Sad that Dex’s sister Sara just passed away. They would come through Florida from time to time as Dex Romweber Duo - think they must have family down here. I regret never catching the show.

Totally agree with your top 2. Swordfishtrombones was such a musical game changer. I'd probably move Mule Variations and my first introduction, Blue Valentine, up a bit. Think we will hear from him again?

The magazine always caveated Alt County as "whatever that is" if it helps. I claim plausible deniability on whatever is responsible for the Hell that is Florida Georgia Line. I don't think there is a clear path. You gotta love "Old Town Road" though.

Thanks Steve. Saw so many of those SoCal bands (and the punk ones too) coming through the I-10 corridor in Houston.

Thanks Howard. Not sure anyone will ever top your six day run at SXSW!

Saw her with This Is The Kit last Summer - they were fantastic!

I hope you’re not talking about that faucet commercial. I bought a case of them.

Awesome list and very cool thing to share! I miss Mark E. Smith and his contributions to the craft very much. I managed to review three of these classic albums for our site, so I guess I must have had some semblance of similar taste. Love Charlie Feathers as well - another true iconoclast.

Thanks guys. All these artists should be national heroes, but sadly go mostly unknown.

Great list. Parts of Lou Reed's Blue Mask go somewhere beyond depressing for me - brutally confessional I guess. Not sure the album itself is depressing, but Pink Moon always makes me feel sad (or at least needing another scotch). I couldn't even listen to the Mount Eerie album Tim mentioned - I tried.
