This is the final (and perhaps the finest) album by the Alternative Band called "The Cranberries." Bursting on to the Alt/Indie scene in 1993 with their debut album entitled "Everyone Is Doing It, Why Can't We?" their haunting track "Linger" continues to be heavily featured on Alt/Indie Rock radio stations across the world. Today I play my favorite tracks from their final Album appropriately titled "In the End" released in April of 2019, following the death of their lead singer Delores O'Riordan.

Alternative Anthems . . . the soundtrack of your emotional life. Peter Gabriel - "Games without Frontiers", Oasis - "Wonderwall", Richard Durand - "There is Hope", Badly Drawn Boy - "Something to Talk About", Red Hot Silly Peppers. . . I mean Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Snow", Metric - "Help I'm Alive", Florence and the Machine - "Drumming Song (live)", Smithereens - "Behind the Wall of Sleep", ChoA & Iron - "Don't Be Shy", Peter Murphy - "Cuts You Up", Chameleons - "Second Skin"

Guilty Pleasures? Hells Yeah . . For The Love of God . . . Get these songs . . . OUT OF MY HEAD . . . ! ! !

"Adore" by Smashing Pumpkins is a controversial album. Coming after the success of two highly regarded efforts ("Siamese Dreams" and "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness"), it marked a shift into alternative electronica. The mood is dark as befits a band buffeted by divorce, drug addition and line up changes. It is also one of my very favorite Smashing Pumpkins efforts. With heavy musical textures . . . and a heart breaking libretto . . . it is not to be missed.

Velvet Underground Alumni John Cale dazzles with this requiem for the dead of the Falklands War. Alternative Classical with a Dylan Thomas Libretto ? Yeah. Got it here. "Words for the Dying" is de rigueur for the Living.

Composer and Producer Linda Perry presents original tracks from her 2005 album entitled "In Flight."
