	The La's The La's 1990 Go! Records			Son of a Gun I Can't Sleep Timeless Melody Liberty Ship There She Goes Doledrum	Feelin' Way Out I.O.U. Freedom Song Failure Lookin Glass
The Next Big Thing and from Liverpool no less. Man, did these guys have pressure put on them or what? No wonder they never made it past one album. Shame, though, since they were very good.

	Geddy Lee My Favorite Headache 2000 Atlantic Records			My Favorite Headache The Present Tense Window to the World Working at Perfekt Runaway Train	The Angels' Share Moving to Bohemia Home On the Strange Slipping Suit Grace to Grace
You gotta give him an 'A' for effort. This album could have been so much fun, so experimental, but Geddy kept himself within the format of a trio. He's been doing that for 30 years! Branch out, son! Get a little crazy, do something that's not expected of you! Maybe next time he'll listen, but for now this feels like a poor man's Rush album.

	Chris Leib Demo-Listen!! 1999 Olivia Records			Livin' a Lie Nothing at All Another Day	Madison She Said I Wanna Know Now
I always wanted to be a rock star. Even when I was 7 years old and I'd mime to my Beatles and Monkees records while 'playing' a tennis racket and signing into my golf club microphone (don't ask!), I always knew I wanted to perform. Well, it may have taken 25 years, but I finally did it! The production is lousy, and one of the songs is not thoroughly thought out, but the rest is very good if I do say so my damn self!

	Sean Lennon Into the Sun 1998 Grand Royale Records			Mystery Juice Into the Sun Home Bathtub One Night Spaceship Photosynthesis	Queue Two Fine Lovers Part One of the Cowboy Trilogy Wasted Breeze Sean's Theme
It was inevitable, I guess. If your dad was a famous rock star, you release an album. At least this one is good. Weird, but good. Luckily for us, we have two offspring from John Lennon that are talented (also see Julian Lennon). But where Julian is pretty mainstream, Sean has that streak of Yoko running through him that makes his music just a bit offbeat.

	L.E.O. Alpacas Orgling 2006 Cheap Lullaby Records			Overture Goodbye Innocence Ya Had Me Goin' Distracted Make Me	The Ol' College Try Nothin' Will Ever Change Don't Let it Go Private Life Sukaz are Born Every Minute
Essentially Bleu's second album, this is a Power Pop supergroup (with Mike Viola of The Candybutchers and Andy Sturmer from Jellyfish) paying homage to Jeff Lynne and Electric Light Orchestra. Close your eyes and you'd swear you were listening to a long lost ELO album. Great stuff!.

	The Lightning Seeds Dizzy Heights 1996 Epic Records			Imaginary Friends You Bet Your Life Waitingfor Todayto Happen What If . . . Sugar Coated Iceberg Touch and Go	Like You Do Wishaway Fingers and Thumbs You Showed Me Ready or Not Fishes On the Line
Their last album that was released in the US. Now all of their stuff is available on import only. Pricey, but well worth it. This was one of the reigning kings of BritPop back in 1996.

	Longpigs The Sun is Often Out 1996 Mother Records			I Lost Myself She Said Far On and On Happy Again	All Hype Sally Dances Jesus Christ Dozen Wicked Words Elvis Over Our Bodies
Hard to categorize, really. Not BritPop but not grunge or heavy metal. Actually, they kind of harken back to the days of a Love and Rockets-type of band. Serious, moody, but can rock out with the best of them.

	The Look The Look 1981 Plastic Records			Nothin's Gonna Stop Us We're Gonna Rock Dreamin' Be with Me Don't Let Me Be . . . . . . . . . . Misunderstood	Been Used Can't Think Right Do You Want Me Too Race Against Time Last Night
In the spring of 1981, while watching MTV religiously (24 hours a day), I saw a video of The Look playing on a playground and lip-synching to their song. They sang 'we're gonna rock, how 'bout you? Don't sit on your ass, don't be no fool . . .' Incredibly stupid lyrics, but I loved it! That song had been stuck in my head for 20 years, and I could never find the album. One day in 2002, I was in a used record store in Akron, Ohio, and lo and behold I found this record! Still sounds naively stupid but I love it! This is one of the most prized possessions in my record collection.

	Lords of the New Church Lords of the New Church 1982 IRS Records			New Church Russian Roulette Question of Temperature Eat Your Heart Out Portabello	Open Your Eyes Livin' On Livin' Li'l Boys Play with Dolls Apocalypso Holy War
80s punk at its best! This is weird. I think this is an essential album for anyone's collection, but I can't think of anything to say about it!

	Love Forever Changes 1967 Elektra Records (2001 Re-issue)			Alone Again Or A House is Not a Motel Andmoreagain The Daily Planet Old Man The Red Telephone	Maybe the People Would Be ......... the Times or Between ................ Clark and Hilldale Live and Let Live The Good Humor Man He ..... Sees Everything Like This Bummer in the Summer You Set the Scene CD Bonus Tracks: Hummingbirds Wonder People (I Do Wonder) Alone Again Or You Set the Scene Your Mind and We Belong .................. Together (Tracking ............................. Session Highlights) Your Mind and Me Belong ....................... Together Laughing Stock
Probably the most overlooked album of the psychedelic era. Maybe because it's not really psychedelic. But for a realistic feel of what it was like in 1967 California, this record has it.

	Love & Rockets Express 1986 Big Time Records			Angels and Devils * It Could Be Sunshine Kundalini Express All in My Mind Life in Laralay Ball of Confusion	Holiday On the Moon * Yin and Yang the Flower ...................... .... Pot Man Love Me All in My Mind (acoustic) An American Dream * CD Bonus Tracks
A pivotal release for the genre of alternative music. Goth-psychedelia, I think would be the best way to describe L & R. From the ashes of Bauhaus, Love & Rockets was born.

	The Lovin' Spoonful Daydream 1997 KRB Records			Summer in the City Do You Believe in Magic? Daydream	You Didn't Have to Be So Nice Did You Ever Have to Make ...................... Up Your Mind? Nashville Cats
A little sampler I picked up at a discount store, but it has all the singles, so who cares? A nice slice of 60's nostalgia.

	The Lucksmiths Why Doesn't That Surprise Me 2001 Records			Music to Hold Hands to Synchronised Sinking The Great Dividing Range Beach Boys Medley Broken Bones First Cousin Don't Bring Your Work to Bed	Fear of Rollercoasters Harmonicas and Trams The Forgetting of Wisdom Self-Preservation How to Tie a Tie All the Recipes I've ..... ..... ..... Ever Ruined The Year of Living Dangerously
Australian folk-pop! A strange combination, but one that worked very well.

	Lynyrd Skynyrd One More From the Road 1976 MCA Records			Workin' for MCA I Ain't the One Searching Tuesday's Gone _____________	Saturday Night Special Travellin' Man Whiskey Rock-a Roller Sweet Home Alabama _____________
				Gimme Three Steps Call Me the Breeze T for Texas	The Needle and the Spoon Crossroads Freebird
1976 - the year of the live double album. Frampton, Rush and Skynyrd. Exploitation by the record companies or ego stroking of the artists? Who know? Who cares? More bang for our buck, I say. But if I hear 'Freebird' one more time . . . . . . . still, it IS a classic.
