REM- Accelerate
Yawn... My friend Chan put it best: "This is one of those albums that you really want to like, but..."
I don't think that they've been the same since Bill Berry left. My wife and I saw them in 2004 in Nashville at the Ryman and I thought that it was not compelling at all. In contrast I saw them in 1989 in Knoxville during the Green tour and it was an event.

Down- NOLA
I'm really trying to like this a lot more than I really am. It's certainly not terrible, but I just don't see the point. The concept of swamp-metal intrigues me, but the reality of it isn't doing much for me.

The Rolling Stones- Five By Five
Having recently seen 'Shine A Light', I've been inspired to listen to the Rolling Stones discography. I remember in the past not being terribly taken with the really early albums, but now find myself really enjoying them.

Dropkick Murphys- Live on St. Patrick's Day
I really wanted to enjoy this a lot more than I did. As a big fan of Shane McGowan I had high hopes of listening to a Pogues clone. There were a couple of nice moments involving bagpipes and a marriage proposal, but the majority of the music left me nonplussed. I don't think I really care for any of the bands that comprise the so-called punk revival. Rancid's ..And Out Came the Wolves was the single exception.
