Live: 1975-85 (3CD)Live: 1975-85 (3CD) by Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $18.00
The Boss cannot be beat when performing live, but sitting in your car, moving at a snails pace, Springsteen keeps my mind sharp, with lyrics that are on par with any poet that has ever lived.

One of the great concerts in Central Park.

Havens baby. There is something about that voice, his stories, and his playing that sets me at ease.

Perhaps the best album for driving

Like a great pair of old, worn-in jeans.
I'm the ManI'm the Man by Joe Jackson

My favorite record period. I wore out the first two tapes, before getting it on CD.
Clifford Brown & Max RoachClifford Brown & Max Roach by Clifford Brown
Buy used from: $13.31
Great album, but "Delilah's" the jam. I've seen Roach perform at the Blue Note. Having seen him perform live from just a few feet away, resonates when listening to his records.
