Victory Mixture
Artist: Willy DeVille
Four Seasons in One Day
Artist: Crowded House
Weather with You
Artist: Crowded House

In the U.S., Capitol released a radio edit of "Weather With You" as a CD single, backed by the Town and Country Club live versions of "Walking on the Spot, " "Don't Dream It's Over, " "Better Be Home Soon, " and "World Where You Live" (the sticker on the front mistakenly lists "Fall at Your Feet" as being included). Though the single became a... Read More

Brother
Artist: Cry of Love
Community Score: 7.00

Cry of Love's debut was a near-perfect fusion of classic British hard-rock influences (read Free) and Southern rock sensibility, bringing a refreshing honesty to the dreary radio landscape of the early '90s. Vocalist Kelly Holland's gritty delivery (at times reminiscent of Billy Squier) is a perfect foil for the Hendrix flourishes of guitarist... Read More

Osmond Family Christmas
Artist: The Osmonds

The family spirit of the holiday season is abundantly captured on Osmond Family Christmas, which features Donny, Marie and all the rest delivering gleaming renditions of "I'll Be Home for Christmas," "Winter Wonderland," "Blue Christmas" and "Silver Bells." ~ Marvin Jolly, All Music Guide Read More

I, Jonathan
Artist: Jonathan Richman
Community Score: 10.00
Paul Weller
Artist: Paul Weller
Community Score: 6.50

Humiliated by Polydor's rejection of the final Style Council album (it remained unreleased until the 1998 box set), Paul Weller retreated from the spotlight, licked his wounds, and redefined his music. He re-emerged with the Paul Weller Movement and the surging trad rock single "Into Tomorrow," a song that may not have been a big hit, but it... Read More

Back to Mono (1958-1969)
Artist: Phil Spector
Community Score: 4.50

At the time Back to Mono was released in 1991, Phil Spector's reputation as one of pop's great visionaries was intact, but there was no way to hear his genius. It wasn't just that there were no collections spotlighting his productions, there weren't collections of artists he produced. It wasn't until Back to Mono that there was a thorough... Read More

Pocket Full of Kryptonite
Artist: Spin Doctors
Community Score: 6.88

After nearly a year of solid touring, the Spin Doctors scored a huge, unexpected success with the incessantly catchy "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong." The rest of Pocket Full of Kryptonite will please fans of that song; the album is full of the loose, leisurely three-chord pop/rock jams the Spin Doctors specialize in. It may be unfair to compare...

Legend of Paul Revere
Artist: Paul Revere & the Raiders

This two-CD anthology, with 55 songs, may be a lot more Raiders than the average fan would want. But go for it and be amazed at how consistently strong this rocking band from the Great Northwest was. Includes all the hits. ~ Jeff Tamarkin, All Music Guide Read More

Place Like This
Artist: Robbie Nevil
Legendary Masters Series
Artist: Gary Lewis & the Playboys

One of the most engaging pop acts of the mid-'60s, The Playboys benefited from strong songwriting (Al Kooper cowrote "This Diamond Ring") and studio personnel (courtesy of Leon Russell). It's still light, catchy pop with the enjoyable, unaffected vocals of Gary Lewis on top, and still fun. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide Read More

There's Gonna Be a Storm: The Complete Recordings 1966-69
Artist: The Left Banke

Though it's missing a few rarities -- namely the Steve Martin single for Buddha that reunited him with Michael Brown -- this is the most definitive Left Banke compilation. It features the entirety of their two late-'60s albums, as well as a couple of singles that didn't make it onto LPs at the time (though they later appeared on Rhino's History)... Read More
