mostly excellent. Who knew Rod Stewart was ever worth listening too? Not I.


Songs
Jesus the Missing Years - John Prine
Blackwaterslide - Bert Jansch (basis of several Jimmy Page songs)
Amplifier - the dBs
You Said Something - PJ Harvey (saw her this year: quite good show)
Hole in the Bucket - Spearhead
Strange - Wire
There's a Story in Your Voice - Elvis Costello and Lucinda Williams
Black is the Color of my True Loves Hair - Nina Simone
Crown of Love - Arcade Fire


There was probably more, but this is sufficient.
