Oldies But Goldies: Best Of The 2000s, Letter A
Aaliyah – Aaliyah (2001) – this aint great because she died, this is great because of “Rock The Boat” and “We Need A Resolution”.
Adam Lambert – For Your Entertaiment (2009) – One of the most singulalrly entertaining guys in the biz today.
Americans In France – Pretzlyvania (2009) – What happens when a whiney lead singer leads a lo-fi art rock punk band with a painter for a drummer.
Aimee Mann – Bachelor # 2 (2000) I bought this at Tramps when it was an EP and I just knew it wouldn’t be half as good when she made it into an album. And I was wrong.
Aimee Mann – Lost In Space (2002) – Pitch black pop songs.
Alan Jackson – Good Time (2008) – The more upbeat he is, the more I love him.
Alanis Morrisette – Under Rug Swept ( 2002) – The after effect of a march September romance.

Amy Winehouse – Back To Black (2006) – It’s hard to see it sometimes but this story aint nearly over.
Apples In Stereo – The Discovery of a World Inside the Moone (2000) – Here come the Beatle comparisons
Apples In Stereo – New Magnetic Wonder (2007) – There go the Beatles comparisons
The Arcade Fire – The Neon Bible (2007) Yeah, yeah, I know, Funeral united the world. Well, Neon Bible had better songs.
Arctic Monkeys – Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not (2006) – I saw em on this tour and thought they were a drag but the album was the best slice of English rock since the Streets.
Arms – Kids Aflame (2007) – Teen angst soul rock
Art Brut – Art Brut Vs Satan (2009) – Alcoholics Unanimous?
Ashley Simpson – Bittersweet World (2008) – A great pop rock album. I said it and I’m glad I said it.
