Here's a few surprises in the past year, ones I truly liked:

JOAN ARMATRADING. "Save Me" and "Love and Affection"

THE RAMONES blistering set. All.

JUDAS PRIEST. "Metal Gods" (check out the Youtube video, awesome)

LINDA RONSTADT. "Colorado"

CROSBY, STILLS, NASH & YOUNG. "Southbound Train"

JEFFERSON AIRPLANE. All that early stuff, awesome. "Run Around" "Somebody to Love"

CREAM. "I'm So Glad" and "Crossroads"

THE BAND. "Up on Cripple Creek"

QUICKSILVER MESSENGER SERVICE. "Codine" and "Calgary" and "Mona".

There's 85 plus on my favorites list. You guys have a great new year, and merry Christmas.
