Also feel free to discuss Reckless Kelly, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, Rednex, the Reds, Return to Forever, Rose Royce, and/or Rose Tattoo, though I didn't include them above so nobody would yell at me and tell me people on ILM have already talked about them plenty before. (Somebody will probably yell at me for including somebody else, though. I just don't know who yet, though I suppose I will soon.)

And oops, Red Swan (who made the best indie rock album of 2004, though almost nobody noticed) should be singular, not plural.

Bogdan Raczynski's Boku Mo Wakaran is a lost classic. ADD drum n bass trapped in a video game by Takashi Miike.

I bet you guys don't talk about Christoph de Babalon, either.

Not really an ILM kind of thing, but Kim Richey's Bitter Sweet is a practically perfect album of alt-country pop: gorgeous melodies, pretty harmonies, copious hooks, practically every song a "single" type. Richey is a pretty good songwriter, although none of her subsequent records was as lush and satisfying as Bitter Sweet. They are much less country-tinged, more in the vein of Sam Phillips. Some people love her s/t first album, but I've never heard it. I think she wrote a few mainstream country hits for Trisha Yearwood and others before going the s/s route. Anyway, Bitter Sweet still gets its spins at my house; my wife loves it.

Her collaborator on Bitter Sweet was Angelo, about whom I know practically nothing except he was a 70s metal guy from Boston who shows up from time to time contributing a lot to a completely diverse set of albums. The last time I noticed him was the first Kings of Leon, which I like a lot too.

what is it about kim richey that's supposed to make her alt-country? i never really got that. or maybe it's just that i assume if i like her, she *can't* be alt-country. (metal mike saunders is a fan, too, and he *never* likes alt-country. in fact, he's just about the only person i know who prefered pop country in the mid to late '90s to pop country now, which i'm pretty sure he thinks isn't pop enough. he sent me a VHS tape in 1999 or so with videos by guys like toby keith and kenny chesney on it, back before i had any idea who they were.)

Roue -- newish arty noisy hard rock band with some of the word cover art on a new CD I've ever seen. Couldn't even get through half of it. Yug, get it away! Guess that constitutes not much love.

Return to Forever should get more love for the jazz fusion masterpiece Romantic Warrior. Electric Al Dimeola rules. Not so fond of the Elektric Band wherein Chick Corea utilizes Frank Gambale, Mr. Sweep Pickin'.

I always wanted to hear Red Planet but still have not. Just like I haven't heard the new Darkness LP.

Rapider Than Horsepower is cool!

I'm surprised to find Bogdan Raczynski and Red Snapper on the "no-love" list.

We Aim To Satisfy Red Snapper is the electro-funk bomb that Tackhead only weakly threatened to make all along.

I would probably also toss Rat At Rat R on this list, altho god knows there's been a thread about them on here at some point.

Just got the Jenni Rivera that came out a couple months ago, but I haven't absorbed it yet. Some fine tuba playing, though. and the liner notes are everything I'd dreamed they'd be.
