15 credits left on eMusic...

12 credits (generally) = 1 album.

Looking for a final album plus a few tracks before I cancel the membership.

Recent binge included Tom Waits, Michael Jackson, Jimi Hendrix, Wagner, R. E. M., Weird Al, and Patricia Barber.

I took a look to see what they had for Zappa, about whom I know almost nothing. The only album they had was a "hits" compilation. Worth my time or don't bother?

Hmm... a bunch of Morrissey. Starting point?

Barring that, I'm open to suggestions -- album or track.

PS - Dock, someone is on your wavelength. NMH won "Best Album on eMusic".

    None of those are my favorite Zappa songs.

    The only sort of starting point I can imagine Morrisey to be is the starting point for a research paper on Music History (his recent album notwithstanding).

    I suggest you stream the Current http://minnesota.publicradio.org/radio/services/the_current/
    while you play Civ for about a week and see what you come away with.

    Alternately, invest in checking out the Current's top 89 of 2009

    Other than that, two words: Show tunes.

    Ditto Aaron's comments. Based on Current influence, listening to a lot of the following lately:

    The XX
    Spoon
    MGMT
    Brother Ali
    Mumford & Sons

    I did the 89 for 09 recently and came away with a lot of good songs.

    I doubt you will find it for your credits but look up "Not The Kid" by Communist Daughter.
