125 Albums That Should Be In Your Collection 20-25

MATT MAYS - Self Titled 2003 Sonic I first herd of Matt Mays when I was watching the East Coast music awards and he performed a few songs from this album. He sounded a lot like Wilco and other Alt-Country acts, so needless to say I was hooked from the beginning. Matt Mays - So Distant Matt Mays - City Of Lakes Matt Mays - Lonely Highway Night Matt Mays - Downtown ELLIOTT SMITH - Figure 8 Apr 18, 2000 DreamWorks One of the smartest things I`ve ever done is I went and saw Elliott twice when he toured for this album. Once in Detroit and once in Toronto..It was the only times I saw Elliott in concert and I`m glad I did it. Elliott Smith - Pretty Mark K Elliott Smith - L.A. Elliott Smith - Somebody That I Used to Know Elliott Smith - Can`t Make A Sound STEREOPHONICS - Just Enough Education To Perform Apr 17, 2001 V2 I dunno...I just love this album and I like how frontman Kelly Jones wanted to have a record with the abbreviation J.E.E.P. in the title.. Stereophonics - Lying In The Sun Stereophonics - Watch Them Fly Sundays Stereophonics - Nice To Be Out Stereophonics - Have A Nice Day HOT HOT HEAT - Meak Up The Breakdown Oct 8, 2002 Sub Pop I must say that Hot Hot Heat are a great live band...I had the pleasure of seeing them in Toronto @ The Horseshoe just when this album was starting to become popular...and they played there asses off...it was a great night mostly because the Horseshoe wasn`t that packed..I later saw them @ CTO in London a few months later and the show kinda sucked...because there were too many people.. Hot Hot Heat - This Town Hot Hot Heat - Talk To Me, Dance With Me Hot Hot Heat - No Not Now Hot Hot Heat - Bandages THE ANNIVERSARY - Your Majesty Jan 22, 2002 Vagrant I must admit I first got into the anniversary because of Rob Schnapf ( the man behind Elliott Smith`s XO, also see Saves The Day from earlier this week) it seemed that everything that was produced by him I was enjoying at the time. I don`t know what happened to these guys but I wish I had saw them live. The Anniversary - The Siren Sings The Anniversary - Husam Husam The Anniversary - Peace, Pain and Regret The Anniversary - Crooked Crown
