 | Grace by Jeff Buckley
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $2.67 After buying this in the late 90s, I am still in love with his music. I miss the music he would have made had he lived.
|
 | Joshua Tree (Remastered / Expanded) (Deluxe Edition) (2CD) by U2
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $8.52 Joshua Tree is my favorite from U2 (and I like all of them).
|
 | Rid of Me by PJ Harvey
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $1.99 PJ Harvey rocks! This is one of her earlier works, where her voice is the most powerful and raw. She's calmed a bit since her younger days and has gone on to experiment with other sounds (listen to her most recent-White Chalk).
|
 | Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea by PJ Harvey
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $2.75 I like Stories... as much as Rid of Me, but her sound is more mature on this one. Each song on this CD has been my favorite at one time or another.
|
 | Forty Licks by Rolling Stones
Buy used from: $37.41 I know this may be cheating, since this is a "best of" compilation, but, come on, this is the Rolling Stones.
|
 | The Beatles (The White Album) by The Beatles
Buy used from: $8.59 I like every song on this album...seriously...Number 9? Number 9?
|
 | Experience Hendrix: The Best of Jimi Hendrix by Jimi Hendrix
Buy new: $10.97 / Used from: $5.74 Ok...I know, another compilation, but what can I say? He was a magic man. I get goosebumps when I hear his version of All Along the Watchtower.
|
 | Changesbowie by David Bowie
Buy used from: $0.77 David Bowie often gets overlooked as a legendary rock musician, but not by me. Changesbowie is a compilation of sorts. More recent best of's have been produced. Any one of them will do.
|
 | Fever to Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $5.25 This band is so cool. Maps, Y Control, Cold Light, Modern Romance, and No No No are my faves.
|
 | Add It Up (1981-1993) by Violent Femmes
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $0.01 Fun from beginning to end. Many know Blister in the Sun and Gone Daddy Gone, but when I put this CD in, I listen to every song. I especially like Waiting for the Bus and Gimme the Car. Makes me smile.
|
 | Amos Lee by Amos Lee
Buy new: $11.47 / Used from: $5.40 I don't know why he doesn't get more attention. This entire CD is beautiful. He has a simple, graceful sound and melancholy lyrics. Please give it a listen.
|
 | Nevermind by Nirvana
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $1.24 Do I really have to say anything about this? I remember the fuss surrounding this CD when it first came out. Alot of critics said that it wouldn't stand the test of time. So far they have been proved wrong.
|
 | Broken Boy Soldiers by The Raconteurs
Buy used from: $4.50 Jack White is a genious. If you strongly disagree, ignore this album.
|
 | Begin to Hope by Regina Spektor
Buy new: $10.97 / Used from: $7.46 I wish I had musical talent. I wish I could write these songs. Fidelity is a great song, but there are 4 or 5 others that are equally irresistible...20 Years of Snow, Hotel Song.
|
 | Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $1.99 Just listen. Passionate and idealistic.
|
 | Doolittle by Pixies
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $7.70 La La La Love This! I think Kurt Cobain listed this band as one of his influences. I can hear the tenuous connection.
|
 | Music from the Motion Picture "Purple Rain" by Prince & the Revolution
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $3.00 Is the water warm enough? Yes Lisa.
|
 | FutureSex / LoveSounds by Justin Timberlake
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $2.45 Okay, I had to be honest with myself. I have more songs from Justin's CD on my media player than everyone elses except for Jeff Buckley, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, and Led Zeppelin. Who knows if I'll still want to listen to it a year from know, but so far I can't get enough of it. I also still like a few songs from Justified. I have no excuses.
|
 | Pride & Prejudice by Dario Marianelli
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $10.50 I have a real soft spot for this movie. It's just beautiful...and so is the music.
|
 | Led Zeppelin IV (aka ZOSO) by Led Zeppelin
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $3.55 I could have listed another "Best Of" compilation, but this album is so historically great, it cannot be overlooked.

Listmania!
