Peerless Class: Rock's Finest Still Going Strong in 2000-02

A Listmania! list by Themis-Athena (from somewhere between California and Germany)
 
Sailing To Philadelphia
1.  Sailing To Philadelphia by Mark Knopfler
The list author says:
  "The album of the year 2000, bar none. (And that's saying a lot here!) Lyrics and guitar solos that sail right into your soul.  And the British version is the only one with all 14 tracks!"
£4.79   Used & New from: £0.43
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (52 customer reviews)

The Ragpickers Dream (Bonus Tracks)
2.  The Ragpickers Dream (Bonus Tracks) by Mark Knopfler
The list author says:
  "His followup album, only 2 years later, is a diamond in the rough; a rootsy, earthbound, stripped down affair. Just a guy and his guitar: that's what it's still all about for MK at heart. Why Aye Man!"
Used & New from: £0.34
3.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (29 customer reviews)

Inside Job
3.  Inside Job by Don Henley
The list author says:
  "It took him 11 years to release this, but it's more than well worth the wait. He's a family man now, but that doesn't mean he has lost his edge. Secret gem: "Miss Ghost" (Jimmie Vaughan on guitar!)"
Used & New from: £0.48
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (21 customer reviews)

Trouble in Shangri-La
4.  Trouble in Shangri-La by Stevie Nicks
The list author says:
  "The self-proclaimed Welsh witch is back in fine shape, too; imho her best since "Bella Donna." Every single song touches a chord with me."
£5.58   Used & New from: £2.20
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (32 customer reviews)

All That You Can't Leave Behind
5.  All That You Can't Leave Behind by U2
The list author says:
  "They left behind their mid-90s' experiments and returned to what they do best. Lyrics are a forte, as always, and they don't call the guy on guitars the Edge for nothing (but great ballads, too)."
£7.98   Used & New from: £0.01
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (186 customer reviews)

Bruce Springsteen Live In New York City
6.  Bruce Springsteen Live In New York City by Bruce Springsteen
The list author says:
  "The NYPD went blue in the face over "41Shots," but 1000s came to see a reunited E-Street Band. Not to be missed, even if you weren't there in person, too. The live album of the year 2001!"
£8.37   Used & New from: £1.28
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (30 customer reviews)

The Rising
7.  The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
The list author says:
  "Only the Boss could have captured 9-11 like this: resonant, defiant, oh-so all-American, and undeniably Springsteen & Co. And it's a damned fine rock album, too!"
£5.19   Used & New from: £1.45
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (53 customer reviews)

...All This Time
8.  ...All This Time by Sting
The list author says:
  "But all the world suffered. Recording live in Tuscany on the night of 9-11, Sting & band were struck by the news and played an improvised set list; paying dignified tribute to the suffering of 1000s."
Used & New from: £0.95
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (22 customer reviews)

Reptile
9.  Reptile by Eric Clapton
The list author says:
  "Clapton revisited all things Ripley (where he's from), and this was the result. Nice to have some free studio time & great musicians to boot! Not all straightforward blues, but damned good throughout."
£9.31   Used & New from: £0.14
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (22 customer reviews)

Riding With the King
10.  Riding With the King by B.B. King
The list author says:
  "A jam session that didn't even take a month to record. (Hence "Reptile," see above.) They'd long wanted to do this, and you can tell they were having the time of their lives when they finally did."
£6.79   Used & New from: £1.89
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (35 customer reviews)

One More Car, One More Rider - Live 2-Cd Set, Enh'D-Uk
11.  One More Car, One More Rider - Live 2-Cd Set, Enh'D-Uk by Eric Clapton
The list author says:
  "Should the "Reptile" tour really have been his last one?! Eric, say it ain't so! But at least I'll have this memento of the L.A. concert where I last saw him. A reluctant god's worthy farewell!"
£5.49   Used & New from: £1.58
3.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (9 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Selected Works 1972-1999
12.  Selected Works 1972-1999 by Eagles
The list author says:
  "Another show I'll never forget: I spent NYE2000 with them, so this was a must for CD4 alone. But it's a great career retrospective, too. And it seems that Hell Froze Over for good...who'd have thunk?!"
£47.08   Used & New from: £17.99
3.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (10 customer reviews)

Skin
13.  Skin by Melissa Etheridge
The list author says:
  "She's heartbroken and gets under your skin with some of the most personal & intense lyrics she's ever written, and guitar work to match. Favorites? Ask me again in 5 years; right now, every one."
£5.49   Used & New from: £0.86
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (8 customer reviews)

Silver Lining
14.  Silver Lining by Bonnie Raitt
The list author says:
  "The queen of blues rediscovered her Fundamental Things 4 years ago and now returns with a big helping of what her fans love most: stellar slide guitar, wistful lyrics and first rate collaborations."
Used & New from: £2.69
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (5 customer reviews)

Love and Theft
15.  Love and Theft by Bob Dylan
The list author says:
  "The bard's done it again: his voice shot, he delivers poignant lyrics and songs drawing on past albums & new things alike, and shows us how you put together an album others will have trouble matching."
£5.00   Used & New from: £0.93
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (23 customer reviews)

Are You Passionate?
16.  Are You Passionate? by Neil Young
The list author says:
  "Passionate? You bet he still is. (Seen him live lately? As if proof were needed ...) And his latetest offering is a soulful affair plucked right from the shadow of Harvest Moon. Just beautiful."
£5.57   Used & New from: £1.79
3.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (15 customer reviews)

The Last DJ
17.  The Last DJ by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
The list author says:
  "Another guy who has a bone to pick with the recording industry, and with corporate culture in general. (Surprised he & Henley are friends?) And boy, he still rocks - not a last hurray by a long shot!"
Used & New from: £4.87
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (6 customer reviews)

Feed the Fire
18.  Feed the Fire by Timothy B. Schmit
The list author says:
  "Released 11 years after his last solo album (like Henley's latest), and his best by far. Shows off all sides of the multitalent that he is. What took you so long, Timothy?!"
Used & New from: £31.59
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (8 customer reviews)

The Naked Ride Home
19.  The Naked Ride Home by Jackson Browne
The list author says:
  "He took his time to release a new album too (all of 6 years!), but it's one of his best yet. Flowing melodies; semiautobiographical, introspective as always, and at times...happy?! Now here's a twist!"
£2.99   Used & New from: £1.47
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (9 customer reviews)

October Road
20.  October Road by James Taylor
The list author says:
  "And another one of the great songwriters is back with an album that proves he is still far from the autumn of his many gifts. Comfort food for his fans, spiced up with flavors from Belfast to Brazil."
£3.99   Used & New from: £1.49
3.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (14 customer reviews)

Reveal
21.  Reveal by R.E.M.
The list author says:
  "This, on the other hand, is a far cry from R.E.M.s rocker "Monster;" but it quickly grew on me, too. Which wasn't entirely unpredictable, though...heck, I even like "Up" (1998), and this one's better!"
£6.98   Used & New from: £0.01
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (91 customer reviews)

Up
22.  Up by Peter Gabriel
The list author says:
  "Speaking of "Up"... don't ya' think this is getting a tad repetitive, guys? Title aside, though, this is a strong entry in Peter Gabriel's canon, reminiscent of the best of his post-Genesis solo work."
£6.61   Used & New from: £1.82
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (60 customer reviews)

Down the Road
23.  Down the Road by Van Morrison
The list author says:
  "Meanwhile, Van the Man takes a stroll Down the blue(s) Road. Another veteran going back to his musical roots, and he hasn't sounded this good in a long time!"
Used & New from: £3.24
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (17 customer reviews)
