Bursting with more Merseybeat/power-pop hooks than should be allowed, the Odds come crashing forth with Nest, a collection of tunes which harken back to the days when the Beatles, Hollies and Lovin' Spoonful ruled the airwaves. And while "Make You Mad" does sound a little too convincingly like Badfinger, all of these tunes are squarely rooted in the '90s. Unlike previous efforts which left you feeling just a wee bit "odd," Nest makes you feel like you've just come home after a long journey and everything is familiar and in its place. The best thing to say is simply "Enjoy!"
"Someone Who's Cool" - 3:17
"Make You Mad" - 4:07
"Hurt Me" - 3:45
"Heard You Wrong" - 3:59
"Tears & Laughter" - 4:05
"Nothing Beautiful" - 3:07
"Say You Mean It Wondergirl" - 3:16
"Out Come Stars" - 4:24
"Night's Embrace" - 3:59
"Suppertime" - 3:51
"At Your Word" - 3:57
for whatever reason, it seems that videos from this album are extremely rare/hard to find on youtube
someone whos cool (live)

The soundtrack, featuring numerous other musicians whom the Band had either played with or influenced throughout their career, was a sampling of the full concert set occupying the first five sides of the 3-LP set, and "The Last Waltz Suite", five new songs and a new version of "The Weight", occupying the sixth side. (In 2002, a four-CD set also titled The Last Waltz featuring more of the concert than before—but not the entire concert—was released.)
Like the music in the film itself, parts of it were overdubbed in post-production, owing to many faults during the concert. There would be three more albums years later without Robertson, but for the original quintet, it ended with the release of this album and the film of the same name.
The Last Waltz boasts a horn section (using Toussaint's earlier arrangements on a few cuts) and more than a baker's dozen guest stars, ranging from old cohorts Ronnie Hawkins and Bob Dylan to contemporaries Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, and Van Morrison. The Band are in fine if not exceptional form here; on most cuts, they don't sound quite as fiery as they did on Rock of Ages, though their performances are never less than expert, and the high points are dazzling, especially an impassioned version of "It Makes No Difference" and blazing readings of "Up on Cripple Creek" and "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" (Levon Helm has made no secret that he felt breaking up the Band was a bad idea, and here it sounds if he was determined to prove how much they still had to offer). Ultimately, it's the Band's "special guests" who really make this set stand out — Muddy Waters' ferocious version of "Mannish Boy" would have been a wonder from a man half his age, Van Morrison sounds positively joyous on "Caravan," Neil Young and Joni Mitchell do well for their Canadian brethren, and Bob Dylan's closing set finds him in admirably loose and rollicking form. (One question remains — what exactly is Neil Diamond doing here?) And while the closing studio-recorded "Last Waltz Suite" sounds like padding, the contributions from Emmylou Harris and the Staple Singers are beautiful indeed.

Stankonia was OutKast's second straight masterstroke, an album just as ambitious, just as all-over-the-map, and even hookier than its predecessor. With producers Organized Noize playing a diminished role, Stankonia reclaims the duo's futuristic bent. Keyboardist/producer Earthtone III helms most of the backing tracks, and while the live-performance approach is still present, there's more reliance on programmed percussion, otherworldly synthesizers, and surreal sound effects. Yet the results are surprisingly warm and soulful, a trippy sort of techno-psychedelic funk. Every repeat listen seems to uncover some new element in the mix, but most of the songs have such memorable hooks that it's easy to stay diverted. The immediate dividends include two of 2000's best singles: "B.O.B." is the fastest of several tracks built on jittery drum'n'bass rhythms, but Andre and Big Boi keep up with awe-inspiring effortlessness. "Ms. Jackson," meanwhile, is an anguished plea directed at the mother of the mother of an out-of-wedlock child, tinged with regret, bitterness, and affection. Its sensitivity and social awareness are echoed in varying proportions elsewhere, from the Public Enemy-style rant "Gasoline Dreams" to the heartbreaking suicide tale "Toilet Tisha." But the group also returns to its roots for some of the most testosterone-drenched material since their debut. Then again, OutKast doesn't take its posturing too seriously, which is why they can portray women holding their own, or make bizarre boasts about being "So Fresh, So Clean." Given the variety of moods, it helps that the album is broken up by brief, usually humorous interludes, which serve as a sort of reset button. It takes a few listens to pull everything together, but given the immense scope, it's striking how few weak tracks there are. It's no wonder Stankonia consolidated OutKast's status as critics' darlings, and began attracting broad new audiences: its across-the-board appeal and ambition overshadowed nearly every other pop album released in 2000.
So close... so close. Okay. 2003-2005... I was working in the office up at CJSW during those years. I remember hearing a serious metric ton of different albums, but very few that I really loved. A lot of stuff came out where there'd be one track that'd be awesome. So here's a bunch of my favorite single tracks from that time.
From Paul Westerberg's "Come Feel Me Tremble", I loved the song "Crackle & Drag":
I really loved "The Desert is on Fire" by Murder by Death. Didn't care much for the rest of the album.
There was an alright P.W. Long album somewhere around there called "Remembered" that had an awesome song called "Fishes & Wine". Can't find a video.
The best record from 2003-2005 though was from 2006: Powder Burns by the Twilight Singers.
You can get yourself any number of Otis Greatest Hits records and they'll all be awesome. And they'll all probably have this whole record front to back on it.

I'm not usually a big fan of compilation albums, but I might be if more or them had this much value for money in them.
In the Compilation category, team Twist/Shout picks Cloaca Maxima II by CMX.
This is the second triple-CD compilation from what I consider to be the greatest (active) Finnish band, putting together stuff from 1998 to 2004.
Money shouldn't really be a measuring stick, but I got to bring this up, since I really think it adds to the point of why this is such a great compilation.
With the price of about 1,5 normal albums, you got a three CD package with 44 songs, 2 of which are completely new, 1 is a new version of a song only once performed in TV, 2 are new versions of old songs and 17 are single-only. The best part, the "B-sides" are both interesting and very good (although not always at the same time), showing a lot of experimentation, most of it quite different from what the band usually sounds like on their album tracks.
So basicly it's like a cheap double-compilation built with care and and a B-sides compilation thrown in as a bonus. I wish more bands did their compilations like this. Then of course, most bands propably just don't have this many leftovers to publish.
Here's some picks, not necessarily my favourites but just something that shows some of the numerous sides of this great band.
Pyörivät sähkökoneet '04 (a version of a much older song)
Jatkuu niinkuin sade (that's not really the singer on the video btw)
For my Greatest Hits pick, I'll take The Beatles 67-70
Disc 1:
Strawberry Fields Forever
Penny Lane
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
A Little Help From My Friends
Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
A Day In The Life
All You Need Is Love
I Am The Walrus
Hello Goodbye
The Fool On The Hill
Magical Mystery Tour
Lady Madonna
Hey Jude
Revolution

Back In The U.S.S.R.

original release contained "Congo Man" (0:48) in place of "Dancing With Myself"
In the summer of 1984, I played this one and Rebel Yell over and over. White Wedding and Dancing With Myself get all the airplay, but I love the entire album.
For Jazz/Blues/classic I'll take Buena Vista Social Club
A real treat to listen to. Grab the DVD if you can find it. Both sad and uplifting to see the passion these old musicians still have after all these years.
here's wiki:
Buena Vista Social Club is a studio album by Cuban bandleader and musician Juan de Marcos González and American guitarist Ry Cooder with traditional Cuban musicians, released September 16, 1997 on World Circuit Records. The album was produced by Cooder who travelled to Cuba to record sessions with the musicians, many of whom were previously largely unknown outside Cuba. The musicians and the songs were later also featured in a documentary film of the same name. The music featured on the album was inspired by the Buena Vista Social Club, a membership club that was at its height during the 1940s and 1950s. Many of the musicians performing on the record were either former performers at the club or were prominent Cuban musicians during the era of the club's existence. Other younger musicians on the record trace their musical roots back to pre-revolutionary Cuban music, mainly the famous Havana musical scene of the 1950s. Buena Vista Social Club started a craze in the Western World for Latin American music, particularly Cuban music,[citation needed] while it also earned a considerable amount of critical praise and has received numerous accolades from several music writers and publications.[2] In 2003, the album was ranked number 260 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time,[3] one of only two albums on the list to be produced in a non-English speaking country.
