Roll the Bones, by Rush.
The Velvet Underground (self-titled).

[dizietsma]

The Velvet Underground I already have, but I must admit I've never really known much about Rush beyond whatever they had in the charts (and even then, I can only think of Spirit Of The Radio right now); so thank you, I shall check them out!

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello (or, alternatively, This Years Model)

[dizietsma]

Thank you, I'll check those out. The only thing I have from Elvis Costello is a live album from the mid 90's.

Deep Dead Blue. And hi! How did you find me? I see we have fearsclave and tinywarrior in common.

Thanks! Despite having been raised on your album collection, there are some here I had definitely forgotten about. Also interesting to see that you suggested Pretzel Logic for Steely Dan and Split for the Groundhogs. I thought you'd perhaps go for Aja and Thank Christ For The Bomb for those.

Fleetwood Mac, Rumours. You said "go" and it was the first thing that came to mind.

Have you been watching Glee lately?

My iPod plays The Chain to me a lot more frequently than random chance can explain alone. I'm certain it has an algorithm that prefers songs where I turned up the volume during previous plays.
