 | Buena Vista Social Club by Ry Cooder
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $4.72 Great Cuban starter. Check out "Chan-Chan," "El Carretero," "Candela" and "El Cuarto de Tula." If you haven't heard good Cuban music, this album is a MUST! Full of culture and life.

|
 | A Rush of Blood to the Head by Coldplay
Buy new: $11.94 / Used from: $1.83 Great accompaniment to the tender voice of the lead singer. Very emotional sound, very mellow even if the lyrics aren't so creative.
|
 | Big Boi and Dre Present...Outkast by OutKast
Buy new: $8.98 / Used from: $1.04 Outkast is a unique rap group. Chesck out "Rosa Parks." I was wondering who did that 6 year old song. "Everybody move to the back of the bus." Don't have this album, but I'll be picking it up soon.

|
 | Forrest Gump
Buy new: $15.98 / Used from: $7.02 Ah! The movie was great and it was made even better by the awesome soundtrack. Enjoy some good southern oldies like "Sweet Home Alabama." I don't have this CD, but I've seen the movie.

 | Messiah (George Frederick Handel) London Philharmonic Orchestra by Handel
Buy new: $10.97 / Used from: $7.84 I love "Hallelujah Chorus" and "For Unto Us a Child is Born." They are some very complicated classical songs. Famous choral literature here. Heard something about the goverenment? "For Unto Us..."
|
 | Urban Hymns by The Verve
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $1.97 Brit-pop.Too bad that I lost this CD. "Bittersweet Symphony" is one of my favorite songs of all time. The others on this CD are more hallucinogen-heavy and I didn't get enough time to appreciate them.
|

|
 | The Action Figure by Knowdaverbs
Buy used from: $0.28 Christian rap. Geared more toward 10-14 year old black males, but I like it and I'm an 18 year old white female. The lyrics are funny at times. This CD is a little more spontaneous than "pop rap."
|
 | A Little Deeper by Ms. Dynamite
Buy used from: $0.71 Ms. Dynamite has a unique voice. Sounds like the attitude of Nelly Furtado, the style of Blu Cantrell, and the feel of Tweet.
|

|
 | Better Dayz by 2Pac
Buy new: $22.99 / Used from: $4.99 After hearing "Thugz Mansion," I can begin to understand why 2Pac's death was a terrible loss to the music industry, his loved ones, and his fans. And that's only the first song of his I've heard.
|
 | Original Pirate Material by The Streets
Buy new: $12.98 / Used from: $1.83 This is British rap. Yes, Britrap. The accen jus souns oodd in the rops. It's very unusual though. Don't know if I love it or hate it. Seems way offbeat, but that's how it's supposed to be.
|
 | Alanis Morissette: MTV Unplugged by Alanis Morissette
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $1.30 Great artist. Check out "Uninvited." I love the minor key in that. I haven't heard the unplugged version though. It's one of those CDs that's on my wishlist.
