You Am I - Hourly, Daily

I think this might be a strange comparison, but Tim Rogers is a bit like Bruce Springsteen on this album.  Not in sound, but in his storytelling ability.  Hourly Daily, is a series of vignettes, kitchen sink dramas and slices of every day Australian life that really resonate with me.  Perhaps writing about Australian life was why You Am I were never a huge success internationally, but the quality of their songs was certainly as good as their international contemporaries.
