Arguably the most important/influential album released in September 1991, despite what people might've thought at the time about a noisy trio out of Seattle whose mega-selling album was released a week later...

Been on a straight heavy kick lately. Mostly old stuff, nothing new.

Classics like Zep, AC/DC, Cult and some new stuff like Muse, Rev Theory, Sixx am, Slash with Miles Kennedy, In this Moment. Im not into the screaming death thrash metal, but stuff like Stoned by Alice in Chains...heck, even a little Judas in there. Bad Girfriend by Theory of a Deadman... Just stuff more like hard rock than the pap on the radio lately.

I've been listening to a lot of Madness the last couple of days. I love 2 Tone/2nd wave ska, although they moved on from that after their first two albums. Their fourth record "Madness Presents the Rise and Fall" is one of my favorite albums ever.

I love Madness! I've always thought their later, less commercially successful singles are underrated. An example:

Two tone/ ska took me a very long time to get into. I think a lot of that was due to a perception of it, and its fans, here. But the ska tent at a festival I go to is always a blast and good fun. Bad Manners were there the other year.

I know what you mean, Thoth. When ska hit it big in the States in the mid-late 90s, it was easy to be put off by the many hooligans who were into it. But that wasn't yet an issue in America in the 80s, where most listeners/viewers heard and saw the surface whimsy in Madness, but missed out on the gritty underside.

I know, I know. Look, don't ask me how my mind makes associations. IF I knew that, I'd be rich, good lookin' and famous. And I ain't.

...and then I resumed my chronological rediscovery of Morrissey's entire catalogue. Having finished the Smiths yesterday, I started the solo recordings today.
