I'm a huge fan of anti-Xmas reggae songs

I've been aware of some of the bigger radio hits he's had (mostly "Running on Empty" and "Doctor My Eyes") but I didn't really start listening to Jackson Browne until this past week. Those first five albums are pretty solid!

Was listening to The Muffs' final album, No Holiday, quite a lot last week. This is one of several tracks that stuck in my head:
Love the repeating guitar line that kicks in at around the 14 sec mark and continues for most of the song - though unfortunately it isn't as upfront or easy to hear on this youtube version as it is on cd.

Alphaville- Sounds Like A Melody
Love this song, it almost borders on operatic

God above, what I wouldn't give to see this woman live. Suzanne Vega's Tom's Diner is one of my favorite dance tracks. I think she's mostly known for her acappella work

Suzanne Vega's Tom's Diner is one of my favorite dance tracks. I think she's mostly known for her acappella work Vega has actually done very little accapella stuff, with the original version of "Tom's Diner" being an obvious exception. She's actually best known for being an acoustic guitar-wielding, folk-oriented singer-songwriter who had big international hits in the late '80s and early '90s with songs like "Marlena on the Wall", "Luka", "Left of Center" and the aforementioned dance remix of "Tom's Diner".

God above, what I wouldn't give to see this woman live. I saw her live with Mike Visceglia last year. She did the whole of the Solitude Standing and 99F albums! Good stories too.

One of my best finds recently has been the three 1970-72 albums and one single by Cochise, a sort of prog Dillards based in England. Some longer tracks are reminiscent of the then current post Syd Pink Floyd. It's always amazing to me how you can still discover old music that is high quality and previously entirely unknown to yourself. I went through a similar thing with the group Honeybus. I'm not one of these kids that idolized everything '60s and thought their own time was lesser or lame, but there were unbelievable amounts of really interesting music being made back then and spilling over into the early '70s!

Those first five albums are pretty solid! You might also want to try Nico's debut album Chelsea Girl circa 1966-67 as it has a number of good songs written by Jackson Browne on it. It's not like later Nico, and it is a very idiosyncratic German accented voice she has. Here's one...

That's the irony of her career. She's mainly known for one track which was acapella in her original version, but it's not representative of her usual production style. It is however representative of her icily cool observational writing and vocal style. At the concert, she opened with the acapalla version of Tom's Diner and closed with the DNA remix version, including more dancing than I would have expected. Apparently dance was one of her areas of study when she was younger. Who knew?

I've had that album for a long while but somehow didn't realize that Browne had written many of those songs. Thanks for the heads up!
