    Full Moon Fever - Tom Petty

    For the record I'd have probably voted Pixies over Soundgarden if included, but I've been trying to choose among Yella's offerings when possible.
    That will change for 88 if there's no "Operation: Mindcrime" or maybe "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son" listed.

    Full Moon Fever was great; very worthy
    Cheers--

    I kinda ducked over Petty in 1994 with no Wildflowers. Felt I owed him one vote in this exercise.

    His first three records are all pretty solid. He had a dry spell in the 80s before Full Moon Fever.

    Freedom - Neil Young
    The ballads on Freedom are a little weak. Throw them out and you have:

    Rockin in the free world (acoustic)
    Crime in the city
    Don't Cry
    Eldorado
    On Broadway
    No more
    Too far gone
    Rockin in the free world (electric)

    Perhaps Neil's best work.

    I know...its kind of like saying "if you threw out his bad plays he had a really good game..."

    Dr. Feelgood - Motley Crue
    I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I would not call Neil Young "rock" music, same goes for Bonnie Raitt and The Cure. Not enough good electric guitar turned up to 11 in any of that. Nirvana album was before anyone had ever heard of them so I kinda think that's cheating - I actually didn't know they had an earlier album than Nevermind but I've never been a fan of them.

    This was also a year in which Milli Vanilli, Paula Abdul, and New Kids on the Block topped the charts, though, so...yeah.

    The list of “rock” sub genres is endless. Folk rock and metal are both types of “rock”.
