Volume 1: Rock and Roll Trivia 10

Track Listing on Volume 1 of Rock and Roll Trivia 10 CD

Out of Time        The Rolling Stones
Helpless                 Sugar
Racing Like a Pro The National
Masturbation          Dave Attell
Iron Tusk                  Mastodon
Rebellion (Lies)  The Arcade Fire
Dearly Beloved  Jack Montgomery
Run's House 2         Run-D.M.C.
Dancing Days         Led Zeppelin
Head Down         Soundgarden

Maestro's Pick: Rebellion (Lies) by Arcade Fire.
Why:  Perhaps the last of it's kind.  A truly inspired long-player, short on musical cliches, long on ambition.  And their debut, too?  That's just freaking ridiculous.  Seeing these guys at Cornell in 2004 put on a show that nearly collapsed the building was one of the best shows I have ever seen.

Honorable Mentions:
Head Down by Soundgarden:  Thank god these guys had some hits.  It would have been a tragedy to see them go unnoticed with the most interesting catalog of mind-bending heavy rock put out in the last twenty years.
Helpless by Sugar: Post-Husker Du Bob Mould kills it.  On bass, Dave Barbe, one of Athens, GA's finest record producers.
