30) "The Mid-Morning Recording"              Ride-'Going Blank Again'
Not the best album by Ride, but it is really very good. The lead-off track and single, "Leave Them All Behind" is one of my favorite songs of the 90's as well. I can't write much more about this album, but I am glad that I'm seeing Ride as an influence a lot more these days. It's nice to see a band that I really enjoyed in the early 90's finally get some cred. "Pass through different times, leave them all behind"
