I’d have to list “Diesel and Dust” by Midnight Oil, “Beelzebubba” by the Dead Milkmen, “The Long Acre” by In Tua Nua, “Life’s Too Good” by the Sugarcubes and “Winter Was Hard” by Kronos Quartet.

1987, though, is where it’s at. In addition to “Appetite for Destruction”, that year yielded “The Joshua Tree” by U2, “In My Tribe” by 10,000 Maniacs, “The Lion and the Cobra” by Sinéad O’Connor, “Le Mystere de Voix Bulgares” and so, so much more.

Brown over at 808Talk to thank for the Hawaiian side of things.  I LOVE Darin Leong’s music.  His instrumental style is great.  I also bought the main group of the Hawaiian iTunes Essentials and enjoyed it.  I will have to pick up that Hapa CD.  Thanks!
