By an Amazon.com customer
The Best of SadeThe Best of Sade by Sade
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $4.44
This LIST took a while, but here's my picks!! I have ALL of Sade's albums. Her music is smooth and relaxing. She has depth. There's NO other like Sade. I also recommend "Lovers Rock".
The Doors Box SetThe Doors Box Set by The Doors
Buy new: $69.98 / Used from: $14.99
My favorite rock group of all time. The Doors had a distinct sound all their own. Their mischievious/mysterious frontman (Morrison) brought attention with crazy stage antics and introspective poetry.
Stranger on EarthStranger on Earth by Lina
Buy used from: $10.95
Don't sleep on this girl! She's in a class all her own,blending jazz with hip-hop. "Waiting" is one of the most beautiful songs EVER. "Watch Your Mouth", "Don't Say Nothin", "Batches"=MAD ATTITUDE!!!

Still StandingStill Standing by Goodie Mob
Buy new: $8.98 / Used from: $2.75
Their sophomore album and my personal favorite, Goodie MoB addresses societal issues, combining "in your face" lyrics with southern soul. they are, in my opinion, the BEST rap group of all time.

Dolores O'Riordan is SO REAL. I have all their albums now, and if I had to pick, this would probably be my favorite. Every song is an EMOTIONAL work of ART.
StarStar by Belly
Buy used from: $0.01
I got a thing for all male groups with a frontWOMAN. (think Cranberries, Fugees, No Doupt, Blondie) They have a certain intrigue and Belly is no exception. Little girlish voice, odd lyrics=unique.

The group is UNDERAPPRECIATED. MUST HAVE! "Snowblind Friend" is very touching. "Tenderness"-Most MEN need to hear this song! "For Ladies Only" is a nice tribute to us women. And"Who Needs Ya" ROCKS.
