Graham Parker & The Rumour
 
 

Squeezing Out Sparks  This album finds Parker at his most acidic and high strung. It may be his best, if you're in the mood. It's certainly the most coherent thing he put out after he gave up the more playful pub-rock approach of his first two albums.

Heat Treatment I heard "Just Something You're Going Through" on KQ one night I was cooking roast beef and potato cakes at Arby's. Parker was in town opening for someone else that night, otherwise they never would've played it and I'd bet your college fund they never played it again. That song got it's hooks into me so bad I just had to have the album, and it has been one of my favorite discoveries ever.
