Brian Wilson - Smile : Orchestral vocal/pop for old hippies. Verging on elevator music in places, but with excellent new versions of "Villains and Heroes" and "Good Vibrations". Notable because Brian is, at last, sane enough to realize the creation he should have released 40 years ago.
ZZ Top - Best of: Juvenile, prurient, musico-porn-double-entendre. And that's just the best stuff about it. I loves me some "Rough Boy" and "LaGrange".
Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick: Eveyone else thinks Aqualung is Ian Anderson's greatest work. I think TAAB is.
