1. Goodbye Don’t Mean I’m Gone – Carole King – Off her Tapestry album follow up, Carole took to the mountains in California and tended to her daughter. But she was still a round – A

3. Alive – Pearl Jam – Over sung and over whelming but I guess we can forgive Eddie for being a drama Queen now – B-

7. 5:17 – The Bots – Cali Afro Punks take a lick as far as it can go – B+
8. I Will See You In Far Off Places – Morrissey – One of his greatest songs either solo or with the Smiths: with its Arabic sound and deep emotional connection and… “if your God bestows protection upon upon you and if the USA doesn’t bomb you”. Listen to the way he drags USA… – A+
9. Jeremy – Pearl Jam – Heavy mead, it made em stars but people were more depressive in the 1990s – B
10. Something About Knowing – Maria Taylor – This is maybe Maria’s best song ever, it answers every complaint about BPMs and adds yet another lovely melody – A
