Masked And Anonymous – Columbia

From the all-star fable casting Ole Bob as Jack Fate—"a fallen rock legend well past his prime." They said that, not me. This includes several exotic covers of his songs, from an Italian folk version of "If You See Her, Say Hello" to a Japanese "My Back Pages". "One More Cup Of Coffee" is tackled, amusingly to some of us, by Turkey's recent Eurovision winner, Sertab Erener.

Snow Patrol – Final Straw

Superb third album by undervalued Northern Irish rockers
