I ran across a CD a friend sent me a few years back, a different CD by Todd Snider than Songs For the Daily Planet. I almost tossed it, but decided to give it a listen. I was amazed by Todd's heartfelt lyrics, and decided to find more of his CDs, among them Songs For the Daily Planet. This CD also has some great songs, and proved once again to me that a lot of great music from the past just never got the recognition it deserved (among them Brewer & Shipley, Batdorf & Rodney, Smokie, etc. etc.). I actually seek out music from the past that I never got a chance to hear on Top 40 radio, and more often than not I find great artists who in my opinion never got the airplay they deserved. Todd Snider is one of these artists. I now have four of his CDs, and there are great songs on each of them. Sure, I don't love every song, but I can tell you that his songs are worth a listen......Read full review

When I first purchased this C.D. I bought it because I liked 'Alright Guy' (Just like everyone else I am guessing!)This CD turned out to be the proverbial diamond in the rough, and that is an understatement! Everyone should own a copy of this CD no matter what kind of music you like! I can almost guarantee you will laugh, cry, dance, and enjoy! I have seen Todd many times since I first bought this CD, and I have met and talked with him each time! I have some VERY funny stories about that, but those are mine to keep for my own! PURCHASE THIS CD You wont be sorry, and if Todd ever tours where you can get to the show I would suggest checking that out too! Great performer, song writer, and human being! I read one of the reviews about his work here said 'spread the word' Yes this musician deserves every CD to be tripple platinum and every show sold out stadium fashion. But I think it's kind of nice enjoying Todd's work amungst a few GREAT friends!Read full review
Glad to have Todd and his points of view back in my collection, always entertaining. He's great at adding humor to everyday happenings, and can also open your eyes to what lies beneath those things we take for granted.

I had this one cassette tape when it first came out. I just purchased this CD. Todd Snider is brillant songwriter. Tongue in cheek enough, thought- provoking enough and with a painless way to make us take a look of ourselves.
All the songs on this album are worth a listen..... They really speak to the generation xers Awsome album
