Comments:
Tommy Keene: Places that are gone ep is a classic and this cd contains it as well as great bonus tracks.

Del Amitri: smooth. Nothing Ever Happens is one of the best sing alongs ever.

Adam Schmitt: had two albums in the early 90's: First one was World So Bright, very poppy with no edge. Then came Illiterature which was also very poppy, great hooks, but with more of an edge. Both albums were excellent and just about anything on them would be recommendable.

Fountains of Wayne: excellent debut. Leave the Biker is the best track.

John Wesley Harding: very tuneful and wry.

Nick Lowe: oldie but a goodie.
