Snake's Encore: Broken English - Cafe Bleu



In Snake's Collection:

None! Wow this is a tough week.

You're The Best Around!

Brothers In Arms - Dire Straits:

This is clearly the winner this week. Mark Knopler's laid back voice and smooth guitar playing are at their best. This album features the only Dire Straits song not fully credited to Knopler, with Sting getting credit for "I Want My MTV" on 'Money For Nothing'. This is supposedly one of the first albums that is longer in CD format than in LP and the first to have the CD version outsell the LP.

I Think We've Met

Bug - Dinosaur Jr & Bubble and Scrape - Sebadoh:

I have a few Dinosaur Jr. songs from soundtracks. I enjoy them, but none of them are from 'Bug'. I had a Sebadoh CD once that a friend gave me. It was their first album, very mellow. I know they were Kurt Cobain's favorite band and that will never hurt your reputation. So, I've liked what I have heard, but figure I will keep channeling my money into other artists that I like more.

Hard Pills To Swallow

Butterfly - Mariah Carey:

It is hard to argue against the success of this album, even if it isn't my cup of tea. I certain have even self awareness to know that I can't like everything. :)

Buffalo Springfield Again - Buffalo Springfield:

I am not sure about this one, because looking it over and giving it a listen it doesn't seem that great. But when you are a super group like this churning out music of the era, it would be hard to keep it off this list.

Worst Episode Ever!

I don't even have a good omission from this week. I took an extra day trying to research more about all these bands I know nothing about and still came out uninspired. So, all I can do is look forward to next week. I do have a couple good albums in my collection that will either fall into next week or the week after. I don't believe 'C' should be that big of a group.

Please I know you have the entire Mariah Carey collection hid in your back closet. It's right next to your Michael Bolton collection. I know you celebrate his entire catalogue.
