Manic Street Preachers -- Lifeblood.
I've always liked "Empty Souls" as (what seems to me) one of the more honest songs about the rock star experience.

Just catching up. Very sorry to hear to hear about your Dads, guys. Mine is now 90, too, and I really appreciate the time that we still have to spend together.
Counting Crows -- Underwater Sunshine etc. etc.
Covers, but some are really worthwhile, particularly "Four White Stallions" and "Like Teenage Gravity", IMO.
This is my thinking too. Alec bogarts the 1, Claire actually hides the 2 in her bedroom closet. Daddy needs a 3.
As an aside, downloaded the iOS version of iPhoto today to try it out. It's ridiculously slick!
