Modern Boys















Category: Single Artist

Sounds like: love, jealousy, poison, eyeliner and estate housing.

Dramatics and fashionable androgyny aside, Suede actually produced some pretty stellar guitar driven pop songs.  I've tried to include some lesser known tracks here, as there's already a perfectly decent Singles compilation available.  All of the major lineup changes and mood swings are covered, from Bernard Butler to Neil Codling (and a certain Ms. Frischmann). Embrace the trashiness, the swagger and the downright britishness of it all.


Tracklist:
1. Introducing The Band
2. So Young
3. To The Birds
4. Electricity
5. Trash
6. Savoir Faire
7. Metal Mickey
8. My Insatiable One
9. Killing Of A Flash Boy
10. Lazy
11. The Wild Ones
12. W.S.D.
13. Pantomime Horse
14. The Drowners
15. Europe Is Our Playground
16. New Generation
17. By The Sea (Acoustic Version)
18. Shipbuilding
19. Heroine
20. Have You Ever Been This Low
21. My Dark Star
22. Simon (Demo)
23. The Asphalt World
24. Still Life

Meat Puppets

















Category: Single Artist

Sounds like: a punk band that wanted to be ZZ Top.

A lot of people would say "just buy/download their second album," and to an extent a lot of people are right.  Most of their other albums (especially the post-SST major label stuff) have a lot of filler.  This has a fair amount of Meat Puppets II but also pulls some great tracks from otherwise frustrating albums.


Tracklist:
01.  Big House 
02. Out in the Gardener
03. Buckethead
04. Confusion Fog
05. Maiden's Milk
06. Sexy Music
07. Lost
08. Taste of the Sun
09. Up On the Sun
10. Whirlpool
11. Aurora Borealis
12. Not Swimming Ground
13. Shine
14. I Can't Be Counted On
15. Magic Toy Missing
16. On the Move
17. I'm a Mindless Idiot
18. Six Gallon Pie
