Must-have albums that may not be quite so of the moment.
We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions: Bruce Springsteen
First to recommend
Description
The most unlikely album to wend its way into my heart. At the time, I was not a huge Springsteen fan, and I knew Pete Seeger not one bit. But this albums is sheer, unadulterated fun. Mostly traditional songs, which you probably know regardless of how up you are on Peter Seeger. Great folk album with energy to spare.

Nothing's Shocking: Jane's Addiction
First to recommend
Description
Jane's Addiction were such a great alt-rock band. Neither Perry Farrel, nor Dave Navaro have been quite able to match what they did together here and on Ritual de lo Habitual since since. Essential track "Jane Says".

Description
The second Jane's Addicition album saw them build on their great alt-rock songs and screaming-sung vocals to deliver a sophomore album to match their great debut. Sadly, this would be the last album from these guys as a whole.

The Cure - Galore : The Singles 1987-1997

Description
The Cure have some really great songs, and this album has just about all of them. From "Friday I'm in Love" to "Lovesong". Must-have for any music collection.

Ghost In The Machine: The Police
First to recommend
Description
My personal favorite Police album. Has a ton of great songs, like "Spirits in the Material World" and "Invisible Sun", and of course, the mega-hit "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic". Yes, the themes are sombre at times, but it's such a great album.

Description
Talk about an amazing debut album. "So Lonely", "Roxanne", "Can't Stand Loosing You"... All great, nay, amazingly well crafted pop songs.

Zenyatta Mondatta by The Police
2 people recommended this item
Description
"Don't Stand So Close To Me" opens this album, and it's such a standout track. I remember hearing this song for the first time live, on their last tour and I had to get this one. Great album full of amazing songs, even "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da", which I really don't want to like, because it's so silly, but it's just too catchy not to.

Synchronicity by The Police
2 people recommended this item
Description
Talk about going out with a bang. Great album full of catchy songs. "Every Breath You Take" and "King of Pain" are on here, but for me "Wrapped Around Your Finger" is the standout track. If you ever get a chance to see this song live it's so cool. It really cements just how amazing of a percussionist Stewart Copeland is.

Recovering the Satellites: Counting Crows
First to recommend
Description
Yes, you can call me corny, but I still love the second Counting Crows album. It's a great downer album, all melancholy and maudlin at times. It's filled with stories about depressed girls who can pick the winning horse, failed relationships, loosing yourself and walking away. Good for when you're not feeling all the great about the world and don't necessarily want to be uplifted.

A Boy Named Goo: Goo Goo Dolls
First to recommend
Description
In my opinion, the other overlooked Goo Goo Dolls album. This one had "Name", which became their first hit and led to their eventual down-slide into the land of prom ballads. Overall though, this album is still kickin' it, with sold rock songs through out. Ok, yes, the last song, "Slave Girl" is irredeemably stupid, but aside from that, the whole record is filled with good rock'n'roll.
