She Kept Her Motor Clean

#47 Back in Black: AC/DC. I always knew this album rocked. It certainly lit up every Sweet 16 and Bar Mitzvah I went to back in the day. But it wasnt until later in life that I realized this was the first album after their former lead singer overdosed. Oh, I get it! Back in Black! They're mourning, but they still kick butt. The guy dies, they go out and find someone who sounds just like him (but even more so), and bust out one of the greatest rock CDs ever. Nice job.

You know what I've got at #47? "The Milk-Eyed Mender" by Joanna Newsom. Very similar to AC/DC in a number of important ways; but at the same time, so very different too ...

Oh yeah, a classic. This one brings me back to the days of my mullet-sporting, muscle shirt-wearing, Camaro-driving youth.
