I just realized that I had missed Dirt, Alice in Chains second disc. For me, artistically and musically it is beyond criticism and analysis. It was a moment in time, like all great recordings are, that will never be again, but thankfully will never be lost.

Schubert,

What was the Cleveland Symphony's second album? I don't think most people would be able to guess.

Al,
I went on to Amazon to check out the Projections disc. I liked it and ordered it. If you aren't already familiar with it, may I suggest Seatrain. I prefer the self-titled disc to Marblehead Messenger. Andy Kulberg was a member of that band as well. Really great songs.
So many already mentioned that I would have chosen. I will add Stand Up by Jethro Tull and Candy O by The Cars.
