Warren Zevon - anything he did in the 90s. If I had to pick one, I'd say "Life'll Kill Ya."

Watershed - Twister : To me, this album is a Lost Classic of the 1990s, a power-pop tour de force that SHOULD have put Watershed on top of the 90s commercial-succes map alongside Green Day and Hootie and the Blowfish. And I think Jim's involvement is a minimal factor.
