Service: Rhapsody - What have they added in the past 2 years?

I'm sure they have added a lot of new albums, i.e, those release during the past 2 years. How about old stuff? Let's compare my sampling of what is available on Rhapsody and what is not by using mostly nonmainstream artists/albums from my first review :
Punk: Now become AvailablePunk: Still Unavailable
Minor Threat,
Punk Goes Metal

Jazz: Now become AvailableJazz: Still Unavailable
David Murray (2 albums only)Maria Schneider
Metal: Now become AvailableMetal: Still Unavailable
Shadows Fall (1 old album only)
Smashing Pumpkins
Tool,
John 5,
Exodus,
Impaled,
Metal Massacre
Classic rock: Now become AvailableClassic rock: Still Unavailable

Led Zeppelin,
Beatles


Decent improvement. Agreed?

Album: Strange As Angels - A Tribute to The Cure

I always want to cover The Cure's tunes with my band but it never happened so I have to listened to others' cover versions. As a metal fan, I found Chimaira's rendition of Fascination Street indeed fascinating. This album is another interesting one and they all play in the punk/post-punk style.
