Here’s a list of some of my faves from the past decade. Though they’re not ranked in order, I suppose I’ll make an exception for Love performing Forever Changes live in 2003 (yeah, yeah, I know the original album was recorded 32 years ago).
Honorable Mention:
Rob Dickinson Fresh Wine for the Horses
The Damned Grave Disorder
The Stranglers Norfolk Coast
Why? Elephant Eyelash
Caribou Andorra
Scott Walker The Drift
The Polyphonic Spree The Fragile Army
Radiohead Kid A
The Hold Steady Almost Killed Me
The Shins Chutes Too Narrow
Whether you want to call Devo legends or not, their highly influential legacy is finally being given its due.

Ex-Stranglers lead singer/guitarist Hugh Cornwell put on one of the most spirited performances I’ve ever seen by him.
10 great (more or less) songs with memorable titles.

33 years and counting, the Damned remain an unstoppable force.
The Damned have released their first album in seven years and thankfully the wait was well worth it.

Dickinson flirts with melodrama but unlike Wile E. Coyote, who invariably chases the Road Runner only to fall off a cliff, Dickinson is more a like an experienced horse that gallops near the periphery of a jagged cliff yet knows enough to not fall off.
