Album #36 Probot by Probot
This is Dave Grohl from Nirvana and the Foo Fighters heavy metal album. It contains various heavy metal singers singing the songs and is not for the faint of heart.
Album #37 Cardinology by Ryan Adams
Ryan's latest release that continues in his rock,folk,alt-country kinda way. Has some amazing songs on it that any of fans of Ryan will love.
Album #38 Love is Hell by Ryan Adams
Contains probably my favorite Ryan Adams song of all time "This House Is Not For Sale." When you hear Ryan croon "Calm down, calm down," over and over again, you'll feel it in your bones.
Album #39 Scream by Chris Cornell
Chris wrote and recorded this album with hip hop producer timbaland and all I can do is ask why?
Album #40 Show Your Bones by The Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Downloand "Phenomena" and try to tell me the YEAH YEAH YEAHS don't rock!
Album #41 By The Way by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Will these guys ever get old in age, or old on the ears? HELL NO!
Album #42 No Line On The Horizon by U2
U2's latest album and in my opinion there very best in years!
Album #43 MTV Unplugged by Pearl Jam
The long awaited never released until now accoustic set by Pearl Jam. Simply amazing. Only bad thing is you have to buy the deluxe version of their new "TEN" box set which will run you at least $130.00.
Album #44 Memory Almost Full by Paul Mccartney
After all these years, he's still got it. "End of the End" is one of the best Mccartney songs I've ever heard.
Album #45 Kind of Blue by Miles Davis
Nothing really can be said, that has not been said about this jazz classic!

Albums # 31 Thru #35
So I have been lazy about updating daily, therefore here are 4 albums I listend to in the last week, with a two line review accompyning each.
Album #31 Either/Or by Elliott Smith
If some angels decided to play guitar and sing melodic songs, then I'm sure they'd sound a lot like Elliott Smith. This album maybe in my top 5 albums of all time.
5 out of 5 Missed Outs
Album #32 Album Of The Year by The Good Life
An absolutely amazing album chronicling the lead singers divorce month by month over a 12 month period. There are 12 songs, each song representing a different month in the marriage, this one will break your heart.
5 out of 5 Missed Outs
Album #33 Into The Wild by Eddie Vedder
This album served as the soundtrack to the movie "Into The Wild." It's Eddie from Pearl Jam, singing and playing an accoustic guitar without much other instrumentation on the album.
4 out of 5 Missed Outs
Album #34 One Day As A Lion E.P. by One Day As A Lion
This is Zack De La Rocha, from Rage Against The Machines new band. The E.P. is 5 songs long and it really just made me want to hear Rage Against The Machine because it's not half as good.
2 out of 5 Missed Outs
Album #35 Led Zeppelin I by Led Zeppelin
Do I really have to say anything about this album, besides it deserves...

Album # 30 I'm Wide Awake It's Morning - Bright Eyes
I would imagine anyone who knows me, knows Bright Eyes is probably my 3rd or 4th favorite band of all time. That being said, I'm very biased when it comes to hearing their music. I can't believe I had made it this far into the year without hearing an entire CD of theirs. So anyway, here is another 5 MISSED OUT rating CD, I believe that makes 3 for the year! Bright Eyes, Conor Oberst(who is the singer for Bright Eyes) and The Beatles all earning 5 Missed Outs from yours truly. Bright Eyes really touched on their country leanings on this here album as most of the album has a little bit of a country feel to it, with nice romantic yearnings of love and loss and a few anti-George Bush songs thrown in for good measure! I will leave you with the lyrics to one of my favorite songs of all time found on this album. Read them and tell me how wonderful the feeling of being totally in love with someone is, or is not.
"First Day Of My Life"
This is the first day of my life
Swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed
They're spreading blankets on the beach
Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
Now I don't know where I am, don't know where I've been
But I know where I want to go
And so I thought I'd let you know
That these things take forever, I especially am slow
But I realize that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home
Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange, you said everything changed
You felt as if you'd just woke up
And you said, "This is the first day of my life
I'm glad I didn't die before I met you
But, now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you
And I'd probably be happy
"So if you wanna be with me
With these things there's no telling
We'll just have to wait and see
But I'd rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery
Besides, maybe this time it's different
I mean I really think you like me

Albums # 25 thru # 29 (Placebo Discography)
I did it again. For the second time this year I have listened to a bands entire collection of albums. This time the band was Placebo and I am very satisfied. For the last couple of years I have had all their albums, yet only listened to one song over and over again. Their song “Blind” is one of my all time favorite songs. Now I can add about 15 other Placebo songs to my list of must listens.
So in the order of their release here are 5 two line reviews:
Album # 25 Placebo – Placebo
Their self titled debut is a bit different than the Placebo nowadays. Still some good indepent punk, pop and rock on this fine debut.
Album #26 Without You I’m Nothing – Placebo
It seems that on this second album, Placebo started to find their sound and stuck with it throughout the album. The song “Every You Every Me” alone is worth buying this album which started introducing the electronic element of the band.
Album # 27 Black Market Music – Placebo
Their third album didn’t even chart in the United States, but hey it was # 1 in France! Makes me think those French dig pretty cool music!
Album # 28 Sleeping With Ghosts – Placebo
Their fourth album which really concentrated more on electronics than other releases is the first to gain any U.S. attention. This album would lead the way into their next album which brought them even more recognition here in the states.
Album # 29 – Meds – Placebo
With their 5th and latest release (2006) Placebo actually made the U.S. charts albeit at number 180! It once again was # 1 in many other countries and contains my new favorite Placebo song of all time “Infa-Red,” a song detailing how his lover can’t ever get away from him since he can “see in the dark.”
When all is said and done Placebo are a fine band, mixing some rock, electronica, and punk with some David Bowie thrown in. I cant see how anyone could listen to them and not be addicted!
