The Smithereens - “Blues Before And After”

New Additions

I knew the Midnight Oil would be a hit with some on here. I really haven’t spent much time with them. Most of the songs I have heard feel like I am getting lectured. Even still “Beds Are Burning” is a bop and I appreciate their passion.
Blue Sky Mine was one of my first cassette singles 😅 Still love it today.

Looking at this chart, it's crazy how many of these songs I still listen to today. I still listen to at least half of these songs on a regular basis.

No Myth by Michael Penn is another all-timer
