Pete Townshend: Empty Glass - solo best
Steelheart: Steelheart - amazing pipes
Rocket from the Crypt: Hot Charity - jagged garage
Quasi: Sword of God - weird pop
Lita Ford: Dangerous Curves - slickly dated
The Desert Sessions: Volume 5 & 6 - underwhelming jams
FireHouse: 3 - third rate
Mouse On Mars: Vulvaland - little quirk
Medicine: Mechanical Forces of Love - jumbled mess
Jon Spencer Blues Explosion: Mo’ Width - worthy comp
