there's not a lot in my collection that i don't like, but i'd say the cure
, god i can't even member the album title now, but it has picture's of you
on it... that one, i don't really like it a lot, that's prolly my least
favorite that i own.. i used to have annie lennox "medusa" but that got lost
somewhere along the line, that was really good... thought i'd share;)

 wow... sounds like what i did.. i  took out my old  old tapes nd listened
to them... things like early Elvis Costello, and ab unch of others... alot
of punk/ ska... brought back memories of myself in the bathroom trying to get
my hair the perfect shade of green, red, and yellow.... and other wonders like
that.  Hard to believe that i listened to ska/punk sometimes! but hey! that
is just me!  =P

  Hmmm..  Biggest pleasant surprise of last year,

  Mad Professor v. Massive Attack -- "No Protection"  Dub specialist
  Mad Professor re-mixes English trip-hop act Massive Attack's "Protection"
  album into something that I find more interesting than the regular work of
  either half of the equation.  Like many of my all-time favorite albums
  my initial impression of this one was vaguely negative but my initial
  disappointment soon gave way to a curiousity that eventually progressed
  to fascination and it hasn't been far from my CD changer ever since.

Some recent album purchases that've turned out to be mistakes:

Various Artists -- "If Deejay Was Your Trade: The Dreads at King Tubby's"
I might once have thought that you couldn't do too badly buying an album
with King Tubby's name on it but this one proves me wrong, wrong, wrong.
I thought I was buying another King Tubby dub compilation but that's not
what this was -- instead I got recycled dub instrumental tracks marred
by unenjoyable (for me, at least) DJ toasting.  A waste of plastic as far
as I'm concerned..

Pixies -- "Doolittle"  Yeah, I know everyone else in my generation loves
them but after buying this one cheap while on a nostalgia kick I remembered
why it is that despite years of living with Pixies fans I'd never before
bought one of their albums.  In my opinion you could put together *one*
killer album if you took all of the best Pixies tracks and put them
together.  Unfortunately that material's spread out over five or so albums
and several EPs and the rest just does nothing for me.

Var. Artists -- "Sometimes God Hides: A Young Person's Guide to Discipline"
Has a number of good tracks but was a complete failure for me as a sampler
as I already seem to have the album of every track I liked and the other
tracks on the disc only convinced me to *not* check out the albums from
which they were taken.

Sneaker Pimps -- "Becoming X"
Tricky -- "Pre-Millenium Tension"
I guess the best thing I can say is that I bought the two of them together
from Schoolkids' used store for $5.99 total -- not sure it was worth it.
I don't really like either of them.  I'm still looking for a "trip-hop"
album I'll like as much as my benchmark for comparison, Massive Attack v.
Mad Professor's "No Protection".  I've heard good things about Tricky's
"Maxinquaye" but after "Pre-Millenium Tension" I'm not sure I want to try
it.  Recommendations pro/con?

Banco de Gaia -- "Last Train to Lhasa"
Perhaps slightly better than average for techno but still seems sterile,
soulless, and un-engaging.  Every once in a while I pick up a techno or
trance album based on an enthusiastic recommendation but I never seem to
enjoy them.  I guess I Just Don't Get It.

well, I think it is good. It includes the song "In and Out", which was the 
real reason I got it. I had been hunting for that song for over three 
years. I was pleasantly surprised to find a copy of the CD NEW at Schoolkids
a few months ago.

        I got the recent Peter White CD at Borders, where it comes
with a bonus disk.
