Matthew Sweet - Earth [honorable mention]

:-) [Some good Lloyd guitar solos, atop super-cheesy 1980s keybs and behind Sweet singing in a strangely affected voice that, quite frankly, irritates. Quine has all of 2 solos as far as I can hear: one at the very end of track 6 -- “Vertigo” -- and one on track 11 -- “Having a Bad Dream.” Even as a huge fan of Quine, it doesn’t justify it for me. Also, Gary Lucas on a couple tracks. Lloyd is on about a third of the tracks.]
