Fugazzi Grand III : My Top 500 Albums (#282 and #281)

(#282, Full Moon Fever by Tom Petty)

This is Petty's first solo album, but a lot of fans refer to this album as Traveling Wilburys Vol 2, as many of the Wilburys appear on this record, and it was recorded between each of the Wilbury recording sessions.  This album features three or four songs that have become staples at every Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers show.











This is "Runnin' Down a Dream" ...




(#281, Gish by Smashing Pumpkins)

According to Wikipedia, this entire album was recorded in Madison, WI with a total budget of $20,000.  Butch Vig and Billy Corgan worked together to co-produce the album.  In the early 90s, everybody was talking about Pearl Jam, Nirvana and Alice in Chains, but for my money, some of the best guitar playing from that era came from Corgan and James Iha.










Take a listen to "Siva" ...
