All Bets Are OffWho, in 2009, was expecting a crushing sludge album the likes of which has not been seen since 16's "Blaze of Incompetence" (new 16 album included)? Not me.

Hot Legs - Thinks School Stinks (1971)
Let's Make Neanderthal LoveThe result of a former session group scoring a big hit (see: "Neanderthal Man") and issuing a whole album. Hot Legs later became 10cc, but this album has all the inventive arrangements and awesome leads of their later incarnation and less of the dated goofiness (although there is skippable track or two here). In an alternate reality, this would be a major classic. If anyone is interested in 10cc, check out their 1974 album "Sheet Music," which is worth hearing just for the single "Silly Love."

Screaming Trees - "Invisible Lantern" (1988)
Walk through to this side...They may have been from that city at that time, but this album makes a whole lot of sense if you think of it as an SST release by a garage band that was into both punk and the bands from Nuggets. I'm glad I got curious about what other Seattle bands were up to circa "Bleach"...

The Stones, Live at Perth, 1973. Brilliant.
One of the best ever live performances. The Stones on this February night in Australia are a blood and guts rock and roll machine. Their absolute peak.
