The debut album New Wave by British alternative rock band The Auteurs was shortlisted for the 1993 Mercury Prize. Allmusic said “the band’s carefully crafted, three-minute pop songs are in the vein of The Kinks, The Smiths, and The Beatles.” I second that…great tunes. |

The Yardbirds 1966 album Roger the Engineer (or Yardbirds in the UK) is the band’s only LP with guitarist Jeff Beck on all tracks and contains all original material. The psychedelic affair was perhaps their last great work. How do you rate Roger? theyardbirds.com |
