27. Edie Brickell & New Bohemians - Shooting Rubberbands At The Stars - 1988

I really enjoyed this record when it came out. All these years later it still holds up as one of the best albums of the 1980's. "What I Am" and "Circle" were hits, but "Little Miss S" should have been.

"Little Miss S" is about Edie Sedgwick, who was the subject of many songs, from The Velvet Underground's "Femme Fatale" and Dylan's "Just Like a Woman", "Leopard Skin Pill Box Hat" and "Like A Rolling Stone". Maybe others too, I don't know.

"Air Of December" and "Love Like We Do" are also pretty good. A very solid album start to finish. Here's my copy:
