The Clash "(White Man) in Hammersmith Palais" Clash on Broadway
Louis Armstrong "The Home Fire" What a Wonderful World
Arturo Sandoval "Guantanamera" For Love or Country

Graham Parker & the Rumour "Hold Back the Night" Passion Is No Ordinary Word--The Graham Parker Anthology (1976-1991)
bonus
R.E.M. "Sitting Still" Murmur
Fine 1-2 to kick off, lots of good artists, and a Graham Parker I actually have on a 4-song 45 ep and have loved for a long time. And unlike most everyone my age, there's R.E.M., which doesn't leave me dreamy. Listening to it now, it's not so bad, but I still don't understand the fuss.

I'll have to check out Sleater-Kinney, all you kids are listening to it.
George, I was never so wild over REM either, but I did really like Murmur. Most of the rest of their CDs I bought too, but they were always more of a radio band to me.
As for my list this week, every track's a keeper. Yay, iTunes.
Tessitura, Shriekback is one of my favorite bands from that era. This is from a more recent album--they went silent for nearly 10 years and then finally released a couple of albums in the last 3-4 years.
1. Welcome to the Working Week - Elvis Costello
2. Into Your Arms - Lemonheads
3. In This House That I Call Home - X
4. Benchseat Baby - Fred Eaglesmith
5. What Keeps Mankind Alive - Tom Waits
6. Non-Absorbing - Guided by Voices
7. You Can Have it All - Yo La Tengo
8. Do You Thint It's Alright? - The Who
9. Bitchin' Camero - Dead Milkmen
