Hits:
Steely Dan - Two Against Nature
Great release to kick off the decade for me, although equally as good was getting hold of the Sony Studio bootlegs - very tight live sets. Fagen's Morph the Cat, entertaining as well.
Allman Brothers - Hittin' The Note
Was thrilled with this release! Excellent tour - totally blown away with Derek Trucks. Started following him more after seeing him live - perhaps my artist of the decade.
Lucinda Williams - West
Wasn't really a fan until I heard this release. Wow.
The Mars Volta - The Bedlam in Goliath
This band! A rare nod to the Grammy judges for giving this band "Best Hard Rock Performance" this year.
Misses (quite literally):
Pretty much a decade devoid of Floyd. David Gilmore made an attempt at an original release that I mostly slept through. Roger Waters - Ça Ira (French for "That'll do", translated as There is Hope)???? Wake me from this coma.
RIP
Christopher Becker Whitley (August 31, 1960 November 20, 2005)
An acquired taste for some, however I enjoyed this artist immensely - he will be sorely missed.
