14. Yes I should have included Van Halen

Been listening to it lately in the gym. Great motivational music to lift to. The first five REM albums are all outstanding, but I might go with Document instead. No argument on The Pretenders and Dreamboat Annie.

Really unfortunate about Jeff Buckley.

I am not really that sold on Brothers in Arms. It brought to Dire Straits, but I really prefer to first album (listened to it a lot with my wife). Definitely agree on Electric Ladyland. I typically listen to Hendrix on a boxed set so I lost track of what was on that album (All Along the Watchtower alone which is my favorite Hendrix song even though it is a cover).
