anything from the Golden Palominos
This one features Richard Thompson and Michael Stipe, the Palominos were sort of the Traveling Wilburys of 80's college radio bands.Last edited by thunderbolt; Apr 25, '13, 4:50 PM.You must try to generate happiness within yourself.

It's so hard to me to place a label on the stuff I listen to in the context of someone else's thread title.
Like, for example, is an album that TRIED to be commercial and failed an option for this thread?
How about a non-commericial-type album that has a radio-friendly tune on it (Pink Floyd comes to mind).
I like music threads, though. So, I'm sure I'll commment on others' posts."No. No no no no no no. You done got me talkin' politics. I didn't wanna'. Like I said y'all, I'm just happy to be alive. I think I'll scoot over here right by this winda', let this beautiful carriage rock me to sleep, and dream about how lucky I am." - Chris MannixComment

This gets airplay here in Seattle on the commercial adult contemporary station run by Clear Channel.
Always shake my head. Great stuff and there is a movie drama that came out about him and his dad, "Greetings from Tim Buckley".

The Frogs "It's Only Right and Natural"
It's like two filthy drug addicts stole The Beatles talent Space Jam style and then made one of the most hilarious and offensive albums of all time.

Hmmmm....
This is a tricky one. I think for me it'd be a tie between:
-Professor Elemental: The Indifference Engine
-Big Rude Jake and his Gentleman Players: Butane Fumes and Bad Cologne
-The Creepshow: Sell Your Soul

Billy Mumy's band The Jenerators from their album Pony Up. Lead singers include Billy Mumy, David Jolliffe, Miguel Ferrer, and Gary Stockdale. David Jolliffe (Bernie of Room 222) is singing lead on this one, a fave of mine, "Pay First":
"Do you believe, you believe in magic?
'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
If your mission is magic your love will shine true."

One of my all time favorites is Nadine, an alt-country band out of St. Louis. Kind of Wilco. Kind of Jayhawks. Their album Downtown, Saturday is one of the best road trip albums I've come across. They toured in Europe for a while, but never really made the dent in American airplay that folks in St. Louis expected, even after they signed with Pete Yorn's personal label. You can't go wrong with any of their 4 albums, (the aforementioned Downtown, Saturday; Lit up from the Inside; Back to My Senses; and Strange Seasons).
Here's a YouTube link to my favorite song on the album, So That I Don't Miss You.
