February 13: The Nixons - Latest Thing 

For the Nixons, this was Last Thing. After they recorded this for MCA, they got dropped, and it finally came out on Koch in 2000. By that point, half the band had quit, and the Nixons that toured this album was basically Zac Maloy's solo band. But it's a good album. I always liked the Nixons; of course, being from Oklahoma, I have every word and guitar solo from "Sister" memorized. I still think if they'd released their cover of Elton John's "Rocket Man" as a single, they'd be huge now.
The Nixons would be a great candidate for VH1's Bands Reunited in about 10 years, when the hard feelings have worn off.
