  Number of comments: 2
  Best Albums of the 70s – #20IV – Led Zeppelin (1971) I’ve been on a roll with these decade lists, so I’m marching on (and back). Pull out your leisure suits and bell-bottoms, it’s time for the best albums of the 70s! At first I wondered if I’d have enough [...]

• Song of the Day #1,408: ‘Frowne Song (Feeble Anthem)’ – Ben Folds

  Enclosure: [download]

  Number of comments: 1
  Before the release of his 2008 album, Way to Normal, Ben Folds decided to have some fun with his fans. Because all albums inevitably leak onto the Internet weeks before their release, Folds figured he’d embrace that fact and leak it himself. Only he didn’t leak the actual album, but [...]

• Song of the Day #1,407: ‘She’s Mad’ – David Byrne

  Number of comments: 1
  OK, it’s getting weird now. Here we have another instance of the Random iTunes Fairy honing in on the most popular track from the selected album. To be fair, it’s not as if ‘She’s Mad’ was a runaway hit, but this track was the only single released from David Byrne’s [...]

  Best Albums of the 80s – #1Graceland – Paul Simon (1986) All of the drama and anticipation of the last four weeks leads to this… the least surprising “Best 80s Album” pick of the batch. Sorry to be boring and predictable, but what choice did I have? I considered ranking [...]

  Best Albums of the 80s – #2Imperial Bedroom – Elvis Costello (1982) The third Elvis Costello album on this list is the one that blew my mind out in a car, to quote a song from a famous album engineered by Geoff Emerick, who handled production duties on this baroque [...]

  Best Albums of the 80s – #3Fables of the Reconstruction – R.E.M. (1985) Four artists in my 80s list also showed up on my 90s list — Lucinda Williams, Lyle Lovett, U2 and R.E.M. R.E.M. is the only one to place in the top five of both lists. It’s easy [...]

  Best Albums of the 80s – #4The Queen is Dead – The Smiths (1986) I think I just heard Dana’s head explode. Yes, more Smiths! The Smiths released only four studio albums (among many compilations) and The Queen is Dead is by far the best of them. On this record, [...]

  Best Albums of the 80s – #5Full Moon Fever – Tom Petty (1989) The second Tom Petty album on this countdown, Full Moon Fever, is a collection of pop hits that’s as much fun as you can have wearing headphones. I can’t even think about this album without smiling. Full [...]

  OK, Seal was one thing, but I find it hard to believe that this is my first time featuring Prince on the blog. But that does indeed seem to be the case. I’m not a big Prince fan, to be sure, but I respect the man’s talent and have enjoyed [...]

  Number of comments: 2
  I’m not sure how big a milestone 1,400 songs of the day represents, but everybody loves a nice even number so… yay, me! This weekend’s first randomly selected artist is Seal, who has never before graced the blog, or even been mentioned on it. I own two Seal albums because [...]
