43: The Very Best Of - Nina Simone

I enjoyed this, it added a little more to my "Blues" knowledge and sounds very good too.

Not much more to say on it than that. I recommend it. I'll be returning to it.

42: I Speak Because I Can - Laura Marling

This album has a nice sound to it and personal songs by a talented singer songwriter. I was not able to get into the album like I did with "Alas I Cannot Swim" which I took to quickly. But I am going to continue to play it from time to time as it does have a nice sound.

41: Black Swans and Wormhole Wizards - Joe Satriani

This wasn't as exciting as I had hoped. It sounded more generic Joe than the exciting, over the top, egotistical, self indulgent and masturbatory tracks of previous albums. Still good but Id recommend The Extremist or Flying in a Blue Dream.
It was good but not his best.

40: Shark Bites And Dog Fights - Skindred

Enjoyed this a lot. Saw them play sonisphere and they rock. So knew this would be a good one.

The cover of "Electric Avenue" is a lot of fun.
