not a White Town fan, huh? That whole album was good, but "Your Woman" was the cherry on top. Denise, back me up.

Erm, Scott, I thought we discussed that I *didn't* like that album much and didn't understand why anyone would prefer that particular wimpy singer to wimpy singers such as Bobby Wratten or Stuart Murdoch, whose music I find much more pleasing and enlightening :). I do think Your Woman is a fun song but I generally only find myself listening to albums where I like the whole album.

Scott Hardie | September 24, 2004
Oh. I thought you were saying that you did like it, but that Jyoti is nowhere near as good of a singer as Bobby or Stuart, and with that I agree. I honestly think he's tone deaf.

And some STP, as Scott Weiland is its front man.
