I heard Jewel’s “Foolish Games” on the radio driving home from Sunday worship. I hadn’t heard that in quite a while. Honestly Jewel’s Pieces of You was one of the CDs which I had planned on getting rid of by Ebaying. Here’s a list.

• Jewel – Pieces of You – Like the rest of America, and virtually every college student at Lipscomb, I bought this in 1994. Three good (overplayed) hits on this CD. “Who Will Save Your Soul,” “Foolish Games,” and “You Were Meant for Me.” Jewel wasn’t a one hit wonder. More likely a 3 hit wonder. You didn’t hear much from her after “Pieces…” She tried to duplicate her peak with her sophomore album titled “Spirit.” But it just couldn’t be done. Like Howard Dean she peaked too soon.

• Green Day – Dookie – Again, sing-a-long radio friendly punk album. I’m not sure you can take a band seriously that has a Muppet on the back fo their album. Unfortunately for Green Day’s part…all their songs sound the same. Hence many of their songs which ended up on their greatest hits album are on Dookie.

• Blues Traveler – Four – Thankfully I bought this used. $8.99 at the Great Escape. It’s not that it’s a bad album. It’s that it falls to the problem of Green Day. Same-sounding-music.
  I had a chance to see Blues Traveler a few years ago. But I left before they came on. Who knows if I missed something spectactular. Probably not.

• Hootie and the Blowfish – Cracked Rear View – I’m not going to go on a Hootierant again. I’ve done that many times before. Let’s just say that Hootie was way over played during the summer of 1995.

• Spin Doctors – Pocket Full of Kryptonite – Why did I ever buy this album? A fleeting passion, I guess.

• Cranberries – No Need to Argue – I think I listened to it 5 times during my college years, and probably haven’t bothered with it since.

Some notes about Half.com. Half doesn’t let sellers price their CDs at less than 75 cents since it would not be worth the listings.
I’ll probably write more about CDs that are worth keeping later on. Stay tuned.
